Official Paul Smith Shoe Thread... all PS shoe questions here

RFX45, what do u have on the soles of those shoes u posted? What is the best way to get the longest life out of the shoe (sole)?

 

[RFX45]

^^^ I have toe and heel taps on them and that is pretty much the only way I could think of protecting the sole. You can have rubber (vibram) put on the sole for more traction and I guess that could protect the sole but it will cover the leather sole. I guess you can also have the rubber strategically placed on the sole. I can't find the pics but Ferragamo had some shoes with leather soles and little strips of rubber positioned on the sole. The clobber might be able to help you out with that.

anyone know where I can pick up the dark brown nash's that RFX45 posted two pages back? Google didn't return any except for the black ones at tobi.

I'm going to be selling mine. They're a half size too big for me and now that I picked up the Corso boots, I really can't justify keeping them both. Size 7.5UK, worn once.

PM me if you're interested.

I just posted up my Cordo ricards and some vintage PS sunglasses for sale in S&W. Price for my Cordo is 417.20 shipped. This is the price I paid in October 2008 for them on sale plus 20 bucks for shipping. Price is firm.

I imagine those will be too small. I wear a 10.5 in RLPL and 43 in common projects. What would I be in Nash's? They run a tad shorter than other PS, right?

Here are my sizing stats:

*8US in Chucks
*9.5US in Puma sneakers
*8US in Red Wing boots
*8US in Clark's DB
*7UK in Paul Smith

Hope that helps...

Ok all. Can anyone ID these PS boots for me? I've had 'em a while but unfortunetly are a smidgen too bif for myself so am looking at letting them go. A name would be useful though!

 

[somatoform]

Corso in fabric?

 

[Prada_Ferragamo]

I usually wear 9D. Would an 8.5 UK fit me, or would it be too large?

 

[bdeuce22]

everyone's feet are different but i am an 8.5D Us and a 7UK fits me

 

[Prada_Ferragamo]

I guess I should specify it's the starrs that i want. They look narrow in the front, but I don't know how narrow.

I'm a 9 in sneakers, 8 in boots, and the 8UK was way too big to me.

 

[RFX45]

Not only are every feet different but every shoe are different as well.
You are a 9D in what shoes? Narrowing it down to which shoe will help a lot.

 

[Prada_Ferragamo]

42 in CPs, 9 in Converse, Grenson, Prada, etc etc. Hope this helps.
