i got grey/navy

[ReZ]

I wear a 10 in vans, 10.5 in nikes. would i be able to squeeze into 9.5 fbt's or even 11's comfortably?

[fang-interops]

10 would be your best size.

[Gundrosen]

Where can you cop visvim in New York? I'm heading over there in march, and I would love to get some visvim while I'm there :)

How did visvim get so hype?

[B-RaD]

sorry if this question has been answered before but how does Visvim Folk FBT Shamans fit? I've seen true to size, .5 big, and .5 small im confused lol I wear a 9-9.5 in everything so what size should I get?

[ETW]

9 or 9.5 would work. If the 9s are tight you can take off your socks or remove the skirt to free up space

[bdotwells]

^lol, anyway. Heres some more in line for this year.. just contributing...

i really like some of visvim's shoes but they want 700 bucks here in switzerland. shit, even louis vuitton shoes are cheaper, haha. (i know, i know)

im an 11 and i copped an 11. i had the same question too concerning if i should go .5 up or down... get a 9.5 if thats what you normally go with. the shoe's really soft so there shouldnt be a problem with breaking in the shoe.

I ordered from them too before. It took three weeks for them to ship to San Diego. And for people who are asking, I went with a 10 with my Shaman Folks and I normally wear a size 10. They fit perfect to me.

[bdotwells]

Hey sweets I ordered some Visvims for Hufsf last sunday. When can I expect them to arrive? Im in Massachusetts

[Mostarr]

david duchovney was wearing shamans last night on the tonight show they look alright with plain jeans.

I feel that these shoes only look good with slim fit pants.

Not true at all....call and talk to the web order guy...i literally got my shamans in 6 days from the date of order.

That fantastic guy is iffie...i tried to buy from him and when i asked for proof of purchase which he said he used to offer he refunded my money. also he had 3 accounts at one time and 2 of the three of them been shut down.

[shigablaow]

I actually prefer them over the older, more "puffier" looking soles..

[traCk.]

you sir are pretty much correct on how those models fit

[ETW]

My folk Lhamos fit a little smaller than my folk Shamans

[bdotwells]

qwestien u guys... my fbt's came in and they feel.. roomy. I went .5 size down but i still feel like i need to wear 2 pairs of socks when i put them on. Are they supposed to fit roomy since the toe kind of slopes down? I wonder if i size down again if my toes will be potruting from the top of the shoe. Should i send them back or leave them as is?

[bdotwells]

Anybody?

[ETW]

Sounds like theyre too big, considering theyre meant to be worn without socks. What size are you normally and what size did you get?

[bdotwells]

im a size 10, i got a 9.5

[traCk.]

heads up to anyone in the NY area...the two-tone kiefers at Union are down from $398 to $199! i snagged my pair yesterday. the dude there also told me that theyre next shipment of new visvims will come in at the end of feb probably

[kinglew619]

still contemplating picking up a size 12 pair of fbt shamans but i wear size 13, not sure if id fit them

[ETW]

You could probably fit into size 12 regular fbts without the insole but Im not sure how comfortable that would be

[CAKIN.]

i need cheap visvims...=c

[xovenmittx]

yo im a size 12 and i was thinking about the shamans i tried on a pair at concepts in 12 and they were kinda snug, like they'd stretch for me fine but for a 13 it'd be pretty tight and probably not fun to wear, i went with the two tones anyways

[kinglew619]

how does the size 12 two tones fit you?

[Edirty]

Does anyone know of any tips or guides for checking whether visvims are legit or not? Preferably with FBTs.

[fang-interops]

Just look at the quality, it's really easy.

[traCk.]

how does the size 12 two tones fit you?

dude im telling you, im a size 14 in nikes....comfortably! mainly dunks and jordans that is. i have FBT's and kiefers. i took the insole out of both of them and they fit beautifully, you shouldnt have a problem. with the shaman thing though youd probably be fucked in trying to get those to stretch comfortably

[ReZ]

Anyone know if the Hockney fits true to size? FBT's usually fit .5 size bigger..

[xovenmittx]

two tones are pretty roomy for me but whateves they're comfy

[cjl2g]

is union la still at 25 % off or is it more now?

[karl winslow]

did nez perce fbt's come in 12?

[fang-interops]

Pretty sure they didn't.

[karl winslow]

didnt think so, figured they started with the G-line and from there on...oh well, gotta find g-line ancestors then...

[Gmas]

Does anyone know if the new Shaman Folk FBT's come in a 10.5??? I'm assuming they would since I've seen size 9.5 but can't find a 10.5 anywhere for the life of me. Wasn't sure if maybe the 1/2 sizes stopped after 10 or something.

Also, someone mentioned they stretch. Anyone have first-hand experience with how much they stretch? A 10 is a little snug on me....not uncomfortably tight, but I'd like it a little looser if I could. An 11 is too sloppy.

While I'm asking, anyone know the price at Union??? Would save me a long-distance phone call. Thanks!

[oinkoinkpig]

anyone know anything about next seasons shoes except the colorful serras
i'm deciding whether to buy shamans or wait for next seasons and see what they come up with >.<

[ETW]

Gmas- the only half size they come in is 9.5. If you get them in size 10 they should stretch out comfortably within the first few wears

[Gmas]

Gmas- the only half size they come in is 9.5. If you get them in size 10 they should stretch out comfortably within the first few wears
Thanks man, appreciate it.

Damn - makes no sense, but for some reason I had a suspicion that was the case. Guess I'll see if I can do the 10's. Part of the problem with the Shaman FBT's is they feel like your foot is higher at the back and lower at the front so your foot naturally slides towards the front of the shoe. The 11's felt too sloppy though.

Wonder why they only made that one half size???

[Mini Logo]

My Lhamos fit perfect with a little bit of room, they are a size 9. I came across a good deal on black FBT bearfoots and they are size 8... Will they fit alright?

[karl winslow]

Probably not. Bearfoots actually fit ABOUT a 1/2 size smaller than llamos, so they will be EXTRA tight.

[traCk.]

whole fucking line up of funky colored logans coming up folks! infos on the hb mainpage as of today for s/s09 i believe

[ETW]

Probably not. Bearfoots actually fit ABOUT a 1/2 size smaller than llamos, so they will be EXTRA tight.

Have you worn bear foots? Some people say they fit big, some people say they fit small. I wear size 11 in FBTs and shamans, will size 12 bear foots fit like those?

[JB425]

mini, I have old double tone fbts that are a sz 9 that fit with a little space as well so i assume we're around the same size. i own a pair of bearfoots in an 8. they were somewhat snug but have since stretched (width wise). FYI im a sz 8.5us, hope this helps

[kvc06]

I wear 11 in vans and nikes

if I had the option of 10 or 12 g fbts
which would fit better?
i can fit into a 10 kiefer

[karl winslow]

you seriously couldnt look through a couple of these pages to get your answer?? Lazy fuck. Go with the 10's.

[kvc06]

[Edirty]

Does anyone know of any online stores apart from Huf? Or is anyone willing to do a pickup/know of a proxy

[Brain]

how's hockneys sizing compared to kiefers (patala)? i got a 8 in the kiefers and they are tight, but i guess they'll be great after a few wears...

also, this stuff is real? http://stores.ebay.com/SoldOut-Store_Visvim_W0QQcolZ4QQdirZ1QQfsubZ208479011QQfti dZ2QQtZkm

thanks!

[karl winslow]

Look here guys, if you can't tell the difference between real and fake Visvim, especially like the link above, you probably shouldnt be wearing Visvim at all. 150 for Masterminds? Seriously?

[Brain]

150 for Masterminds? Seriously?

that's what i thought :)

[thechr1slee]

anyone know when the new line will be dropping at union?

[cjl2g]

i just got my ballistic stolen at UCI...if you took it, please return no questons asked. thanks

[unfuccwittable]

^bwahahahhahaha. you should probably be more careful with a 400 dollar bag clown shoes.

[Crea-Tive]

Okay, I'm a size 10 or a 10.5 but I was wondering could I fit into a 9.5 in some fbt shamans or will they be way too small?

[eez]

anyone have a pair of newton low's? copped a pair for a nice price

[bdotwells]

so i wore my fbt's and one of the dangly lace things sneaked its way out and now its lost... does anyone know how i can replace it??

[DeekO]

honestly asking what size you should wear is somewhat irrelevant, not everybody has the same type of foot

I wear 10 in everything but when it comes to visvim its anywhere from an 9-10

my fbt two tones only fit about .5 smaller than most visvims and the same goes with the nez perces but when i tried some shamans i needed a 9, same with the cowans buut i have a pair of kiefers that are 10s and fit me just fine soooo its just kind of wierd i guess

best thing to do is to just go to a retailer and try it on yourself(for those who can)

[Crea-Tive]

I wish I could go to a store,but I think I should just go with the 9.5 we will see how that works out

[Gmas]

Okay, I'm a size 10 or a 10.5 but I was wondering could I fit into a 9.5 in some fbt shamans or will they be way too small?
I have wide feet and I'm sometimes a 9.5, but usually a 10 in pretty much everything. 10.5 in Blazers and the odd narrow show.

In the 2-tone FBT's, a 9 fit me perfect. In the Shaman's I got a 10, and there's definitely no room to spare.

Hope this helps.

[Crea-Tive]

Well do you think I would be good if I take out the insole?I wish huf would restock

[Edirty]

does anyone have any fits with the two tones? Trying to decide whether I should go with them or shell out more for the shamans.

Also does anyone know of any proxies/willing to do a pickup for me?

[Gmas]

If I could only buy one between the FBT 2-tone's and Shaman's, I'd go with the 2-tone's.

The two feel very different on your feet as well.

[oinkoinkpig]

I sold my 2 tons for shamans...and let me tell you..wearing shamans make your feet feel like god..no jokes.

[kickrocker]

they need more g-lines

[fang-interops]

Anybody have a Visvim backpack??? I want to know the size difference between the 20L and the 25L backpacks in comparison to size with a standard Jansport backpack

if some one could post pics i would REALLY appreciate it!


i've been contemplating for a VERY long time on getting one of their bags but never had anything to compare them to in relation to size, I have seen the 50L Visvim backpack at Union LA before (it was literally a CAMPING BAG!!! IT WAS SOOO HUGE ZOMG!!! and $700 something dollars =/ )

I would really appreciate the help if someone could shed some insight

The 20L isnt a very large bag, I would say maybe a little bigger than the standard Jansport. If you carry a larger laptop than a 13, then you should go for the 25L. My Macbook fits snug in the 20L.

[ETW]

I had a pretty standard size north face and my 20L is a little smaller than it

[cjl2g]

yeah the 20l isnt big at all.
some fucker jacked my 20l that i only had for two weeks :(

[Gundrosen]

Am I dreaming or did HB remove an article featuring the new spring/summer collection from the front page?

I know that it included at least a light blue FBT, but I cant find info on it anywhere! It was up on the frontpage a few days ago...

[karl winslow]

yeah the 20l isnt big at all.
some fucker jacked my 20l that i only had for two weeks :(

and you created an EPIC thread on Sufu for it. Thanks to whoever stole this man's backpack, for this thread would have never existed.

Thank you! After reading this i browsed through this thread at older posts and honestly wonder how many people actually own a pair or 2 visvim and are actually into the brand and not the hype that these have on them now? Lets be honest, all i have been seeing lately is people asking how these fit and where to get these? It just seems like they are posting to make people think they are actually going to get a pair for some credit! If u are into the brand u know whats fake whats not, where these are and how they fit!

[Brain]

no.

Works both ways.

[wchien]

dope stuff as always

[JTAING]

@wchien what are you talking about.
@scotty. well said.

all it takes is a look back on older posts to see fittings on FBT's and others. stop asking all it takes is some searching. Like FBT's tend to fit large so always get a size down so if your like a 10 in nikes get a 9 in fbts for a good fit. easy. hockneys practically true to size. and so on just have a look.

[JTAING]

and ETW those Bearfoots are beautiful. nice collection you got going there. all nice and new looking.

[iScotty]

^ I wouldnt say by beating the hell out of your 300 plus shoes is a way of showing u arent on the hype of this company or the shoes! I have been on Visvim way before the hype hit and i barely wear my FBT's! Only because they are 300 plus and feel by beating em up would just be a waste of money and i couldnt wear these every day! Not a shoe for everyday wear IMO! But i hear ya on the hype of Visvim now though!

If they fit like normal FBT's (which they seem to be based on) then yeah a full size big. Shaman's fit true.

Does anyone know how the nomad's fit? True to size or is it more japanese sizing?

nomads have gotten progressively smaller

the first lot were similar to how OF/nbhd etc work, (XL is like western L)

but the last couple releases of nomads have been a size and now almost 2 sizes down.

i have a pair of purple hocks in a us12 ds if anyones keen?

[kinglew619]

im currently looking for brown size 12 fbt shamans

[xdrift]

track: im a us13 in nike.. and a vis 12 fits me fine homie..

youll be ok, the quality of leather they use gives and as far as im concerned, the tighter the shape the better so the shoe can actually mould to your fit, as with all fitted leather gear, its better to go a little tighter to let the leather shape to your body.

if its too loose itll never change.

but yeah either way its always going to be comfortable.

i just went to union today and copped black logans too, damn lol

and get this shit... i said to one of the dudes in union yo let me hit uniqlo and come back while i decide if i want the logans or not, so i let him peep the sports illustrated swimsuit edition magazine i just grabbed on my way over there. when i come back he hooks them up for 20% off haha

[FailBot]

Yeah, The dudes at union are cool as hell. I don't know why people say that have poor customer service.

[chaobro]

just picked up a pair of shitty polke pigments for like 40 bucks...

I see why there are little to no release info online lol.

[ReZ]

are there any stores in the bay area that carry visvim? other than huf
nope

[rebber]

the new lhamos are way over priced...

[Eugene K.]

Japanese retail is the same as before? It's the strong JPY that's fucking things up for everybody else outside of Japan.

[traCk.]

just for my own curiosity, does anyone know all the official US stores that carry visvim? i can only think of union ny/la and huf

[ETW]

My visvim catalog says

canvas-la
concepts-boston
huf-sf
huf-sf
leilow-honolulu
union-ny
union-la

also goodfoot and nomad in canada

[FFF]

Anyone know where I can cop a pair of Cowans in an 8? I wear a 9 in vans and llahmos so I'm assuming i need an 8. Also looking for nez pierce or mayan kiefers.

[WAJ2]

does anyone know what US stores are getting the new fbt "lattice"?

[traCk.]

waj2 i know my man man at unionNY said they would get them. and im gunna head in to cop the blacks so if youre interested i could possibly do a pickup for you. ill let you know retail, and i should be checking that shit out tomorrow

[Negi]

imo im not very keen on the new fbts, mostly because of i really prefer their elk leather, its just that good and comfy.

the fbt elks were the best, nice details with beads too, didnt manage to cop them. the nez perce was hot too.

this season i opted for the navy gabo instead, very soft elk leather, very comfortable fit, cute little flap at the back makes for conversation pieces. if there were a red fbt in elk i would cop it without batting an eyelid though.

the logan lattices i saw in fil tokyo were good. pretty and helpful salesgirl too! &)

Gotta agree, something bout the new lattice FBTs i don't like.

Logan Lattices are a while lot nicer in person...thank god for them having a 12 @ FIL Tokyo.

I'm into my 12th pair of visvim. They are MAD comfortable! 8)
My favorite so far for daily wear is probably their older pair - G Reservation

I am selling a few pairs. If anyone is interested, check this link, all the info is in there:

Visvim Ancestors, brown, 11, DS
Visvim Hockney, black, 11, worn 4-5x
Visvim G-Reservation, white, 11, worn 15x/+
Visvim G-kiefer 2-tone, blk/sand, 11, worn 2-3x
Visvim Logan Mid, black, 11 worn 15x/+

^damn man, id be coppin if those were size 12. good shit

[botfc]

^damn man, id be coppin if those were size 12. good shit

I am a true 12 and have been wearing all of them. G-res/ancestor/logan mid have all been know to run big (.5 higher at least).

Hockneys without insoles is doable but its actually the width that is my issue

[karl winslow]

And to be honest traCk, the reservations ^ this man sold me actually fit bigger than my shamans. Word life, cop from this man. I would be copping his white reservations if the dough was flowing right now.

[traCk.]

lol i feel you guys, but ive gotten "sizing advice" in this thread like 6 times. i own 4 pairs of visvim currently and have sold off 2. my true foot size is like a 13 1/2 so i cant really fuck with 11s. i appreciate the looks though i know yall just trying to help 8)

edit: but those ancestors look sooooo fucking good

[Yom]

yeah, i wear us12 in nike's and i got a pair of FBT 2tone in US11 and my big toe was squashed for about the first 2 wears, but after that they stretched out and fit perfectly now.

but 13 1/2 is pushing an 11 i think!

[traCk.]

i know the ancestors run larger than most fbt's or at least ive been told so by numerous people. if i decided to cop them and take out the insole (assuming they have one) would a potential squeeze be possible? im rocking my logans now with no insole (size 12) and they fit beyond comfortably. honest answers and opinions please
edit: just noticed you must have sold yours, but still could use help with my question haha

[ETW]

botfc I dont see the brown ancestors or black logan mids in your listing. Are they still available?

I am a true 12 and ancestors with the insole were really nice..but bc they were fitting so well, I never tried to take out the insole, so I am not sure you can do it or not. I imagine that you can since all the Vis that came out then did have removable insoles. Hope this helps

[botfc]

Yeah, both pairs have been sold, sorry.

Was it used condition? Concept shop is known for having very used products which look almost nothing like the pictures on their website. I'd suggest emailing them ASAP with pictures.

Size 10 preferred but will consider anything and any condition

[DAVIDZ]

they fit really good. i have wide feet to the leather stretched out just a tad bit but they are super comfortable. you should def buy a pair, yes are very expensive but it's worth it.

[Brivia Sky]

[taylorludwick]

Cool so now i know about sizing, but where can someone in the us cop some visvims online?

[Benny Lava]

There aren't many webstores that sell visvim online. And if they do, you usually have to email to see what they have and order that way.

Copped a pair of FBT Shamans in Tiger Camo today. Hopefully they fit. I bought a size 9 and I wear 10.

[BackLike45']

i want a snug fit in lhamos or shamans and i usually wear a 8-8.5 in vans for a snug fit. will i be safe going with a 9.5, or should i gold dig for an 8?

edit: my main concern is looking like i have clown feet if i get the 9.5s

[karl winslow]

Why wouldn't you get 9's? Just go with the 8, especially if you want them snug because they will eventually stretch to your foot...

[BackLike45']

the marketplace only has 9.5s in the ones i was interested in. i guess i will wait till i come across some 8s. thanks for the help.

[Gmas]

Copped a pair of FBT Shamans in Tiger Camo today. Hopefully they fit. I bought a size 9 and I wear 10.
A 9 should fit perfect in those. I'm a 10 in most shoes as well and a 9 in the FBT's is bang on.

Since a couple people asked again on this page with regard to sizing:

FBT's - Full size down
Shaman's - True to size

I wear a 10 in Shaman's and a 9 in FBT's. For reference, most other shoes I wear a 10...the odd time a 9.5

oh yeah and a heads up for the NY heads. UNION still has lattice logans in red purple and black, gabos in navy, black and white, skagways, and the fbts in all colorways.
however on a really shitty note, after the next shipment of visvim, which will be the logan deck lo's in black and navy, they will no longer be carrying vis at all. getting too pricy for them to sell

got brown 7 holes on the way
