I'll probably stop by over the weekend before my sizes are gone. They also had the shell blucher,plain toe.

Yea, I finally scored a pair of the Shell PTBs.

I've never tried them on. I would suggest getting your actual size and a half size smaller and returning one of the two.

I'm fairly certain they will ship it to you for $15 via FedEx.

Can someone post a pic of the shell PTBs?

Looking for something in a cordovan #8 ... does RL carry any shell in that color?

I doubt they do,all I've seen from RL was brown,which I like. PTBs aren't as nice as Darltons though.
Inter,are they the same price?

Yes, they are the same price as the Wingtips.

Just purchased a bunch of stuff. The Garrison blazer is included in the sale -- I got it at 30% off plus an additional 15% ($770).

Anybody have an online code that they are not going to use?
Please pm me.
Thanks.

I am going to give these a try one more time. Fit was a no go in May.

They're true to size in my experience. I am a solid 11 (with certain few exceptions) and I have the Darlton wingtip and the Marlow plain toe blucher both in an 11. I tried the 10.5 in both and they would have crippled me and would have never been worn.


As far as which to get, I wear them both. I tend to wear the plain toes more during the week with flannel pants and sportcoats and such and the wingtips more on fridays with cotton pants and on the weekends with jeans. I like them both.

A great pair of shoes there...I have a pair right now in my closet!!!

 

[SkinnyGoomba]

1/2 size large in my experience, so size down 1/2, or take bad forum advice and wind up with both a tongue pad, and a heel gripper.

+1 just picked up a pair today and definitely went down 1/2 size...

I checked a store nearby and they told me that only the Darlton Plain Toe was on sale and that the Wingtip was not.

Anyone else have luck getting the 40%+15% on the wingtip?

I think I will buy both my size and 1/2 size smaller to see what works, then sell the second pair or return them
