        Is that a block heel? How many lifts lower than standard jobmaster? Looks rad.

              Thanks! It's one lift lower with a "slight taper."

              Thanks! @4c

                  Are they breaking in ok?

                  Followed sound advice (thank you [emoji4]) and took the insole out. Works a treat. I was surprised at the amount of difference it made tbh. A few more days wear without and I'll put them back in again. The biggest surprise is how the double mids are already softening and forming to my feet. I was expecting them to be the biggest challenge.

                  Same here on the double mids! I expected that to be the most difficult part of break in, but have been pleasantly surprised. Now if my uppers would stop creaking lol

                      @upcap , beautiful boots. Natural double mids plus the olive burlap is a great combination. I'd love to see some close ups…

                                    I completely dispense with any insole when I have this issue, once the boots have stretched, I reintroduce the insole….

                                    Been wearing the boots without an insole the past couple of weeks and it's working nicely. I'll be testing them with the insole in shortly. Question though, will prolonged usage without the insole have any negative effect on the boot?

                                          A bootmaker I know says that insoles actually shorten the lifespan of boots- the synthetic materials don't breathe as well, so the sweat stays in the leather longer.  From a practical standpoint, I don't know if it makes a whole lot of difference, though.
