Dorje now you can put that $800 savings into clothes that will stand up to the boots.

 

[Caveat]



the boots are a 44

Oh, thought they were a 45. I think Dorje said he was 11.5-12. Maybe they won't fit and he'll just quadruple his money.

 

[Mr. Moo]

No way man, he better not sell those for ANY profit.

I just won these "Vintage Custom Made Boots", which was the title of the auction on ebay. Seller said he would offer a refund including shipping if they don't fit or I don't like them for any reason. I don't have any black boots (my brogues are up on ebay, they sucked) so I think I will get a lot of use out of them... I hope they fit.

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

This seller also has a crazy black leather moto jacket for sale he paid nearly $10k for at a charity auction: http://www.ebay.com/itm/261192302388?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

Looks like something a Victorian chimney sweep would wear.

Did your grandmother knit that?

If Dorje is a 45, I'm going to throw a bit of a tantrum.

 

[Dorje]

@Caveat, yeah it was an auction so I didn't want to say anything about them.

@dotcomzz, there never was an $800 budget for boots, I wish.


I take a 45 in sneakers and a 44 in most welted boots/shoes. I really hope they fit. I'm happy it turned out this way, but I don't have them in hand yet...

Saw them for sale somewhere on the net for $1400 new and used for $800. This seller did have 2 pair though and someone else got a pair for $99!. I kinda wonder if the seller is rich and just having fun posting them as an anonymous handmade custom boot? I guess that way some random guy (like me) who liked them but has no idea what he's getting would buy them.

Start crying.

Boots are a 44 but usually boots/welted shoes run a touch big, all of mine are a 44. There is a small chance these boots will be too small for me, but probably not. I hope not.

 

[dotcomzzz]

Whatever happen-ed/s you ended up with a brilliant deal congrats.

A-ha! No tears here. I'm a 45 in boots and 46+ in sneakers. Crisis averted, life goes on.

Carpes have a notoriously low instep. A 44 might even be a tad bit small

 

[Mr. Moo]

Dorje vs. Nil slap battle would be interesting.

 

[nahneun]

I bet my entire life savings on nil :foo:

 

[Mr. Moo]

Dorje looks pretty stout. I am certain his hands are larger than Nil's.
