It's not, just got an email from the SA about that. She said the fall stock is pretty much all instore, and they're not expecting any more new stock anytime soon.

and yea, the grey on those atrocious loafers is nice, the Corso grey is not grey at all on the stock pics.

I prefer the gray Ricard so if I don't get that, I might swing for gray leather boots from either KK Attachment or MofM. My shoe collection is over-saturated with PS, some variety is warranted.

If anyone's interested, I've got a pair of off-white dip dye Cage's in sz 7.5 in B&S:

Hey guys I have a quick PS question.

I own some Starrs which I absolutely love. They always get tons of compliments.
But I was wondering if there are any less extreme PS shoes. Because as cool as they are I don't feel they are an every day shoe. I hope y'all understand what I am saying.

I am not sure what you mean by less extreme? You mean design-wise or less pointy? You can look into Cages, I bought some brown dip-dye that gets regular wear and it is very comfortable. It is just a regular oxford style and not overwhelming at all. You can also try and get the Pablo or Granada, both cap toe oxfords that seem to fit what you are looking for. For a boot option, the Ricards isn't a bad option either. Here's my Ricards with jeans, the Cages looks pretty similar when covered with pants/jeans.

Damn, that sucks! I would pull the trigger if they accepted returns to the PS Store but it's too risky ordering it and spending a lot just to return them. I guess I'll check out Barneys or NM, maybe they will get it in *crosses fingers*

Yeah Ricards are definitely on my Radar, and if cages look a lot like that when covered with pants that may be what I'm looking for.

Well by less extreme just the starrs are very long and pointy and as much as I like attention they grab a lot. Just something that is very nice but a little more subdued.

 

[RFX45]

Yeah, the Cage should look pretty similar to Ricards.

the PS site has a lot of shoes that are "less extreme", just take a look and see what strikes yer fancy

If you're looking for wingtips, the Millers are slightly less pointy than the Starrs and the Nash are quite a bit less long and pointy. Kind of like half a dinosaur.
The Corso boot also isn't very pointy.

Do Ricards look ok with wider/straight leg jeans or more slimmer/tapered jeans only?

I like the look of them in the pic above ^^ but they leg openings dont seem that tight...

 

[Lachy]

It's a slim boot and looks best with slim jeans, IMO. Could work with tight jeans also, but I don't think it would go too well with loose/boot cut, but that might just be my aversion to those cuts.

FWIW, the shot posted by RFX45 is what I would call a slim jean.

Forest Green Millers, pics sucks but the color sounds interesting.

 

[Lachy]

What's the point of releasing all these awesome colours if they can't capture and display them properly?

 

[Razele]

I really like the miller, except it is blake stitched, instead of blake rapid.

Unrucky.
