[madmonday]

angry face deserved

[rocket]

[madmonday]

pictures over done

happy with these except they messed up sizing chart on Oi Polloi so these are all size 8s when i needed 9s or an 8.5s on a good day. oh & to add insult to injury got hit with a customs fee.  i'm a little upset at the moment. . .

just gonna have to roll up my sleeves & see what i'm going to have to do with Oi Polloi since my size is all f^ckin gone, 

[Beatle]

sucks..for some reason I missed the race stripe too much to pull the trigger

[Madame Buttonfly]

Oh, dear - you bought all three of the specials and they are all the wrong size?  That does suck.  Unluckily (or maybe luckily) they didn't do sizes small enough for me…

[Giles]

And Monday, you should get shit like that shipped here.  We can then on ship…...

[Finn666]

sorry for these being too small mate…but all 3 do look like serious business and damn great. especially the black high tops!

man that really sucks, what UK size did you order, usual a UK 8 is a US 8.5 to 9…

[madmonday]

UK 8, per the vendors instructions.  I blame myself cause I have an older pair & when I inspected them the sizing was not like the usual (meaning the UK 8 was a US   so on that pair I got a 9 and they fit well enough.  I contacted the vendor they advised of standard UK & US sizing & silly me figured they would actually look at the shoes to see if there was some truth to what I was asking.  I mean they have the shoes in question in the stockroom & it only takes two seconds to look at them to answer my question.  Anyway, it looks like they just answered my question without looking at any of the shoes.

& you are right G I should have went through you, but it felt too much like imposing & although I am nuttier than the Hatter I am not imposing, hahahahahahaha

Just think I would then have to ship back to you & I would still be pissed.  better it went this way

[Giles]

Monday, I am here to be abused…......

[rocket]

I really hate such things, as you said it is so easy just to check that the sizing is standart or not before you put them up online. So those UK8 fit like a US8, think I will pass on odering a pair, not really up on timewasting back and forth shipping crap at the moment or better said at all…
