Achilles White Low. I usually wear a 9US in most brands, 8.5 in Chucks. They are pretty tight in both length and width. I had to force them on..

I spray my CP achilles lows with all-weather spray and use a Mr.Clean Magic Eraser on the soles when they get dirty. I also use a product called Wearable Shoetrees to prevent excessive creasing. Some people think they look better dirty and beaten up but I disagree.

I suspected as such and called Yoox to verify to which they did. Thanks for confirming. Saved a friend of mine the hassle of a return.

Definitely don't settle on a color you're not happy with just because they're 50% off. It's still a decent amount of money you can do a lot with (see quoted text above for example) and find what you really want.

Yeah, WrongWeather has a bunch of them on Sale, not a massive size range but there down to around 140 euro.

Hope that helps...
