    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.

        @thebeardoweirdo:

        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 burgundy really are beautiful.
        The leather and build on these boys are exceptional and have to be seen in person! Can't wait to rock em all fall.

                      Yes keep us posted please. I can only imagine how good they will look in a couple of months.

                                @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

                                      @theorocks thanks for the update on your JBLs - greatly appreciate the evo pics.  I’m apprehensive regarding the exact size since it’s a pain returning, but there’s no way to dial the size in without ordering.  They look great and you’ve cemented my decision.  Thanks again!

                                        @John Galt for reference I am an 8.5 in Lofgren engineers, donkey punchers, and tankers.  I am also an 8.5 in Viberg and a 9 in Wesco, Red Wing, and Trickers.

                                        Lofgren engineers are generally known to be a little more difficult to get on than many others.  Lofgren told me he specifically made them this way so if you crash on your motorcycle your boots wont fall off.  The plastic bag trick is your friend.  When you first get them you may be convinced you sized wrong but once you get your foot in they'll fit perfect.

                                          If it helps, I’m a 10 in the Lofgren engineer, 9.5 in Wesco Mr Lou, 9 in RW Iron Ranger and a 10 in vans. The Lofgren are pain in the ass to get in even after a year, but really comfy once you managed it.
