My engineers have been reworked by Felix the Boot maker thanks to @UnTucked for recommending him. Very happy with the finish

Those look great! Felix is definitely my go to guy for the remained of my time here in England.
Did he do a full measure up of your feet and re-last the boots?

I had a made to order fitting with Viberg last year, but when I received them from Canada, some of the spec wasn't right, and the heal block was square (the Spec I ordered). I wanted a black, not natural leather heal block, and changed my mind re the square rather than tapered heal, so Felix did the following:
Replace the Catspaw heal with a vibram (the Catspaw are awful! They wore down after a couple of months)
Added a woodsman taper to the heal block
Stained the heal block and midsole with dark beeswaxI'm collecting them from him tomorrow. Can't wait. He is super nice, and the turn around was less than 2 weeks. Total cost £70! That seemed a bargain to me.

Just had a look at his work on Instagram. Lovely stuff. Filed for future reference!

The finished boot, finally getting to wear it. I'm very happy

I've got some 2045 commando boots on the way from Division Road. They advised I size down from a 10.5 sneaker size to a size 9. I hope this is right. Jason seemed convinced that a 9.5 or a 10 would be too big.
Either way I am very excited. I hope they are wide enough. But he said the last is like a 4E wide in the fore foot.

I keep looking at these. I am so stoked.

I wear a 10.5 in sneakers, though I'm an ordinary D width. Years ago, I bought a size 9 in the 2035 last. They were snug at first, but they broke in beautifully. That's the pair of green service boots I wear all the time. Since the 2045 is wider, I think these will work out for you. Those are certainly damn nice looking boots.
