So I bought a pair of the Vintage Achilles in green/white and the Vans looking ones in black and white. Both size 42... I might only keep one... so I might sell one of them on here for how much I paid.

****, been wanting a new pair of CPs and was even up in San Francisco today!

yes, please do. for some reason i do not like their current dress shoes models (a bit to casual for my taste) but i still may get a pair. i like some of the dress shoes they did last season and the season before much better.

Do you guys always do the 'straight across' lacing on your CPs? To be honest I alternate and sometimes lace up normally....I think it actually looks better on some models. Especially on my washed brown pair with the thinner laces.

I tried to at first, but eventually changed them all to cross lacing because I have awkward feet and skinny ankles so it makes them fit better and makes them easier to adjust.

Received a tracking number as well. However, FedEx has hit me up to complete a customs form for the sneakers. I have no idea on what to answer for some of the questions.

I think California oddly has different customs, I'm just lucky, or FedEx has dropped the ball repeatedly. I've ordered numerous times from Tres Bien, Our Legacy, numerous Canadian stores, Colette in Paris, Rakuten, Norse Projects, and UK shops. I have yet to be hit with customs or any kind of inquiry whatsoever.

Same...made 4-5 orders in the last 3 months from international stockists (France, UK, Canada, etc) and haven't heard a thing...in California. How quickly do you get hit by customs?
