Lowered heel= blasphemy!!

Guys, I'm not wanting to break any forum rules, but don't want to make this into a marketplace post yet because it's still a little while off. Anyway, I've got a brand new pair of JLs in Badalassi Cognac coming in size 12 that I will sell for considerably less than you can buy a new pair. PM me.
-
Wrong size?
-
Sounds like a good plan!
-
Did some maintenance on these in preparation for beating the bejesus out of them in New Orleans. Like new again.
-
Yes sir, self edge la
Ben, may I know how will you go with sizing on the engineers? Ive read that they tend to come 1 size bigger. So If Im in between sizes 10US and 9US should I go with a 9?
Thanks
-
I believe that they are around an e width (to accommodate the Japanese foot), so I think that if you are a d width you should size down half. I'm a true 9.5 and the 9s slipped on like a glove in 5 seconds. That said, I'm going to try on an 8.5 just to be safe. I'll let you know…
-
I wear a 9.5, but could have gotten a 9. (Also a US9.5D). The 9.5 lets me put nice thick gel insoles in there though so it's all good.
-
^^Same here. I'm a 12 and have the JL engineers in 12. Probably could have gone with 11.5, but the 12 fits fine and allows me to put in my Superfeet 3/4 inserts for more heel cup and support, which I really need. I'd say stick with your true size and get a (custom) insole and some nice thick boots socks.

John allows returns but you have to try it on extremely carefully on carpet. He needs to be able to restock as new.

My size 12 RCs were extremely tight and short were as my 11 1/2 lofgrens the perfect looseness and a hair short. I would say almost a full size seperstes the two but that's just me. I don't wear an insole in either
Side note: my lofgrens are probably going up for sale. Lace ups are treating my foot issues a lot better so despite my love of engineers they maybe out of the question now. @least for the time being
-
Sorry to hear about your feet Tat. I was just lusting over the JL engineers on the SE site. Shoot me a PM if you do consider selling them.
-
You'll be the first to know. It's still just a consideration but if they go up.. You'll be hearing from me
-
I'm with Friday - you all have me all fucked up - I've been following this thread and "thought" JLs were basically TTS. I wear a 12 in RC but I'm scared to try a 12 in JLs. I'd LOVE to have some JLs if I thought they'd fit (size 12 that is). I explored trying to get John to do a 13 but it was too much to try and get all the Bigfoots together to make a commitment.

They've been discussing this over at Denimbro too.

But I don't really understand your concern Bluegrass. The consensus seems to be that the RCs are smaller. So a 12 in the JLs should work fine for you, no?
