Bed Stu Shoes

[tonio028]

Do any of you have any experience with this brand for shoes? I saw a few of their shoes on Urban Outfitter's site (link). The reviews say true to size, but that's always tough to identify for me b/c I am all over the place on sizing for dress shoes, boots, sneakers, etc. Any scoop on these would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I would buy the same size as I would in chucks, which would normally be about a half size down from dress shoe size. I have a pair of Bed Stu boots that i sized true to size and they are very big, even with an insole. These are boots however, so the sizing on a regular shoe may not be the same. I would probably look elsewhere to buy the shoe and wait for a sale however. UO is very overpriced (Red Wing GTs are 300 dollars on there) and from my experience the quality and durability of Bed Stu shoes does not justify their full retail, although they can look good. My experience is with the Deputy boot, which I bought from amazon for 50 bucks.

I would look at a pair in person. IMO the leather looks cheap and Aldo-like.

there are 2 pairs that have been sitting on the floor hidden by all the clearance v-neck tees and such at the Urban Oufitters in Omaha for a good 2-3 months now.

I guess what I mean is, be patient, these were originally 150+ methinks, and are now 49.99, and could soon be even less.

I tried on the 9.5's which were a size to big... so my guess is that these run a lot like chucks in terms of sizing but.

OP, Im sure we were looking at the same pair of shoes on UO ('The Stentorian and The Brogue?)... I thought they looked awesome but didn't have my size, ended up questing and found some wayyy nicer shoes for a similar price, Id say skip on the bed stu (have you SEEN their other ****?) and hold out for a better brand on sale.

Thanks for the responses guys, very much appreciated. My local UO didn't have any that I saw and thought maybe others did and I could get some feedback before buying as I was afraid of crap leather and overpricing.

GY!BE - Those are the exact ones in the grey. I have been looking for a nice modestly priced pair of grey shoes that could give me a balance for casual wear with dark jeans as well as with dress pants (mostly) as I am looking for something outside of black to go with black/grey pants. I had originally eyed up a pair of "heutchy" shoes on Revolve and Oak a while back as well, but wasn't sold on the material variation it had (here). Which did you pick up if you don't mind me asking?

I wore 'em a bit at UO.

Ok construction, def. a 30$ shoe. Plastic sole, a bit rounded underneath; I found the fit ok, a bit hard on the heel step, a bit of a wobbly walk due to the bubbled/slightly rounded sole. And for me, not the most attractive profile, kind of a flat and duck-billed nose, lil euro looking.

I have 3 pairs of Heutchy.

Great construction, very finely/delicately produced.

Worth the sale price, but not full retail...too delicate.

And each pair requires a $25 3/4 sole added.

Bedstu... quality sucks. i have got a pair of boots on amazon for 60% off long time ago. they look good, but quality sucks... made in mexico, leather is orange colored on the inside, makes my socks look weird.

Here's an old thread on them, it is hard to find because search has a bad time searching for three-letter words:

They're not bad if you catch them really on sale; otherwise, not worth the retail at all.

From what I've seen, their quality is shite. They're akin to Kenneth Cole reaction.

Just wait for something good to pop up on the B&S boards here. You can catch something much better in that price range.
