I was looking at buying a pair... but with all this talk y'all are making me apprehensive. Is it still worth the money to buy a pair of white achilles lows? Or is there a better option?

As for sizing, and I'm sure this is asked a lot but I couldn't find it (probably blind), 9.5 US -> 42 CP?

i think their worth it, in here we will tend to go overboard in discussing things. these are still a very comfy and minimalist sneaker that you will be able to wear for a while. I've been beating mine up for the past year and they still feel and look great

if i am a true us size 13 will a 46 in common projects achilles low fit me comfortably? or is my longtime goal of obtaining a pair of common projects shattered due to my big feet?

46 would definitely fit, maybe even 45 depending on your foot shape

I think the consensus is to wait for end of season sales.

Has anyone seen a good photo of the upcoming Geller chelseas? There looks like there's a black suede one again but instead these have the black wedge sole instead of that weird angled heel. Sort of excited and ready to pay full price for those lol.

BTW, toasty's boots look great after they've been dyed. I still want a pair myself, even at non sale price.

Seems about right. I'm a 8.5-9 and a 41 fits fine.
