Green croc St. C's Chelsea boot GMTO...

700



on a Carmina note, if I am normally 10UK Rain, would it be advisable to size up to 10.5UK for the suede string loafers--or would they stretch a bit because they're unlined?

I wear the same size in all Carmina. My experience (not that of others) is that Rain is a medium-to-narrow width. I recommend against sizing up.

The seams on the StC croc chelsea are very unattractive, imo. Just screams cost-cutting.

Those EB shell boots, though..

Interesting. I find the Rain last to be rather wide and somewhat short. I wear a 7.5 UK standard width on the G&G TG73, and the 7.5 UK Rain is much too large for me. I need a 7UK standard in Rain to fit properly.

I also find the Rain last to be wide. In dress socks, I am an 8 UK in Rain, 8.5 UK in Simpson and Robert. I wear a 9 UK Oscar with thicker wool socks but I would imagine I would be an 8.5 UK in the Oscar with dress socks.

@Leaves mentioned here and as stated on the Skoaktiebolaget website anticipated delivery is approximately 10 weeks. I would imagine the pay to play is the same as any other MTO which is half up front and the other half before delivery.

Oh, and if I remember correctly I think the delivery fee is something you pay for upfront in the first payment as well.

but the delivery is subtracted from the final payment if the shoe is more than 8000 SEK, to make it effectively free shipping!!!!!!!!!

Yep, that's when the shoe cost crosses the magic threshold which any St C probably will and as long as you chose standard shipping if I remember correctly.
