Hey, I'm a new member but I was wondering if you guys think that Nike, finishline or other stores (when chukkas become older/less popular or when something takes its spot) restock popular color ways like the midnight fogs and the deep burgundies and will go on sale? Or do you think they'll keep releasing new color ways and not constantly restock the older/popular color ways? B/c I recently just bought a pair of the midnight fog chukkas for retail and I'm still deciding on whether I should keep them or not.

IMO, keep the fogs. The difference in retail and sale prices is not worth the salty despair of missing out on a CW that you desire. Instead, revel in the majestic perfection of the pair that you hold in your hands.

Speaking from experience here.

Missed out on the Wolf Grey and University Red chukkas, not to mention all the other FK trainers, racers and L1s I've slept on.

Thanks for the reply dude, I appreciate it. You're right, I would hate to miss out on a cw that I really wanted. Also another quick question, in this thread someone was talking about steaming the toe box so you don't get indentations in it, would I do this before or after wearing the chukkas and then indentations appear? And do you actually put the iron on the toebox to steam it or right above it letting the steam flow on to the toe box?

how accurate is the color of this picture? I am seeing a range form dark red and bright orange when i look up pictures. 

These are a lot more orange in person.

Most retail stores dont carry anything under 8. I would say just keep checking eBay. Bought a deep burgandy pair for my gf just last week (sz 7)...and they were only $110

never tried steaming, and never needed to. My chukkas fit me perfect and I don't suffer from the FK elf toe disease. I would however, advise against placing direct heat onto the flyknit upper. The polyester will melt and turn shiny. It's like ironing polyester work pants I would think.

Personally, just wear em, and enjoy. Elf toe or no, I doubt anyone but the people here in NT will notice.

BTW, Owhat, the strength of that photo alone is making me highly doubt my decision to sleep on those FSBs. Really need some sort of discount though..

Thanks, man!  I hope you're able to find a discounted pair.  I think every chukka-head needs a pair of these in their collection.  They're so darn sexy!

 

[teivlite]

Those FSBs have really grown on me. If they come out with another with a neutral colored sole I'm on it. The volt ones I'm down with on discounted prices if they ever get there though!

My lace color is an off white color. Initially I thought they were stained or dirty lol.

 

[stoneytony]

Theyre platinum, like the tongue, heeltab and knitting
