Okay, so I’ve been getting a lot of questions about Coco Gauff’s shoes lately, specifically about the sizing. So, I decided to do a little digging and testing myself, and here’s what I found out.
My Quest for the Perfect Fit
First, I started by looking around online. I checked a few forums and some reviews, but honestly, it was all pretty mixed. Some people said they run true to size, others said go half a size up… it was a mess!
So, I decided to take matters into my own hands. I usually wear a size 8 in most sneakers. I went to a local store that had the New Balance Coco CG1s (that’s the model she wears, in case you didn’t know).
The In-Store Experiment
I grabbed a size 8 and slipped them on. My initial impression? A little snug, especially around the toes. I walked around the store a bit, did some quick side-to-side movements, you know, like I was actually playing tennis (even though I’m terrible at it!).
Then, I tried a size 8.5. Ah, much better! There was enough room in the toe box, and my foot didn’t feel cramped. I could still feel the support, but it wasn’t suffocating. It is feel good.
My Final Verdict
Based on my little experiment, and comparing it to what some other people said online, I’d say this:
- If you have narrow feet, you might be okay with your usual size.
- If you have wider feet, or you like a little extra room, definitely go half a size up.
The most important thing is to be comfortble, I recommend everyone go to store to try before buy, and do my experiment to test yourself.
And, just do test by * this helps some of you out there! Let me know if you have any other questions!
