yep that's it exactly... like that for me as well. I still haven't figured out how to tweak the way I wear them to compensate for / de-emphasize the weirdness of the cut in the upper.

^^only way i could wear the highs was to tie the top part extremely tight, looks bad when the bottom half is normal and the top is pulled so tightly together, im just stickign with the lows

They fit a bit smaller than the usual CP shoes, though, hence....

Now I am not sure about my sizing. I own sneakers and a pair of the suede red brick sole dress shoes in the same size. The dress show is a bit shorter, but both are my correct size since the sneakers have a touch more room in the toe. Wondering if I would need a size up.

On another note, I recently picked up the warm grey premium achilles and must say, I really like them.

Achilles Mid Size = Achilles Low Size? (/Tournament/other Low CPs)

 

I heard they're longer?  

 

Also I feel you guys on the huge amount of space in the ankles for high tops on the CP sole, its like that for my W+H high tops too

So some smoothie fell on my black CP's today and I decided to clean them when I got home.

I used a can of Penguin Instant Sneaker Cleaner, I have had this same bottle for years, and I noticed that some of the black paint came off on my cloth. Does that mean I should not be cleaning them with this cleaner or is this normal?

Do you guys clean your shoes or just let them get dirty? Any recommendations for a cleaner?

^ check the ingredients. I'm not familiar with that product but I suspect it may have some kind of chemical/solvent in it. I always just use warm water and diluted dishwashing liquid and if the edges of the soles are dirty sometimes I've used an old toothbrush and toothpaste. always worked for me nod[1].gif

afterwards you can apply some leather conditioner if you're concerned about it getting dried out or anything
