if these were my size I would purchase them, that badalassi leather is amazing. someone should get these

[superfuzz]

Wow those are the blue ones? They look really dark in the pics.

[tatmantall]

yeah, im not sure that they have only been worn a few times as the seller states but they are a great boot. Would be interested in seeing the work on the strap replacement up close but either way worth the money IMO

[superfuzz]

If they were the cognac leather if pull the trigger. Not sure how much I'd wear the blue ones.

[Bluegrass]

These look more worn than seller states imo, but I love the way they've broken in - gorgeous - amazing how the blue darkens up.

[SLAB]

how are they sized? TTS or half/full size down?

[tatmantall]

I sized down half from my wesco and road champs

[mclaincausey]

I went TTS but I have room for thick socks cos I live in the tundra. I also have an insole.

[mclaincausey]

There are some PRISTINE size 11 Baldalassi cognacs on eBay. $900 + $25 shipping.

Speaking to the guy for measurements right now… Wondering if can work with thin socks

[mclaincausey]

He posted some measurements in the description I think

[tatmantall]

Yeah but I need a wall to toe measurement to compensate for the Cuban heel. Heel to toe is worthless on Cuban heel builds

[Bluegrass]

tell him to give you heel to toe inside - i have my eye on some road champs but need the measures… good luck with those baldalassis.

[tatmantall]

1/8" shorter than my others… Don't think it's gonna work... Bummed. I want done cognac baladassis sooooo bad

[mclaincausey]

Bummer. No guarantee of a re-run since it's a collab.

[tatmantall]

Yep…. And john told me awhile back all the tanneries over there getting bought up by companies like Hermes so not sure if or how much longer the leather would still be available.

[tatmantall]

Spoke to mr. Lofgren again last night, engineers have been pushed back again to at least December  :-\

I wonder how bad it hurts to just cut off a small portion of my big toe ..

[Snowy]

Ask G 

[Giles]

A lot….
