i bought a pair my size and they were too small

[Anonymous No.8235735]

>>8235722
do you have to pay for returns? if so, how much?

[Anonymous No.8235766]

like half of you fuccbois could even tell the difference between these and CPs if you didn't have any context. they're like the same thing with slightly thinner leather, less cushioning, coarser stitching and a bit of ugly stitching between the toebox and the tongue. like if CPs make you happy because they're luxury items and they're comfortable and you like the gold stamp then go ahead but don't be ridiculous talking about how you can immediately tell the difference in quality on sight when CPs aren't nearly as high quality as the price would suggest anyway

for OP, i would bother getting kent wangs if you liked CPs but thought they were overpriced for what they were and didn't care about brands really fine details. if you want CPs, don't cheap out and get these, you'll be disappointed, just get the CPs

those are the old version

[Anonymous No.8235872]

>>8235852
no they're actually the new ones lol

[Anonymous No.8235920]

no personal experience but i've heard the quality is shit on both the new and old versions.

[Anonymous No.8235931]

>>8235836
....
that's not really bad considering it's 1/4 of the price
i don't know about you but dropping $400 for sneakers is a large investment for most people

[Anonymous No.8235945]

Thoughts on these? They're $125 at aldo and the leather/quality seems thick, juicy, tight. I'm in between these and the kent wangs at this point

[Anonymous No.8235951]

>>8235920
you get what you pay for

don't expect great quality from $90 shoes

[Anonymous No.8235977]

>>8235945
dnc they look cheap af

they remind me of adisas vulc neo from the blue inner lining to the toebox

and the kent wangs from what i've read are very poor quality. the leather starts crack/peel and fall apart. if you want simple white sneakers you're better off saving up for CP's

[Anonymous No.8235981]

>>8235951
>CPs
>great quality
their price inflated because of fuccbois projecting value on them, not because of any sudden rise in quality

how long do you exactly expect sneakers to last? you aren't going to be wearing the same shoe 2-3 years later anyway

[Anonymous No.8236007]

>>8235981
didn't even mention CP's lol
i know overhyped shit will always cost more, that's how business works.

[Anonymous No.8236025]

>>8235945

I might just get those, you can save 10% if you sign up for emails and then there's a $10 coupon for orders over $100 so it should work out to be $102.50 total if you can apply both offers

[Anonymous No.8236111]

>>8235931
yeah but think about having them and knowing they're just a bad quality look-alike of what you really want. It would be better just to cop white chucks

[Anonymous No.8236142]

>>8236111

but what if I just want low white leather sneakers and don't care about CP hype? Literally no one I interact with at work or socially even knows that CP is a brand, all people see is color and silhouette

everythinfg fucking thread the same things gets posted lmao

for the clueless those are the old versions

why are you looking for validation from anons on a japanese cartoon forum
if that is what you truly believe then go ahead and buy them

[Anonymous No.8236405]

>>8236007
thought this was a CP alt thread, my bad
also just saying, a lot of times you don't get what you pay for

[Anonymous No.8236418]

i own a pair, they are fine. i sized up since im in between and they fit fine, they look fine. they are 95 bucks and you really cant go wrong. if you wanna be swayed just bc some anons on /fa/ are trying to get you to drop 400 on the same exact thing then be my guest

[Anonymous No.8236424]

>>8236418
also like I said, they are 95 dollars thats fucking nothing, if they suck and you hate them return them or toss them to the side either way youre not losing anything

[Anonymous No.8236432]

looks like the soles on the aldos are stitched on compared to the kent wangs which are glued on. Guess I'm going with the aldos.

I endorse this statement, minimalist sneakers they may be but you can immediately tell when you see them compared to anything else.
