Pf-Flyers or so was also an option IIRC

[Finn666]

do I dare say the toe cap is crap ?

[madmonday]

well you are a lot nicer than me.

that is an awful interpretation of an iconic shoe.  don't do it simonc.

if you were just sharing i do apologize hehehehehehehehehehe

angry face deserved

[rocket]

they are UGLY !!!

[madmonday]

pictures over done

happy with these except they messed up sizing chart on Oi Polloi so these are all size 8s when i needed 9s or an 8.5s on a good day. oh & to add insult to injury got hit with a customs fee.  i'm a little upset at the moment. . .

just gonna have to roll up my sleeves & see what i'm going to have to do with Oi Polloi since my size is all f^ckin gone, 

[Beatle]

sucks..for some reason I missed the race stripe too much to pull the trigger

[Madame Buttonfly]

Oh, dear - you bought all three of the specials and they are all the wrong size?  That does suck.  Unluckily (or maybe luckily) they didn't do sizes small enough for me…

[Giles]

And Monday, you should get shit like that shipped here.  We can then on ship…...

[Finn666]

sorry for these being too small mate…but all 3 do look like serious business and damn great. especially the black high tops!

[rocket]

man that really sucks, what UK size did you order, usual a UK 8 is a US 8.5 to 9…

[madmonday]

UK 8, per the vendors instructions.  I blame myself cause I have an older pair & when I inspected them the sizing was not like the usual (meaning the UK 8 was a US   so on that pair I got a 9 and they fit well enough.  I contacted the vendor they advised of standard UK & US sizing & silly me figured they would actually look at the shoes to see if there was some truth to what I was asking.  I mean they have the shoes in question in the stockroom & it only takes two seconds to look at them to answer my question.  Anyway, it looks like they just answered my question without looking at any of the shoes.

& you are right G I should have went through you, but it felt too much like imposing & although I am nuttier than the Hatter I am not imposing, hahahahahahaha

Just think I would then have to ship back to you & I would still be pissed.  better it went this way
