  1. I tried running Skyrim on my PC yesterday, recommended it as medium settings but I couldn't even get it to run smooth on all the lowest settings. Guess I stick with 360...

    I'm not gonna even try and run it on my laptop... liking it on ps3 so far though.

  2. ^forgot to mention, this is for sizing cp achilles low. i don't have nearly as much experience with the other models to give a definitive answer, so your best bet is to ask, search around old threads, and use the sizing guide i linked.

  3. a rough sizing guide based on vans, as i figure that is a shoe that (almost) everyone on here would own. obviously everyone's feet are different but i would say this is a general rule of thumb. also, cp's are actually based on italian sizing and not generic EU sizing - they are very long and very narrow.

    US 8 in vans = CP 40.

    US 9 in vans = CP 41.

    US 10 in vans = CP 42.

    US 11 in vans = CP 43

    US 12 in vans = CP 44.

    US 13 in vans = CP 45.

    US 14 in vans = CP 46 (these are hard to find, but they exist).

    This is an accurate CP sizing chart. I could take an 8/8.5 (8.5 is more comfy) in vans and i'm a 40 in CPs. The only issue with this chart is that CPs run smaller once you get to a size 45/46, especially 46, since these are in italian sizing. People with size 13D feet can't fit into CPs well since a 46 is more like a US12.5. Here's some people on styleforum posting their sizing issues:

    Here's another old sizing guide that has been posted around here before:

    If you know your brannock size, here's my take on sizing (i've done a lot of reading on CP sizing over the years):

    US 6-6.5 = CP 39

    US 7-7.5 = CP 40

    US 8.0-8.5 = CP 41

    US 9-9.5 = CP 42

    US 10-10.5 = CP 43

    US 11-11.5 = CP 44

    US 11.5-12 = CP 45

    US 12.5 = CP 46

    Add 0.5 to your brannock size if you have wide (E) width feet to see if you need to size up. If you have narrow (C or lower) width feet, CPs will fit you even better. People who are in between sizing can always size up and put in insoles if neither size works for you. If you don't know your brannock size, it's easy to get measured anywhere, or you could use your sizing with chucks. Chucks fit very similarly (long and narrow), except the CP toebox is slightly pointier.

    People who are a size 11.5d are the worst off as far as i can tell. half say 44, the other half say 45. it all depends on how you'd want them to fit, as they'll either be too long or a little too snug.

  4. ^yeah, look at shoebuy that's where i got my pair of sand suedes for $60.71 this summer. they always have sale promotions going on, so look out for them. the stock picture shows another color, but it's really sand suede when you get them (slow shipping).

  5. turns out you were right. 39 has the right length and 40 is way too long. width-wise, 39 is too narrow. what a dilemma. wonder if i can stretch out the width on some 39s.

    No problem. A friend of mine has a similar foot size, and my 40's are too long for him.

    The width will stretch a bit.

  6. I have some 501stfs right now. I'm thinking about getting a new pair of denim. I have $300 and deciding if i should get flatheads, sams, pbj or something else. What should i get and which pairs fit like 501stfs?

    Go measure your pair of 501's. Use blue in green's guide here:

    then compare measurements to denim you're interested in buying. You're probably looking for a straight leg fit. if you're interested in a pair from selfedge, they measure denim a little differently but have their own measurement guide as well.
