      Yeah but I suspect the Takeshi resole on this may have shrunk the size a bit though..  I'm 9.5 in RW work boots, made in US.  As I think I mentioned previously, he said they run fairly true to Brannock.  He said if you open them on carpet and try them on gently, and return em pristine, they'll take em back if they don't fit.  I am planning on selling mine here if they don't fit, and returning only if no one wants em. Fitting includes the option of an insole, so it's unlikely this will happen. I do not wear an insole with the MF and can wear athletic and thick socks comfortably. Perfect.  Thanks again nerkg!

      Think it, be it.

        Your RC's were modified to a stitch down right? I remember thinking that the resole did appear to have made them look a bit less roomy in the front so I would guess that the resole brought in the length and width just a bit.

                          I wear my boots like they owe me money and the CXL shows no sign of giving in.  The patina is developing like I never expected.  As much as I'd like to treat this pair with Pecards, I just can't get myself to interfere with the wear and tear I've given it so far.

                          This is all natural darkening of the Badalassi leather.  I'm sure it'll become even more rich with some treatment.

                          Just a simple man with a simple plan.

                                      Yeah that gradient from honey to burnt cinnamon as you move from toe to top of VEB's is making a strong case for that eh?

                                            I can't wait for the early adapters to comment on sizing (Tat, MC)  😉

                                            I am so impressed with what I see and read AND I am a cxl fan based on my experience with White's.  Hoping I might be able to squeeze into a 12 - if ever available again…

                                            These boots are just gorgeous.
