How come Kunk? I was thinking of making it my second RO after picking up an Intarsia recently.

Raf Velcro Hi's. Black sole, blue leather upper.

Yay or nay? These would be my rainy day sneaks, easier to maintain that something white or another material I'd expect. Bear in mind I'm a sneaker freak so I'd rather wear sneaks than boots for everyday use and I won't be outside for long, just going to and from the car really. Can pick them up for about $280?

Im not 100% sure on the black/blue colourway but looking at that pic it seems a bit of a non issue. If there's a big contrast in real life between the two I may have to send them back. Brb, kopping. EDIT: Before I kop, Raf 40 is likely the same as MMM 41 as far as I'm led to believe?

in most cases, yeah

edit: long story short -- people with narrow feet tend to wear the same MMM size as CP/RAF size, afaik

Well I'm about as anal as it comes with shoe sizing and a 41 in MMM in spot on for me. 40 in CP sneaks is good width wise but to much room in the toe box, 39 is good length wise but too narrow.

So long story short I have fat, stubby feet haha. I just ordered the Rafs anyways; if they don't fit they can be returned.

SNS Herning Ornament, I'm a bit on the fence here.. I want it, but is it worth the rather high price?
