does anyone know where to get replacement shoelaces for CPs?

i will second this, i tried contacting them directly but they didn't answer

[sexzeH]

How is the sizing on the FW collection Hi Bball ? It is similar to low/mid achilles ?

[BeauIXI]

Hey, I tried on the Officer's Boot (High laceup) but smelled it before I did, and it smells exactly like horse hide.. Can anyone confirm or disconfirm this?

@sexzeH: Many models from this line run rather large. I normally wear 47 in most shoes, but I wear a 45 in both the suede desert boot and the low court shoe, and I can wear a 44 in the Officer's Boot (the dress shoes run extra large, I've heard).

[lucky_cloud]

really? I tried on the officer boots and only had to size down one (42 to 41).

[TransparentCranium]

So I literally cannot put my training boots on without excruciating pain in my left heel. Walking in them is out of the question. The inside seem is digging into my foot. I realize they should stretch out but I can't wear them, and so can't stretch them. Thoughts?

bandaid on the spot where they rub and suck it up

Just got my achilles mid grey, i think its kinda different from the first collecion they made. The leather now feel softer than i have saw before..maybe i could be wrong?

Anyone have the numbers stamped unevenly and glue stick out on the leather?

[ipp]

^^ yea the stampings really suck this season. i saw a shit load of pairs where the stampings were splotchy across or doubled over, creating a gold blur. the stampings seem lower quality, because on an older pair i have, the stampings seem to be nearly engraved while with my newer ones, they just seem pretty flat. anyone else agree?

I stuck some foam in between the spot and my foot, still couldn't walk with it on. Going to wait till my foot heals before trying again........

Well I mean, I have to suffer with a 45 until it stretches out.. I prefer a 46-7, but must size down since the largest size is 45, then had to size down one from my sneaks for the dress shoes, so in total three euro sizes. They only had up to 43 in the ankle lace-ups, so I only tried those fabulous boots.. Did you try them on at Eugene Cho?

I feel you, Mike, was the same way with the court lows.. Always squinching up my toes to try to save my poor heels. Do you not have a stretcher?

[kunk75]

they make 46. just have to hunt around.

[x714n]

some shoes are on sale again at revolve

When I was at Odin the other month, Joey explained to me that they stopped making 46 in most cuts of CP's

[habia]

yeah, it is too bad that they are scaling back on the 46s. Honestly though the proportions can look slightly off in many of the models with such a large size, around 42 43 looks best I think.

Also, concerning the gold numbers how durable are they?

I don't particularly like them, will they start to flake/fade after a few months of use? can I easily remove by rubbing or erasing them? Or is careful scraping with an exacto blade pretty much all I can do?

and if anyone knows if the achilles mid will be discontinued next season, please let me know soon since I might have to get a second pair.

[polishmike]

gold numbers came off my nylon training boots after a week of use. they stay a little longer on leather but come off anyway with time.

Hopefully not:(

Just notice that my dust bag doesnt have the CP words on it.. Does the old season dont come with the words on it?

[MatBoy]

Damn it really seems tough to get the right size!

I wear 10 in vans, 42 in clarks desert boots, 10 in Nike... i ordered Achilles in 42, and they feel very, very snug. lenght is ok, but the toebox is so small and they're so narrow!

I'm sure i should have taken 43. damnit.

I highly, highly doubt they'd discontinue any achilles models. Some colours might come and go, but that is the lineups backbone. As for the numbers, I've had my mids for 9 months now and all the numbers are intact.

Hopefully not:(

All of mine come with the name on it, where'd you get them?

I'm a 9 in Vans and my 42s are loose now, so I'd suggest sticking to 42. They will stretch out, though naturally you should expect the toebox and general width to be less than the typical vans or nikes. If you got 43 they'd be a bit too long and would only get more loose with time.

[c.r.e.a.m.]

yeah, when sizing, don't be so worried. with my experience, just stick to your true size. im a 9.5 usually, MAYBE 10 in other sneakers. i got a 42 in the leather training boots and they fit fine. the only thing to consider is that these shoes are narrow, and the toebox is too. i wore mine for a day, and they already feel better.

[bure]

I don't want to be annoying, but crap.

Does anyone know how to get replacement or extra shoelaces for CPs?

maybe try emailing a retailer like revolveclothing to ask CP directly.... or find generic similar looking laces?

[magic]

All of mine come with the name on it, where'd you get them?

I got them at Revolve. And the size of the bag are about half smaller. Maybe they miss placed it?

[polishmike]

i got a pair from revolve and the box didn't say common projects but the bag was same as always. they probably just fucked it up.

[nifu]

does anyone spray silicone or some leather protector on their cp's?

i'm getting a pair of court shoes in black and was wondering if this would ruin the leather look of them or anything? thanks

[freecat]

Sell Me Your Black Court Shoes In 42 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fyi Revolve still have Black court in 42^

[freecat]

i know but thanks

the thing is that i don't want to pay 19.6% in french vat and 5% or less in custom taxes

so i'd rather buy them used...

thats pretty silly. you can ship them to someone in us and ask them to send them to you. every proxy will do it. you can also get coupons for revolve and get them much cheaper than anywhere else.

Cant believe it... Maybe PM idea was good.
