I take it you aren't a golf fan? Very famous course in Bethpage and the site of numerous US Open's

I guess that totally gave me away as a golf doofus.

What is generally the cost of ordering stingray? I know it isn't super popular as far as exotics go so I don't often hear much about it.

I'd just received these StC MTOs a couple of days ago. I must say these are really excellent shoes, having not handled anything even remotely close to how beautiful these things are. Thanks once again to the great folks at SkoaB, and Gabriel in particular. There is a problem though, I can't bear to wear them.

Very nice, Congrats!!

Damn that is slow!

That is rare they are normally not slow for Midwest were are you located if you don't mind me asking you that?

Wow. I haven't ordered from Skoak in a while but USPS got to me in 3-4 days last time

Wow. I'm in North Dakota and all my orders have been 2-3 days (minus one that got stuck in customs). But even that was only a week... I've been shipping FedEx though.

Are you sure something's not gone awry? I was given an estimate of 8-10 days using USPS by our esteemed colleagues on this thread and it looks like mine will arrive at exactly 10 days (although I don't want to jinx myself).

Thanks Gentlemen,

Yes, I have often wondered if there was indeed something wrong...I was going to call them today and then after a week there was an update on the tracking number this morning...

They supposedly went through Oak Creek WI, which is about an hour from me...I seriously would have drove up there to pick them up if they had stayed there...the tracking said they were only there about an hour...

I thought for sure they would be here today to no avail...

^ The detour to Charleston is what screwed it up. I once shipped Priority Mail to Oregon and it went through Hawaii

I just got my carmina austerity brogues in, now I'm waiting for my carmina string loafers. (It's been a good week)

I know.

I look askance at every crease in the leather and haven't mustered the courage to look at the once pristine soles after wearing StC the first time. When I read on the G&G website that people buy Decos just to put them in a closet and admire, I guffawed. Now I get it. Kind of. I still could not resist wearing such fantastic shoes.

There has been talk of stingray, just thought I'd contribute




EDIT - posted wrong shoes before

Those are amazing shoes, and I love seeing them in the wild.

I eyed some blue Stingray G&G for quite some time. I could not quite see how to pull them off. Now I see how it is done. Well done, sir.

Alas, shoes (even very nice ones), are meant to be worn. I'm sure this pair will serve me well.

Good News: My boots arrived in my city this morning, I am foregoing the postman and picking them up directly from the post office as to ensure no further foul ups from them.

Thanks.

After my two deliveries from Skoak the USPS has sent me separately documents that got detached.

I'm glad that they got the package to me and the paper materials not so important I guess (just receipt, custom forms). Makes me wonder how they are getting detached or perhaps it's just part of the customs process. The attached letter apologies for finding the materials "loose in the mail or damaged by mechanical processing equipment."

At least the shoes made it in one piece, well two really.


I had that happen too recently.
Got my shoes no problem and then almost a month later received an envelope with the external paperwork. No attached letter or anything.
