TST Footwear

[Smokestack]

Anyone have any experience with TST footwear? Spotted some pairs on Oki-Ni but since they gouge you with shipping/customs, I never order from there. Ran across some on Yoox today for better prices and obviously better shipping. Here's a smattering of their stuff from both sites:




Thoughts?

I'm actually wearing a pair of their chukka/sneakers right now. Really comfortable, and interesting takes of pretty classic designs. I'd say that they are a "buy" at Yoox sale prices. They are definitely a nice change up from either Chucks, or your hipster friends Common Projects/Lanvins/Dior Hommes. The leather and suede used is quite good quality, and construction is solid.

LAGuy, I was wondering what the sizing on TST sneakers is like. If I wear a 9 in chucks and a 9.5 in most other sneakers, what size should i go with TST sneakers?

I wear a size 10.5 in Chucks, 11 in most other sneakers, but a 10 in designer sneakers like Marc Jacobs and Neil Barrett (for some reason, Italians seem to like to make their sneakers very, very, big in a given size).

I wear a size 10 in TST, which fit slightly tighter than my MJ or Neil Barrett sneakers, primarily because the toe box is rather slim. However, I would not size up to an 11. They are actually marked size 43, and I'd say that they fit pretty much like a size 43 in Common Projects.
