Thinking about upgrading to CPs. But I need sizing help. I take US7 in lacoste, US7.5 in nike/adidas. I wouldn't say my feet are "narrow". What's my CP size? maybe 40 in cps?

thanks.

I wear an 8 in Nikes but I did 7.5 for a while until I decided they were a bit tight and size 40 CPs fit me well and 39s were too small. You could always just get 40s and put an insole in there. 39s are seriously limited in availability anyway.

Is the premium achilles padded significantly? I tried on a 39, which felt okay in length but snug in width. Looking to pick up regular achilles, not sure whether to go 39 or 40. (40 in MMM Gats)

I managed to get a good price on 39s off b&s, so I'll see how those are. It will be my first experience with CPs.


And curious, anyone with experience with the premium achilles tell me how it is compared to the non-premium versions?

Has anyone tried on the new bballs?
My old ones were tighter on my toes compared to my achilles so I'm wondering if maybe they've tweaked them since then

They fit exactly the same. I bought a pair of the new vintage ones and then 2 weeks later a pair of unworn OG balls came up for 1/3 of the price so I bought those too. Sold the vintage as the all white looks better in my opinion.
