an IH boat shoe?  Something about that doesn't sound right, I'd guess a special trench boot or moc boot.

A boat shoe would be cool but I think I have a good idea what it could be

You have insider knowledge…..

Gotta post this pic here. From my wedding. Such a sweet pic of the trench boots!

[joesaintjohn]

What an awesome wedding. From the picture earlier, you two look very happy and pretty badass together. Plus, any woman that lets her groom rock boots during her wedding has gotta be a keeper. Well played, sir, well played.

[ohighyo]

Thank you, after being together eight years it was time to shit or get off the pot. And ya, she's awesome

I woud ask George for the definitive answer

[ohighyo]

I measure a 9.5 on a brannock scale and wear a 9.5 in oakstreet with socks. My boat shoes are 9 so I can wear them without socks

[tigerpac]

Ask George, but for what it's worth I measure a 10.5 on a brannock and wear a 10.5 in their oxford without socks.

We measure the same. Have you any Vibergs perchance?  Trying to verify that 9D is my size there.

I can get a great deal on navy vibram trail oxford but, really want navy crepe sole trail oxford, thoughts on both of these without socks with shorts? originally was going to get the boat shoes.

[tigerpac]

^That's the real beauty of them, they look good with shorts no socks or jeans, even cuffed jeans.

IMO, I feel like standard boat shoes don't look right and get overpowered when wearing cuffed jeans but are ok with non-cuffed.  Just a weird personal preference.

Peanut Suede Vibram Sole Trail Oxfords Ordered!

[SpaceGnome]

I measure a 10 on brannock and wear a 9.5 trail oxford.  I think his general rule is .5 down from Brannock size for a snug, but not constricting fit.  Of course, personal preference should be considered above all, but when I got the same size as my brannock, I was swimming in them.

Really dig these!
