I have a sizing question.

I tried on some Achilles Lows and:

The 44 were too loose on heel but good every where else

43 fit ok, but were def tight on width and kinda uncomfy .

I usually wear a 10.5-11.5 in other shoes. I have wide variance cause my feet are wide.

seriously, if anybody has skied before will know, ill fitting too tight ski boots are the worst possible nightmare ever. So please if ever err on the side of being a little loose.

Never accept that BS that your shoes will mold into your feet unless u like some masochism.

Seller got back to my today, with more pictures of the grey Achilles. Person that message me assured me that it was being shipped from NJ. Hopefully these are the real thing

That is the beauty of the VAT deduction.

This is bad, bad advice.

Just speaking from my personal experience with both pairs of Achilles that I own.

For the uninitiated, the CP Achilles can be punishing and shockingly slim/tight. I have skinny Asian feet (EU40 in most shoes), and even I was worried about the width being too tight the first time I put a pair of EU39 on, but the length seemed right. Ordered a separate pair of 40s and the width was marginally better but the slight heel slip (even with insole) was too annoying.

Decided to go with the 39s and am glad I did, after 3 or 4 outings, the leather broke in nicely and is either no longer as constricting, or I've just gotten used to the shape.

Having said that, if you are trying on a pair and you can see the shape/leather of the shoe visibly distorting, pretty sure no amount of breaking in is going to make it more comfortable.
