Anyone seen this season's wingtip on a sneaker sole? I can't find them anywhere except Neiman, I can't even find their name. they are executed to perfection

can anyone identify these and tell me how they size in comparison to bihars? at first i thought they were bihars but they seem a little more solid in build. i do like the rubber sole though, already wearing my bihars pretty much every day.

I was doing some shoe dusting (thanks for the reminder KitAkira) and noticed how similar the
Bihar is to some Rag & Bone Grensons I have at least stylewise. I know it's a fairly common
style but I hadn't really noticed all the similarities before. The main differences being speed laces,
rubber versus leather sole, and of course the leather finish.

that arching seam on the side is a traditional design, I forget what it's called. The Paul Smith actually uses the seam, I didn't realize the RB Grenson was a "take" on it, they kind of made a faux seam.

Here's the EG version

for me it's the rubber sole that gives bihars more of a dress down workboot feel. i was wearing the ricards and yorks a lot but the practicality of bihars in a london winter really makes them my go-to boot most days at the moment.
i am very tempted by a pair of the psxtriumph on fleabay- anyone know how the sizing runs? i am 8 in a bihar... would these fit under the hem of a slim-ish jean? (apc ns, nudie slim jim, etc)

Of course no Ricards.

I will never score a pair.

I've ordered from them before so you should be good.
I ordered the grey Timurs so thanks to airportlobby for the code.

^ thanks to airport lobby, and thanks to you for the tip on US vs UK sizing.

BlueBee claims Starr runs 1/2 size small, can anyone confirm this? (i ordered TTS because from what i can tell, the last seems pretty narrow)

Starrs are narrowish but long.
For my feet they run pretty TTS. Maybe even slightly large.
I've never heard anyone claim they run small though.
