No secret that tresbien is amongst cheapest EU retailers, particularly since 10% vouchers off are dime a dozen.

Currently Tres Bien is a price match with END for Common Projects on all styles give or take £1 (promotional codes excluded).

Alright this has gone completely into (incorrectly) nitpicking grammar... before going any further off topic, fransboone sells CPs for roughly 280 euro ex-VAT, cheaper than END in my experience.

END also offer VAT free purchases on all their goods for item shipped outside of the EU. They are the same price as fransboone on a like for like basis on CPs (340 Euros = £290). The difference is the Netherland VAT rate is 21% as opposed to the UK VAT rate of 20%, which makes the fransboone price marginally cheaper by approximately a couple of Euros; however it's not as clear-cut as that. fransboone shipping rate for a pair of CPs to NYC is £22.86, END on the other hand offer free shipping on a pair of CPs (or any order over $250) by FEDEX Priority Service. Once you take shipping into the equation END are hands down cheaper than fransboone.

Do you want me to highlight some of this in bold for you?

Nope.
End charges US orders in US$. They have a separate US price for everything which is higher than the UK prices without VAT.
For CP, End prices are about the same as US retailers.
Tres-Bien, Kafka, etc are going to be cheaper for US customers.
I've bolded some of that for you.

Well if that is the case their VAT free policy is somewhat misleading if they are increasing the price of the goods for US based customers.

Here's END's VAT free policy with no mention of an increase in the base price:

Do you offer a VAT discount to non EU customers?

Yes, if you're shipping destination is a non EU destination then our prices already have VAT removed.

However END do offer a price match policy:

He's right about END. The US prices are def higher in comparison to EU,JPand UK prices. I put the Yen prices in to a converter and it's close to 100 dollars less than the US dollar price that end charges us Yanks. **** those guys.

[Matty123]

anybody have any size 43 Achilles black hi or low they are looking to unload? Ive been on grailed and people dont respond to offers or if shoes are still available. thanks

 

[Dingusberry]

Does anyone know how women's CPs fit? Can guys wear them, or would it be obvious that I am wearing women shoes?

Look the same, fit the same, but obviously women CPs range of sizing is different to men's. I believe it is a marketing distinction only.

Good to hear. Women in my area are selling women CPs at heavy discount, so I might try them on before buying them.
My size is right on the edge, so I could both wear men's and women's CP.

I'd like to see Carta and Grey side by side, if anyone has input on the difference in person, lmk

 

[Pitman]

Here's the best pic of the "Carta" colorway I could find:

 

[Qudi]

I got a pair of the Combat Boots with the light rubber sole and black pull tab from years ago. Length is perfect but they way tighter than my CP sneakers. Does anyone know if the width will stretch with wear? Doesn't seem like a good idea to try to stretch this kind of leather at a cobbler...

 

[Roygbivuxg]

^wont stretch, time to sell :/ It is not uncommon for people (myself included) to need to size up on the non-sneaker CP offerings.

Carta is a dope color, just as easy to wear as light grey.

@Matty123 Hope you mean lows or mids, highs are rather meh (and I own a pair). PM'ed you.
