The leather for the shelltoes is different from the Achilles - it's a slightly waxy leather. I have a pair of hightops in black (wearing them now, actually), and honestly, the greys, which are everywhere, are slightly cooler, unless you are really wedded to black chuck-a-likes. The navy, or, more aptly, midnight, are a really deep blue that looks rich. I figure that if I'm going to be the asshole that wears leather Chucks that cost 10x as much as actual Chucks, that I may as well mix up the colors a bit.

They're also way less comfortable than normal achilies. I have a pair of the grey captoe, and they are hard and quite uncomfortable. Not sure if they break in, since they've been at the back of my closet after the 1 time I wore them. Normal achilies are some of the most comfortable shoes I own though.

You guys do realize it's only for on sale items right? So the CPs left now aren't included.

once you enter the code, its saved so all sale prices shown are reflective of the sale+20% code

^^^ This.


I placed an order with them two days ago, and this was the explanation they gave me after I emailed them about it.

thanks for the code. Picked up both pairs for under $500 shipped. Do Norse Store orders typically get hit with customs?
