I have the brown and like it, but I think the grey is actually the coolest one. Should be easy to wear with jeans.

How is it possible that the Heschung Taupe Malko Boots are still available in sizes 8.5-10 and then some? People are sleeping on these boots. Perfect casual (and really comfortable) boots that go equally with casual trousers/chinos and awesome with jeans. These boots are the perfect substitute for those MC cats who can't bring themselves to wear sneakers that cost more than $90, but don't mind dropping $200-$800 on properly stitched and well crafted shoes/boots. These were the perfect mix of sneaker/boot I have been looking for in my wardrobe for a while. Quality shoe.

Anyone own the Valstarino and can comment on its quality, fit, and appearance? Did you take your normal size? It appears to run on the non-slim side compared to other jackets, but maybe blousons are supposed to fit more relaxed.

Still considering one of those bombers but undecided on the color. Seems like a nice jacket with denim so I ruled out the blue - too matching.

Brown stands out the most to me but I own a lot of brown herringbone stuff already.

I own the grey and for more information and a fit pic, search my username in this thread and proceed to the checkout page on NMWA

Have my eye on them. In your experience, fairly true to Size? I'm a 9USD/8.5UK generally.

I would think you would want to, especially to protect from the salt at least.

I use obenauf's on all my boots, but i'm sure there are other products out there.

Thanks for the quick response. Salt is my main concern. I'm going to see if I can find Obenauf's locally. If not, Leffot carries Montana Pitch Blend and I can always stop by in the AM tomorrow.

Question for the Vass people: I'm a US 10.5+ (think a 10.6 left and a 10.7-10.8 right foot; a little extra width in the front 'round the little toe) - what's the going wisdom in sizing for me for the the Vass Budapest Oxford F-Last?

I'm fence sitting, but gravity is pulling me in...

44 on the F, 45 on the U

I sized them according to my Barrie size. I wear a US 8D and purchased the size 8. They fit a little longer than the Barrie last and than most boots in that size that I own, but still the right fit as they don't slip around when worn even with thinner socks and I don't need an insole. They run a bit more narrow so I don't think sizing down to the 7.5 would have worked for that reason anyway.

That's b/c I own them :foo:

Do you typically wear US10.5 or US11? What size do you wear in other makes (e.g., Carmina, Lobb, EG, G&G, C&J, etc.)? Just going by this information, I'd guess EU43.5, but knowing more would be helpful.

 

[unbelragazzo]

Agree, 44 on F. I'm US 11+, I took a 44.5 on the F.

Sounds like another job for rentaswag. I can proxy that for you or something.

I'd say 44 on F and P2; 44.5 on U

Thanks to everyone for the Vass F-Last advice!
