Yeah, I might just keep them. We'll see how they look.

Grabbed the size 13 Chukka. It sounds like I'm the same size as Teger (12 sneakers, 11.5 dress shoe), so I hope they'll fit.

I purchased the 10s and the 10.5s in the chukkas. If they do run small as Teger said, expect the 10s up in the B&S for anyone who may have missed out.

This is marsupialed. **** GILT for not shipping to Canada.

Damn, I checked gilt too late.

If anyone purchased the patent whites in 8.5 or 9, and they don't want anymore, PM me.

^me first.

Let's share. One shoe per person.

Anyone interested in the tan suede chukka in 12 if they don't fit?

Are these the ones that were on Gilt?

Can't believe I missed this. FML.

 

[Curious_George]

That would be them. I don't even really care for boat shoes or most of Sperry's chukkas, but I do like that particular pair.

Copped a pair of the tan suede chukkas.

Just wondering, what's the general consensus on wearing these chukkas with shorts? Alternatively, can these be worn in a business casual setting with slim fit khakis? or for going out for the night?

One last thing: anyone got any good suggestions on taking care/precautions with the suede? All I know is that you can't get 'em wet.

Thanks all.
