fs: forum boot, very narrow, special order

[guitone]

Very nice, never worn, chelsea style boot. Paid $283 shipped to me from Nungar trading. They are a size 9 D, which should equate to a US 9.5 or 10B but they do not. They are closer to a 9.5A and would work for that size, or maybe even a 9B (I think this is maybe the closer of the two sizings), but they are too tight for me and I am not going to bother to stretch them if I can help it. I will sell these for $200 shipped in the Continental USA. Chestnut, French Veal calf. Please email me at [email protected] I will be out of town from 5/7-5/11. I should add that if they do not fit and you want return them to me, as long as they come back in the same condition that is something we can work out. Of course you would then be responsible for shipping both ways. While I do not post frequently on Style Forum I do on Ask Andy and references are available. Thanks Joel

Sorry to see it came to this, Guit. But I think it's the right move -- they just looked too tight for you. A good deal for someone else, though.

Doc, it is time for me to bite the bullet on this one...nice boots, I may try again.

I had a chance to try on a pair of RMW (plain Craftsman) whilst in the UK and they're certainly nice boots, though slightly on the casual side. They're on my (long) list though they've slipped a few places since I just bought a pair of Santoni FAM chelseas. I'm a UK9 so these won't fit me either.

These are much dressier than the craftman style, they have a rounder toe and a sleek look. The French Veal also adds to this look.

 

[chobochobo]

Yes, I see the differences. Call me a philistine, but I prefer the slightly square toe of the 'original'. Good luck with the sale; that's a bargain for someone.

I just got back in town and have had a small bit of interest and was about ready to list on ebay. Got a private message asking me to post pics, so here goes.
