should I just pull the trigger on getting YSL Harness boots?
So I rlly want to get boots that have a similar design to YSL Harness boots.
There is story et all with similar designs and a bit cheaper in the 200-300 range
Then there is also From The First boots who are much more similar than story et fall, and in the 400-500 range and both
Should I just find an authentic YSL Boot Harness? Cause I think they are in that price range used but then again they are cemented shoes and not stitched which is gonna be concerning down the road

Imma let u know I’ve gotten so many alternatives back in the day and each time I wore them I wish I had the actual thing. So if you can afford it I’d get the real deal
really you had similar shoes to the YSL?
Not specifically the YSLs but other pieces
ah ok like what? im curious
GAT alternatives Common Projects back in the day
Few others I don’t remember
I recommend fromthefirst, especially if you are particular about details like exposed zips
ah ok
I have a pair of their lucas and I'm happy with them, even in comparison to my actual SLP footwear
they are impossible to find in my size and the ones that is listed are inactive already and to buy them brand new they are like 430+
and like i found a guy selling authentic YSL ones for 450
like I might as well right?
the one thing with fromthefirst is that the leather is noticeably more stiff than on actual wyatts, at least in calf. to me that doesn't outweight the things I don't like about 'real' SLP boots but that's a more personal decision
what size are you?
13 or 12.5 on a good day
oh that might be difficult
yep
but eh its fine
also kinda random but are the heels rlly that tall?
like compared to a regular chelsea boot?
generally they're 40mm tall
if you're near an SLP boutique i'd recommend trying a pair on although they might have to order in a pair in your size
yeah its like a grand tho
but its fine for now
I found a guy selling one with my size for 410 bucks
I don't mean order to you I mean just ship in a display
Oh
ok
yeah yeah I should try that
I've told them I don't want to buy stuff and the guys at the boutique I usually go to have had stuff shipped in for me to try on anyway
ymmv with that though it probably depends a lot on where you go and if they know you
I have 2 pairs of the ysl harness
I think ftf has some unique offerings
You can get aftermarket for reasonable prices I think
yeah esp since ftf doesn't do returns a lot of people size wrong and put them up new in box on grailed
so if you wait a bit you can get them for like $300-$350
but their highest size is 46 so that might be a non option
thanks
