I have several saved searches in eBay that I look at each day. These are all for rare shell. I see a pair that came up tonight. Something that I’ve never seen before. They don’t fit me, but wanted to share with the group.

I have a pair in #8 and have seen a pair in Whiskey when visiting California this past summer...but haven't seen chukkas in Ravello (that I'm aware of). Thanks for sharing

The Shoe Mart also offered a Ravello Chukka Boot in June 2023…I’ve never seen the boot, but I did get the announcement email. Did anyone get in on that order?

This is @Thrift Couture. Really good dude and like me, a consistently inconsistent active poster. I’d reach out to him directly on this site if you’re interested as most SF’ers provide fellow SF’ers a non-eBay discount.

That’s good to know thank you. I have a search for color 4 - there is a brand new pair of LHS in 11 D - I wear an 11 E is it crazy to think I could stretch that D into an E?

Man @Markintosh, that’s a conundrum. I would love a C4 LHS. Unfortunately the answer is yes, it would be crazy to think you can stretch a D to E. The search continues…….

Did you see the pair that I’m talking about?

 

[Shawnc]

I didn’t but it wouldn’t show up in my search. About 3 sizes too large for me.
