Not yet sure if I trust it but theres some really good prices on most of the colour ways if you're willing to use a forwarding service

Just checked through this website but this website is 100% NOT LEGIT.

I read the Q&A page but the Japanese is weird and doesn't look like it was typed by Japanese people + they only take bank transfer for the payment method.

There are so many fake online sneakers stores based in Asia faking that they are located in Japan but this one is for sure NOT LEGIT.

Once you make a payment via bank transfer, you'll not be able to get a refund so the store won't ship the shoes.

Just the heads-up!!

Yeah like it's already been said the place is fake so not sure what you mean by we can't tell it's fake. It doesn't look sketchy that's the point I was just asking people to determine whether it's fake or not thanks for chiming in at the end there not sure it was necessary.
 
It doesnt look sketchy?

Thats the same platform and layout every fake site has. Just look at the shoes, you can tell they arent authentic, and like I said, FSR is an automatic red flag.

Yeah thanks mate like I said its already been said anything else to offer?
 
Sooooo what exactly has been driving the hype for this shoe? They're already pretty expensive at retail and its getting tougher to find them at that now. Strangely enough, it was the 3M toecap on the FSB that sold me. It just makes the shoe look more technical, as it did with those Roshe's. Very New Balance-esque. The SFB sole was an added bonus though. Anywho, I put mine through the paces with a beach hike the other day. They're pretty capable on loose sand and gravel, but not something I would have paid retail to thrash (good thing I didn't). X-post from WDYWT.

I don't think it's too much of a case of hype. I think this is a case where the shoes are desired because they are comfortable, versatile, designed well, and come in a variety of appealing colorways. Although one can probably make the hype argument by citing the HTMs, it's hard to argue with the notion that these shoes encompass what casual footwear is all about .
 
I need a little help with sizing. My daughter wears a size 11 in women's but she doesn't really wear nike's mostly all stars. I was thinking about getting her a pair of chukkas for hew birthday in a few weeks. I bought her a pair of bellas dorenbecher free in a size 11 but they were too tight. I'm not sure if that style just runs small or if she wears an 11.5 or 12 in women's nikes. 

Anways I wanna grab her these for her birthday 

Which run in a mens sizes, just curious as to which size I should get her, or what similar shoe fits the same that I might be able to go to the mall and have her try on since they don't sell these locally.

 I think normally the size conversion is 1.5.  So you'd probably want to go with a size 9.5.  To me, these fit pretty TTS.  I'd probably go try on some Flyknit Lunar 1+ to get an approximate fit, but have her try on the men's Flyknit Lunar 1+.  If you want to be safe, go with 9 and 9.5 and just keep the one that fits better.

I'm thinking those converse sizes are throwing me off (and ugg boots they run big also) and she actually is a women's 11.5 , so I'm thinking size 10 in men's. I had her stand on a piece of paper and her foot is almost the full length of the paper. 

http://help-en-us.nike.com/app/answers/detail/article/size-chart-women-shoes/a_id/32253/p/3897 

According to this that would mean she is in the 11.5 or 12 range. Gonna try to order from finishline since I have a $20 rewards and a $20 off $100 card (hope it works on chukkas) anybody know a cheaper price than $130 for the purple/laser-orange/neon turqs

EDIT: Flyknits excluded from coupon codes, so cheaper than $150, they do have free shipping 

EDIT: http://www.sneakerhead.com/nike-lunar-flyknit-chukka-woven-running-554969085.html never dealt with sneakerhead are they legit?

If anyone is worried about size conversions, just look at the size in CM since that can't be changed. I.e men's 8 = 26cm. Depending on the shoe, a wmns shoe in 26cm could be a 9 or 9.5.
 
In case anyone is looking for General release chukkas Major DC in Washington has pretty much a full size run of every style in their store

I believe they charge $180 for each pair but if you are looking for a certain color this is your best bet

Do you know if they take phone orders and ship?
 
I just received my platinum/black Free FK Chukkas from End. Quick shipping. These are surprisingly nice. This is first Free version I liked. The sole sits very flat like the lunars (unlike the SP university gold where the toe and the heel lift up from the ground), and the black Free cup basically disappears. I would say these are about two ounces heavier then the lunar chukkas, but no more than that. The shoe is still very very light. A few observations: The Free chukkas have a very lightweight flat lace (not oval) with interwoven reflective zig zag (somebody posted a pic of that a few pages back). Also, for some reason, the tape and loop on the heel section is at least half again wider than the Lunar Chukkas and uses a slightly different and more striated tech ribbon style material. The loop is also larger, but lays more flat. If you are a lunar FK fan, you'll like these a lot. Very low profile and this color way looks ridiculously good in person. Obviously the footbed is not lunar, but the shoe doesn't feel markedly different. As far as color, I took this in very bright sunlight with some exposure compensation, so the shoe looks a bit lighter than it really is. In person, the upper feels a little bit darker overall than in this photo.
