Can anyone here identify these two models I found? I'd say they're the same but the off-white are dip dyed and have different sole details (maybe just different seasons?). Are they both Cage?

 

[ike_hiking_boots]

Look like Cage to me. The sole details are just different production runs. PS often changed small details like the print on the inside being seasonal.

These are definitely Cage shoes. They have been discontinued since 2009/2010 and haven't been in production since as far as I know. I have a pair in off white and these are by far the best Paul Smith shoes I have.

The leathers used on them is really soft. Very comfortable when I tried a pair on. Fit TTS. I was thinking about picking these up at Sale but I believe these ones are new season and the ones with the pony hair on the heel are AW15 which you should be able to find at Sale. Not so sure about the pony hair – plain black would be better.

These look like PS' try on 'simple' Stain Smiths - it has become a trend really, a lot of companies are doing something similar, usually not successfully IMHO. At this price you can find Common Projects, but what I would really suggest is a pair of Kent Wang's. I recently bought a pair (in white) and, with Rod Laver Clean Vulc, these are my favorite sneakers so far (at a fraction of the cost). Plus, unlike other manufacturers, Mr. Kent Wang is a pleasure to deal with, will help you with sizes etc.

http://www.kentwang.com/shoes/sneaker-handgrade-black.html - 'handgrade' (still less than 50% of the PS price)

these for 230 USD. Should i?



And i'm 7.5 in Chucks. Would a UK 6 fit?

 

[ike_hiking_boots]

230 what? Pounds, shillings or pence?

 

[mykoh]

USD sorry

I have this pair of Paul Smith split toe lace up boots. Anyone knows which season they are from? Thanks

I have a pair of PS Chukka boots (Made In Italy) which I adore a lot and has been great for the past two years. I abused them quite a lot and now I'm looking into recrafting it. Is it possible to revive the original suede color and resole these with leather soles?
