      Yep - too big.

      Mind you: I sized down to US8 (and even US7.5 in my next pair) for these… With the 8s I just put in an extra leather inlay sole and now they fit perfectly without socks... But I'm sure the 7.5s will be even better... In sneakers I'm normally US9... However: their US8s equal a EUR42... So yeah: look into the sizing chart a bit before ordering a pair, or buying one online!..

        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...

              They look like they lost a couple battles with several pallets. A spit shine might be in order…

                  Just ordered a pair of beefroll laoafers. I wanted to order direct from OSB but i need them before 6 weeks(estimated wait time). Got them from end clothing, even with the discounts it was expensive. i feel like its definitely cheaper for uk shoppers to buy direct.

                        Since shining came up - I thought I'd give you guys who are interested in keeping the vibram sole looking new, a tip.

                        Use a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser on the edge of the sole - brings it back to it's beautiful off white color with just a little rub.

                        Also - Seul - I love how you can see the oil of the chromexcel coming through.  You could even rub the scuffs with your finger and the oil will come through

                          I believe he's cleaned and treated them, unlike someone you know 😉

                                Read on Style Forum that both Loden Green and Black would be in the future…

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

                                      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!..

                                        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…

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