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.

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

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.

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?

Thank you!!

Do they still hurt your toes? I have wide feet and don't like the squishing.

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?

I’m a size 10 should I go down to a size 9?

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.

Best/easiest way to break in shoes is a pair of Shoe Trees, $20 for a pack of two on amazon👍

I normally wear IT43 for Gucci ACE and alexander mcqueen. So i can wear 43 for this one right

@KevinChen

I would suggest a size 38! I'm also a stan smith us7 and I think size 38 would be my best tts

ever heard of Koio?

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!
