          Really like the shape and the leather / sole on these trainers.
          But what is with those huge ass lace hole rivets?
          Lowery please post a fit pic when you get them , Would love to see them in action too.

              unfortunately they didn't work out for me, I have pretty strong overpronation (my feet lean inwards) and some shoes accentuate this due to sole shape etc. they are really nice though, and should work perfectly for anyone with normal feet

              I was actually a bit skeptical about the giant hole rivets, but they didn't bother me irl.

                Thanks for the update, What started with initial dislike changed to keen interest and is bordering on obsession now , Gotta get my hands on a pair.

                  They are coming up a size smaller than usual too.

                    I tried an 8 which is the same I have in Augusta boots, and they fit fine length wise.

                      I have 6 in ccp derbys (yay!) and uk7/eu40 in various regular sneakers, chucks/vans etc. A sz 7 in these sneakers should be perfect right? High ankle, but lean foot otherwise.

                        I also wear an 8 in ccp, I'd say 8 = 8 in this case, the sneakers might be like 1/4 size smaller. can't say for sure how the fitment compares in size 6, though.

                        the toebox / the part above the arch on the sneakers is cut pretty low especially with the thick insoles they come with, so sizing up rather than down would probably make sense.

                            i am a classic size 43/uk9 - so size 43 in ma+, 9 in CCP derbies and most augutsa...this season i have found the augusta trainers come true to size, but the boots seem one size larger...i had to send back the size9 ankle boots for the size 8.....

                            trainer outsole length of size 9: 31cm
                            ankle boot outsole lenth of size 8: 31cm
                            ankle boot outsole length of size 9: 32cm

                            all my boots/shoes are between 30.5cm - 31.5cm depending on the shape of the toe, so both pairs of augusta are 100% perfect at 31cm.....

                            the trainer also comes with a very thick rubber sole with a thick corodvan lining....take these out and you get a bit more room....also very stiff and will strech over time......but 31cm is the length - hope this helps....coolest trainers i have seen for ages - i love them - and they are far more sturdy and chunky than you think...
                            you can't polish a turd, but you can roll it in glitter...

                              Not sure if we now need an Augusta (clothing) thread, but the leather shirt Pollyanna has looks killer. Anybody handled IRL?

                                Augusta has some nice leather shirt/jackets. Very thick and special hides, you'll hear more on this soon.
