Re: Good finds



wow, i have my eyes on those boots, so are you saying that a size 45.5 would fit into those 44s?

Re: Good finds

I was just giving some personal input, but again you should go by the actual length and width of the boots for a better idea of fitting.

Re: Good finds

are you guys sure they really are carpe diem boots? I contacted the ebay seller, they said they measured apx. 12" long [which sounds a bit short] and also said no shoe laces are included, which sucks. They said no where on the boots are they marked Cdiem, but the original owner said they were. I am no Carpe Diem expert so any help would me much appreciated.

Re: Good finds

the cdiem lace ups i have, do not have any discernable logos or lettering saying that it is carpe diem. those who own the boots will be much more helpful!

Re: Good finds



Yes, Carpe footwear never has logos of any sort of them. Only the first year (maaaaybe second) footwear had a tarnished silver oval Carpe Diem logo in the arch of the sole. Since then, it's been all about construction only.

The silhouette, style, construction are all consistent with Carpe footwear, and the fact that they got a rubber sole put on them too helps boost the fact that they are Carpe.

But then again, I can't be 100% sure that they're Cdiem without touching them. It is annoying that they come sans laces! One would have to buy some thick leather and cut out a long thread in a circular fashion.

Re: Good finds



Why on earth would you take off the laces, thats what I cant figure out.

Any word from you Cdiem boot owners on sizing? 44 okay for a US 12?

[quote user="khiev"]I'm a 9.5US in most shoes but I sized down to a size 40, which is equivalent to 8.5US for my cdiem boots.

Size 40 is a US 7.5

Re: Good finds

cdiem sizing is odd- i think mostly because of the toe shape which gives a lot of leeway- i can wear size 40-42 in cdiem depending on the model. i'm a us9 so i *should* be a 42.

this rick owens blazer just make my heart tickle. threedifferent just added a bunch of stuff on her page.

Re: Good finds

I almost bought a blazer from threedifferent a little while back, but remembered that the seller doesn't mark items as gifts when shipping -- so, at the end of the transaction, I'd get charged up the wazoo in customs. EFF THAT!

Re: Good finds

i don't understand why he/she doesn't mark it as a gift. although i did get sent 250 records for a record i put out, and got charged like $16.

Re: Good finds

Not really a 'good find' as it is pretty expensive, but if I'm not mistaken, I remember someone was looking for this.

It's a damn pity too 'cos the laces for the cdiem boots have this wonderful distressed treatment to them. It's just not the same w/o them
