They recommend going down a size. I'm a US 10D and their size 42 fits me perfect.


Thanks. How do they compare in quality / fit to the CP Achilles? (I'm a 43 in CP so presumably I would get the same size for these?)
Tempted giving the black pair a go as an alternative at that price.

Seems like they seem to be very similar from this review. Also, they use the same margom sole so they should have the same sizing. Also applies to the gustin low top where it also uses the margom sole and has the same sizing.

Nah quality doesn't compare. It looks similar, and would seem similar on paper, but having gotten a pair (about 2 years ago) for $125, I would have paid about $100 more for Achilles (sale price of course). The leather quality for Svenssons isn't something to write home about. Vastly sub-par to the butteriness of CPs
Yeah, it's Made in Italy and has a Margom sole, but if I've ever learned anything from years of buying jawns is to always go for the real deal.
Would not buy Svenssons again.

I've never owned a CP Achilles so I can't compare but the Svensson is comfortable and worth the money.

sneakersnstuff has 25% off if you buy two sale items. Aged Stan Smifs come out to $158 if you buy two. Most sizes in white are gone.

+1 on all points. they are a lot chunkier than CPs.

Huh, that's interesting. Quite a shame I guess. Once again my wait for the real thing continues.

Is there a good way to track the next Mr. Porter price drop? It will likely happen this Monday in the early morning right?
