Hi justin, is sizing for the ravenna tasselled loafer same as the laurelhurst model?

yes it is the exact same last and sizing....only that the Ravenna being suede won't feel as restricting in the beginning

Recently got the Tacoma in grey and I'm happy I did.

Sizing:
I'm an 8D on the AE 5 last, and with my orthotic inserts I have a bit of a gap when lacing balmorals. I wear a 7.5D on the 333 last. And I have a few 8D loafers on the 108 last that I can't wear my inserts with (but fit perfectly without them). Have an 7.5 E (UK) EG F82 last and a G&G 7.5E (UK) on the MH71 last that both fit great.

Decided to go with the 7.5 size for my Tacoma's (the guide says it's an 8.5 US), figuring I wanted to get a closed lacing gap with the wholecut style. It's a little loose for standard socks, though with my inserts and a thicker winter sock, it's a nice snug fit. This probably relegates it to a cold-weather shoe, but I have enough warm-weather ones that this is definitely acceptable. That said, I think I'll size down to a 7 for my next pair or two. (Greenwood...blue and/or black...)

Details:
The shoe is great. I like the closed channel, though that's a detail no one else will ever see. I like that the "footprint" doesn't extend as far past the upper compared to my AE's. The bags are nice, and it came with a shoehorn and extra pair of laces, both of which I don't think I can have enough of. I like the shape of the toe, and it's refreshing to see a different medallion style compared to my AE's.

It's hard to say exactly why, but it just feels like a nicer shoe to wear compared to my AE's. It's not quite as drastic a step as going from, say, cheap shoes to AE's, but it was definitely noticeable. At the current price point, this line of shoes is definitely worth it for me. The style is nice. It's fills exactly the role I was looking for but couldn't find a shoe to do it anywhere else. Very pleased with my purchase.

If I had to find something to complain about, it might be that it has 5 eyelets, which made lacing a little trickier, but as designed, I don't think 6 would look as correct.

Service:
Justin provided some quick answers to inquiries I had, which was great. I placed my order on a Monday evening (US time), and had a delivery attempt on Thursday, which was a bit quicker than expected.

Verdict:
Will buy again, we'll see how the holiday budget goes.

Anyone got the Snoqualmie? I love J's work on these, they give the rugged boot a dressy look. I'm on the fence but would like to see them on someones feet/under a pair of trousers.

Thanks for the kind words re the Snoqualmie. That is kind of you.

I don't have a picture under trousers per se, but rather a pair of jeans. Not sure if they are slim enough to be worn under proper trousers. Would say that they are limited to casual trousers, i.e. jeans, chinos, cords, tweeds etc... only maybe under some heavy flannels..

Hope that this helps. No pressure but the brown pair is going fast if that is your intended color

FYI, my pair is a sample pair with different leather and silver eye hooks as opposed to the version for sale (just to show you the look of them on the foot)

Finally got my Snoqualmie sizing sorted:

This is a really good take on the classic mountain boot with it's sleek last and sole.
@stijn

I also ended up with a pair of the merlot Tony on sale:

I love them @anderz they look amazing, but just bought 2 pairs of carmina jumper boots, I need to wait until the better half has calmed down to order another pair since I have a fresh pair of double monks coming in as well...

What's the MTO surcharge?

What's the MTO surcharge?

It is £90 per pair (ex VAT is £75)

 

[The Shoe Snob]

What do you all think of these? Yay or nay?

Those are awesome. Would definitely get in midnight or as pictured. Not sure if I would prefer brogueing around the lacing as well.
