Lendo 1,901,681 Posted February 23, 2009 I hear you man, i'd been thinking about the boots or the 2 eye mocs. The Quddoy bluchers are nice too though. I need a magic 8-ball, some tea leaves, and chicken bones or some shit to figure it out. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gravitas 53,026 Posted February 23, 2009 I like the ring boots too JKISSI, not sure whether to go Quoddy or Arrow though. Here is a fit pic from SF member Bastorizer (I don't much like them in this pic): Anyone know of anyone that does custom mocs? I have an idea but I don't know if I have enough skill or time to make them myself. I think i'll call Quoddy or Arrow tomorrow. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yachtrock89 53,657 Posted February 24, 2009 I have kind of a hard time getting an image of what the Arrow Trail boot looks like in the back. I think as of right now I'm leaning towards the lace boot. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jkissi7 123,900 Posted February 24, 2009 Yeah the double ring ones there dont look too good lol , butI think they will look better on someone else lol 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Francis Xavier 75,627 Posted February 24, 2009 Are those the quoddy ring boot? They look way different. I was thinking about copping a pair. Also, who else has always wanted those Blue Quoddy Blucher's at South Willard. I'm wondering what other colors quoddy is willing to make on special order... 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eccles 90,646 Posted February 24, 2009 those are arrow ring boots didn't like the leather sole vs crepe before but the fact that they can be resoled changed my mind I did dig those blue bluchers, they also do a burgundy or any colour you see on their site and you can choose from a range of laces and hardware according to kirsten shorey who handles orders but they seem to get less responsive as each day passes I gave up on trying to get a custom order 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Francis Xavier 75,627 Posted February 24, 2009 Ooooh, burgundy would be very nice. I've noticed that they're less responsive. Maybe it's a good thing though that they raised the prices. As they blow up, I'd hate to see bro's in quoddys. I know what sounds very snobby. Perhaps it's because... I AM! 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sjnv 26,805 Posted February 25, 2009 I have a pair of the Arrow 2 Eye Tie Mocs coming, basically the low version of those sweet Lace boots seafinch has. I'll post pics when I get em 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mad_dye 5,266 Posted February 27, 2009 Just pulled the trigger on the arrow bush boots (I filled in the order form on their website, that is). Are there any customization options ? like choice of leather color ?? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seafinch 909,477 Posted February 27, 2009 ^^^ They'll call you to get payment and then you can ask them. That's when I asked them to put the crepe sole on mine. What are your plans for the soles? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mad_dye 5,266 Posted February 27, 2009 I think I'll get the double leather soles... I really wish the crepe soles were resoleable, but it sucks that they aren't. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seafinch 909,477 Posted February 27, 2009 i think those will look better with the double leather soles anyway. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bill2 60,186 Posted March 4, 2009 xposted from a few places....but approriate here nonetheless My new Russell's have arrived! Been anxiously waiting for these.... They are the fleece lined knockabout, customized in dark brown Chromexcel leather, with an added instep strap, on a cushion crepe sole. They are fully fleece lined, like ugg boots, but look like regular russell engineer boots from the outside. They almost feel like cheating, they look and feel so good... 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bill2 60,186 Posted March 5, 2009 ^^amazing boots, but when will you wear fleece lined boots in LA?! They're surprisingly comfy as 3-season footwear. The reason surfers in Australia like their sheepskin boots year round is that, like wool, sheepskin allows your feet to self-regulate their temperature really well. The idea is that the sheepskin's natural wicking properties keeps your feet dry, and all the air that circulates around inside the shoe serves as insulation; keeping you cool in summer, but warm in winter..... Or so says your typical Ugg marketing exec..... I also have nerve damage in my feet that make them a little fussy when it comes to footwear.... These are just obnoxiously easy to wear. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mad_dye 5,266 Posted March 5, 2009 Got a phone call from Arrow today afternoon. Unfortunately, they didn't agree to make a dual tone boot for me. That and Bill's boots convinced me to get boots from Russell Mocs instead. I changed my order to the canoe mocs 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
