no the bluepoint chukkas suck. these were the 'special edition' ones or some ****. I heard they were japan only (besides a few US accounts), but I think it was kind of marketing BS. only a few boutiques had em - totally dope, much nicer than the ugly ass bluepoints.

He was asking about sizing haha..

Agreed that the bluepoint chukka is teh ugly. In Sperry-speak, "bluepoint" means the shoes are on a square toe last. Strike one. 3-eyelet and thus tongue to vamp being more or less flat, instead of the 4-eye (For The Greater Goods version)'s sleek line. Strike two.

I like those black ones. They make me wish I hadn't already bought the black nylon BOO ones, which have turned out to be POSs.

I got the black barrel boats (will switch the laces I guess) and the black velcro blue stitching. Great sale.

Well I realized after the fact that the blue stitch ones are navy so I went back and got the black with red stitching too. Too late to cancel the others so I will have 3 pairs from this sale now. They are size 10 if anyone wants dibs on the ones I return.

So much hate for the barrel laces. That's old school style.
