PS, fellas – Dansko professional oiled will be THE MOST COMFORTABLE shoes you'll ever walk in. And guess what ? They're unisex...available for Men too. They mold to your feet and age beautifully. I wear these in a Narrow...the Standard are simply too wide and floppy for me. They're great for rainy areas like The Bay Area, because they're totally waterproof. They're the only shoes I took to Europe and they protected my feet in London while trudging through snow and rain ! I've been wearing them for years...and it's difficult for me to accept other shoes into my life because Dansko professional Oils are so good-looking and comfortable !
Zappos sells em for guys and gals and they're only $115 ! To use Lando's words "Don't knock em til you try them". Have you noticed that I've been stealing many of Lando's musings lately ? :

If you want a pair, I know a guy who can get brand new ones in Germany. My last pair cost me 75 € portpaid. My mate also bought a pair cause he also loves them. I've given a worn pair to my brother, and have 2 pairs left for myself (1 for work, 1 clean pair to wear outside).
These are on SuFu and SF a lot, if you want a cheap(er) pair… I took some more pics of my own pair. I took out the original white inlay soles and replaced them with leather ones (as I always do). They're not glued to the inside, so it's easy to swap 'm fortunately.
Number on the tongue: 270 = the size (oddly enough). It's a 42, but it only says 270 (on the sole as well: 270 BW).

Many thanks for the additional pictures and info, Seul. I really like them. I am German myself so I wonder where he gets them from. I'm in Berlin when I am in Germany. I will try to find a pair locally. Have had bad experiences when trying to buy shoes on a good luck system over the net. And I really loathe sending them back. What's his source in Germany?
Best,
Till

PS…Last night, I posted pics of me on SuFu ("Raw For Women") -- of me wearing IH301S and SEXIH03BK. (People on this forum have seen those pics before). Lots of women are complaining about lack of heavy raw jeans available, so I tried my best to convince them to try IH skinny jeans available at Self Edge, San Francisco. I noticed Kiya also posted, saying that he sells a "LOAD" of IH 301S to girls, that because of their skinny style and lower rise -- they work well for women. (I'd have to agree, Kiya !). Well, one woman has already complimented my Dankso's ! I'm telling ya guys -- hip women love Danskos ! PS. I think IH bootcut would also work well for women. I can't judge though, because I don't own a pair yet.

Cowboy boots probably look better DougNg, no doubt. But they're uncomfortable as fuck if you do tons of walking – as I do. I walked 12 miles in Oakland yesterday, just an FYI (Got caught in the rain during the tail end of my walk)...and I wore my new Clark Wallabees -- no problem ! I often wear Danskos, running shoes during my walks too -- supreme comfort is a must for me.
