Haha i have that in my dreambox as well. Lucky we aren't the same size!


Ha looks like a lot of people have these in their dreambox. Glad to know I'm not the only one

And artishard, it's CKC. Really nice looking for the price, full range of sizes

I just got this in a size too big and returned, now can get a smaller size that will fit. Should I.

Need a pair of minimalist black derbies and Rafs will have to wait until deep sale. These look like they have a really nice shape and I like the blistered (?) effect on the leather. Assuming they're high quality and potentially water resistant given the brand. Also, good price. Eh?


Those look nice, if that is the kind of thing you are after. And they are dirt cheap, and unlikely to get much cheaper. Get them. Yoox has el cheapo return policy, so you win win win. I hear that they run 1 size large but have no personal experience w/ that.

If you do buy those boots, take them down a notch by leaving the top buckles unfastened. The vibe is "I make my own rules."

Those look like they demand quite a specific closet.

Do you feel any of these resonate with you and what kind of stuff you like?
I know it's been said before but it looks like you just wanna get a pair of "high-quality" SF approved side zips.
Hold out until you see something that really catches your interest.

Reedo - If you like the look of those Raf's you might like these Church's as well.


Not that they're any less expensive but they look like a good alternative (maybe a bit more MCish).

Went looking for new Clark's desert boots and ended up finding these Clark's oxfords. Just looking for some shoes I can beat up and wear to a bar, etc. Yay or nay? If not, any suggestions?

I have MOMA derbies that look like those in every way but the lining. I normally take 42, but I ordered 41.5. Fit was a little tight at first but after a few wears they were perfect. The leather or waxed suede or whatever is not the nicest in the world, but it's really durable and at Yoox prices I can't complain.

Those are a bit bulkier, and a tiny bit more square toed it looks, two sorta big no-nos for me.

Yea, my MOMAs are like the most durable shoes I've ever owned.
