ive never been a fan of boat shoes at all, let alone with skinny jeans.

anyone here with cp's to comment on the quality?? for that price i would imagine they would be beyong awesomeness - have my eye on these:

[jf30]

i've got the desert boots and the achilles low, quality is great. i've had the achilles for over a year now and no problems whatsoever, leather is great and really easy to clean

[homme.homme]

hmm sweet. i think i will buy at least one pair from revolve this month. gotta love that free international shipping!

[home]

gotta hate that shit AUD!

[homme.homme]

woah! when did this happen???

1.00 AUD

=

0.820344 USD

[Tyro1]

it was under 80 last week homme!

[homme.homme]

wow. that is so shit. i havent been paying attention obviously.

[Tyro1]

I have been watching like a hawk... as I watch leather jackets in the US

[seven.homme]

i like the brown one for this model

^^^ ahah, dude, for the price, there are that many better options out there dress-shoe wise. not too mention the trademark numbers will throw off any formal/semi-formal look.

re. AUD, shit is so bad, should have pulled many more triggers when we were at near-parity a coupla months ago. dang.

[gobbledock]

i only noticed the exchange rate had dropped when i bought my shoes yesterday. fuck competitive exports, i want to cop for cheap.

[melvin7]

thx for the pic jf30. i dont know if i can pull it off hey haha.

whats even worse with the currency exchange is paypal. fuck their rates are horrid.

[jcotteri]

that they are..

paypal skimming off us again i reckon..??maybe not?

anyway as for sommon projects i would highly reccomend that you buy them online.. As for the quality, they are of course brilliant. As for the sizing. i would reccomend that you try them on if possible but they are between half a size and a size bigger than tagged. They fit similair to chucks in thickness and width, maybe a bit slimmer. the dress shoes fit a bit smaller than the same size tagged in the sneakers so i would heed warning there. ie. i could squezzzze me foot into a size 42 in the sneakers (though they are way to small) i woould not have a hope in hell of doing that with the dress shoes..

anyway i would reccomend them..

[jcotteri]

oh yeh btw boat shoes are really not that flattering..tnx

[oceanv1ew]

but having small feet sucks :< hardly anyone sells size 39... (never tried on a pair but they run big correct?)

Hear hear.

Any recommendation for insoles? The one that forms around your feet preferably..

Looks like I can use boat shoe (been considering too, hah) money for dem CPs instead. Quite keen on'em. Been hunting for shiny shuz and something to replace Chucks.

Yeah I just received a Meistercard recently, spendin' like crazy, and today realised I've been spending on shitty AUD ... Nuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu ... Paypal rate be about US$0.79 per Aussie krona

First time I saw the Anne Demeulemeester hightops from a couple of years ago in person I drooled on myself a little bit. Everything was leather, even the normally rubber band that runs around the shoe on chuks was leather. They were just beautiful, and at over a grand completely out of my league so I just put them down and pretended like they didn't exist. But now everytime I see hightops, even the CPs, they just doesn't do it for me.

[melvin7]

Hear hear.

Any recommendation for insoles? The one that forms around your feet preferably..

naw sorry man i hate using insoles rather not get the shoes rather than using those stuff lol

[melvin7]
