Product Description
Working with a century-old factory in Naples, Italy, Founders Footwear makes luxury footwear with uncompromising quality. These are the captoe oxfords that founders Mike and Tipton always wanted but couldn’t find: timeless and universal without being boring Read More
Just picked them up. A little tight with my feet swelled but they said it'll open up to my size. Will try to break them in in the coming weeks.
There seems to be a hard spot under the ball of my foot. Don't recall this feeling when breaking in other Blake rapid shoes.
JtchinoyThey're still tight, but I can get around okay. Some significant creasing on the cap toe signifying these are indeed a half size too small. If I went for a 9 instead of an 8.5, these would've been perfect. :(
Mine arrived yesterday as well and that's nice. They were too small even with the suggestion based on my question below. I think 11 would have been perfect. Unfortunate.
Wow, my shoes arrived on 3/30 and they look awesome. They're instantly comfortable, fit as expected and not a stitch out of place. A full 2 week before the original expected ship date! That's really fantastic, great job guys.
Nolan.a.scottHey @Nolan.a.scott ! 9 will be perfect. Sorry to just to get back to you - based in New York so I was out and about by the time you wrote. Write me at info@shopfounders.com if you didn't make it in the drop, we'll sort something out.
Cheers!
You're never going to slip out of our 7. If actually suggest it knowing that Loake. That should be perfect. Give it a few good wears to break in - regardless of size - and I'm certain that'll fit right. Cheers!!
doji33Hey @doji33 - it's true to size on Brannock, but we're a standard D width. We've had customers have plenty of success in stretching the shoe out with their local cobbler to an E/EE, but it's only fair, in full disclosure, that I mention the shoes are made in a D width. Cheers!
I do not have any oxford dress shoes to compare sizes with. I do wear a perfect size 8 in a Thursday Boot Chukka but in casual shoes I wear a size 9. Any advise on a size selection?
Also interested, but concerned about sizing. Does anyone know how these fit relative to Allen Edmonds? Specifically, if I wear 8.5D in AE Park Avenues (sometimes think about squeezing into an AE 8, but I think it'd be a little too tight), would I want to get 8.5 in Founders or size up? Thanks!
