Do Achilles mids fit likes lows? I have a pair of white mids coming. Bought the same size as I have in lows.
Nah they don't, mids are much bigger than lows, so you need to size down one for mids....just kidding ;P.

Real answer: Yes they fit more or less the same, the mids might be just a little bit bigger, (or maybe its just than I wear different socks for different shoes) but I have a few pairs of achilles low and achilles mids in the same size and colour and they fit fine. Enjoy!

For the Chelsea boots it's still recommended to one size down correct?

I'm a 43 in the Achilles and 44 in the Chelsea boot. I do wear an insole in the Chelsea boot though. Once had a 43 boot but had to sell because it was too small. Best to try on in store if possible, or at lease have free returns.

Being a bit bigger isn't an issue as long as they don't fit smaller. White mids for 160 euros shipped from farfetch seemed a nice price. I already have several pairs of lows. Ty.

I recommend getting powder blue lows. I've seen some great sale deals and they're pretty damn awesome.

Effectively, the same for me. I wear 42 in Achilles and 43 in the Chelsea boots. 43 is my normal size in European-sized shoes.

Hey guys, sorry to ask another sizing question, but do retro low suedes fit big compared to achilles (like regular leather retro lows)? I'm a 39 in Achilles lows and not sure if i should size down for retro low suedes. Thanks in advance!

just ordered a pair of womens classic black/white achilles lows from fwrd. however noticed the last 4 digits on the heel were 7506 as opposed to the 7547 ive been seeing on most the black/white pairs online. anyone know if there's any difference between the two or if fwrd just has an old stock image up?

Does anyone here have experiencing replacing the sole on the Achilles Low? My pair is pretty worn but I'm not sure how to go about and get a new sole put on. Any insight would be great!
