Spoiler: More Photos

they ARE yours! When I saw this pic on instagram I was thinking about you!

 

[FrankCowperwood]

Yup. Those are mine. I'd missed that Instagram photo. It's a good one.

What's the lace length on the Ranger Mocs? Has anyone done anything fun lace-wise? I've got a pair of Baxters in natural on the way, and I'm looking for some ideas, as I'm not a huge fan of leather laces...

Looking to replace my current boat shoes for this upcoming summer. Looking at Rancourt boat vs ranger moc. I am not a traditionalist on my boat shoes so I would do a custom job to get the camp moc dark brown sole if I went with the boat shoe. Either shoe would be un-lined.

The questions come down to:
1) Is the insole the same between ranger-moc and boat?
2) Is there a comfort/fit difference between the two given no-sock
3) Style-wise if these will be worn without socks and with shorts does the ranger work as well as boat style?

1) Yes. It's what I think is called a half sock liner. Perfectly comfortable. I have had it come out in one pair of loafers that have been pretty well abused (worn in the sand etc).

2) No for me.

3) I think both are fine sockless, particularly on a camp moc sole.

I'm a big fan on the Gilman Camp Moc for summer sockless wear:

This is like a hand sewn equivalent of a Galway. Fantastic design FC!

his boots look absolutely amazing but I am not sure I see the connection here. Outside of the use of mixed materials the two types of boots share nothing in common.

A recent MTO for comparison

 

[FrankCowperwood]

I think the comparison begins and ends at calf on the bottom, other material for the shaft. That's it, and I definitely had the Galway in mind when thinking of this mix.

Someday I'll get something really Galway-esque (not likely from Rancourt, of course), or perhaps even Galways themselves...

 

[rydenfan]

cool, makes sense. Again, I think they look fantastic and I'm sure you get some very cool fits with them

 

[FrankCowperwood]

Oh, no worries.

Frank & Jack - thanks for your input. The camp moc style just isn't for me right now. I'm just debating whether it's worth the $30 extra to get the boat shoe with the sole I want or just get the camp moc. Sounds like everything else is the same - just the styling (4 hole vs 2 hole).

Actually if you were to want a Galway you could hardly find a better time than now.

With the Pre-Order that Skoaktiebolaget is currently offering at the old prices prior to the price hike, at a 25% deposit for Pre-Order, and at the time when SEK is doing so poorly against the dollar, the time could barely get any better.

Hmmm. Thanks for the heads up.

No problem.


Pre-Order closes 23 February by the way.

Does anyone have any in-the-wild pics of the new Essex collection? I looked through the thread gallery but didn't see anything. Thanks in advance!
