I am confused. I wear an 11 in Chucks and Clarks DB. I thought I'd done my research correctly and needed a 45 in the Achilles Mid. Found a pair and they're definitely a size too long. Scored a pair in 44 a week later and they're a half-size too short. Am I missing something here? Seems to be a big jump in fit. I know the white mids are about a million years old and all, but they're kind of a "Mini-grail" for me and I really want 'em as a basic sneaker, instead of my 500th pair of beat up Chucks.

I wear Chucks in 10.5
What's my size for the Achilles? 43 or 44?
My foot is rather wide if that matters.

43 will be tight on you if you fit into it, go for a 44.

Do they make guy stuff in any smaller sizes? I want a plain achilles, not the summer one with the suede lining on the back...

It isn't suede.

Check revolve or tobi for plain white achilles.

If I'm normally a US10/UK9 then would CP's in a size 42 fit me ok? I've heard that they size large somewhere...

Their sizes are tough to compare to US, but I would say a 42 or 43. 43 probably wouldn't be too big, but if you plan on going sockless it may cause some blisters.

I am a US10 but have wider feet so I usually wear 10.5, but with CP I wear 43 with a perfect fit.

I need something unusual. If anyone could pick up a pair of the safari boots in olive nylon, or (and better yet) a pair of shelltoes (not captoes, but the shells), low being better, but highs are good as well, in either the beige/white or light grey suede, size 43, I'd be much obliged. You can't find those anymore...

the same here, but as I said I need cp achilles raw low in navy or black 41 but if they cost around $250, I'll cover shipping (I'm from Europe)

If it is a true sample sale, iirc, CP showroom samples are either size 43 or 42. I think they are actually 42, so we could both be SOL. You are not actually looking for something that unusual though, Those are current season.
