Frequently Asked Questions
Do Nike Dunks run big or small?
Nike Dunks run true to size but slightly narrow. Most people should go TTS, but those with wide feet often prefer going up half a size. The leather upper doesn't stretch much, so initial fit is important. Dunk Lows and Highs fit the same, while SB Dunks are slightly roomier due to extra padding.
What is the difference between Dunk and SB Dunk sizing?
SB Dunks have extra padding (tongue and collar) for skateboarding, making them fit snugger and slightly smaller than regular Dunks. If you're between sizes, go half size up in SB Dunks. Regular Dunks have thinner padding and more true-to-size fit. The footbed and length are identical, but SB padding reduces internal volume.
Are Dunks good for wide feet?
Dunks are average for wide feet - not ideal but wearable. The narrow toe box can feel tight for wide feet. Options: go half size up for more room (may cause heel slip), or look for canvas/suede versions that stretch more than leather. SB Dunks are slightly worse for wide feet due to extra padding. Jordan 1s are better for wide feet.
How do Dunks compare to Jordan 1 sizing?
Dunks and Jordan 1s are very similar in sizing - both are TTS. However, Jordan 1s have a roomier toe box and are more accommodating for wide feet. If your Jordan 1s fit perfectly, go same size in Dunks. If Jordan 1s feel slightly loose, stick with same size in Dunks (they'll fit snugger). Dunks run about 10% narrower.
Should I size up in Dunks?
Size up half a size if: you have wide feet, you're between sizes, you prefer a roomier fit, or you plan to wear thick socks. Stay true to size if: you have narrow to normal feet, your Jordan 1s fit perfectly, or you want a snug locked-in feel. Never go full size up - the shoe will look too long on foot.
