P.s. Dont know how to tag anybody here ::)
Just write “@“ before their nick. It doesn’t work in Tapatalk I’m afraid. You have to be on the forum webpage.
@Appfaff’s info is very good. You’ll need to wear them in and a little snug is a good thing at the start.
Planning to receive them in 2-3days time. Will tell then how it fits)
This UPS killing me!!!
Rescheduled delivery for the Monday…
shipped date 8the of March... sill waiting, the pure delivery time is about 3 days, and everything else is useless waste of time by UPS and ridiculous paperwork.

Welcome to Russia
It matters not who we send with, we get troble in Russia. EMS and Royal Mail are a disaster because so much stuff gets stolen in Russia. All the other couriers are not meant to only ship to Business premises (Russian Govt rule)….
yes, this is kind of complicated question. But I guess that nowdays the EMS and Royal Mail getting better.
I have recently received couple of parcel with USPS Priority - which is the same as Royal Mail or Russian Post on our side. 8-10 days from USA - quite fast. But still for the expensive stuff like boots I would prefer the DHL or UPS, just to feel safe(if I would have to choose).
I have also received goods from UK by DHL, like shoes from https://www.herringshoes.co.uk/ - usually 3-4 days. fast and convinient.
I would say that the major problem is the weird way of work in UPS Russia(a lot of waste of time). -
What about TNT and Fedex, we may be moving to them soon…..
I have never heard about TNT before, but google telling me that we have TNT office in our city
Fedex - not really used them in Russia(but worked as a package handler in FedEx sortig facility near Chicago long time ago
), don't know anything solid, so don't want to tell anything good or bad.Why not consider using DHL?

great purchase
-
and me!
now first impressions:
boots are great, heavy and looks indestructible
definitely nice boots.size cause some questions:
I can put them on quite easely with the straps tighten up as they come from the store(3rd from the last hole), there is no anything like a tight feeling, the heel is slipping easely, even if I am not walking.
I can put them off quite easely, without any significant effort
I am currently trying them with a thin dress socks, what I am usually wear in the office, since I am changing the boots in the office to something more comfortable and dressy, so I would like to wear the boots with a thin socks as well. Sould I try to put them on with some additional insole(insert one more insole under existing leather insole)?
sould I try tmem with tightly fasten straps?what would be the experts suggestions?
Since this is quite expensive boots for me, I would prefer to have everyithing just the right way and there is still half size smaller boots available at the stock…

socks make a huge difference.
try on the boots with socks you plan to wear with the boots and I think that will resolve your issue.
again great purchase and great looking boot

but this is the socks that I usually wear and plannig to wear :-\
boots are great, no questions… but still kind of thinking to go half size down.
-
go half a size down then ???
thought you were wearing thin socks for dress shoes
-
thought you were wearing thin socks for dress shoes
yes, but I don't really want to take different socks for the office each day
I want to go to the office with boots and then jump to the office shoes. changing the socks in the office going to be too much for me, I am too old for this sh#tI am going to wait for few more experts(who has engineer boots) opinion based on my description ::) and then make a decision.
(any comments guys? @neph93, @Appfaff, @den1mhead, @marlin) -
tried them once again, definitely far to big for me.
even at the evening, when the foot is slightly bigger it still feel too big for me.
I would send it back for exchange for 9.5D, think it would be best decision. even thought I want to wear them really much…and probably it still not the best weather for Engineers in my town yet... still have some gap in time..

I'am not a expert at all, but here are my thoughts.
I ordered the boot in 9,5 at first, but when I tryed it on my first thought was, they are to big. Since I wanted the best fitting size, I ordered the 9 as well and compared them side by side. My first feeling proofed to be right, because I ended with the 9.
With the 9,5 I slipped just to much at the heel, it just didn't feel right. Can't explain it better than that, sorry!
The 9 had still minor play in the heel, but this got regulated by the worn in midsole, which gets the boot a bit smaller afterwards.
My tip, if you want to get it right, order the next smaller size and compare them side by side.
