Wow.  I am soooooo jealous.  Fantastic, thanks for the post.  These boots are nuts.

Man, hate on CXL all you want, I am staggered by how well Lofgren engineers break in. The leather (this is in case Mega sees this) is BUTTERY soft and supple.

sooooo buttery

[Snowy]

MCL, I can always do some buttery porn action when you think they're in their prime if you read me 5 by 5.

10-4 good buddy these bitches are still infants

if these were my size I would purchase them, that badalassi leather is amazing. someone should get these

[superfuzz]

Wow those are the blue ones? They look really dark in the pics.

[tatmantall]

yeah, im not sure that they have only been worn a few times as the seller states but they are a great boot. Would be interested in seeing the work on the strap replacement up close but either way worth the money IMO

[superfuzz]

If they were the cognac leather if pull the trigger. Not sure how much I'd wear the blue ones.

[Bluegrass]

These look more worn than seller states imo, but I love the way they've broken in - gorgeous - amazing how the blue darkens up.

[SLAB]

how are they sized? TTS or half/full size down?

[tatmantall]

I sized down half from my wesco and road champs

[mclaincausey]

I went TTS but I have room for thick socks cos I live in the tundra. I also have an insole.

[mclaincausey]

There are some PRISTINE size 11 Baldalassi cognacs on eBay. $900 + $25 shipping.

Speaking to the guy for measurements right now… Wondering if can work with thin socks

[mclaincausey]

He posted some measurements in the description I think

[tatmantall]

Yeah but I need a wall to toe measurement to compensate for the Cuban heel. Heel to toe is worthless on Cuban heel builds

[Bluegrass]

tell him to give you heel to toe inside - i have my eye on some road champs but need the measures… good luck with those baldalassis.

[tatmantall]

1/8" shorter than my others… Don't think it's gonna work... Bummed. I want done cognac baladassis sooooo bad

[mclaincausey]

Bummer. No guarantee of a re-run since it's a collab.
