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

So what boot tree brand do you guys use for your PS boots? Anywhere I can find them on discount?

 

[wzjradam]

I usually just use the Woodlore ones that can be found at your local Nordstrom rack. It costs around $14 each I believe? Or you can purchase them online.

Are you talking about just a regular split-toe shoe tree? Anyone use the ones specifically made for boot tree?

Wow, that was not my experience at all.
I wear a 10.5 in Barrie and tried a 10US/9UK Freemont and it was too tight on me.

Wow, haha. It's weird because the Barrie last actually fits tighter on me. How can this be?

Just the regular split ones. I did a search for boot shoe trees and they don't look too different from the regular split ones.

I'm absolutely in love with the Cesar boot but because I want to order from overseas i'm nervous that they won't fit. I'm a 9 in Vans/Nike shoes but in dress shoes i'm roughly an 8. I was thinking about getting the 7UK in the Cesars and hoping for the best. Also, how do they age? I'm looking at the grey leather (not suede) and i'm hoping they age well as I want them to last a long time.

7 UK should fit you well if you're 8 US in dress shoes

Thanks! I ordered them last week so they should be here this week. I will report on fit and post some pics when they arrive.

Bought this brogue 'Chuck' this morning for $125.

Seems sturdy and well-made enough.

Also, Glenn boot is finally on sale at paulsmith.co.uk - only 30% off though, and only in black (sizes 6 / 7 / 9UK left):

Shipping is $10 to the US, but expect sales tax if they have a store in your state.. CA gets dinged for a big 9.25%.

so if i am a US11, what size would i be in these Paul smith, i am still unclear... anyone?

 

[pickpackpockpuck]

probably a UK9.5 (the zip boots tend to run a little large, in my experience)

That'd be my guess too.
Usually wear 11US and wear a 9.5UK in the zip boots.
