Okay this is probably just me, but I need to ask. Is anyone else having issues with the B+M web page? When I click on a model that I like, I cannot scroll on the the detail popup (for lack of a better term). Therefore, it makes it impossible to view the most important information like how much and what sizes are available. When I use the mouse wheel or scrollbar, it is scrolling the page behind the popup. I've tried chrome and IE. I swear it was working for me maybe last week? Anyway, it is providing me with much frustration.

It seems like their site is mobile-optimized to the detriment of everything else. Frankly, I don't find it great on a phone either. Hard, hard navigation (for me anyway). It's absolutely the only thing I don't love about B+M.

Agree completely...love their stuff, love Yenni's great service, but the site is very frustrating.

I have some all weather walkers bluchers I bought at Alden DC a few years ago. The left shoe has started making a noise that sounds like a wet tennis shoes walking across smooth tile. The only thing I have noticed is the rubber sole has come loose from the leather sole outside of the stitching around the toe box. Has anyone else experienced this?

Drove up to B+M a couple days ago to dial in my sizing before I preordered this Depano boot. They ended up having a pair in that was my size. Pretty nice boot. Looking forward to seeing how it ages.

Looks like B&M’s Navy chamois Indy.

Very nice! I have a pair in my size coming in August. If I didn’t, I would’ve bought a snuff Indy by now.

Although August is such a long time to wait....

Thanks man. This may be a no brainer but just a heads up - My Trubalance size is an 8 and with this being snuff suede I went down to a 7.5 in this boot for the right fit.

Sticking with only boots right now. Loafer season is just around the corner.
