      That sounds plausible. Thank you @neph93

          @don_pipone:

          I bought a pair of slightly used Chukkas on eBay two weeks ago.
          When I put them on they feel quite snug, especially on the front (toes and outside).
          After about 0.5-1 hour of wearing they feel quite comy and not snug anymore.
          I have worn them about 10 times since I got them and it's always the same.
          Is that normal if they are not fully broken in yet?

          My Red Wing chukkas took FOREVER to break in.

            As long as they don't hurt or restrict your movement they'll be fine.

                                Hi guys, quick question re getting my Red Wing 3141 Chukkas resoled:

                                I'm after a commando sole and the only place locally that'll do them is Timpson's… I'm not super-convinced they'll do a great job (google is not their friend in this regard); does anyone have any experience of sending their treasured comfy foot gloves to a Vibram resoler in the UK?

                                I could send them to the RW-approved cobbler, but they only offer RW soles, it would appear.

                                Any thoughts?

                                  Have you looked at all the soles available through RW directly?

                                  I know my RW store showed me a book of about 30 sole options, Lot of which never made it in production Boots, but could be done for a resole at the factory

                                    Good question – however I neglected to mention, apologies, that I'm a long way from a proper RW shop (I'm in Edinburgh, UK – nearest I believe is in London, and they just point you to the afore-mentioned cobbler somewhere else down in the southern UK, who quoted me ~£100).

                                    But you're right, perhaps I should ask after their other soles, the non-RW ones may well be cheaper…

                                      RW use Viblam now and again so that may work out. I hear good things about the Viblam re-soling joint in London though.

                                        Thanks, good point, I spotted something about the Vibram ?Academy? in London a while back – I'll drop them a line

                                          That’s the one I mean. Pretty sure they take shipped business and as I said, the write ups I’ve seen have been positive.
