Are there any good alternatives to CP achillies or should I just fork out the £300 and be done with it?

>> No.17106648

Watch the rose anvil white shoe videos where he cuts them open. from those it seems they are overpriced and you are paying for the brand. You can get a better shoe for less money, $450 is ridiculous

Stop referring to the rose anvil video. It's already well known he made that video and gave dishonest opinions because he was sponsored by a rival brand to CP. Even fucking reddit, that usually gobles this shit up, was able to deconstruct his video as bullshit.

i have the ones he was comparing them to. It was koio right? I've never worn CPs, but compared to Artisan Lab, I found them to be somewhat more comfortable, and the leather a little less stiff. But it's not like koio's are cheap either.

Try and look around if you can find some older triple white Stan Smiths.
They are quite a bit bulkier than something like CPs, but they are still clean and good quality for the money.
Make sure you get older stock though. The newer Stans are all made out of vegan "leather" or recycled plastic since Adidas wants to phase out all leather use by like 2030 or some shit.

Crown Northamptons are the highest quality sneaker you can buy within that price range. Unfortunately the silhouette isnt as nice.

Yeah a little but also loose in another way. They're made of better leather than stuff like adidas and nike so they do need to break in. I also changed out the insole for one from a pair of adidas I have.
