My CP chelseas arrived today 

 Shoutout to whoever convinced me to go with the CP's, I think it was @Hennessy

Picked the right size (41) and they fit perfectly. Went to the city to hang with a friend and within just a few minutes of walking the boots felt like I'd worn them many times before. No break in required, very comfortable right away.

2 people came up to me to ask what brand they were 

 Definitely an eye-catcher, I don't see chelsea boots very often around here.

I mean with it being crepe, I'd hope they would require no break in lol

Solid pick up

The ankle support is also very soft and comfortable compared to other boots. I have disproportionately wide ankles for my foot size so in many cases I have issues with the ankle support of leather boots/dress shoes. That's more what I was referring to in regards to breaking them in.

The vast majority of my leather dress shoes/boots I've had to take to a cobbler to widen the ankle area.

I still, to this day, and despite numerous friends owning pairs, don't see the appeal of the CP Chelsea. Too bulbous, not a fan of crepe soles... Hedi 30/40 or bust, IMO.

Crepe soles on chelesea's remind me of lunargrand x cole haan shoes just doesn't look right.

SEF get the job done for me I also hate CPs and bottegas

 

[hennessy]

I think the SLP Hedi are the nicest but they definitely aren't for me. I'm still a lil too gutter for all of that but I'm trying to be more classy. Can't be running these streets in heels, word to Diego. I just got my Kent Wang tie in the other day

Congratulations on your swag upgrade Belgium . You made the right decision. By my own accounts, you'll be receiving invitations for extramarital affairs in no time Prosper young man!

 

[pinoy732]

But you ordered a Conrad Wu tie

 

[hennessy]

Forgive me, that's what I meant to say Mind is a little cloudy right now.

SLP is the holy grail of boots but I don't feel comfortable spending €685 on them right now.

The CP's look a bit more casual and I intend to wear them a lot so comfort was also my primary concern.

As for the jeans, I'm aware they're not for everybody. I stick to plain colors for the most part but I do like an eccentric piece on occasion, something unique. That's my guilty pleasure pair 

For what it's worth they get complimented frequently when I'm wearing them out shopping in the bigger cities. Some people love them, some people don't.

I'm not gonna argue if someone dislikes them, I respect and understand that opinion.

At the end of the day I think what matters most is how much you personally enjoy something.

I wish I could've spent that much on em

I wish I could've spent that much on em

I had a look at the US prices. Yikes 

Living in a country right next to France has its benefits.

I had to do a lot of searching to find a european retailer for the CP chelseas. You'd expect them to be more common given the fact they're made in Italy. Ended up getting them for around €390. Pretty good deal I think, international retailers had them for well over €500. Might as well cop SLPs at that point.

Y'all are winning when it comes to electronics though. My iPhone 5 16gb was €800. The bigger memory options go up to €1100. 

 When my friend went to the US a while back he bought a bunch of unlocked iphones there and flipped them for large profits when he came back 

 

[ch03]

Any recommendation on watches? Looking for something with a brown strap, white dial. Just for casual use, don't really want to spend over $200.
