      I think it varies from actual shoe to shoe. The wisdom on here is that CCP (including scarred cordovan) = +1.5-2 US sizes, but after trying on the current season's cordovan boots at ab it seemed much more like .5-1 size large. Admittedly they take time to break in, I'm just sure how much this affects the decision.
      I would guess as a 43 or 43.5 you are a ccp 9 still, but i am not an expert on this.

          they will be too big mike. no way even near the right fit.

          btw the seller marks full price with insurance.

              It's all good my man! Honestly though, I think you should pass of those boots even if they did fit. I got to handle the rubber soled footwear at The Library back when the pieces were in season and they really felt cheap.

              In other news... someone is liberating their MA+ red double fold wallet:

              unfortunately they lost the silver clasp closure mechanism which is kinda sad :(

                Yes, I am going to pass on them thanks to the wisdom of SZ. Thanks for the help, all.

                      i have this wallet. i had no idea there was only 25 made. cant believe he only took 8% off the retail price with the clasp broken. what a douche. i stopped using this wallet as its a big pain in the ass. the doubling makes everything way too thick and the clasp is a pain too, so if you put three credit cards and some cash in there its already to much and its geared for 3 million more family photos but then you cant close the thing...nice object totally disfunctional unless you have a purse.
                      One wonders where it will end, when everything has become gay.

                          haha, it really is too bad the clasp is busted.

                          I love the design of the whole thing and i'm surprised to hear that it really can't hold a ton without getting all wonky. Shame.

                            Or perhaps one requires a proper MA+ bag in which to carry it! Nevertheless, such a slight discount for a broken piece really seems unjust....in spite of the amazing colour. Thanks for the clarification, pnod. My interest is piqued each time I see this pop up for sale, but I have always held back for fear of exactly what you have spelt out.

                                On another note, was anyone here watching that Linea coat on ebay (can't find the link at the moment)? Looked such a small size (a size 2). Pity.
