John Lobb "Sutton" question

[Get Smart]

anyone own a pair of the Sutton oxford (with star medallion)?

if so, do they run fairly true to size (I am a 41EU)?

does the Lobb boutique in NYC ever have sales on it or should I expect to pay $1380 regardless of time of year?

Yes, they are great. You should be a 7E, I would think.

i am bidding on a pair of suttons right now.

get smart, yes they are a great pair of shoes. i tried on a pair at NM and they are sweet.
i prefer chestnut or red museum. or even parisian. but what can i do, black is the only choice on ebay right now.

woah woah, they have the Suttons at Neimans???? which one? can't be FI, their shoe selection is weak...I have seen Lobb at Wilshire tho....

I'm actually thinking about getting a pair of these....love the way they look

I got mine at the JL store during its semi-annual sale. It's on 8000 last which I find about about 3/4 size larger than American size but many down 1 full size.

zjp, is that the chestnut or plum museum? the pics I've seen of the plum is hard to tell if it's much different from the chestnut, tho I would guess the plum has a purplish tint to it?

and Brian mentioned red museum...is this a color option, as I didnt see it on their website?

 

[zjpj83]

I think it's chestnut, Jason

Mine is in Muesum red. I posted the pictures at the shoe Appreciation thread.

I see you are moving into the light (MC).

Lobbs in my experience run really large. I wear a size US9.5D. The pair of Suttons I tried on in UK8.5E were loose in the forefoot and had heel slippage. Size UK8E in the 8000 last gave me the snug fit I prefer.

I'm, at smallest, a US 10D in most shoes. I had to go with a UK 8.5E in my Chapels, and I imagine on the 7000 last I'm going to have to go down to 8E.

those are big sizing discrepancies.....so it sounds like a 6 or 6.5 would be the neighborhood to look in my size (US 8, 41eu)

VonRoth....do you know when the Lobb boutique typically has their sales?

 

[von Rothbart]

Usually around early June and early Dec.

 

[Get Smart]

thanks for the info..early June is right around the corner

Anybody know if the models that came out with the Vale/Chapel/Luffield round of releases will be on sale in June, or will that not happen until December?
