Asham sizing question

I'm looking to buy my first pair of curling shoes and need to order online from the asham store. Because of my location I can't try them on in person first and can't get a consensus on how their sizing runs and the sizing chart on their website is super confusing (it would put me 2 sizes smaller than my normal size!).

Anyway, sneakers like nike I'm often a 10 whereas dress shoes I am typically a 9. My inclination is to get a 9.5 but any help would be appreciated!

I just bought a pair 2 weeks ago (in store) and was told to try on half a size larger than normal shoe size. I almost could have went a full size up. They were the Freeze Ultralite shoes.

Those are the ones I'm looking at, how do you like them?

They are very comfortable. Tried 5 shoes total they felt the most like an athletic shoe. I'm enjoying them but getting used to the faster slider still.

I have a pair of Slam Pro and I bought a 9 as I wear a 9. I wish I had bought a size down. Mine stretched like crazy and are almost too big now. Just my pov.

Are those leather or synthetic material?

Full leather upper.

Don’t forget about the socks, you probably don’t wear the thicker warm ones with dress shoes…?

Pretty true to size.

I would call and ask about the particular shoe. The ones I have run a full size smaller.

Depends on what shoe you're looking at getting. I bought the helix fly-knit ultralite mens shoe in a mens 10, and I usually wear a 10/10.5 and they fit fine wearing generic everyday socks

Adult sizes and kids have been all pretty true to size except for junior size 2 and adult 8. For some reason they’ve all needed to size up but my audience is kids with growing feet.

I ordered Asham a couple months ago. I normally wear a 12 or a 13. With their sizing chart and measuring my foot, it was still unclear. I didn't want to have to return, so I ordered the 13. It is definitely on the larger size. I added a thicker insole and wear thicker socks to adjust, but I would order a 12 next time. So, for my experience, they do run a little large.

I wear a size 9 normal width street shoe and Asham Club Ultra Lite size 9s are a perfect fit.
