    FS: Rare Red Wing and Tricker's Chukka Boots (US 9.5 - 10)

    in supermarket

    Posted

    Two rare items for sale, both worn sparingly, with tons of life left in them.

    Paypal only, and ONLY to confirmed users / addresses. Shipping is U.S. only; Canada add $10, Europe $20.

    I've sold a number of items here and on the other SF over the years. My ebay id is franz_josef_land - 100+ 100% positive.

    1. Tricker's High Chukka Boot - SOLD.

    2. Red Wing Euro-only Boat Chukka - fits as U.S. 9.5 - 10 (sized as U.S. 9) - $100 shipped.

    Produced for the European market only, in limited numbers...this year this model wasn't produced. Leather is redwood colored, beautifully oily and waxy, w/ non-slip white boat sole. Worn occasionally, but not enough - hence the sale. Size is a U.S. 9, but fits as a U.S. 9.5 - 10, regular width.

    Zig Zag shoes. Info?

    I think all the discrepancy in sizing comes from the fact that they're obviously cheaply made, and the sizing varies. I have two pairs, both marked size 10, and one pair is at least a half size bigger than the other, if not a full. Both are fine though - it's canvas; they stretch. I would size down 1/2.

    Just got back from Steven Alan - about a 5 minute wait @ 3pm. Like doctorgnar said, if you want Steven Alan stuff - especially shirts and f/w outerwear - or metallic gold or silver Generic Man shoes, the sale is ok, although a lot of the discounts are only 30-40%.

    Otherwise, skip it - there's almost nothing else for men.

    Shoes that look better with age...

    Thought NYers might be interested. From today's UrbanDaddy (yes, I know, it's a terrible name) email.

    No matter the economy's direction, a gentleman knows that certain things are always a prudent investment. Perhaps chief among these: a superlative pair of dress shoes.

    Of the same mind is Leffot, a high-end men's shoe boutique opening today where a Christopher Street toy store used to be (no, not that kind of toy store). This store has a formidable purpose—it aims to be your one-stop shop for some of the world's best men's shoes, side by side, all in one place and at your disposal.

    Owner Steven Taffel offers a knowledgeable but unpretentious approach to some very serious gear. He's hand-picked just over a half-dozen of the world's best shoemakers and assembled their work on a solid ash table in the center of the dark, stylish store—so you have the rare opportunity to hold an Edward Green in one hand and a Pierre Corthay in the other, and compare a Church's English with an Artioli (trust us, that's a good thing). Even better, Leffot offers shoes available for the first time on this side of the Atlantic from acclaimed makers Aubercy and Gaziano & Girling.

    And if none of the above is special enough for you, you can work with Steven to create your own customized pair (come on, you know you want to).

    After all, economic cycles come and go, but you only have one pair of feet.

    Spring Courts @ Karmaloop now

    in supershopper

    I have a pair of Spring Courts from a few years ago that I love, and are true to size. However, I recently ordered another pair from Revolve, and they seem to run about a half size big. Not sure if this extends across the line. Also, FWIW, the quality on this new pair (which I think is from their Spring Court USA line) is shit - I'm sending them back.

    $1500 is pretty tight if you want to live in a 'name' neighborhood in Brooklyn, but that said, you could probably swing a decent place if you can look pretty intensely, and have long enough to look...i.e. 2 - 3 months. Hard, but not impossible. If not, look at other central Brooklyn neighborhoods - Prospect-Lefferts Gardens, Sunset Park, Midwood, Kensington, Crown Heights. All the Queens neighborhoods mentioned + Jackson Heights are worth checking out.

    Some advice:

    - Have your and your roommate's credit reports printed out, and copies of your driver's licenses, and carry them with you.

    - Carry cash (discreetly) for a deposit.

    That way, if you're lucky enough to find a deal you feel confident in, you can jump on it.

    - Check shop windows on main streets and around subway stops for listings.

    - Most outer borough neighborhoods have a local paper. Buy it.

    - Take photos of each place.

    - If you like a place but are uncertain about the neighborhood, check it out at night.

    - Google the landlord.

    - Always get a receipt.

    At the end of the day, where you work, go out, your friends live, and what you want from a neighborhood are as important as the apartment itself.

    Good luck.
