i have the lone wolf carperter with the cats paw sole and i love it. the white rubber sole vibram (if that's what you mean) might be a bit more comfortable as that cats paw on mine is pretty hard also the traction on that cats paw is horrible in the snow.

hey thanks man err are they true to size i wear size 9 on redwings.. should i get the same size? and the width on these how is it?

[LeicaLad]

If anyone cares, I was just down at Renners Boots in kcmo and they had a pair of Alden Cordovan chukkas in solid black marked down to $200 (from $550) out the door.

sizes 10-10.5D

Wow! Wish I would have known that last week. I was IN KCMO for some days. As I'm in Bangkok now, there's no chance to run down and snag 'em. sigh.

[ajds]

I just called Renner's in KC, they only have a 10.5 C left.

This Winter, I plan on getting some hunting style boots. I'll post some pics of what I end up with, but so far this is what I've picked out. Let me know if you have some suggestions. Thought you guys might be interested....

Quoddy Trail Grizzly Boot, Black American Bison

Russell Sporting Clay Chukka in Green

Yuketen Boots with Plaid Top

I would love these Danners too, if they ever put up the custom site.

[superBobo]

^^ very cool! Im looking for some moccasin boots myself, but other than Russel its kinda hard to find any..

regarding your pics... the first ones leather is putting me off, but shape is nice. Second one is all around cool. Third great shape , but the plaid is a nono (and will probably look horrible after winter). More info about the brand?

The Danners are ofcourse really cool aswell. Chunky as hell though.

[Roland]

^ Thanks for the feedback. I've been trying to find some Green chukka without paying a crazy fee for customs and I found the Russels. The 3rd boot is a company based in US. I guess the owner moved from Japan to the US to make these boots, which are actually made in Brazil. Here's the website: http://www.yuketen.com/

i don't know what kind of model these clarks are, but i just borrow them from my dad.

I picked up these "Steeple Gate" monkstrap wingtips from a second-hand store several months ago for $15. I love them, but I know next-to nothing about the brand. I imagine they're not super high-quality, seeing how someone was willing to let them go to a second-hand store - anyone know anything about them? (to see them with jeans, check out WAYWT)

[partytaco]

i wear a 10d/m in red wing and a 10d/m in lone wolf.

hey thanks man err are they true to size i wear size 9 on redwings.. should i get the same size? and the width on these how is it?

[edmond]

cool i wear size 9 d width on redw ings ill order the same size.. and maybe with the vibram soles..

[polishmike]

So did anyone see these at J.Crew? I can't find them in the store and I would hate buying them before trying.

[YoungPunch]

polishmike,

I think those redwings are jcrew.com online exclusives, not available in stores.

[polishmike]

Thanks, I didn't know that. I never had a pair of redwings so do they fit true to size? Is there a similar redwing model?

[aziz]

man i want some N.D.C. regents...

[edmond]

i think you go half size down or one size down i went with half size down on mine i wear a size 9.5 on dunks..but i got my rw's on a size 9..

[keyko]

i wear a 10d/m in red wing and a 10d/m in lone wolf.

[/img]

I wear 9.5 in both Indys and Lone Wolfs. I think we established that LW follows Indys/RW sizing.

[coleslawyum]

^^ keyko, in terms of comfort, which one would you got with lone wolf's or Alden's?

[edmond]

err guys need some comments pls which would be the best deal for the 3?

samurai boots dont know how much yet but definetely around the same price as the lone wolf's

next are the lone wolf's from sugarcane.. around 410 us dollars

or the bang for the buck RW's 130 us dollars

or any of you guys could suggest?

carpe diem? or a tricker? those are too expensive but my options are open..

[keyko]

^^ keyko, in terms of comfort, which one would you got with lone wolf's or Alden's?

Both are comfortable but in different ways. The Indys are heavier but their perfectly balanced weight makes them a pleasure to wear for long walks - it feels like feet are strolling by themselves. The LW are VERY lightweight - mine are on porous white soles - and very well-fitting but they are not balanced with steel chunks as the Indys. But both are extremely well made and will not disappoint by no means.

[keyko]

^ edmond - just bite the bullet and get yourself some N(N) unicorn skin boots.

[edmond]

hahahaha jesus is there such a thing? hahahah got pics of those keyko? hey keyko can you pic me up some stuffs oever at take5 when they go on sale? hehe cause vip's get additional 5% off on those Lonewolf boots..

[keyko]

Actually Benny just received a small shipment of baby-unicorn cordovan boots in black with rainbowish patina but - bad news - those will be only available to the Most Exalted 8-Level VIP Members. As per my record, you are 1023 pairs of Samurai away from that level. Sorry ;(

[edmond]

ohhhh man....

[coleslawyum]

Ermm… edmond, the samurai boots are like 900 beans.

But WTF, you can afford it…

[edmond]

whooaaa mama delete from the options.. hahahahh where'd you get that price list man?

[ajds]

If you order in the store they won't charge shipping- get two pair and return the ones that don't fit. I was thinking the same thing if I can get the chance.

Edmond, go with the Lonewolfs. Those RWs isnt really the same thing at all. RW 2902 has the same logger shape as the lone wolfs, but with vibram sole. Have seen them with crepe aswell on japanese sites though.

[edmond]

err whats the quality on those lonewolfs? are they way better than rw's? thanks bobo

[ang_kangkong]

There's a place here that might be able get my size in the 1905s, and it's the same price as the 875s with an emphasis on the might. The guy called up RW and they may or may not have it. I need to leave a deposit, and a size. If I decide not to take them, there's a percentage I pay for restocking. I already have the 875. Should I take a chance and order the 1905s?
