Should I size down 1/2 on these?

[Giles]

I went US 10E.  I am a 10 c/e in Alden…...If that helps.....

[elclintor]

copped.

what a steal!

[Giles]

That is exactly what I thought too El.  Even paying taxes and shipping to UK, I thought they were a good price…..

[rocket]

nice cop G and a interesting site solution they have….

and HD that Choctaw Ridge henley looks great...

@rocket:

and a interesting site solution they have….

Yes, I was very impressed.  Thought I would have to get them shipped to one of my long suffering "proxies", but the Nordstrom solution to international shipping is refreshing and cheap enough for me to not need to hassle my friends (well, Monday, Lando or Doug - they may well deny the friendship bit)….

[rocket]

yeah, the thing with the calculated and guaranteed customs, tax etc, is pretty unique, can't remember that I have seen that before…

Gilt does this as well for the int'l sales but price for one item I checked, went up from 169 $ to 277 because of it (with 19.95 $ for shipping), so eff that system…

Arrrived today - like that the lambswool just lines the ankles (get claustrophobic feet if too hot or squished).  Loving ‘em.

so they final ship out of the US…. but still think its better to communicate that... and that customs charges sucks is not really a questions, I can tell you endless stories...
