Stacy Adams Chukkas.

[Jeao007]

I just recently bought these Stacy Adam Chukkas http://www1.macys.com/shop/product/s...xx.esn_results These are my first pair of Chukkas and I was just curious as to how I should wear them. For example, should these be worn with jeans? Chinos? Any advice welcome. One of my friends told me they were hideous (although, he wears old sneakers and ripped jeans all of the time) Along with any advice you could give, what are your thoughts on them?

I was looking into getting these in brown let me know what you think of them and how true to size the fit is.

[Jeao007]

I usually wear a size 11, but I had to get these in 10.5. Although, it seems like every pair of shoes I own is in a different size. Your best bet would probably be going to the store and trying them on.

[Jeao007]

I decided to pair these with some darker colored jeans. You guys think it works?

[MagM]

Looks great to me.

[greg_s]

Absolutely. If you wear them regularly I'd be curious to hear how they hold up over time.

[pete_hoetjes]

Try to see how they compare to the ones from Quantum of Solace at beginning and end. I hear they cut into your heels?

[Jeao007]

These are a tad different from the ones in Quantum; the Stacy Adams Chukkas look a bit narrower. And yes, they do cut into your heels. I ended up getting a scab on the back of my left heel after the first few times I wore them, but they break in fairly quickly after a few wears. Super comfy now.

They look great with jeans. SIDENOTE: SkyFall is official! Oh, yeah, I'm excited.

[MagM]

Me too! I was apprehensive but honestly I think Craig is an EXCELLENT Bond. One of the best.

[Jeao007]

Yeah, I'm super excited for Skyfall. Some pictures were released the other day from filming, and it looks like Craig will be sporting some Chukkas again.

I'm not racist/sexist/homophobic/whatever you want to call me, but having a black moneypenny and possibly Michael Buble sing the theme is making me think this could not be as good. And clearly this has to be a standout bond film, different than Casino Royale, much better than QoS.

As for the shoes, think if you rubbed the back of them with sandpaper, it would "break them in" for you? I'd feel lousy buying shoes that make me bleed.

[Jeao007]

Yeah, I bet sandpaper would do the trick. And I heard that Naomie Harris will not be playing moneypenny, but a "field agent" named Eve. I haven't heard anything about Buble singing, though.

What is is, just a rough edge that can be made smooth, or a real design flaw? You said after a few days it's ok, so I assume there's no lasting problem. For $50 at JCPenney, you really can't go wrong. Sure it'd be nice if they were 007's Church's...

[Jeao007]

I think it's just a rough edge that can be made smooth. Maybe if you get a pair, you hopefully won't have the same problem. Although, if you do, it goes away rather quickly.
