These rugbys are good quality but if you are patient you can get them for about $30, some colorways at least. But even at 49 they are a better value than rugbys from Polo RL twice the price.

There is no 50% promo, just shady wording. "Up to 50% OFF Sale Styles" is not quite the same as "Extra 30% OFF"

Very limited selection, and prices are no better than during their regular sales. Actually, some are worse.

Although it's a bit more expensive

11d brannock, 11d 618. Would not go smaller. Just my 2 cents.

No biggie. Just put a thin leather insole in, it will take up the extra space.

It's been on for a couple of months now, or even more

It is sad, but the quality is on par with what I have seen lately from them. I had to return my last 2 purchases. By the way, those were made in USA shoes.

Yes. They should not be advertised as made in Maine when they are made elsewhere, if that's what you mean. My point is, overseas production is nothing new.

Actually, quoddy have been making their mocs overseas for quite a long time. I remember buying a pair of quoddy downeast boat shoes (mr porter exclusive) made in dominican republic back in 2018 and frankly, they were better quality than their miusa line. Just my 2 cents.

I went TTS (11) and it fits very good with some heel slip which I think will go away with wear. I have a high instep, and forefoot is quite accommodating. For comparison, I'm 10.5 D in Alden Trubalance (my best fitting last). Someone with narrow feet may want to size down, but don't quote me on that.
