@monday:

oh lord, look at those things.

i want mine to stay crispy-like as long as possible.

I love 'm so much… Was standing outside of the depot with my collegue as she was having a fag, and she looked at my shoes and said 'It's as if they're different colours'... I explained the process and  went on to explain how this was the same thing with jeans... Pretty much felt like a nerd...

But yeah: getting down and dirty with these!.. No care!..

That degree of complexity is possible in Belgish?

[Geo]

Nope

[Seul]

I'm a get a court order so you 2 cheeky sods can't post after one another…

[Geo]

Nope - that'll be too complex for you as well

lays his head on his desk and tries to find that calm space…

Cleaned them a bit (took 30 seconds):

Frankly being lazy and not reviewing this thread…is the common consensus to size down one? Or is this too much if there is not a half size option available?

Ta much and excuse the indolence.

[Seul]

I sized down one on the blue Oxfords, half a size on the brown'uns… General consensus seems to size down 1/2 size...

[rocket]

Seul, how would you compare the two half down to 1 down fit wise?

[hectic]

ta man

[Seul]

Half down: put in extra leather inlay soles, wear 'm sockless, def not too big, comfy
1 down: perfect fit, no inlay soles, sockless

With sneakers and boots I'm a 9US/ 8UK/ 42€uro, but actually manage a 41.5 as well… Plus OSB uses a different sizingchart where a 8US is a 7.5UK and a 41€UR...

Anyhow: just downsize 1/2...

[rocket]

thanks Seul!

[Seul]

The 1 down on my behalf was me realising I'm actually a 41.5 €UR… So in hindsight I downsized 1/2 size on me 2nd pair... Just to make things clear...

[rocket]

thanks, all good, did not even decide to cop a pair, was just a in case of question…

[Seul]

Oh I will be posting pics, til the lot of you cave in haha

[zhivago]

Half size down worked perfect for me. So far I only have the boat shoe and am waiting for trail oxfords and  boots, I went a half down in both of those as well.  George is almost as helpful as Giles when it comes to answering your questions and damn it if his shoes don't live up to the hype.
