John Lofgren (Speedway)

These guys just arrived today and I am stoked. I was real worried about sizing, as I am a 6.5D for my right foot and closer to a 6 on the left. Most of my chelsea style boots are all EU 38/39 and varies between manufacturers and my RW Iron Rangers and Blacksmiths are also a US 6.5, a bit roomy without an insole but with a bit of insole they fit great, with the widest part right at the ball of my foot. I ordered the Lofgrens in 6.5, which was the last Burgundy pair(or wait till December for a restock). With wigwam airmax thin socks they are snug and the width fits the ball of my foot perfectly with the toebox having a bit of room but not too much, decent amount of heelslip though. With proper boot socks they fit like a glove up front and it reduces the heel slip down to about 1/4". Time to wear them and break em in to see how they fit and form to my feet. Hope that helps any other tiny feet people out there a bit with sizing.
The leather and build on these boys are exceptional and have to be seen in person! Can't wait to rock em all fall.

Well after wearing them for a bit, I probably could have sized down a half size, so i added the cork insoles from my redwings in and now they fit perfectly and are the most comfortable boots i own already, only to get better with time!
-
Those look great, and speaking from experience, I can tell you it's a whole lot better to be a little big with Lofgren engineers than a little small. I've had mine for several years and they're still a bitch to get on. Glad the insoles dialed in the fit for you!
-
Thanks man! Was worried about the too big/small thing. The thread here helped a lot, tiny size doesnt help either, but it's nailed now! Your comment makes me way more confident about it as well.

The burgundy really are beautiful.

@theorocks any updated photos of your JBL Badalassi Carlo Grigio’s evolving? I’m on the fence in ordering these and interested in your opinion after spending a few months in them. Thanks!

Definitely starting to darken … I haven’t had much time In them Lately working from home a lot etc … I’m still on the fence with sizing I’m a branock 10 and have these in a 9.5 (which is the usual sizing advice) … the toe box is a little snug at times if my foot slides forward in boot … I actually think I would prefer a 10 … but as they break in they feel better and better
