ugggh, im tempted, but I have a feeling that this is a brand where I am between sizes, as my size 10's are borderline too big. Am considering the 9.5, but no returns on sale items means it would be a $200 crap shoot. I should have just stuck to my guns in the beginning and went for the Bakers oxfords….

Definitely size down a half size as the leather stretches like crazy. Trust me, I went with a US11 and wish I had done a US10.5. Get the US9.5 and you will be happy. $200 is not much for the craftsmanship and materials used. They will outlast the $200 you pay.

10.5 it is since I'm mostly a size 11. Thanks for the link!
Sounds like a plan and NP. Enjoy

Hey Lando, my camp boots got soaked on the weekend and they auto-downsized a little when drying. Just a half-serous suggestion…
Hmmmmm, thank you sir! Looks like my pair will be getting a much needed dip in the tub this evening. Thanks brotha. Then I may send them back to Chicago for a full reworking.

^ They're in love
haha - but they need some lovin! Cleaning and Obenauf's should do them good. Your navy looks particularly great. The navy varies from hide to hide - yours has a really intense shade - love it. -
Browns first (blue tomorrow):
- remove stained laces. After having cleaned your shoes, rub some polish in your hands and rub it over your laces… They're made of leather as well!..
- hi there!..
- get your hands dirty!.. Apply Obenauf's with your fingers!..
- dry with a hairdryer (guess what: I didn't have one til I bought Obenauf's…)
Leather now feels supple and moist. Thank you Obenauf's heavy duty leather polish!..

Nice Eli!

Im back in Oakstreet business. I traded a guy my size 10 browns for his size 9.5 naturals. Its amazing how much of a difference 1/2 a size makes.
-
pretty amazing details, deerskin lining, horsehide insole, and natural CXL outer.

Those look great, but then again, the price reflects that. If it had an OSB price, I would be all over it…
-
yea, I like the looks of those, but $596 is outrageous.

id like those if they had a sensible sole, maybe a black christy or even a leather sole like rancourt/quoddy/russell tracker
-
Not taking the safe route with that design. Those are going to elicit strong opinions…

I guess since it is the murder moc, it should look like it can kill people. I suppose the ripple sole does achieve that.
