Question about shoes....

Both Here and There
So I have bad feet... it is part genetics but mostly because I crushed my left one into a bag of marbles in a car wreck 18 years ago. The Braindead shoe "looks" comfortable and heavy which I would hope equals stability since my balance is not 100% due to years of surgeries.

As far as shoes go I have required a wide shoe and I wear a 12 in most standard shoes but some brands such as Keen I have to have a 12.5 to 13 and Nike are too narrow in most models. I fit skechers and Kenetrek and even Brooks very well and they are true to size at 12.

With that info how does the BD shoe fit? Is it true to size or do you find you need to order a half or whole size larger like I do with Keen? Are they narrow and tight on the side or do they fit a wide scarred up foot? What other quirks should I consider while ordering my first pair?

How is the comfort compared to skechers which is my current comfortable favorite to wear despite trying out $3-500 shoes that were not as spongy and cozy?

I just want to avoid a $200 mistake if these shoes do not give me my special needs which are to be super comfy with no real pressure and size specs. Give me your thought....
 
I'd say they fit true to size. I am in the same sizing group as you. Typically need a 12.5 or 13 in a Nike depending on the model.
I have a new unworn Oakley Brain Dead Factory Team Flesh Sandal Iron Brown Dark Grey Men's Size 12. Happy to send them for you to try.
Just pay the shipping, and if it doesn't fit then send them back.
 
For anyone who owns the Braindead Paguro foam sandals. Are they comfortable? Would you recommend them? Also, I see it only goes up to size 11. If I’m a size 12 would it still fit me?
 
Ok cool, are they comfortable?
It's my daily wearer

Bought into a pair of Abex... Well... they LOOK awesome but upon close inspection I see allot of glue was used to assemble which I predict would not hold up well if gotten wet allot or exposed to elements. The insoles began to burn my feet within a hour (a condition caused by massive nerve damage and a great indicator for me the insoles suck). I am going to slip in some new insoles and give them another whirl next time I go out and dress to match them. See if that helps... For now though... back to my Skechers.
