Mmm…  Loden Green could be cool.  Was hoping for some suede but it'll be what it'll be.

[Seul]

And apparently a black version of the Oxfords as well?.. If those come with a Vibram sole, I'll buy my 3rd pair… No doubt.

The Styleforum thread is really nice!.. Good pics, and always decent input and people on there!..

@monday:

those colorways in the same styles that are currently available???

Not yet. Heard the Loden and Black would be in the Vibram Trail Oxford but I am not positive.

Yeah, minus the sizing questions. Not sure why those schmucks can't figure out how to size their shoes…

[Seul]

Remember how I had to mail George and ask him to go from 9 to 8 for me?.. I feel comfortable knowing I'm not the only schmuck haha…

@Seul:

After wearing them for 9 hours straight at work (meaning: all 9 spent standing/ walking), I found that these are the first pair of shoes that did not make my feet hurt (Grenson boots might be the exception)… Also: I just love them so much...

Might it be the sole unit Seul? I sometimes find the christie a little uncomfortable over longer periods

There is no doubting the quality and construction of upper

[Seul]

Probably is, Geo. Qualiy-wise: I think these'll last a good, long time (which they should), but I'll keep y'all updated, as I will be (ab)using these for the next couple of months…

Mailing/ PM'ing/ etc is all fine. That is what they are there for. Completely avoiding reading a thread with hundreds of pages of the same sizing questions and then asking it again….. IS STUPID! Not you Seul!

#2 but brown boat shoes.

hey, does anyone have any suggestions to reduce heel slippage. the front half of the shoe is snug, even a little bit tight but ive still got some heel slippage?

[Guest]

Only thing I can think of is to insert a second inner-sole or consider wearing thicker socks, regardless of the weather.

did you size down on them?

@SimonQ.:

Warning for everybody who thinks about the beefroll pennys. This trick doesn´t work on the pennys. Taking them tts made them way too big and the heel was slipping like hell.. so I think you have to take those a half a size down.

Simon.

wow, looks like cherry and natural? great colors though.

[Seul]

Damn those cherries!..

[a.khan12390]

yep they are sized down

[the-monkey]

The shoes are really incredible. I wore them casually for maybe over a month. Can't really compete with Seul.

think i have the exact same problem

[SimonQ.]

yeah, think thats a bit weird on those pennys.. actually i compared the heal on a 11d trail oxford and a 11d beefroll and the heel was wider on the beefroll. in combination with the missing  laces thats a serious problem..

George, how much is it to get a pair of Vibram Trail Oxfords resoled from you guys?
