@pickpackpockpuck Probably too small but let me know how they ftt. I'm an 11.5, but I find sizing down a half size is the way to go with rick

they're 43. my concern is they'll fit a size big (I'm a true 43) like some of the other rick zips i've checked out. if I don't want them I'll let you know and you can decide if you want to try them out. if you do want them but decide to pass them on again, please write your name on the ticket I'll leave inside the boot so we can keep a running tally of how many SF members' hands they pass through.

might look better hemmed or cut at your ankles, as is they flare out a bit much


Completely disagree. IMO, thought needs to have that big break. Either that or crop them well above the ankles. Personally, I think that they look really cool as is.

These are nice. And I normally have an aversion to Rick.

I would go with a tamper on them so the break dosent look so wide. 


But they are supposed to be wide. Wide can create a draped effect that is impossible with narrow. I think that there is room for both, even in the same collection. For example, I have some pants from Cloak fw04 that have a 20"+ hem. The sister jeans from the same collection have a 13.5" hem. Both look very cool.

oh man, this thread makes me regret not picking up the Forme pants that Yoox carried last year. The hem had a 20" circumference or something

edit: forgot the 'not'

Same here. They're like the least Rick boots I think Rick has made, except for maybe the desert boot that's out this season. Interestingly they're called the Vaz boot, so maybe the design is all Vaz Rajan. Certainly looks that way from the profile. Yoox has the black version in brushed leather in an 11 if anyone is interested. They're not discounted much from the original retail though: http://www.yoox.com/us/44612838VF/item?dept=men#sts=sr_men80&cod10=44612838VF&sizeId=13 Looking for those I also saw that there's a TON of Rickdidas up too.
