Been tempted by a set of these for a while, stumped on sizing though. Anyone know how they size up?

Ernie's are normal in my experience. Size 7 is size 7.

Yes... Yes I do have tiny feet

My Senenuk Pros in size 11 are spot on size-wise. (They're also labelled as US 12)

The last two pairs of shoes I have used are the Specialized 2Fo, current pair the sole is coming away, I need to replace. I like the 2Fo's because I like to move my feet around which I struggled to do in 5/10s.
Anyone have any comparisons?
Ta!

I have the culvert mids which look to have the same Michelin sole and can reposition my feet much easier than freeriders. They're still grippy enough though, pretty goldilocks to be fair.
Size wise, they're the same as my 5 10's, just a bit narrower.
Bargain for that money

I've worn Etnies for years and their sizing is as it should be be 9 is a 9. As above I also have some Semunuk ones and the sizing is just like all other Etnies.

The Jameson HTW looks like the perfect winter flat shoe, and only £40?

I'd recommend the Culvert Mids as one of the best UK weather flat pedal shoes for the money. Tie the laces up and stash them in the tongue pocket, then all you have to do is use the velcro strap when putting them on. I much prefer them to Freerider Elements (sole to thin, leak like a sieve) and the big biffer of a shoe, old version of Impacts. Those things suck up most of the trail, as well as all the water on it. Are a bit numb feeling on the pedal but grip like shit to a blanket. I reckon you could soak up a pond full of water with just one shoe!

AFAIK the Camber shoes have a less sticky Michelin sole than Culverts. The similar looking Semunuk's also have another different sole. Get the Culverts! I went 1/2 a size up and they are the best bike shoes I've had by some margin!
