Any of you have experience with sizing on the no.8 last? I kinda like this Rover boot and was curious how it compares to companies like Alden’s tru balance last

Yep. I think all the IRs are #8 and the 2947s above i have are also #8.  I wear an 11.5D in all #8. 12s in the others.

What size do you wear with other brands? I wear an 8.5 in the tru balance last but size 10 sneaker

12s in Allen Edmonds and Luchesse minus the last pr which were 13s. 12.5 in New Balance. 46.5 in Scarpa. and 12s in Keen and Tiva. my footprint measures a 11.5 but i’ve broken my ankles and feet a total of ~12 times and have a freakish high instep

Sent my 875s to red wing to be re-soled, had them back within a week. New laces, leather conditioned and they throw in a tub of the conditioner also. Ready for another 4 years.

cleanup.

Yeah they do look like they could do with a quick brushing…

[spitfiredealer]

They look like they deserve to be retired

[den1mhead]

^^ A generous application of mink oil when they return from the cobbler would make all the difference imo

Supposedly the cobbler said they’d clean and “restore” it well so let’s see !! Otherwise, retirement is something I’ve been considering

I think that cobbler might have to be a magican to restore them. But interested to see what he can do

They’ve seen many roads on the moto and hiking some mountains (wrong shoes for it but eh). About 8 years I believe
