There's a lot of talk in the thread about sizing but I didn't see anything specific to the Comme des Garçons (CDG) AM97. Anyone have any idea on how this one runs? Thanks in advance!
Just received my pair and am really disappointed. They look and feel very cheap. The white "leather" is of visibly poor quality. I was actually really into these shoes and looked forward to getting them, but they're like a 6/10 at best for me.
Finally got my pair today. No glue stains or mismatched elephant print, but the appearance of the leather on each toe box is very different. One is clearly tumbled while the other is very smooth. Similar thing happened with my Royal 1s. Not the end of the world but very annoying.
I bought the silver bullets a half size up and they fit perfectly. Just bought the golds in the same size and they were big, so I’m exchanging to go down to my usual size. Anyone else notice size differences between the silver and gold?
Got mine today. I went TTS on these, just like I did on the 87s. Fit fine. Not sure what to do about the lacing. Looks cool with the laces tucked and tied to the side, but the shoes are really loose this way. Overall, I think these are the best of the ISPA shoes.
Got my pair from Mr. Porter. TTS worked for me. On their recommendation I also got a half size down and it was too small. This shoe is comfortable but it's not like a revolution in comfort or anything. To me, it's no more comfortable than the 270. If I'm being honest, the Epic React is much more...
I'm like a 30 or 31 waist and the small fit OK with the tiniest amount of cinching. I know this isn't that helpful but you might be able to go with a S or M. Just remember that the pants are kind of baggy, which I imagine increases as you go up in size.
I got the fleece pullover and fleece pants, both size small. They were comically oversized. Not sure who is supposed to wear this stuff. Reminded me of Missy Elliott from "The Rain" video.
