Got my Ls yesterday for the early raffle but I'm hoping I can hit on the general raffle. Shout out to the people who are ooping to other people in this thread I love it

Any help?

Take the insole out

Always a funny feeling having a bid that you basically
forgot about get accepted... I guess Patta 991’s are on the way!

Those always hit at the wrong time for me. Nice pickup.

Try wearing them around with thick socks or double sock to stretch them out, suede doesnt have as much give as leather, but they can still give a bit. Sometimes if you stuff them with socks or something compact for a few days it will also stretch out.

Did you go half size down on these? Usually 992's are pretty roomy

Suede is leather, just from the flesh side instead of the top side. It really shouldn't factor into how much it will stretch but the leather oz, type of tannage, animal, would impact how much it can.

Congrats to everyone winning! I of course did not. If anyone has a size 9 in green they want to let go I’d gladly take them

beat you to it !

Are you sure?

Thanks for the tip. Will try to stuff them with socks. I’m usually a size 11 and I’ve heard they’re a bit roomy, but when I tried them on it felt like I could use a bit more room.

Are you sure?

Before sneakers, I was into boots/shoes. I have shoes/boots made from cow, pig, horse, african antelope, stingray, reindeer, deer, moose, elephant, giraffe, hippo, bison, shark, kangaroo (all ethically sourced)
