+1 on J+O Toronto. Its a great shop with knowledgable and very friendly sales people.

Yeah, holts sucks. I've been in there 3 or 4 times since the fall and haven't bought anything.

Holts is terrible, but still better than Harry Rosen.

Nomad is one of the dopest stores on the planet. Donnell from Uncle Otis is a good dude.

Does Nomad have any kind of SF discount?

 

[chanimal]

no sf discount, but if your in the US, your mighty dollar is a discount in itself.

While I've only been to Nomad once, it is a nice (and small) store that has some very good items. There is also this shoe store a short distance away which I can't remember the name, sells Red Wing GT's for a mere $220 CDN.

WTF? Wish you could remember the name... the prospect of buying them at full retail makes me vomit.

Goodfoot is next door to Nomad, but I don't know if they carry GTs. The only store in the immediate area that I know of that does (and I live about a block from Nomad) is Get Outside...and they charge ~$290.

Is this the one with all the sneakers displayed on the walls close to the door and the Red Wings at the back? The $220 RW GT were around late-January to early-Feb...I haven't dropped by since.

Now that I think of it, I should have grabbed it then...sigh.

Yeah, that's it. It's on Queen W, about a door or two east of Spadina.

They were $290 in December -- I didn't realize they went down in price in January.

Nomad crushes everything up there
