Yeah I'd just never heard of it before. Thanks though. Nomad is over like $700+ USD

 

[Pangolin]



Awesome, thank you.
Have you ever ordered from them before?

I have, they're good.

End has the winter combat boot as well, although they are cheaper at Antonia

and ive just this second seen them at Tres-Bien too http://tres-bien.com/common-projects/winter-combat-boots-black but a £70 price hike over Antonia for whatever reason.

 

[OccultaVexillum]

Dope. Ok well since they are all filtering in I guess I'll wait and hope that need supply get them.

I just ordered them from Tres Bien, $484 and we know shipping and customer service is tops

I've been waiting for them to make a combat with tread for so looooooong

 

[OccultaVexillum]

Yeah me too. Definitely let us know how they are. I will probably order them soon but I'd like to hear back from Need supply first.

lol, so sizing for the derby shines seems to be all over the place

fortunately, my local nordstroms had them on display last time i checked, though i don't know whether they'd have the 40 or 41 i'd need to try on

my achilles low in 40 fits snug (don't know my brannock size, but i'm pretty sure i'm a tts us 8), so based off of that, which size would you guys recommend if i could only go with one?


also, i've never really owned a formal-ish pair of shoes before (just sneakers and boots), but would the derby shine be a shoe that i'd need to take care of (e.g. polishing and/or whatever else)? would they just look awful if i neglected any kind of maintenance and just beat them in in your guys' opinions?

Go with a 41. I was in the same situation with my Achilles and the 41 was perfect. Keep in mind feet do swell from blood flow and get larger when walking. Even more so with leather shoes such as CP's that lack ventilation. Leather inside/outside, plus socks. I got 41's and they feel great. Nordstrom will allow you to return even if it's worn so that's most likely your best bet to make sure it wears as you'd like. Once you know your size, either return it and find it cheaper elsewhere, or use your confirms sizing in future purchases. Hope this helps, it made me love the shoes. The derby is patent leather which is highly reflective and will need more caution than CP's. Call Jason markk in Los Angeles, they have cleaned every shoe you can imagine.

RFT: Love my CP tournament lows (still going strong 3 or 4 years and counting) and achilles, but CP chelseas might be one of my least favorite purchases of the last couple years. I'll probably never buy another pair of crepe soled boots again. Time for another pair of SLP boots.

What didn't you like about them? How quickly the sole wore?

Looks like END has FW16 up. Not sure you can purchase. I'm on mobile and it wouldn't let me buy a couple sizes in a couple colors.

Yeah and the last kinda sucks.

any sizing advice for Wings+Horns hi-tops compared to CP Achilles? I'm a 43 in the lows and mids, and a 42 in the Bballs

I'm 41 for Wings + Horns hi-top and CP Achilles low.
