Sizing Guide for CSSBuy Sneakers
Sizing is the most common issue for new buyers. Most rep sneakers run true to size for Nike and Jordan models. Adidas models (especially Yeezys) tend to run half a size small — size up. New Balance models are generally true to size. Always check the seller's size chart and read community reviews for the specific batch you are ordering. When in doubt, go half a size up rather than down — you can add insoles to fill space but cannot fix shoes that are too small.
