How do the new five/ten projects size up to the dragons ?Do they run bigger small or the same?

I wear 10.5 dragons. I sized the projects at 8.5. The heel on the project is not as deep/pointy as the dragons, so it really sucks onto the heel and there is not the dead space in the heel as on most FiveTens. Also the toes fit a little differently, more flat-like than the knuckling of the Dragons.

The Dragons are actually sized very different from other Five Tens. For what ever reason they were sized way too high for what they actually are. My dragons were a 10.5, so that's what I tried with these. But when I put them on they were way too big. I'd say go at least a full size smaller than the dragons. If you're asking about the older velcro dragons however, I have no idea. Also, remember that the Projects are leather which will streatch more than the synthetic Dragons.

They'll be a fair bit tighter.
