It really would of been a no brainer had I not had the northcotes, I am honestly thinking it over, but currently am leaning towards the riders and if no fir then oh well...

the only other discount that exists is the corp card and it doesnt stack with sales.

I'm thinking of ordering both and seeing which fit best

that might be the way to go. fyi, i sized down half a size. that seems to be the consensus on the C&J boot

I agree my northcotes are 10.5, btw if you don't mind what did then grand total end up being?

Lmao @ the .gif you made

you might be able to get another 10% - 15% off if you find someone selling BB store credit. there was someone in B/S the other day with a bunch in huge amounts

agree its a good deal, the only comparable thing would be the Alden x J Crew Captoe cordovan boots which you can sometimes find in the $500 range when J Crew has a 20% off coupon (+ any discount you can find from people selling J Crew credit).

but I think the C&J is a better color (not as dark as the Alden #8), the Dainite sole makes the boot more versatile, and overall the C&J is more kickass than the Alden version.

said another way, these things flew off the shelves went they went on sale for $600

If this matters to you at all you could just do a MTO Rider in a different color leather. Also, if it matters to you Rider Boots are blake/rapid stitched whereas the C&J Peals are Goodyear. Blake/rapid is a much stronger construction, for RTW shoes at least because there is a no gemming to break down as there is with RTW goodyear welted shoes.

Also, Peal's lasts are kind of ho hum in my opinion...

tbh, I prefer the balmoral Ryder boot better than the one you've posted. Maybe too formal for your style, though.

no no, its a great boot, but its way over $850 i believe, like over 1k, i was trying to get suggestions for 850 or less

For around $800-850 you can get the real hand made deal from Edward Green here:- http://www.edwardsofmanchester.co.uk...way-brown.html Sale price = 700 pound less VAT = 560 pound = around $810-850 per pair. Add to that a free pair of shoe trees and a $35.00 contribution to shipping and you have an additional saving of around $200 (the cost of a pair of boot trees at Skyvalet1) Sure, the Galways are brown, but they are pure class and it is $400 - $500 cheaper than Skyvalet1 in Washington and a toilet load cheaper than Leffot With the cash you save you could almost buy another Cordovan boot in any color you like!
