When I first got my CP Achilles Low US8 I had to put gauze inside my socks between my 1st metatarsophalangeal joints and the shoe for 2 weeks. They've actually gradually become the most comfortable pair of shoe I have though. No problems with the heel. For reference, I've got wide-ish feet; and I've also got a Koio Capri US8, and Pureboost DPR US8.5s, and Pegasus 35 US 9s.
Can you put your thumb between the end of your big toe and the place where the leather ends (tip of the shoe)? Or are you really with your big toe completely at the tip of the shoe?
im a size 41 eu (8 us) in vans, i tried them on long time ago but didnt buy them and i noticed that my toes where really snug ( like there werent any space between my big toe and the next toe to it) in size 7 (40 eu) and when i walked the leather would press down on my big toe and you could see a big bump where my big toe is and that would make my big toe hurt alot. should i still buy them size 7 (40 eu) and walk in them to they break in? and where can you really notice where they break in? at the toes the sides where the toes are? or the heel?
Very useful insights bro! Appreciate the video. Quick question. I am size 8 on Chuck Taylors 70s low and have wide feet. What size should i go for these Achillies lows? Tks in advance
I never had the painful ankle problem on my common project and I've been wearing it for half a year now. The only pain I have is that heartache every time I'm wearing these and it rains. Anyways, to put the sizing in perspective, I'm a US 9.5 and size 41 fit me just right.
Hahah omggg that sounds so painful dude :'( Thanks for the sizing input as well -- I'm typically a US7-7.5 so getting the size 40 was def a stretch for me. With your sizes in perspective I think a size 38.5 might fit me better! Thanks for your input dude!
I got the same size Bennj and I‘m buying now a 41.. I was confused on Mr.Porter its stated as true to size and also to go a size up if you got a x.5 size
I’m a size 9 (US) in my chuck taylor all star classic low top & and a size 10 (US) in nike air force one low top. What size should I get for my common projects achilles low? Thanks in advance guys! God Bless!
All sneakers go down one size high tops as low tops in normal footwear. If you have really wide feet maybe you can stay true to your size in the sneaker collection but I have no experience from this myself so I always downsize 1 size. However Boots are true to size.
Congrats on the Off-white W!! Black or Pink? haha and yea the sizing is p hard to eyeball compared to other shoes, you live and learn tho, so at least I know what size to shoot for next time!
Ordered a pair of common projects from ssense also on black friday, haven't received mine yet from the Canada post strikes... fingers crossed, hopefully I ordered the right size.. I ordered one size down
That grey leather is actually the leather folded back on itself and it's raw to stop your heel from slipping so it's actually gonna stop blisters

I’m a size 10 should I go down to a size 9?
I normally wear IT43 for Gucci ACE and alexander mcqueen. So i can wear 43 for this one right
I have the same question. Gucci ace UK size9
Hello chen i wear Stan Smith US 7 so which size fit me???
I would suggest a size 38! I'm also a stan smith us7 and I think size 38 would be my best tts
Hello! So what size Common projects did you take for yourself?
im a size 41 eu (8 us) in vans, i tried them on long time ago but didnt buy them and i noticed that my toes where really snug ( like there werent any space between my big toe and the next toe to it) in size 7 (40 eu) and when i walked the leather would press down on my big toe and you could see a big bump where my big toe is and that would make my big toe hurt alot.
should i still buy them size 7 (40 eu) and walk in them to they break in? and where can you really notice where they break in? at the toes the sides where the toes are? or the heel?
YellowCookiexD good question. Do you more know by now?
Do they still hurt your toes? I have wide feet and don't like the squishing.
Did you end up getting a size 39? I’m the same as you in the Gucci Ace, I just wanted to get an idea on the sizing of these as well.
Best/easiest way to break in shoes is a pair of Shoe Trees, $20 for a pack of two on amazon👍

haha yeah, I've noticed that my foot fits weird for different brands, but thanks for the tip tho!
All those Designer shoes have a very weird sizing. Took today my first W on an Off-White Nike (the new Zoom Fly)
Congrats on the Off-white W!! Black or Pink? haha and yea the sizing is p hard to eyeball compared to other shoes, you live and learn tho, so at least I know what size to shoot for next time!
Kevin Chen got the pink one, but i think i will try to trade them for the Black ones maybe. Must look how the Colorway looks in hand.
Ordered a pair of common projects from ssense also on black friday, haven't received mine yet from the Canada post strikes... fingers crossed, hopefully I ordered the right size.. I ordered one size down
Fingers crossed dude!! I hope you get them soon bud :/ Yeah the sizing on this shoe was p crazy for me I hope it fits you well dude!
@@KevinChen Just thought I should update you, got them in today... they fit!! Very tiny bit big since I'm a half size, but I can work it with ^_^
@@myshoesnotyours OMGGG CONGRATS!!!! haha i'm happy for you dude! doya see what I mean by how the toebox is hella long outta nowhere? haha
@@KevinChen Yes! I think it makes the shoe seem slimmer/longer. I dig it!
@@myshoesnotyours Great to hear dude! I'm sure they look hella dope on u!!!
ever heard of Koio?
my CP's have been broken-in over a year and once every blue moon I still get painful heel bleeding on my left foot. U have been warned!!
Yikes! hahaha why must looking fashionable come at the cost of comfort :'(
heel pads are key
Oh and basic supply is a fra tion of the price
where are you from??
The US!
way231 no you’re from Hong Kong
Thank you!!
good stuf bro
