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

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.

I know, we will see…

[madmonday]

just got an email with a new item & free shipping for today or something like that, sorry no access to photobucket at the moment to put up a picture of it . . . .

[nameness]

Yeah, newer stuff not really my thing.  All good though.

[Seul]

Are those 2 new shoes all there is?.. A bit disappointed if so, but on the other hand I have my 2 pairs of Oxfords I love to bits so… All good!..

[Seul]

Both after a 10 second cleaning…

[Guest]

Does anyone have a decent-looking alternative to leather laces for the oxfords? I forgot how quickly I run through them…

[Seul]

I'm def getting some spare pairs of laces from either Giles or George.. No way am I putting anything else in 'm!..

[Seul]

Weekly update…  ::)

[edwin]

They are looking real good Seul!
Can't wait to get my hands on them.

[Seul]

You have no idea how comfortable these are now… Really: after 1-2 weeks it's as if you're wearing gloves on your feet - gloves with a cushy Vibram soles...

[edwin]

Woah.. comfortable it is! By the way, do you even wear socks with them?

[Seul]

Nope.
