No, their manager told me that they couldn't make the backorder at £79 as they are losing money at this price. So don't count on it.

I received mine today! And they fit absolutely perfect. They are probably not on the 87F last as the Premier because they look a little bit sleeker but they fit the same. Some pics:

And compared to AS Premier Blenheim:

Very nice! I was sad to miss the semi-brogues, both the sude and willow looked really nice. Still I'm sure I'll be happy with the walnut suede brogues.

the half brogue snuff suede is gorgeous. someone should snap up stylemaven's pair.

how is the sizing on them? i would love a pair that fit, but clark's suggestion that they are sleeker than the 87 has me thinking the UK 10 might fit like a US 10.5 in the aberdeen or park avenue. that's just a guess -- others please comment as you get your shoes.

and anyone with extra shoes, please offer them here or in B&S.

So we have 2 confirmation of receiving the shoes. Can anyone after receiving the shoes, comment on whether they're AS Premier?

+1. In my case, I'm sure I'll be happy with my suede monks, as long as the size is ok. Otherwise, I'll definitely pass along the deal here at price paid + shipping, with Parker getting 1st dibs. Will post pics as soon as I receive them...
