it's the researching and comparing and advice-seeking that introduces doubt

No it's more that exposing yourself to lots of different options gives you comparisons to make after the fact. "But what if I had bough that shirt instead?" etc. There's pretty overwhelming evidence that human beings are really bad at rationally explaining/understanding their preferences/desires. Most studies illustrate that the more rational people try to become in making purchasing decisions, the worse their satisfaction ultimately is with their choice, and they even make the objectively wrong decision more often. Basically information and choice isn't always a good thing. Often the best thing is to have a relatively small selection in front of you and just make a call based on your gut.

hmmm.. both are diff but ive had the black mmm mids and i liked them (i sized em wrong so i sold them) the mmm might be more versatile than the washed cp's in my opinion. i saw a waywt pic of user slack tide and he wore the washed brawn cps with some olive w+h pants and a dark hoodie--looked great.

depends on the colour palette of your clothes i guess. for summer id go with white, fall go for the brown. by that time theyll be on sale

yeah, not for 480. 300-350 is pretty fair considering they are new.

in my experience they fit the same as mmm lows. i wear a 42 in lows and bought a 41 in mids and they were too tight. wouldve been perfect in a 42.

with regards to mmm vs cp sizing, cps fit a tad bigger and wider for sure. the consensus is to size up on mmm
