I wonder too if I could also fit a 8.5D in shell. But I do know their is no way I could go a 8D in calf after trying on the 8.5D, even though I also have 8D in shell. So that’s why I thought different leather also can effect sizing.

The calf will stretch more than the shell, so it is possible that after a while the 8.5 might be "too big".

For the win.

After 3 months of sun fading these two Color 8 pairs, my “Sunrello” shoes are at the perfect color for me.

The color is somewhere between Ravello and Mocha. A nice red/brown mixture.

Gawd. Those are perfect. I'd seriously have no need for rare colors if #8 looked like that.

Thanks! Brick+Mortar's slip on chukka on plaza. The usual model I see is on Aberdeen; no good for me

Beautiful! I think the Plaza last puts that shoe over the top. I was thinking about getting the TSM "Traveler" but the Plaza version looks even better to me.

When I’ve seen retailers pictures of the slip on chukka, I thought, no way. But after seeing your pictures, I completely change my mind!

Nice! I had these pre ordered but my size got misplaced on the order. Gonna be another 6-8 month wait now.

Nice on both fronts. I’m considering the navy suede version of the slip on chukka.

Who ran the cigar pct? Plaza? 360 or 270 storm welt?

I really hope it does stretch a bit so I could add in my heel inserts. I’m able to add inserts with my 8E shells right of the box. But for the 8.5 calf’s, it might need some stretching before I add anything inside.
