I liked the Ralph ones better but not $200 better so was waiting for them to go on sale.


the RL ones is definitely better IMO.

I will definitely order one of their Shell Beef Rolls at some point in the future, but that money is now saved to get myself some more formal loafer...

there's a green boat shoes on the site now, interesting color...

Ya consider it can be bought at rancourt's site for equal or less than the RL private sale price.

Nice! I love the color - it's an interesting alternative to the typical brown shades.

My Ranger Mocs arrived. They're a little longer than I wanted but they are fine for walking around in. No slipping around or anything. I also dont' have the patience to sell my pair then order a new pair... They are probably the nicest pair of shoes I've owned.

How have you guys been sizing these? I consider 9.5D to be my typical size, with my feet probably falling on the small size of that, but Rancourt's measurement printout (which is very nice, by the way) seems to be suggesting that I'm like 8-8.5, which seems wrong to me. I'm guessing I should maybe order a 9D?

I'm gonna get some #8 Chromexcel ranger mocs with honey RLH soles.

contact them ... that chart seemed kinda off on me too

its also personal preference. some guys like to get the shoe slightly tight so it can stretch with wear so if your inbetween i would go down to the 9

or you can order from RL or BB and try them on and just return lol

8.5 might be fine, but I'd suggest a 9D if you're between sizes. I'm usually between a 10.5 and 11 and I ordered an 11, and the 11 is a little longer than I would like it to be.

Honey RLH is so hot right now...

I was advised to go true to size on them, but it's kinda nerve wracking ordering a "custom" pair of $500 shoes without ever seeing/trying them on...what if the fit is no good?

Around two weeks to make then a few days for them to ship. Well worth the wait.

I would go TTS on these. My feeling is that the last (on the beef roll and chukka moc anyway) is relatively short. With the wide, rounded toe box of the style it is fine, but in my TTS, I don't have any room to spare at the end of the shoes. Personally still trying to figure out the width. D seems a little tight, but E seems a little wide in TTS length. Can you go to a Brooks Brothers location to try some Rancourts on? They carry a few models online. Call the store first to see if they have them in stock. Local one I went to did not.

BTW your choice of ranger moc is going to be beautiful. Well played.

Just placed a CXL order myself and got notice that it would ship in about two weeks. Also put a saddle shell belt on the order and that does not have a ship date right now. I think speed of production depends a lot on the material availability. But they stick close to two weeks in most cases.
