I'm pretty sure some are for sale on B+S. If not, I'll let you know if I decide the fit is too generous for me to keep.

These will be going back to the Chicago store shortly.

The Garran is a different story, this is a really classic boot, very nice, and the SC is a deeper brown than my McCallums/Darltons, so it fills a niche. I think this is going to be one of those deals that SF members will regret foregoing.


To each his own regarding these boots, but after reading your comment about the low sides of the Gifford, I compared the RL Chukka to the only two other chukka boots I have. The RL Gifford was 3/4-inch taller than the Alden Chukka and 1/2-inch taller than the AS for BB Chukka. The Garran is certainly a taller boot, but the Gifford isn't short in comparison to other chukka boots.

I wasn't aware trees were available for them or that RL sold trees.

Last update... the Garrans fit great. The Giffords are going back (only keeping one pair). They will likely end up at the Burlingame, CA Ralph Lauren on Tuesday evening of next week.

A big thank you to Ezra at the SF RL store who talked me into getting both pairs. Initially I was only going to order the Giffords. Highly recommended as a sales associate if you are ever in that particular RL store.

I still haven't found a pair in 13D.

I think I missed the boat on these shoes.
