You can’t really base this on other people’s experience, since your foot and what you experience is gonna be different. I do own a pair of the Knu skools. They have the same flat fit as old skools on the bottom, but the difference is the fat tongue that makes it feel a little heavier. I have high arches, so I lace them really loose and it works with the padding. They are slightly wider in the front. Now I read something about popcush in the comments above. This might totally work for you, it doesn’t for me, cause of the high arches, the added heaviness and my feet feel better in the regular flat Vans bottoms.
