OK, I think so too, better a bit loose than tight. I can always wear thick socks.

How much is the maximum do you think I should pay for these?

Worn twice, the seller says.

Thanks again!

Do you think I can get along ok with a pair of 43? Or should i wait for someone who's selling a 42? FYI 9.5 Sperry fits pretty snug but still comfortable and 9 UK Clarks DB are pretty relaxed (about 0.5" of toe room). Now feetlot.com says that CP's sizing is the same as Clarks and 0.5 bigger than Sperry. And how often does a used pair of grey low CP put up on sale? Anyone's response is really appreciated because the auction ends in 24 hours. Thanks!

i wear a 10.5/11, mostly 11, and wear a 44 but i would wear a 43 if they werent too snug. my 44's are a little long, but the 43 was just too tight. i dont have particularly wide feet but achilles are quite narrow. i wear a 43 in almost all my other CPs.

I see, so the achilles is indeed a bit smaller than the other models. Thanks for the info, mate.

Do you think 140 GBP is a reasonable price for a pair of pre-owned but like new achilles?

the suede achilles fit slightly larger than leather ones

I purchased a pair of the Achilles Low Suede in Grey from Ssense this past winter and I've only been wearing them for a few months (just walking no running around in them) and now and have a tear near the lace inlets. I bought CPs because they're known for their quality but this was pretty disappointing.
Does anyone know how I should go about repairing/replacing these? Should I contact ssense? or common projects directly? I've sent the main common projects email address from their site an email already and haven't gotten a response back yet. Anyone else experience this with the suede cps?

Those shoes look ******* trashed.

They're a full suede shoe and won't wear like a full leather.

 

[tropics]

yeah looks like you beat the hell out of those things. just walking for a few months?

having said that, the suede should not just rip under normal use. i tried contacting CP directly about laces and also got no response. maybe try a local cobbler?

 

[London]

I've had those exact same shoes and mine have held up perfectly. What the hell did you do to your shoes? You have to rotate them man.

 

[dan138zig]

Do the Achilles low suedes look good sockless with jeans?

 

[momentoftruth]

yes but they'll make your feet sweat due to the padding

 

[tonio028]

No show socks fellas, c'mon...

Is my Tournament low size the same as my Achilles Hi size? I'm a 45 in the Achilles and 44 in the desert chukka, FYI. No width issues. Thanks in advance CP gurus!

 

[tjonesd2]

12E brannock-- should I go with 45 or 46?

 

[BlackToothedGrin]

if you're an e width, the achilles may not fit you well. 45 will be too narrow. You could try 46

This question has been asked many times before but I'm new here so bear with me.
I'm a sz US 10 in most shoes(Nike, Adidas, Vans) so would I size down to an EU 42?
