Who bought RLPL Grants at the FF discount?

[Thurston]

It took a day, but I see the sizes are dwindling now. Anyone here grab them at 30% off?

Size 9 was out of stock when the sale began, as far as I could tell. Which doesn't really surprise me -- I can't think of a single major purchase I've successfully made through that site.

I plead guilty. Hopefully they'll fit.

Not even the Corben?

That wasn't a major purchase, that was a steal.

Can someone compare the fit of the Grants with the fit of the Mackays?

The fit should be near identical since both shoes are designed on the 888 last.

It really all depend on the shape of your foot, and especially your instep. I find that they fit differently because I have a high instep so monkstraps (or loafers) feel tighter than a lace-up, with which I can lace a slightly more open V and accomodate my foot's shape.

Thanks for the feedback. I have a low instep, so the Mackays fit pretty well -- I can lace them up with the two sides about 1/4" apart. I was concerned that the unusual buckle placement of the Grants may make them fit more like a slip-on than a lace-up, but it sounds like I should take the same size in both shoes. I've ordered already, and if doesn't fit, the Polo store is a short metrorail ride away for a return.

I think you'll be fine

If anything, you should probably try to pick up a half size different as well, try both on and return the one (or both) you don't want.

Just to add to those above me, I own both shoes in the same size - 9.5/10. The Mackay is one of the best fitting shoes I own. The Grant is a bit loose comparatively. Its the only pair of monk shoes I own and I wish I had sized down. YMMV
