this just came onto ssense, i like the colour but the piecing of the skins is annoying me, i think it cheapens the jacket....
what do you all think?

yeah agreed, looks too much like patchwork on the front, a bit messy.

hey there clarkda & debi -

First off, thanks for posting about the SS 2014 collection. I think it's FANTASTIC and love the video. Great relationship btwn the clothing/the cut AND how they moved their bodies! I'm so impressed with RO........

And yes, the skins on the mens jackets looks too much like patchwork. There's a limitation on how big of an area they can cover with the larger scales - but heck - it could be done a bit differently.

Great seeing everyone :p

thanks poptarts!

i have worn them several times since i got them and they are great! They are lightweight and very blocky, and it feels like you must lift your feet well when you wear them, so I refer to them as my 'pony' boots.

i had gotten feedback that the basic wedge (110mm) could be different sizing from season to season, but i got these off eBay and the seller told me they ran true to size. and these definitely do! i don't have a wide foot, but rather an average one and they fit perfectly, actually pretty comfortable for the height - the wooden wedge is very 'hard' though (as all wood clogs/shoes are) so I am investigating using a thin insole for the ball of the foot. i have gotten a tender spot on the ball of the foot by the big toe from wearing them today, but there has been no pinching so I suspect they don't run too narrow.

Thanks so much for the feedback! It sounds like those booties will be a great investment. theoutnet had a few but none in my size. Now the hunt is on!

Hey guys, can't remember if any of you have the flat biker boots? If so are they true to size? And do they look massive on?

These are the ones I'm considering.

I 've had those on my wishlist for over a year now! I think they are on the big side? Anyone chime in? I wear a 39,5IT and I think a 39 will do but I need others to help us out;)

hey _debi_!
My flat boots are the traditional/laced combat boots. The toe box area is rigid and pretty wide, so I sized down by 1/2 size and they fit great. I don't think they look massive on me. The overall shape of the shoe - from the ankle down - is pretty similar. Hope this info helps.

Here's a link to the boot that I have - they are available on The Outnet so you can compare:

Thanks guys!

From the sounds of it I'll need to size down a bit, which for me would be a 36.5. But I only see 36 or 37s available..... Maybe I will go for both and see if either fit.

I wonder if these boots ever go on sale, from the looks of it they sell out at normal price as there aren't many sizes left already.

Hey there -
I think it's a wise move to get both sizes and you're probably right about these boots never going on sale, esp. in black. Give us an update if/when you get 'em :graucho:

I was just about to, and then saw on L'inde le Palais you have to pay for return shipping.... that sounds like it would be a lot for a heavy pair of boots by courier. So I might just take the risk and go for my normal size 37 and hope for the best.... I found these which are very similar and The Outnet says they are TTS, so here's hoping!!

Really when I think about it I can't imagine a 36 would fit, especially since in the winter I usually wear two pairs of socks because my feet get so cold!!

I don't know about the sales, they sell out before the sales actually get there! Or the 20% sales usually exclude RO items:(
