Vapor X size to Solution Speed FF

Most people size down a half size in Asics from Nike as Asics shoes run a little long. I double sock so I don't have as much of a need to size down so I keep the same size (Asics Court ff2 US12 and Nike Vapor X US12) but I would suggest most folks take the half size down as I'm likely an anomaly.

I've been the same with both. Asics were a touch bigger but when I sized down they were a bit too snug.

The speed ff run true to size for me but when I've tried on the gel res they seem to be a half size big

I've noticed that before. A bit annoying.

Just to clarify, those are the sizes I have in both and also in the GR7 and GR8.
I have wide foot, high arch. All fit well.
The Speed FF2s are the most snug but still comfortable.
The Vapors are a bit long but width is ok, a bit tight at first. I always double sock.
GR8s fit the best.
I run half size or one size down for ASICS Compared to Nike. The solution speed are nice shoes. Very light and I find way more supportive than the Vapor X. However, the ASICS takes a few wears to break in. I’ve had friends that hate them because of this. They are my fav ASICS shoes so far, I have yet to try the court FF2 (djoker‘s shoes) they are in the box. Next shoes to try after my ASICS challengers wear out - which is gonna be soon

@JackB1 was looking for an advice for a cheaper alternative of the Gel Res.
Maybe you can help him with your impression from the Challengers.
I wouldn’t recommend the challengers. It just doesn’t feel very supportive. Both on side movement and on forefoot impact. I’m only 58kg and I still feel the gel isn’t cushioning enough. My mate went through his challengers quickly too, I think he’s 70-80kg. He had holes through his forefoot soles
