A1923 / Adiciannoveventitre (Augusta)

^ I agree on some counts, but I think its quite well established that with a couple of models they have simply strayed too close to existing designs.

when the cut is precisely the same, stitching is similar, zipper placement is the same and even the leather grain looks almost identical.. I wouldn't only blame this on "all shoes look alike".

agreed, although the ccp pattern there is basically a standard for that type of boot.

Augusta sizing

Anyone know about how Augusta size 9's fit this season. Do they fit large or small. I normally wear a CCP size 10, and am interested in a shoe at A, but it is a 9, and I cannot determine whether it will fit my size 11 foot? It might, but I have no reference here in LA?

Any thoughts?

Have you checked Lazzariweb measurements?
They have an european estimate for the SS09 models.
They're all a bit different in size depending on toe shape and such.
Would say myself that most of their size 9 fits an european 43-44.

If the toe is "pointed" they are generally bigger/longer.
Which particular model are you interested in?
Think that a CCP 10 is considerably bigger than an Augusta 9 though.

has anyone here got fitpics of the augusta cordovan shoes or can report on how the curve towards the front looks? I really love the shoes but I'm not sure about the bending thing towards the front. On the pictures it looks kind of awkward.

Again it's depending on the particular model.
They got a new, introduced i think FW08 with a rounder toebox.
Imo the curve on that model isn't as pronounced as in the pointier ones.
A:s website has pics of the lace up with canvas and leather.
That's the more rounded toe.
And also the curve straightens quite a bit with a little wear.
They can look... clowny when new.
The brown stripey high lace up with an "overlapping" ankle part is more pointy but not as pointy as the lace ups from earlier seasons.
Complicated
I'd say if buying Augustas, go for lace ups.
If wanting derbys or side zip boots go CCP.
They're in the same price range anyway.

yeah I was thinking of these here and was actually just wondering if the bend goes away with wear and if there's a fit pic floating around somewhere.

^That one's SS08... Think they stopped with that square tag at the bottom lace after SS08.
haven't tried those on, but sizing for that season is fucked up.
Got 2 pairs size 8 from that season and they are totally different.
Very very nice leather treatment that season and those are much "pointier" than they look. On that pic they look bulky but are quite sleek irl.
That's the best i can do.
Have seen no fit pics of that particular model.
Your pics from A, so just call em and ask?
Also Lazzari have some more pics of derbys, but not same season.
Good luck.

no, at least some models from SS09 have had the tags as well.

[Trebre]

^ OK...
Haven't seen one as of yet that's all.

We are the same size ... Dont do a 9 , Could not even get my foot into the back lace 10. Should be ok in the laceup boots though.
The Red reverse are sick!!

[jcotteri]

[Fuuma]

The new stuff is great and very diverse, both in terms of colours and lasts/models.

[jcotteri]
