Common Projects F/W 12-13

[oldskl]

does anyone know what type of leather is used for common projects?

 

[raags]

Having a bit of an issue breaking in my new CP Vintage Lo's. They somehow (on my left foot) press down hard on part of my big toe whenever I walk, I think due to the leather in the toe cap folding and pressing down. Will this soften with time? It's extremely uncomfortable and quite painful, to the point where I don't actually I think I can wear them out at the moment.

 

[Feji]

It'll soften with some wear. Same thing happened to me with my GAT's, but now they're comfy after being broken in.

Anyone happen to know where I can find a pair of regular black mids in 41 inclusive of any sort of discount? These seem to sell out quickly, even at retail, so not getting my hopes up. Also, if anyone is selling these (in new or very good condition) please let me know

I'm sorry if you guys have already figured out your size on officer derby.

I'm a
US9.5 for most of the sneakers
US8.5 for Red Wing and Alden Indy.

I asked a question to HAVEN and I got a reply as below.
- Common Projects fit about a size big. Based on your information I would recommend wearing a size 8.5US or a size 41EUR.

^Would say that's spot on size advice. I sized down 1 on my cps and they fit well.

Sorry about this sizing question, but what size would I buy for the derbies and rec if i'm a US 8.5 with normal width feet?

Can anyone confirm that I am a 41EUR? Judging from some member's sizing advices, I feel more like 42EUR instead as I have relatively wider feet. Thanks for your help.

 

[raags]

I have relatively wide feet, and am a US9 in Nikes and a 41 fit me the best. It's too long at the toe but right for the width.

Thanks raags. I'm a half size larger than you so a 41EUR should be perfect then.

you're talking about the derbies not achilles right? I dont know how the derbies fit compared to achilles but I'm a US 9/9.5 in most sneakers (9 in vans, 9 in red wings, 9.5 adidas, 9.5/10 nike) and 42 achilles fit me perfectly. I don't have wide feet either. A lot of people on here seem to agree to size down on cps but theres also a lot of us who just go tts and it works fine. Please let us know how the derbies fit!

edit: also ime, nikes run .5 to 1 size large

 

[pasteurisation]

What? Now, I'm confused. Anyone else can compare to Derby to Archille in terms of sizing?

@Roygbivuxg , in what Red Wing are you a US9? I'm a US8.5 in moc toe & a US9 in plain toe though.
What about Nike? I'm a US9.5 in dunk(comfortable) and airmax(fitted). Thanks a lot for your help.

 

[Roygbivuxg]

Yeah i dont blame you...cp sizing is kinda strange. I have the redwing work chukka. The last pair of nikes I owned were a 9.5 or 10 spiridon about 8 years ago (but i have friends who size up on nike). My current runners are size 9 asics.

I've probably said this a few times in this thread, but in relation to the sneakers, it all depends.

Padded models vs non padded models + foot width.

Yes, the rule seems to be to size down 1, however if you have wide feet, I do not recommend this.

IMO, the same goes for the padded models like the Vintage.

For example, in the Tournament Low's (which are suede and not padded), I can wear a 41.

In the latest vintage models (and any others which are padded), I need a 42.

I wear a US9 generally, 8.5D Barrie and UK8 in dress shoes.

i've found luck with sense online a couple seasons ago, and sometimes nomad might cut you a little break in-shop.
