Can anybody say how these boots (the non creeper version) fit?
11159644QJ-Black-f5d7df8c-.jpeg

I'm between 41.5 and 42 in nikes/converse and the 42 Tricker's chelseas I have fit slightly loose. Should I go for a 41 or 42 for a snug fit?

Also, how does quality/durability of RO stack up to Ann D or Margiela when it comes to boots?

Edit: replaced the image since the new forum seems to have lost the old one.

Hi everyone I have seen a pair of dunk island blood red on sale, size 9 (43) and from the looks of it basically worn once twice ( look brand new ). What do you guys think would be a reasonable value and what I should pay for them maximum? I know orlando bloom was spotted wearing a pair and they are no longer in stock in any sizes. If I could get any rough idea of what would be a reasonable price from you walking encyclopedias of rick owens knowledge I would be grateful. Thanks

I had asked about sizing of the spiral boots right as the forum was frozen for the switch. And somebody had answered my question in a pm, but that message was lost once the switch was complete.

I think they said that previous seasons boots fit large, but this season's are TTS, but I'm not 100% sure. I forgot who the pm was from, but if you're reading this can you confirm about the size?

I'm not sure what price range you or the seller is expecting. But in my opinion, a used Rick should not cost you more than 40% retail value. Let's assume that dunk island is retailed at 1,200 USD, average sale price is around 500, you can expect to negotiate between 300-450 depending on condition and rarity. You should also consider the sellerand your urgency to have.

Hey guys,

I just bought an astaire blazer and the arm sleeves are a little tight. Are there different cuts of the blazer where the arms are a bit bigger or is it something a tailor can possibly address?

Do you have a fit pic where you lift up borh arms? It's difficult to imagine but tailor might not be able to enlarge the sleeves without adding fabric or change the blazer's structure. Rick's pieces do not always work on muscular guys due to sim shoulders and sometimes sleeves.

Its not just the sleeve but the high cut armhole that will make it tighter. Honestly if you have big arms, most Rick blazer probably won't work.

Yeah, most of his clothes are not made for muscular guys, or short guys. It seems that he now produces clothes that will work for different body types, but you need to try on and check a lot before pulling the trigger.
