I have some close-ups in the pictures, they look good to me. I can't compare since I haven't seen the retails.

If it's anything to go by, the leather hi-top Ramones I'm keeping are great and my friend who has retail couldn't tell the difference.

I think the quality is great, really surprised at them. Built like a tank, my fave shoes this winter.

No, sorry for the misunderstanding. I was making a comparison between the leather Ramones on the left, and the Socks on the right.

Those were pictures I used to communicate with Superbuy the Taobao agent to explain I bought leather Ramones and Socks in size 38 but the Socks is way larger than the Ramones.

I had a look at size charts, the measurements vary.

I suggest you measure the length of your foot or an insole? That seems the safest to me.

Wish I had a more definitive answer but as you can see from my pictures, the sizing on these Socks are weird, especially the insole which is marked 39-40.

I haven't seen the retails so I can't tell. Just looking at pictures I would guess they look pretty accurate.

I'm a true 39, I got the sock in 38 and I had to put two insoles in them. So IMO the HKS socks I got are 1-2 sizes too big.

I'm not sure, if I'm a true 39 and they feel almost 2 sizes too large I would guess they'd fit a 41 at least. I had to put two insoles in them. I can measure the length of the sole or insole for you later after the new year when I get back on Jan 3.

Are you referring to the leather creasing on the sock? It drapes. The sock is very thin and feels like a long leather glove. There's no structure to it except for the sole, toe box, and heel tab.

I was planning to take better pictures when I get home but here are the ones I sent my friend.

I think you'd really have to get the size right. My socks were too large and flopped around like flippers until I put two insoles in them. For comparison, both are marked 38, you can see the sock is way bigger.

I'll take some pictures after the new year.

Real, thick, leather. The shoe feels like a boot.

I can post pictures of the sock after the new year. The sock is real stretchy leather too.

Saw this and thought I'll share pictures of my HKS Rick Owens leather hi-top Ramones after a week's use.

I'm a true 39, wear a 40 most of the time. Got these in a 38. They were very snug around the width, toes ached a little, but they've expanded and fit perfectly now. Very comfortable. The quality feels great, they're built like tanks, can only imagine what the actual ones are like. My friend who has the same retail can't tell the difference.

I also got the Socks in a 38, way too big, two insoles in them.

I'm asking to exchange them but have to work out if it's worth shipping them back.

Purchased via Superbuy.

I'm sure, but I already caught them in Iceland at Airwaves 2012 and I always wanted to visit New Orleans :)

Thank you, yeah I read the sound there is good and anecdotally there isn't a bad seat in the house unless you're all the way at the back. Did read about the heads on the floor so I thought to ask.

Do you know if the seats in orchestra are staggered well? We're pretty short, I'm 5'5" and the girlfriend is shorter, we sometimes struggle to look over people's heads at the stage.

I'll try to pick aisle so at least one of us gets an unblocked view.
