I received my stantons today - sz 9. It runs small like the other RL shoes made in Italy.
Hell, I like it. It's a great deal for $69. It's lighter than I would want it so I'll darken it with shoe creme.

I received mine as well - sz 8. They run maybe just a little small. I am 8 on AE, and these fit (snug, but) perfect. I found them to be darker than in the pics.

I have offers @ $200 currently.

Wow ... $200+ ... sounds like someone could have easily made a killing by loading up the cart w/ these shoes (although Yoox only lets you buy two per order). I didn't think someone here would pay $200+ ... after shipping fees that's still over 100% profit

$200 is rather cheap considering a comparable c&j benchgrade from a discounter like pediwear will run you $450 without shipping.

Maybe they just needed to clear these out fast. A lot of us are cheap and I wouldn't have bounced on them if it hadn't been for the price. If they were $150 I would have been hesitant and at $170 or more I would have passed.

if you are looking for a brown captoe, then 200 is still a good deal. most people here probably dont need a brown captoe, and would jump on one at 79, but at 200 it would just be adding another one to the pile

Were these shoes C&J benchgrade?

Same here. Especially since I am not sure who made them

Oh no doubt, $79 is just silly, especially for reselling purposes. I wouldn't pay the $200 knowing that they were $79 a day ago and knowing that I missed the deal by going to bed early. It would be adding salt to my wounds!

benchgrade, at least. maybe handgrade. full leather lining, which is something ive only see on the most expensive of shoes

 

[ppllzz]

for reference: http://www.styleforum.net/showthread.php?t=23581 2+ years ago people were buying them for 160-200... certainly british shoe prices have gone up significantly since then, so i dont think 200 is unreasonable

If you got the Tellmans, man you lucked out. good job.

Stantons (MII) are a decent deal but remember these were all over ebay at $149 for months.

 

[Flimsychicken]

I'm sad I missed out on all of this.

If someone has the Tellman in 8.5D that they are looking to unload, PM me.

+1
Sad to have snoozed and lost
i'm looking for one in 8D... drop me a line if theres one to be had

 

[Nataku]

Got my Stantons today. Beautiful shoes - of course I would have preferred the Tellmans, but for $69 shipped for these and they're NIB, I cannot complain at all. They fit me like a glove too

Mine are gone, thanks.
