Common Sizing Mistakes
- Carrying YEEZY 350 V2 sizing over directly. YEEZY 350 V2 runs about half a size larger in number. If you wear YEEZY 350 in 10, take Mid Skool '77 in 9.5.
- Assuming Chuck Taylor fits the same as Mid Skool '77. Chuck Ox runs about half a size smaller in number. If you wear Chuck in 9.5, take Mid Skool '77 in 10.
- Thinking the mid-top cut of Mid Skool '77 changes sizing vs Vans low-tops. The collar height doesn't affect length. Mid Skool '77, Old Skool, and Authentic all round to the same size in the Feetlot model.
How Feetlot Computes These Numbers
Every Vans Mid Skool '77 sizing recommendation on Feetlot is the output of a global offset model fit to over 100,000 owner-reported shoe records. Each shoe gets a single number — its "size offset" — that captures how its sizing drifts relative to a reference shoe (the Nike Air Force 1). The result: sizing advice that holds up no matter how unusual a wardrobe is.
