Go .5 down from brannock size. I just got my beefrolls last week and they fit well. If I went TTS they would have been a little long and I would have most likely had lots of heel slip.


Sweet. Thanks

Got a follow up - any place to try these shoes on in person? Is there a BM location around nyc that sells?

Those sneakers look really nice. Be really curious to hear about pricing as well.


they were 200$ at pop up flea, retail is like 260 they said
I ended up pre-ordering the white mid tops.

hmm I just ordered beefroll suede loafer in 11.5 but didn't know about sizing down a little.

I fit snug in AE 79 last without socks. Should I be worried?

Doubtful. Myself and some others on here go tts in all rancourt shoes and they fit well enough. If there is a noticeable amount of heel slip you can always toss in some heel grips.

Hey guys, first post. I'm waiting for my first pair of rancourts (a suede pinch penny) and have caught the bug.

I'm already looking towards the fall, and was hoping for some feedback from people with the Clymer boot. Would these work well/better with speed hooks? From what I've seen I'm optimistic its doable but was wondering if it was really necessary.

Of course if I go custom, it'll open up a can of worms, as that calf and rapello makeup (Frank maybe?) looks amazing. Was thinking maybe a spin on it with the chocolate bison and a dark suede... Options, options.

If you use Chrome, right click -> reverse image search:

@Joenobody0 is right. Nettletons in Pittsburgh.

I've been in there before and the owner, Scott, is a really great dude who is just trying to earn a living with his multi-generation family-owned brick and mortar shoe store in a city that has little appreciation for quality footwear. Definitely give him some business if you have a chance. He is as enthusiastic about footwear as any of us. Looks like he has a few Rancourt makeups that generously marked down.

I know @FrankCowperwood has been in there, and I'm sure he can confirm that both the shop and the proprietor have magnificent character.
