  • whorishconsumer's guide was on point. Pointer, shorter and a little wider than CP at same size. They're ok but not a substitute CP or on a baller sneaker level. Which is ok since they can consistently be had for 120-150 shipping included.

Looking to trade a pair in offwhite/blue in size 44 for a 45. Would also sell the 44 for less than my cost if anyone is interested.

i've been eyeing some Zespas but I think I like the Saint Laurent SL/01 low tops better, they are double the cost though. Anyone have any input on if they're worth the extra $ in terms of style, looks, comfort?

I have an olive green pair of ZSP4s that I bought on discount over a year ago that have held up well. It's since been scuffed several times - I'll likely give them a polish when I get around to it.

I've noticed that my feet start hurting if I wear them for extended periods of time and have done a good amount of walking. Have anybody else had a similar experience?

Worth at $120 but nothing to get excited about; its just meh. Last year everyone wanted an alternative to overpriced CPs and this was kinda it.

I'm just happy to have been called a part of something.

I never found Zespas to be particularly comfortable (granted part of this was their sizing being too small for me). But CPs are also by no means comfortable, unabetted.
