Depends on the year the model was made, but as far as ones I've kept, I've been consistently a 45 in Achilles. I'm on my 4th pair.

12.5 C/D on the Brannock, low volume feet (because total volume is another factor, as well as instep height).

I only got my first Adidas recently, but I'm a 12 in the Stan Smith 80s and whatever anniversary pair they put out. Wear a lot of the bigger Alden lasts in 11D, but also have 12C, so.

Oh, and 12 for the Converse Allstar 70.

How do your converse fit compared to the Achillies?

How do your converse fit compared to the Achillies?

The Converse are a wider, higher volume shoe and probably a touch longer. Achilles are manufactured within the last couple years, I'm fairly sure.

That's really interesting. In my case, My converse chuck 70s in size 9 are the same length as my CPs in size 41 (US 8). That's why I was concerned that 42 might be too long and cause excessive heel slippage.

I guess they do line up about the same.

Except they're a whole size apart for me LOL
CPs are the most inconsistent shoes ever that I've seen in terms of sizing. I've heard people size down by 2 full sizes and it's not even tight for them, while others size up by a full size and some stay tts, which really confuses me. Obviously everyone's perception of fit is different and people's feet are also different. But still interesting how CPs are much more inconsistent than any other shoe in existence.

i've only ever sized down 1 if that helps and i've worn a wide variety of CPs

41

You must have narrow feet then, right?

i'd say so more than the average person. i do think a lot of the disucssion on CP sizing is folks having different preferences on how "tight" they like their sneakers. I could probably do a 42 if i wanted a looser fit but i like my sneakers to be a lil tighter..especially since i find my CPs stretched a bit

 

[troika]

My guys, we have to think critically...size down from what?

Alden at 8, achilles is 41, and nike in 9.5 is tts for dress shoes, sizing down 1 from the standard sneaker sizing. Most people size up on nikes by a half.

It's been like 10 years of these questions on this thread, and most of differences are just about not being clear about your starting point of dress shoes vs sneakers.
