Yuketen

[barun]

anybody know if these are available with a different sole or if a different sole can be thrown on them?

@LandoCal126:

Hey all. Just got these last week for a seriously good deal. Not sure about them yet. Have 30 days to decide, but would love a little input. I would most likely be wearing them with chinos, slimmer jeans, cuffed jeans, etc. Prob not stacks like they are in these photos. Thoughts?

Black Johnson Oxford…

Those would look better once they've got a bit of wear on them. For some reason, though, these particular shoes coupled with the slim fit jeans are emphasizing the length of your feet. I've never liked that look. (Definitely more noticeable head-on. They actually look alright from the side.)

Lando, not rocking my boat - which is probably a good reason to like them…...

They look cool with vintage wear - the short toe cap harks back to 40s

[nameness]

Dunno Lando, kinda flat.  Maybe post pics with something you'd wear them with.  Seems like they'd weigh down chinos…

Thanks for all the comments folks. I have decided to return them. They are not wowing me in any way so they must go back. That and I could use the money. Oh well…

Oh don't worry I did! Waited up until 3AM for the sale, site crashed, went back up at 5AM, at which point I refrained and closed the computer. Luckily for me, my size is cleared out… Have a few odds and ends in my cart but will most likely just pass on them.

lol…I kind of did the same thing with those chuckxhideout´s...waited for them to be sold out in my size...sheer willpower

[Geo]

the best yet imo

tan oil-pull upper - white razorwire sole

[madmonday]

i was just looking at those earlier today & wondering why wasn't my size available & why are the blue ones so different.

looks like a well worn shoe 

[Geo]

seemed to take a bit longer to break in than usual - the leather is really heavy, but very supple

not sure what you mean about the blue version (not actually seen them) but think i said elsewhere on the forum blue (and green and red etc) leather won't perform the same way as natural coloured oil-pulls

[madmonday]

these are the blue ones i was talking about

Different shoe, look at the stitching.
