The outsoles on both shoe models you are asking of is about an inch thick. The outsole thickness seems about the same to me on both the men's Fallen Patriot II shoe and the DC Shoes Court Graffik style.

Yes. The men's Fallen Patriot II shoe runs 'True to Size' which should seem 1/2 size bigger than the men's Fallen Seventy Six shoe model that we have stocked at the warehouse. So the 10.5 would be the better choice for the Fallen Patriot II.

Both tongues on the shoes in question seem about the same thickness, which is really 'fat'. If I had to say one of them was thicker, I guess it would be the men's DC Court style. But as I've stated, the tongue on the men's Fallen Patriot II shoe is pretty 'fat' as well.

We don't seem to have any stock left in the Trooper style if we did carry them, but I would think the Trooper design and the men's Fallen Patriot II shoe will have a very similar fit.
