I wear a 9 in nikes, 8 in converse and 41 in CP fits me well. They are pretty widely available, though the trick is to get them for less than retail.

I'm a size 10 in most stuff and I fit a 42. Slightly off topic the ankle boots fit huge as I wear a 41 in them. My advice is to try Cp on.

Yes I think for a MINIMAL shoe they are still the IT sneaker. Anybody know if they stretch much for the leather and the patent leather? 41 are a lil snug and the 42 just feel big

a little snug is fine, leather stretches a bit over time, as long as its barable. My suede adidas gazelle's which originally I thought were a nice, good fit (not tight at all) had not been worn for a month and I struggled to put them on and felt rather uncomfortable wearing them around, I thought my feet were going numb. But after a while they stretched back to their original size and they fit like before now.

If anyone's interested, I have both light grey and white achilles lows that I'm thinking of selling, size 45.
Both are in about 8.5/10 condition, if anyone's interested, PM me and I'll take some pics.

So I'm ready to pull the trigger on these. I'm looking for the Achilles Low in white, size 42. But I'm having a hard time finding them anywhere under $320. Revolve doesn't have them in my size. South Willard has them but I don't use Paypal (and never will). Any other vendors have these in stock, preferably under $320?

Bloomingdales carries CP? I had no idea. There's a Boomingdales just a few miles from my house, but I've never gone there. I doubt they'll have them though because it's smack in the middle of Suburbia.

oh yeah, you have to go to a bloomingdales in a metropolitan area like south coast. they have about 5 -6 styles at the south coast one right now:

navy blue suede and blue rubber sole
tan patent mid top
red patent mid top (this is very sweet, im very tempted to buy this one)
a few white low top ones on sale,
and a black one

I got this exact pair for $170 about two months ago, but I flipped it 'cause it didn't fit. Sorry
