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.

I first learned of – and began coveting – Common Projects almost exactly 20 years ago.



I need to lay down.

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
You're right
That's what I've noticed too

I don't know if that's always true though. I sized down in my Nike Air Force 1's by half and in other models stayed tts (9.5). But maybe I'm wrong and that's not my real true size.

Hi everyone, I have never owned a pair of CPs but am interested (about 15 years late lol).
Could someone help with sizing with the slip on style?

I wear:
11 in chucks (normal version, not 70s version)
11.5 in Nikes
10.5E-11 in most dress shoes

Any help is appreciated!

Order a 43 if your feet are narrow, a 44 if they're thick. Prepare to return.

Hi everyone, I'm interested in getting the Achilles low. I wear a US7 in Vans and AF1s and have average width feet, should I get EU38 or EU39? I got the EU40 and was too long :(
