      Conditioned is absolutely right Snowy.

      What was it Sapir said about fashion? "Fashion is custom in the guise of departure from custom".

      We all like to think we're completely unique in our choices and what we think looks tasteful, but try as we might, we're all inevitably drawn to wearing what is seen by our community as historically and culturally acceptable.

      Not saying we're sheep, but we definitely feel that pressure to wear garments that will appeal to our relative communities, and it's always a tension I feel when looking at something ("what will people think if I wear this around them?"). Maybe it's just me…!

        I just have always thought guys like James dean and Steve MCQueen looked to cool for school and have pretty much r&d been influenced by tht more than anything else. Especially in my community were every one shops at the buckle and wear jeans that have as many fleur de les as they could cram on em and shoes to follow suit. I guess the purpose if my comment was nothing more than. Face value statement, I don't really understand how I went from being head over heels for the 310 last to feeling like its an eye sore (in my opinion and especially ON me when I wear it) without much middle ground between.

          Maybe we need a metaphysics thread? Not sure if any of us have the time, energy, intent to waste words on it, but in cases such as this we could get closer to it. Very short version, sounds like it's still shades of grey, but not many shades between black and white 😘

            Haha indeed. It's actually my day job so I could probably get some research out of it ;).

            Really interested in your reaction tatmantall, it's always a really fascinating, often irrational reaction when we  find ourselves attracted to a garment (or repulsed by it).

            I wonder what it is we see in it: for the garments we love, is it that we see some kind of ideal version of ourselves in it (Freud's ego-ideal maybe)? How we wish others would see us?

                Not a huge fan of the elf shoe thing personally; is 310 one of those ski jump lasts?

                Think it, be it.

                      Thanks David, I am planning on making a video for these boots. I am waiting on some cooler weather to try and shoot something outside hopefully.

                      Tatmantall, I love the 310 last. Lately, I only see other lasts and these stand out. Being unique and getting it at a great deal is a win win for me. 😉

                            Has anyone got a pair of Boondockers (110 last)? How did you size compared to the 2030 last?

                            The Viberg bug has buried itself deep in my skin, dammit.

                                        Hey guys, just a heads up before I post them for sale, I'm going to have to let these go I think.

                                        My freakishly long left foot is making things uncomfortable for a 9.5, which is a shame because my right foot is a perfect fit.

                                        Today is the 10th wear and I'd probably have to bring them to a cobblers to get the left boot stretched, and I'd rather instead just order half a size up than stretching out a boot not really meant for my foot!

                                        So PM me if you want 'em. Again, size 9.5s.

                                        Also, I think I'll order some Boondockers. If I probably need a 10 due to length in the 2030 last, what size would you all recommend on the 110?

                                            Great vid KKT.

                                            To offer some advice on sizing, as I've just had Morgan receive and offer advice on my foot sketch.

                                            He said

                                            @Morgan:

                                            Your tracings indicate that your left foot is a 10.5 and your right is a 10. The 2030 last, on which your current boot was built, is slightly longer than our other lasts which is why a 9.5 works although snug. I would suggest a size 10 and having the left boot stretched if necessary and after a week or two's worth of wear.

                                            I asked if he meant I order a size 10 in the 110 also, and he said yes, it's a generous comfortable last, shorter than the 2030.

                                            So I've ordered a 10 in the 110 Boondockers, and I'm on Styleforum's group order for the 2030 service boot in black, size 10 too, and I'll stretch out the left boot.

                                            Anyone else own a 110? How's the fit?
