thanks

woah $160 to $700 jump. There's plenty of nice boots in between those prices

Buttero makes a relatively similar pair. Also check out Fiorentini + Baker. Apparently they're on sale at Barneys if you live near one.

If you're a 41, CP canvas boots are on sale here

i like it.

Honestly, I think it fits me well, but could stand to be a little smaller. Maybe not worth sizing down...

You look like one of the joker's henchmen from the old Adam West version of Batman.

Dear noobs looking for cheap boots,
Look at To Boot New York. They're decently cheap (retail $200-$300), I've heard a few decent responses (though there isn't that much feedback that I've come across), can be had for decently cheaper ($150-$200) and are pretty nicely designed. They may be a bit hard to come by, but Nordstroms/Rack stocks them

thinking of getting these, yes/no?

If it's the tax that's bugging you I'll proxy them for you from AB (5%)... but somehow I doubt it?

These are 10.5s but my size is all over the place, 8.5UK in PS Ricards (and I could likely go to an 8 if I really wanted a tight fit). Makes ordering shoes online a hassle lol

I am ok with either of these scenarios.

thanks for the suggestion, those cps are definately nice and im a 41... the only thing thats bugging me is that their canvas, i would probably need the boots to at least rain and stuff.

haha, yea...$160 - $700 is a huge jump, but its difficult finding boots that i like and having a zipper on the side is really convinent.

Blue, brown, or yellow?

XenoX101 · Aug 28, 2010

All of them, nah I'd personally go with the yellow and blue so you can wear the yellow with navy jeans and the blue with chinos or lighter jeans.

Kvc06 · Aug 28, 2010

I like the yellow best

delakingois · Aug 28, 2010

Yeah, I was leaning towards that one already, since I need some colour in my wardrobe. And lets face it, all raincoats should be yellow.

It's treated canvas, it's waterproof.

Definitely full canvas only

Half canvas is fine

Really don't care

Depends on fabric
