      @motojobobo:

      I may be able to squeeze a short stop at Gosport during an upcoming trip to a friend’s wedding. Is it possible to do in-person shopping at IHUK?

      Possible and pleasurable. I’d highly recommend making it a priority.

            Thank you for the positive confirmation and encouragement @neph93 , @Giles and @Chris ! I’m in the midst of sorting out my travel arrangements and hope to manage that stopover at IHUK. Trip won’t be until late November, but I’m making early bookings. I’ll let you know as soon as plans firm up.

            The journey is the objective.

              Follow up questions on my earlier one.

              I'd be flying into Heathrow airport. What transport options do you recommend to get to Gosport?

              Any IH events happening around Nov 23-27th; or Dec 12-15th?

              Thanks for the help.

              The journey is the objective.

                Take the train link. That’s a bus from LHR to Woking train station. From there it’s a short train journey to Portsmouth Harbour. Once you’re there IHUK is about 15mins ferry/walk away.

                    I live in Woking and can you take you down there depending on dates. I'm sure they'll be something I can buy at IHHQ.

                            Four years since my initial 'quality boot' purchase, my feet have become picky about footwear. I just spent a week around the ranch working on a pair of low quality rubber boots and both my feet are complaining that fit/support/flex point etc are not up to par with my leather boots.

                            So I'm looking for suggestions on which rubber boots this group has used which offer similar comfort as their leather counterparts. I'm looking for regular water boots for muddy/flooded conditions in warm weather, not warm/winter rubber boots. I blame the lack of arch support and the flimsy sole to be the main culprits behind my aching feet.

                            The journey is the objective.

                              ^As someone who works almost exclusively in rubber boots, I got a pair of these (https://www.xtratuf.com/non-insulated-xtratuf-legacy-safety-toe-15-22271g-xt.html) and absolutely love them.  Will definitely be a repeat purchase after I wear them out…

                              I've also like these (https://www.shoesforcrews.com/sfc3/index.cfm?changeWebsite=us_en&route=c_store.viewDetailsOfProduct&partnumber=2063) at 1/2 the price I was able to find the xtratufs for not a bad deal.  Good durable boots, but not as comfortable for me as the xtratufs are...

                              I also always use Superfeet insoles (https://www.superfeet.com/en-us) in my boots around the brewery to make sure I'm getting proper support where it's needed...

                                I'm looking into the xtratuf option @emceeQ ; thank you for your suggestions.

                                I'm heavily weighing the comfort aspect (after waterproofness) over most others on this choice. Do you size differently on the xtratuf boots when you know you will use a Superfeet insole? Or do you swap the provided insole for the Superfeet one and thus avoid sizing differently?

                                The journey is the objective.

                                  @motojobobo I just pop out the provided insole and pop in the Superfeet, and would wear the same size regardless of which insole is in there…

                                  For my sizing (which may or may not be helpful) I have 10.5D Wesco engineers, but I wear a size 12 in the xtratuf with the blue Superfeet.

                                    Here's one…  Is the 12oz wabash denim selvedge or projectile-woven?  I'm guessing it's projectile, but maybe I'm guessing wrong.

                                      It is not woven on a shuttle loom, you can be sure that if it were, the product description would say it was selvedge and we would photograph the selvedge ID.

                                          Not sure where better to ask… @Giles or anyone else, are a few subforums down lately, or is that just from my end? The buying and selling area seems down unless you already have a link to follow for a specific thread. I've seen one or two others give an issue, though I can't remember which they were.
