It's Mrs G's birthday tomorrow.  I was going to get her a pair of these, but when I showed them to her, she nearly threw up:

[Beatle]

lol..that´s too funny…tell P. they´re supacool

[Seul]

haha so they àre the same… Damn - how a different angle can make a huge difference...

[Giles]

Yeah, you see I love them.  Maybe I give Mrs G a style implant for her Bday….............

[nameness]

Those look a thousand times better on, very cool Beats!

FedEx just notified me I have a pair of Hunting Boots sitting on my doorstep, I suddently want to go home sick.  Ordered the Mocs from The Bureau yest, too.

[Beatle]

lol..as said - I wasn´t looking for any kind of regular shoe, I figured if I do Yuketen I want something that´s just a little bit out there…but I gotta tell you - these things are comfy and weigh like zero

[Beatle]

Yuketen week..looking forward to ur pics,nameness..and hell , Giles - tell P. she can switch her xmas gift (in pink) for a pair of those..maybe that will convince her

[Geo]

aaawww - poor Seul

maybe after you've been sick you'll get your taste back ( ;)) . . . those shoes are amazing!!!

[Geo]

. . . plus the world has gone Yuketen crazy

[Seul]

These come in black as well?.. What's the sole made out of?..

[Mich]

Beatle, you can make anything look good,
those are really awesome on you!

@bertoni:

M!ch be careful with the Maine sizing. I think Geo said he sized down half a size on those. Check earlier in the thread. Gareth at The Bureau Belfast also said the Maine ran bigger than the Hunt Boot. Do like the look of that I must admit. Would go with the Brown personally. When you gonna take the plunge? Don't think you'll regret it!

Oh thanks for the warning, might have to reconsider sizing again in that case and go with a 9 after all.
It also depends if E width is available, because i could also possibly fit the more narrow D width when i go up half a size.
I really love the cerise maine guide boot with the deerskin tongue, that looks so soft and comfy 
Don't know when i'll take the plunge, i'm also considering some other options (White's or Wesco in roughout on a Vibram sole) at the moment.

[Beatle]

Thanks …and I agree on the half a size down, they run a tad bigger than ur average sneakers...for reference - these are US 7, same size I wear  Alden and Chucks and RW - but Nike and Clarks and vans I need to get an 8

[bertoni]

Yeah I think it depends on the model as to how you size. Well that's what they told me at the Bureau. The Maine tends to run bigger than the Hunt boot for example. Best check with the shop first.
Dunno what's goin on with the yuketen craze…we should get a group discount!
They really do look SO much better in the flesh than in the photos. Fit pics show how good they really do look. Will post when I get mine!

Cool thanks for the sizing advice, i do wear different sizes in Alden and RW though.
In Alden i'm a 9E (or EE), RW 9,5E, White's 9,5E, Clarks 9,5 ,Chucks 9,5 and Vans a solid 10

[bertoni]

Beatle and G…they look incredible. I'm sure Mrs G will come round. Saying that my wife has yet to clap eyes on mine....looking forward to some sniggering followed by shouting when she sees the receipt...Think i've found a good hiding place for such incriminating evidence but you can never be sure can you?!

Maybe the difference in sizing between the maine and the hunting boot has something to do with the more curled up nose of the crepe sole.

I make a habit of hiding receipts very thoroughly

Mrs G is is in London.  I related the above on the phone a couple of mins ago.  Beatle she said, "what I meant by nearly puking was that they would look great on a younger lady"…...............
