Anybody spotted the training boots (in a 44) this season? It seems like either they were discontinued or nobody ordered any this season. I really wanted some black leather or green suede ones. #sadface

Cross-post since this thread is more active.

Anybody know where I can get high top Achilles for women? My girlfriend is looking for a pair. Google search didn't give much options. She's looking for colors other than black or white. Thanks.

couple people posted rips/tears in their suedes on the old thread...not uncommon it seems.


Any fixes? Thinking about just sowing them up, maybe throwing them out when they get too bad. I've had shoes cost 1/4th as much and last way longer.

Some of the guys in the old thread contacted the store they bought it from and got something out of it, iirc.

Can anyone speak to the width of the leather basketball highs vs leather achilles lows? Trying to decide on a 40 vs 41 in the leather basketballs highs. I'm a 41 in the achilles low due to the narrow width, but fit ok in a 40 in other models which are a little wider (for example FW13 vintage lows, SS14 mesh highs).

I'm a 44 in all CP's, including Achilles and Bball Hi's. The Bballs are definitely "roomier" and more comfortable and the Achilles definitely tighter in the toe.
Both of my Bballs are the suede though.

roomier makes me think i need the 40's. I'm a 41 in achilles low based purely on width, they are definitely too long and would be better in a 40 length wise but they work because they are so snug.

Bballs from 6 years ago are not the same fit as the current model. Size down for the current bballs, but I am not sure about the black low model from this season.
