      I tried to explain to my better half how I was left with no choice but she can't wrap her head around why I needed the same boot in a different colorway.

      That’s because your belt should match your shoes and you don’t want to upset the guys on the forum by committing such a faux pas. 🙂

      Just trying to help!

        @goosehd the kind of brilliance I have come to expect around these parts! All I could repeat was, "just look at that Shinki!" somehow this did not help

                        hi everyone. Had my engineers out for the first longer walk since I got them. Before I just wore them running some errands or around the house. Now after about two hours walk I noticed the right foot which was a little snug got better just while walking and I think will end up a good fit.

                        BUT I got a blister at the back of my right heel, what I never had from new boots. Should I be concerned about this? I think this is from rubbing against a small area of the leather which feels a little uneven and edged and is on both boots.

                          @FlavourFade I wouldn't worry too much as you are still in the break in process. Might try wearing different socks or wearing for shorter periods at a time until they are fully broken in.

                          One of my hardest pair of boots to break in (took the longest) are now my most comfortable because they are formed perfectly to my foot. I just had to be stubborn enough.

                            @FlavourFade 💯what D said. My black engineers are so comfortable at this point, they almost feel custom (literally smile every other time I slide them on) but in the beginning was vconcerned about the forefoot being too snug and if I should’ve went up half a size. At this point some rolls were developing and exchanging was off the table so I doubled down and wore em w a thicker sock (IHs engineer sock of course) and within a couple weeks, had noticeably more wiggle room. Definitely helps soften the blow w those early day friction points.

                              be happy you have the cxl 😂 the shinki’s are a complete different league. Very hard to break in . Almost quit when starting to wear them. But than came the day when they really started to mould and from than on it went better and better. Wouldn’t call them fully broken in today, but it’s ok to wear them a full day without any pain 😂 . Think they shinki’s need around 100-120 days to be great.

                                @goosehd @Flannel @Daniel-San thanks guys for the input! That sounds relieving. I'm just gonna wear them for shorter periods and break them in slowly.

                                  you can go to a gobbler to check those parts that cause blisters. maybe he can flatten them 🧐

                                    @Daniel-San good Idea, but I just realized it's the stitching on the back of the shaft, so all I can do is to wait for my foot to get settled like the left one. 🙂

                                            I'm still struggling with my engineers a bit. I tried different socks but now without the honeymoon phase I always feel pressure at my right pinky toe. When I wear them longer or walk faster it causes pain. The left foot is roomy and feels perfect. Will the pressure go away with break in? I think that the main reason is the width of my right foot.
