Thanks man, I got the ptb whisky and ravello nst

What tru balance was it in cigar? 10.5 feels too big for me so I didn't ask, edit it was an Indy boot but wouldn't have worked out anyways.

anyone know what sizes they have for the ptb in whiskey? i'd call but i'm expecting to get a answer like REguy.

So I just called the store and spoke to one of the sales guys - I got my hands on a Cigar NST on Barrie in 10D for $450. The curious thing is that I asked what the defect was that made this a second and he told me "these aren't seconds - they are closeouts. They are perfect brand new shoes." Color me skeptical, but I have no reason to doubt his word. We will see when they arrive. It is interesting that they are more expensive than the normal seconds price.

Folks should definitely call the store directly, not the 800 number. He told me he had boots in rare colors in larger sizes 11+ for the same price. Good luck.

Update...I called the retail number and got through. They got 20 or so pairs in. Various styles and colors. I snagged the last pair of 10s, but they have a number of cigar and ravellos in 10.5. I didn't ask about other sizes. I was told they are seconds, but that they looked through all of them and I wouldn't be disappointed (so basically they could pass as firsts). Price is $460 shipped. Good luck!

edit: nvm, got through and order placed!

 

[bespoken pa]

Took me 12 times to get through and all they would do is send me an email. There weren't any exotics to be found. However it's possible everything isn't on the list.

You have to call the Norwalk retail store, not the 800 number. Ask for Ed. Also, they only have sizes 10.5 and larger left. I was too late calling for my size...

 

[bespoken pa]

Just did nothing under a 9 FWIW.

 

[bkotsko]

I called, no 8.5d.

Thanks for the heads up. I called and nothing available in rare shell colors in size 13 or 14. It was still thrilling to go fishing, but got skunked! I did score several pairs of Rancourts on the BB Corporate sale this week!

See Ya,
Steve
