Never thought I'd be doing this, but I might join the Wyatt club before it's too late. I'm usually behind trends by at least 2-3 years anyway.

I'm looking at some Wyatt zip boots. I wear 41 in everything, for instance, am wearing the SL combat boots (zips) in 41, which took some time to break in but are comfortable now. 41 SL classic low tops, 41 dressier shoes (John Lobb), etc.

Thanks!
I went TTS with my side zip Wyatts's from a few years back. They are black leather. They are the same size I wear in Chuck Taylors, if that helps.

Sir Grotius... def join the wyatt club... it is a great club. I recommend taking at least a half size, if not full size down from SLP sneakers. My sneakers e.g. SL01 are size 42, my wyatts are all 41 or 41.5... the 41 is a bit narrow on me, fit real well though after being broken in...

when you say 'wyatts' which do you mean?
Sounds like he wants the side zips. But good point, because I find the Harness's to fit tighter than both the Chelseas and Jodhpurs. The straps kind of keep your heel in place, whereas the Jodhpur has all kinds of extra room.

You are a 40+ or 40.5 in Wyatt.

Lol at the sizing advice being all over the place.

I think he meant the side zip 40 Wyatts, which I have a pair of, and wore today in fact. They are a size 44, which is what I have in 30 jodhpurs and 30 Chelseas.

Also, I'm sorry to hear that a member was disappointed with his order from ssense. I think it's an awesome store, and I love shopping from it...but they've always been terrible when it comes to packaging.

Boot collection as of now. Planning on adding tan suede Harness’s (I’ve never been a 40mm type of person, but I’d like to try) and black suede Jodh’s/Chelsea’s and hopefully that’s it.

Never dealing with ssense again...I got duped into thinking it was a good deal because of 60 off omg ssense sale

I’ll stick to what I know at Hermès lv Gucci

Where they handle your stuff with gloves and wrap it in a nice bow and box

Jesus christ man. Do you keep all your boxes and bows too, or does it get tossed in the garbage?
So it's a little disappointing, but ultimately if you received the correct item in new condition then just move on.

I personally agree with you, but you'll see a lot of people on the forum care a lot about packaging, and ssense is one of the worst web stores in this regard.

RE: the Wyatts, I meant the black side zips with medium (not too high) heel. That said, all the sizing and boot options gave me decision fatigue and I gave up! haha

I'll get back on it, really, because the newer boots look a little too out there for me and for some reason the Celine boots that I've been seeing in the previews didn't strike my interest, either. I don't like when the back of the heel of the boot juts out.

The average person doesn’t spend 1000 dollars on a t shirt...they make that in a week...blue collar dudes

So when I go into lv Gucci Hermès and they greet me and give me a soda and ask me to sit down and bring things in my size and tailor ****

I like that

**** they open champagne from the japs and ******** why can’t they do the same for me...shiiit

Call me crazy

But do you like to spend money somewhere and get treated like ****?

Ssense packaging is a joke...I could have gotten the same from a teenager in high school slinging high end clothes on eBay from his mama basement

I like when they handle my stuff with gloves bring me soda on a tray and ask me how my day was going

Oh and I keep my receipts and packaging because all my stuff real..no fufu

I got stuff in garages and storage that I never wore so if I want to get rid of it

You know where I got it from, the nyc high end stores here the proof

I don’t wear shoes unless they cost 3,000-4,000 dollars

They gotta bleed when I walk


Don’t talk to me about a slp boot on sale

I won’t stop until I have more pairs than Christian louboutin himself

And he gets them for free and I gotta drop bands for it
