Pick them up before they sell out on sale. They look the same as the regular Achilles just with a colored sole and lining. I picked up a pair from Steven Alan. What is the sale price at Kafka?

Ended up costing me 270 or 260 I think. Steven Alan had them for a lot cheaper, can't believe I missed that

Yeah, SA was less, but sub $300 for white Achilles is good relative value in the market.

SA had white achilles for just under $200. Can't believe I missed out. Since I became more active on SF, I stopped checking reddit FMF but it was posted there and not here.

Those cork lookin sole things are awful.

Also not a fan of this "luxe" business. If I wanted shiny shoes I'd get lanvin cap toes.

Just no love from me for the next season stuff haha.

Tournament fit a little larger than standard Achilles?

 

[bry2000]

Yep

 

[ike_hiking_boots]

Thanks. I sized down on this order, last time I went with the same size as my Achilles but had to return.

Good pricing at Mr P UK for the leather Achilles Retros - leather and suede versions.

Can anybody input me on the robert geller chelseas? They look dope and I'm thinking of copping them. The sizing is the same with regular cp chelseas though right? If it is, since my feet are a bit wide, should I still take a size down?

I have a pair and am a big fan, they look great (and IMO better than regular CPs, plus I like the proper leather sole). Same sizing as original Achilles.

currently offered or have been available?

currently / mainline? just trying to narrow my choices down. white looks good, but blinding, hence leaning towards carta.

doesn't look like the mainline entries are ever discounted tho? or do i just need to be vigilant? 410 is pretty steep when everything else can be had for around 250...

So you guys weren't kidding when you said that Chelseas are narrow. I got a pair in last night and I can feel my toes can feel the sides of the boots. I don't think I'd want to size up cause my ankle would slip.

I bought the same size I wear for combats and Achilles. Do these loosen up after wearing for a while? Mine are suede.
