for various styles - not all currently have the Maine but restocks and asking nicely sometimes gets what you need
you don't often see much in the way of reductions tho'

Thanks for the links Geo, very usefull.
i did actually know all these shops except for Coggles, and i see they also stock the main guide boot!
I'll be keeping an eye out on any sale going on.

huh?

[Giles]

Well I had to go and buy a pair when I clicked the links

[Geo]

hahaha - cool!  what did you get?

for a minute I thought you'd lost a bet about your next collaboration . . . being Yuketen or not!

[Giles]

Well I have not actually pulled tghe trigger, I have sent an email asking about the width of the Yuketen Chukka Boot with Hunting Sole.  I have pretty wide feet and just want to make sure they are liely to be wide enough for me.  I'm a 9.5 c/e in Alden, so am hoping 9.5 or 10 will work for me….

[Geo]

unless you're a hobbit I think you'll be fine - I find them to be a very 'relaxed' fit

[Giles]

Cool - thanks

[Geo]

The Peanut Suede Angler Moc at The Bureau mock me…

[Geo]

yip - had oi polloi and the bureau on the earlier list

the angler is is nice (got it), but Mr G picked the daddy . . . go for the sport chukka. if i hadn't lined my pennies up for other goodies then i'd be in like flynn

[Giles]

Pulled the trigger on the 9.5's…....

[nameness]

My fault for not scrolling back.

I'm continually sad that the Suede Angler crepe soles I got from Inventory didn't fit right so I feel the need to make up for it…  and they have my size.

[Mich]

I did notice a lot of price differences between the stores and some of them grossly overpriced.
The trouble with overseas orders is that i always have to pay custom fees these days, and that used to be different, a year or 2 ago most packages slipped by them.
And that makes them expensive, buying from overseas i always have to calculate about 35 to 40% extra on fees… while they also charge me taxes in the country of origin, so i pay double.

Still contemplating on the main guide boot or the hunting boot, those crepe soles looks so good, but i'm affraid i'll find them crap soles when walking in them.
Unfortunately no chance on trying them out...

[Giles]

Where are you Mich?

[jacoavlu]

Epaulet in the NYC also has a few Yuketen styles: LINK

[nameness]

I think Mich is in the Netherlands but will let him confirm.

Shit…  now I'm between the Hunting Boots or Hunting Sole Chukka and I'm more than likely going to snag those suede Angler Mocs...

The irony is that these are made less than 60 miles from where I live but I have to buy them from another continent.

[Mich]

@Giles:

Where are you Mich?

Yep, the Netherlands it is! 

It's also such a shame most retailers only stock whole sizes, like half sized people don't exist
