I'm new here, so looking for some advice. Been thinking about copping a pair of FBTs, but would somebody be able to help me on sizing? For reference, I wear a UK7 in MMM GATs, and US8.5 in Nikes. Thanks!

buy 1/2 size down compared with your Nike

I buy half down from my nike size, because nike's I usually require sizing up due to narrow width

 

[stevekerr]

Thanks guys, I'm closer to 8.5/9 in Nikes, so I guess I'll look at either 8 or 8.5. Do you know how stock in e-store correlates to its Visvim or F.I.L. stores?

 

[Emixam]

yes sorry i meant size down half.....

Hi all,

I just bought these, but worried I might have just ended up with fakes: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Visvim-Virg...D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

Can anyone verify?

I was digging around for that same listing myself a couple days ago. If they're legit, I think they're from 2012 in kangaroo...I've seen virgils in that makeup, except brown, a couple places from SS12. That was my best guess. I came close to purchasing, but decided I probably want one of the thicker leathers instead.

Unrelated note: I got my hands on some Porcellas and they are awesome. It's probably a good thing these shearling skagways are too large for me or I might grab them, too.

anybody in NY had their visvim resoled?

looking to replace my virgils and want a reputable cobbler to do it!

Closer to the first pair rather than the second as the second has 8 eyelets vs. 7. I looked online as well for them and only came across FIL exclusive SS12 brown ones.

the number of eyelets depend on the shoe size for visvim boots, ive confirmed

fbt sashiko do not use the lhamo sole, not sure if that dude made a mistake trying to save space or is just using someone else's pics

edit: looks like there's some lhamo folks up for sale from him as well, probably just messed up the pics

Would appreciate if anyone could give me some details on these two jackets. Both say navy, but not sure what the main differences would be.
