Bass Fenmore Weejun (Gilt + Coupon)

[villanovaadam]

Does anyone have information on the made in Maine Fenmore Weejun line?

They are on gilt right now, and I got a promo code knocking an extra 30% of, bringing them down to $140.

I've heard they're made by Rancourt. Is this possible, if so ... can someone enlighten me on rancourt sizing so I can insta-buy these? Im a 10.5-11 in AE. Should I size down to 10 or will 10.5 be okay?

I have a pair of Rancourt and from the looks of it, they are exactly the same in terms of construction. Surprisingly I am also the same size as you in AE. My 10.5 Rancourt is perfect with socks and slips a little without. I ordered a pair of 10D in wheat for these. From my experience, CXL is fairly soft and will stretch with wear.

I saw you post on SF that you bought them and they arrived - what size did you get and how did they fit? I'm still on the fence because I'm not sure if I should size down (or whether I need another pair of shoes...)

I can tell you for certain even at $200 you won't be disappointed. Definitely Rancourt in my mind after comparing them to my roommates pair.

As far as sizing, I usually range anywhere from 10-11. At the 10 - 10.5 range would be sperry's clarks db/wallabee's. And to the 11 range are my AE & TBNYs. I usually size up in dress shoes for a comfortable fit and so creasing doesn't occur on the cap.

As to the fit here, I went with a 10.5. I was concerned at the time about heel slip as it is a pet peeve of mine with any loafer. And one of the main reasons I size down in sperrys to get a tight fit. The 10.5 provided me with almost a perfect fit. 11 would have been too much shoe. If anything these are a bit loose in the heel, a bit tight in the toe box. Feel free to PM me if you need any more advice.

I wish i would have seen this when they were on gilt. I have been eyeing them for some time. Considering these LL Bean Signature loafers as a cheaper alternative.
