Several links throughout this thread for the Farnums. The link I posted has the Dark Tan for a good price. There's another link for the Dark Chocolates at a better price than that in here too.

Best of luck!

Those Rockport Farnums look awesome!.......A very good Alden clone but in my opinion a lot more functional and cheap!

I have a pair of carolina huskers that I use. I tried to look up a link but it seems they dont make them anymore. :( If you can find them they are a pretty good 'close enough' boot.
Best Regards,
Joe

Here's a super deal for anyone looking to get a pair of Rockport Farnums ... I just ordered a pair (one of two pairs left in stock, wondering if I should have bought both 11Es)

Help with sizing on the Rockport Farnums

Post by churchman73 »

Does anyone have advice on the sizing of the Rockport Farnums? Can I go with my Nike shoe size? Thanks!! Great price on those boots!

I went to a nearby store to try on some Rockports, I found that 11E was a perfect fit for me, and I normally wear 11 (most shoes I buy are a little snug on the sides, but usually break in after a bit of wearing), and ordered the 2nd last pair of 11E from 6pm.com

Do not follow the size of your Nikes. I went a half size smaller and they were still to big. I am returning the Farnums I got in a size 11 and may reorder these in a size 10.
