gotcha. I should have specified my post was for achilles and others the like -- not the oxfords (and actually read the op's post). Going to edit my post

Does anybody know where regular white or gum sole Achilles can be had on discount? Maybe even the white ones with the green or navy accents. My pair from last year is pretty beat up and I need a new one.

Yeah, I was here when the Yoox sale first went live. I hesitated for a brief moment before placing my order due to some shipping address issues, and before I knew it, they were out of my size.

Really hoping someone flips! I'm a size 42 -- shoot me a PM if you have anything in my size for sale!

Thanks, man!

Wondering if these are worth it at the price, especially considering that they'll run about $280 after shipping. A bit hard to swallow after seeing that great Yoox sale just a few weeks ago and knowing that mf picked up the same shoes for $150, but I suppose I'll bite.

Does anybody know if all Achilles are made of nappa leather? I thought I read something about just the white+green colorway being made of nappa, but there's a very high likelihood that I read wrong.

I wear 9 in most and 42 fits me well. I do have slightly wide feet though. I could barely fit into 41s.

Nah. The ones from F/W 10 were, but S/S 11 are not, unfortunately. Its so soft

But the tongue and heel tabs are suede I guess its more of a fall texture thing
