YEOSSAL - OFFICIAL AFFILIATE THREAD

[Rimaarts]

Thank you! That's helpful, if only to further demonstrate to me that sizing for my first MTO with Yeossal will be fraught with uncertainty.

Seems like experiences have varied widely. Would you say you have an "average" instep? It appears that those with higher ones (generally) size similarly to Meermin and Carmina...

all I can say is, trickers have almost too high instep for me (I have 2 pairs) while crocket and Jones 325 tassel loafers I tried in store had painfully low instep... I have no idea if it's average?

Hmm I'm not experienced enough to say, based on that description but I do appreciate the input!

 

[Evacipator]

so the question for you all... compared to yc3.. does any last has narrower heel and lower instep so I could size up?

If you ask, Yeossal can modify a last for you that has a lower instep. It incurs I think a S$40 or so upcharge, but they can modify any last that otherwise fits you so as you are only making that single change. I asked about narrowing a heel previously and was told that was not possible, however.

Went out for a 1h walk... all I can say narrowness doesn’t bother me a bit! No break-in required for heel! Leather is butter soft and quite thin which is a trade off I think! Best heel cup I’ve ever had! However toe stiffeners took some skin off the top of my toe joints... I have a pair of meermin that does that even after 3 seasons, I’m pretty sure that means shoe is too short for me... however I really don’t want to size up because current heel size is perfect! I would really like sg65 for next pair and yeossal suggested wide fit same size...

Hi all. Can anyone shed some light about what the 'b' means on Yeossal's sale shoes. I am assuming it means imperfect but there is no further information?

My guess is, b quality, seing as it’s a sale/return..

"My guess is, b quality, seing as it’s a sale/return.. "

Would expect so too - you can see a couple of creases on the toe box and perhaps some slight scuffing on the side of the far shoe. Either scuffed in transit or simply tried on enough to start creasing before being returned.

Nothing significant. Nothing that wouldn't happen within a week of receiving them anyway - but I guess it's important to some people to be the one to do that to them.

Very nice! Unlucky to whomever those didn't work out for.

I had asked this to them on IG and they said "B means non-rtw range fresh stocks". I would assume returns fit into that.

not sure what it truly means, but if someone can buy it then I wouldn't have to F5 that page for 1,000 times a day

Just received my Thomsons on YSQ wide last. These were “MOD” not B. Meaning they had a modification. The heel cap is in a different grain leather.

Will try on after work.

It's nice when you've nailed down your size to be able to scoop something like this up

100% agree, especially with the savings on the normal upcharge for lasted trees, vibram insert, toe plates, and 3 day shipping as opposed to 8-12 week wait.

You definitely won here, no doubt about it
