PSA: Thin-Red Line backorder pre-order... We're idiots

Totally understand their position though, this is my first pair of Sargents and it is a very good deal, any thoughts or suggestions?thanks

I'd actually be inclined to go 8.5G. I am a 8EEE in AE MacNeil Cordo and a 7.5-8G in UK brands including Church. A bit of extra length never hurt.

For any of those interested, I would keep checking the TRL website for returns. I just scored a pair of the black suede loafers in an 8.5UK which someone must have sent back.

I ordered a 9UK in my original order (which I found ran a little big), so if they don't fit, I will be putting them up here for sale.

I checked all the shoes don't see any new sizes.

I just wrote a script to find all available shoes and sizes and it will update to me every 15 minutes

FYI, there are 2 UK12 right now, but a minute ago there is a UK8.5, somebody was lucky

Yea, I was just lucky. My point was for other posters to go back every once in a while and just check. You might get lucky too. I can barely check email and you're writing scripts like that? Wow. Just wow.

Something like:

int qty = 0;
foreach (AwesomeShoe as in TRLWebsite.Saleshoes)
{
foreach(ShoeSize ss in as.Sizes)
{
if (ss.QtyAvailable > 0)
{
qty+= ss.QtyAvailable;
}
}
}
if (qty > 0)
{
EmailOnyx("Shoes available!")
}
else
{

}

I think they block the server where my script located

Thank you for your interest in our shoe stock levels. Unfortunately, your script is hitting the server too often, is testing product codes which don't exist and is going to find little of interest - we have had very, very few returns.

If you would like to be informed about returns on shoes, please contact [email protected] and we will try to organise something for you.

Best regards,

Lol, I don't think I drain that much of bandwidth from them...
