Plate Shoes Sizes

[mikefromcanada]

Hi everyone, looking for some advice. Looking for some plate shoes. Not much options up here in Canada, and anything I get, I need to order online. I currently wear NB shoes, size 12 4E. I was looking for a pair of New Balance MUL460v3 shoes mostly because I thought I would have the best chance to a proper size (I can return but have to pay shipping). Also, I read good things about them. However, there doesn't appear to be a pair of size 12 4E in Canada. But, there is a size 12 4E in the 3N2 Plate shoe however. Does anyone have experience wearing both brands and can compare the sizing? Or how the NB Plate shoes compare in size to regular NB shoes? Thanks.

Whatever you do, don’t get 3n2. You’ll thank me later

Id check out the Mizunos and try 12.5

Absolutely this.  I used the 3n2 plate shoes all last year and was constantly battling trying to put in shoe inserts, wear extra socks/etc, and they were super painful after only a game or two.

I did a 3-pack the first time with the Mizunos I grabbed on ebay (shipped from Japan was cheaper than the US side vendors!), and my feet were great!  The arch is a little high on them for me, but that didn't bother me more than the first few minutes, and my feet felt great after.

I've thought hard about the mizunos but im worried about the width as well. I have high arches so that would be good for me. 

My current New Balance are about dead.

Might just need to pop on a pair and see how they fit. Can always return.
