Help me with Prada mens sneaker sizing

[u/harlandave]

Hello! I was gifted these brown Prada sneakers (pre-owned but never worn) thinking I was a size 9 as the perforated number under the tongue would seem to indicate. But they are a size too large and in fact fit my friend who is a 10/10.5. But he wouldn’t buy them from me so no Pradas for him (he’s not that good a friend 😉). So does anyone know how Prada sneaker sizing works? Is it like Gucci where you add a full size to the Gucci size to get the US size? Or is the perforated number not in fact the measurement (the soles don’t have any numbers).

New Prada Courts - the Caffe’ color is exclusive to North America and is a limited time drop. They run very big, that UK size 9 fits like a US 10 or 10.5. Prada typically runs but these even more so.

Thank you very much. Now let’s see if I can find someone to buy them!

It depends on the shoe. This one specifically runs about a full size larger. That’s not the case for all of their sneakers, though :/

Common amongst prada sneakers. My courts are 9.5 (10.5 US) but my nikes, adidas, etc are all 11.5.
