Official Paul Smith Shoe Thread... all PS shoe questions here

[jayce030]

Fit pics when possible gents... most of my pants are tapered and am wondering if bihars would look odd... Ricards were perfect for me, thats why i was hoping they were somewhat similar in structure and slimness.

The SF Paul Smith store doesnt carry them as with other stores downtown and have no other fit comparisons besides your comments, so thanks!

When I tried on the Bihars, I was wearing some slim jeans, 7"-7.5" leg opening and I thought they looked great with it, very similar look to the Ricards just not as low profile. I would have taken pics at the store but the store was pretty empty and 3 of the SA's were tending to me, made me feel even worst returning the boots to them and telling them I'll think about it.

Wow i think i like the ricards a little better... i still haven't scored a pair

Still not sure which size i'd need.

Thx RFX... I'll pick them up... Just gonna wait for ur pics of the brown bihars and it's a go.

A Barneys exclusive Paul Smith Chukka, which i don't get because I could ahve sworn I saw the exact same shoe at NM a few months ago, even posted a pic of it here. Maybe the somewhat lighter brown version is exclusive?
It would have been nice in tan suede or snuff suede though.

Those suede Chukkas are just the Achille. They've been around a while. I bought a pair of dark brown suede ones at Nordstrom a few seasons ago (they run big). I think I've seen them in a lighter suede too.

I think the only thing exclusive to Barney's about them are the colors.
Coggles in the UK have some funky green ones too.

(Did you get your Bihars?)

 

[RFX45]

Yeah, got mine from PS but the brown ones from MilanClothing might take a while. USPS informed me that it hasn't even hit the U.S. soil yet. Hopefully by next week it'll be here.

Pics of the Oxblood Bihar with and without flash.

Fit pics, it is difficult to capture without natural sunlight so I'll post better fits pics tomorrow. This will do for now.

That is a drastic change between flash and no flash, which one would you say is more true to color?

 

[splattered]

^^Wow i like those more than i thought i would... not sure if i like em better than the Ricard or not :/

Whats sizing on these like again?

 

[DLester]

Yes those are the Achilles in burgundy--I like. I have them in brown and very much dig them.

Those greens are bold.

Waiting for PS to give us a deep navy dip dye, maybe a Chen or Nash style.

It definitely doesn't look as brown as the second pic and it isn't as light as the first pic, it has a deeper red. The fit pic on the left is more indicative of it's tru color.

I know that doesn't help but I'll try and post daylight pics tomorrow. The red is really nice and the dip-dye process gives it more character than if it were just a regular plain red color.

 

[RFX45]

New and better pic as promised, really difficult to capture the true red color, even in natural light.

 

[DLester]

^looks great. Do you wear a burgundy belt or some other color with them?

 

[RFX45]

Nah, I don't have a burgundy belt. I'd probably just wear my brown belt, it has somewhat of a dip-dye effect too. Close enough with the shoe color.
