Shoes that look better with age...

[rnrswitch]

i went a .5 down. probably could have pulled off a full size.

More importantly where did you get them? I don't think those are sold in the states. Are they the 2269s?

[Colin.Cosmo]

I don't think you get it cheep. Everything must be selvedge. Exposed selvedge coin pocket, selvedge accents wherever possible. IT MUST BE SELVEDGE!!!!! There is no "ifs," "ands" or, "buts" about it.

Chanting

Sel-vedge!!!!, sel-vedge!!!!!, Sel-vedge!!!!!

Just like "USA!!!, USA!!!! USA!!!!" Don't question it. Just fall in lock step.

Heh, I like this guy.

[sexlexcia]

they're actually 2970s that were resoled with a 2268 from the Redwing repair center. it cost 51.50

Thanks to sixsixtie for the heads up on these boots. They have broken in to be very comfortable. I don't know why the roughout on the left is so much "hairier" than the right, but I don't really care.

cool, where'd they come from?

[U MAD]

definitely daytons

[dkatz]

Just won these. Stoked!

The seller refused to provide more detailed pictures (what's up, underinformed consumer?), but I'm *pretty* sure they're these:

Don't hate 80% off retail....

So where are the pictures of Roy boots?

Come on people, I want to see what I have to wait another few months for.

[deferdum]

I see a pair of roy boots on Ebay.

[rnrswitch]

I will post some pics of these boots this weekend... hopefully. Maybe by then I will have cleaned up the leather sole to have a raw edge.

When's the new season?

Nice man those look really good. If I didn't have the wwII impression roughouts I woulda snapped up a pair myself.

1. jesus, how many "sizing issues" do you have?

2. do these all not fit you, or are you just sick of a lot of them?

3. how can you receive an awesome pair of shoes in the mail and NOT try them on...twice?

hurry up with those pictures.

[MDMusic]

They do not fit me well enough to hang onto them because some I have special ordered in the correct size. The seduction of receiving some of these awesome shoes can convince you that they fit "good enough" because the wait to try the next size on will not do. I am certainly not tired of them. The MF boot has wonderful leather scent and I will hate to see them go.

Dude I would not flood the market with these boots. You are gonna bring the value down a bit.

Anyways, for god sakes, what were you thinking? And if these are the boots you plan on selling, what boots do you have that you don't plan on selling?

And most of all, why the fuck could you not be an 8 or 8.5 D.

[choice]

Here's another of my Roys that I never got around to posting. The second run was a pretty big preorder, I know there's got to be more than a few roy boot owners on here that got em' by now!

Hold up there.... I usually wear an 11 C in Aldens and with some thicker socks I could use some more "cheaper" boots in my collection....

You just keep posting all the boots you want.... Cheaply...

[Rivet Head]

Flood the market! Flood the market! Daddy needs cheap boots!

Thank you for the advice. I hadn't thought about it that way.

My wife would say that I wasn't thinking, and taht I have a very addictive personality.

If these all were sold I would not be without. Once I figure out the loading of pictures I will take pictures of the ones I still have as I don't want to get a post "without a picture" it's a lie.

[joelz]

gah why can't you be a 10.5D!

[tobler]

I have a pair of little tank brand new for sale, pm me if interested

[MDMusic]

I have attempted to copy the pictures into the text with no success. Is it possible that I am not able to attach photos because I am new? Any help would be appreciated. Thank You.

[baldy]

shouldn't matter if you're new, try quoting a picture, and replacing the url with ur own pic

[Happy Hooligan]

make sure you picture ends with .jpg and not a bunch of other stuff. Plus you must post pictures to a posting site and not directly from your computer

[beatle]

thanks for that pic...not so big, if I remember correctly about 20 pairs ?

[glimmertwins]

I'm a 11.5/12. Definitely interested in the prices and photos although even at a severe discount I'm sure I couldn't take that many of those shoes off your hands in the first place. That's like 8g in boots!

[choice]

Only twenty pairs? I could have sworn that preorder was way bigger!

[rnrswitch]

From what I gather the Roy boot is actually on the trubalance last. i thought this preorder was on the barrie last, but Sam at context told me that my boots are on the trubalance last.
