Thanks @Retlas - very kind and helpful. Yes, Armiger. My size and I pulled the trigger already. Old, but good price and look in good nick. Let's see when they arrive .... Really appreciated.

I love them… at the time we’re coveted by all. Great boots and can be worn casual or smart

Yep, looking forward to trying them on when they get to me. So, you still using yours after all this time? They wear well by the sound of it!

i do... but not regularly... perhaps 2 -3 times a year... i have too many to be honest.. so my grizzlies are on their 3rd resole... my newell's have done well. My old veritas folk are almost like new after 10 years. Not enough days in the week to wear them all but when the armigers were new... i wore them daily

Ha, love the "too many" comment. Me too! Way too many. But these just looked too good to pass up. I missed out on a pair a while back (on Rakuten), so I am glad to have filled this 'gap' in my Visvim Boot collection. Still, I think I really have to stop there ... well, until the next time .

Until next time are famous last words…

Talking about that "next time" I wonder if anyone on here has a pair of the 2011 Tabi Sashiko-Folk and, if so, whether they fit TTS? Thanks in advance, SF community ....

Don’t have the one’s from 2011… but think mine are from 2016’s spot drop. They fit half size big I found

Yes, have same. And a more waxy version ( kangaroo ? ).
Wouldn't mind a clever ICT release in these.

Thanks! Maybe it's just easier if you tell us which Visvim footwear item you don't own @Retlas ! Colour me jealous ....

Those armigers were heavily faked, as were the suede grizzlies and patrician mid released around the same season with the candy stripe tags. Handled em all at an underground market in Southern China. Honestly would be near impossible to tell, emixam and I discussed them being factory seconds, but who knows.
