Slack: I got the white gums. Not even sure if they come in perforated. Regardless I'll let you know when they arrive.

All my CP's are 43's (thanks to my wide feet) but they're all a half inch too long and look a bit ridiculous in my opinion. For this batch, I ordered half in 42 and half in 43.

for the price, absolutely.

I'm just too hung up on the textured leather. Has anyone ever heard a stockist or CP state "textured leather" as a description for a perforated model?

I'd like the white with gum sole lows but just don't want perforated, dammit. In the picture they look like regular leather. grr



the patient lurkers sit quietly waiting to check B&S in 1.5 weeks :)


White gum lows are not perforated. I have those and they are killer for summer.

ysb linked me to some great lows in navy nubuck in size 46. 70% off or something, grabbed instantly. Much kudos to him for that.

Why buy shoes that in your opinion "look a bit ridiculous"?

For example, I am a true US size 9 (or EU 42). However, in CP's, I wear a EU 41 (or US size 8).

edit; i think i may have misunderstood your question, but will keep my answer above for other's reference.

Those are you favorite variation if I remember from past posts, right? I like those, but already have mid white perf achilles, white gum sole achilles, too much white! I really like the grey cap toes, favorite colorway in that style.
