Mine just arrived in Australia. I was a bit nervous about the dark brown museum combined with often unreliable MD colours. However, it is stunning and the fit perfect. I find with JF the generous width is just right for my slightly wide feet, without being too wide or sloppy. These are becoming my Goldilocks shoe brand. Because these are a whole-cut, the option of a lasted shoe tree would have been ideal, like we got with Carmina.
My copper museums came today and these shoes are cooler than a polar bears toe nails!
This is my second pair of JF through Massdrop and I must say it is a very underrated brand.
Can we get the monk straps next?
Just received my size 9E in copper museum. I was going wear these as my beater shoes to replace a pair of Eccos. So much for that plan. These are way too nice to wear in the rain and abuse. I really like these shoes.
The museum effect is less pronounced and they are darker brown than in the photos. Which in my book are both pluses. They feel a little bigger in the width and toe box than my Carmina Rain oxfords in 9.5E UK. They definitely have a more generous fit than my 9E UK Connaughts.
One week until the expected ship date, any updates?
Edit: Just got a shipment notification on the 26th so it looks like these will be arriving early, looking forward to them.
TheShoeSnobRIP, will those colorways hit your site anytime soon? Hope a new collaboration will drop here. It's starting to get cold here in SF and need some boots! Thanks for your time.
Just bought one at regular price prior to finding out this Massdrop. Ordering another color! This is like a Carmina in fit and quality, at less than half the price.
Help before this drop ends... My first purchase of the "real shoes" I am usually size 42, which would be size 8 UK size. I just measure my foot, it is slightly less than 26cm but a tad more than 25.5. I am not sure about the width... I am now ordering 7.5E will it good fit...? or should I go with size 7E. My foot width I just measure it... it is close to 4 inches or a tad higher than 10 Cm
Please advise
GBSGBSI dont know to be honest. 39.5 is a UK5.5/US6.5. You tell me that you have Lobb in 7 which is UK7/US8 and is too big and Berluti in 7 which I dont know if it is US or UK but I thought UK and it is too tight. So your sizing is very confusing to me. As you are just saying 7 but the different between US and UK is big. We have UK sizings and fit like Magnanni. So if 39.5 is too small thej you need 40 which is our UK6E.
