Rick Owens Mens FW11 Paris

[Pleue]

Soul Pill, that looks really good. And I don't think those boots look like uggs at all.

You've just got to pull the zip up.... I don't know how else to explain it.... The zipper is very sturdy. It was a bit tight the first couple of times (my calf had a small bruise the first time I wore them) but they soon soften up - i think i've worn them about 10 times now and they are very comfy.

Def good to know they work, still think I like them more half zipped

[Soul Pill]

Indeed, I have been mainly wearing them open

[morsto]

They are regular sole with a small heel, pretty ordinary. Which is just the way I like them. Indeed would be very easy to take to a cobbler.

Were these show room only or are they shown on pictures? I've totally missed them, but it sounds amazing as I really dislike the look (and feel) of the crepe soled boots

[Faust]

I saw them at RO in London. I could've sworn that I did not see them at the showroom, but they must've been there. I am getting senile.

[xeraphim]

Faust, these?

[Faust]

Bingo. God, I love it when someone makes a good, to the point post.

i have to say these work pretty well in brown reverse leather but i am not convinced by the black calf leather ones i saw. although the leather sole offers more longevity and a cleaner look i think the crepe sole embodies the essence of rick far more. with the leather sole this is just a boot with durability but no personality. just my opinion of course.

[Faust]

I think they are every bit as hardcore and stumping as the crepe ones. Sure, they don't look like they are hewn out of concrete, but don't forget that much of Rick's clothes is quite elegant.

[kunk75]

sadly, more true with each season

but don't forget that much of Rick's clothes is quite elegant.

[trentk]

thankfully, more true with each season

[Heirloom]

thankfully, more true with each season

haha, i agree. though i would've liked to see the gap between the heel and the rest of the sole be filled like the crepe sole, but on the leather version.

[BSR]

more elegant maybe, but the fabrics remain super cheap for the most part, plus the cuts are very unpredictable, tailoring is not Rick's strength to be honest... i agree with kunk on this (but won't follow his BBS path, the new saberi collection is even crappier than the previous ones, except for a few great pieces that are exceptions to a global catastrophic execution)

[Faust]

/\ lol. awesome. "global catastrophic execution"

[kunk75]

oh c'mon, when there's no food, gas or water, you won't have to go to the effort of tearing your own stuff if you buy BBS.
