Yeezy AQ-01 Reviews From Owners
“the website says to size down. I am a 10 so I got a 9 and there is no wiggle room but they are comfortable. perhaps with thinner socks there would be some room. they look ok. like bike racer shoes. there is an insole like the SL-03, the box came inside another box so there wasn’t too much damage to the AQ-01 box. I’ll post fit pics later.” original post
“Finally got these in hand and they look and feel a lot better than SL-02 for sure. Took about 8 business days from when I ordered to get to me, delivered by GOFO Express.
I went with my TTS 11 and it fits like a glove, not too tight not too loose. Half sizes would probably have to go down to the nearest full size or suffer loose fitting shoes. The feel is more rubbery than the EVA foam shoes but lightweight still. The inner has a thin fabric lining so you don’t see through the side holes and your socks don’t grab onto the sides as much, easy to slip on. There’s a pretty sizable cushiony insole that makes walking in them nice and comfortable, without they feel very thin under foot though I have t tried walking with these outside yet. There is an inner sizing tag sticker that will probably wear or fall off really quick once you do start wearing these outside.
Overall these came out better than I expected with a more premium feel than the previous foam shoes.” original post
Review Highlights:
Build Quality & Feel
- Significant improvement over the previous model (SL-02).
- Features a more “premium” feel compared to standard foam footwear.
- The material is more rubbery than EVA foam but remains lightweight.
- Includes a thin fabric lining inside to prevent socks from sticking and to cover the side holes.
Sizing & Fit
- Yeezy Official website recommend to size down
- True to Size (TTS) can fit: Fits perfectly (“like a glove”) for those wearing full sizes.
- Recommendation for Half-Sizes: It is advised to size down to the nearest full size to avoid a loose fit.
- Easy to slip on and off.
Comfort & Performance
- Comes with a thick, “cushiony” insole that provides great comfort for walking.
- Note: Without the insole, the sole feels very thin.
- The internal sizing sticker is likely to fall off quickly with regular use.

Yeezy AQ-01 Sizing: How Do They Fit?
Yeezy officially recommends sizing down. However, as these reviews from current owners suggest, going true to size (TTS) also works. My advice is to stick with Yeezy’s official recommendation to be safe.
