Yes I need to know also. Anyone?

I picked up the FW13 Black Leather Slip-On's. I'm a size 11.5 in new balance, sebago, Converse. I also wore size 44 for the CP suede chukkas. I picked up 44 for the slip-ons. They run small, especially in the toe box. They fit perfect, other than the top of the toe box needing some time to break in. I'm not sure how the Spring/Summer run, but my guess is the same. I didn't size down, I stuck with my regular size 11/44, anything smaller would've been crazy.

How's sizing for the Derby Shines? Size down 1 like the achilles lows?

(My achilles lows are in 44 and they're a bit tight around the toebox, but length-wise they're perfect. I'm afraid that if I go TTS and get a 45 it will be too long.)

I take a 44 in all cp's except the Achilles (which I no longer wear since 44's are too tight and 45's are too big).
My bballs are all 44's, my derbys are 44's, postmans are 44's, chukkas are 44's, combats are 44's.
Basically, the Achilles is the bastard of the group that fits super weird, everything else I take a size down from my regular shoe size (12 nike).

Anyone has already experienced the lining "bleeding" onto the socks?
This is currently happening with the suede achilles that I have and I don't recall having this issue with the other achilles leather version (though they are not the same color).

As they are still brand new, will it stop after some time or I'm condamned to have funny stains?
