                            @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.

                                        @BloodnThunder & @Dmart thanks for your JBL sizing experience.  I believe my Brannock is a 9.5D, but haven’t checked in years.  I wear an 8.5 in the Viberg 2050 & 1035 and some of the their 2030s.  And then other Viberg 2030s I wear an 8.0 - it depends on if lasted a little bigger or smaller.  My US sneaker size is normally a 10.0 .  Based on @BloodnThunder experience - an 8.5 should work.  However, @Dmart experience would indicate a larger size.  Thus, I’m thinking I’m either an 8.5 or a 9.0 in the JBL.  Definitely won’t be doing a preorder and will be looking at the return policy until get a pair under feet.  If anyone else has experience with Viberg vs JBL sizing - greatly appreciate the feedback.  Thanks!

                                          High arches. 9.5D brannock, 8.5 in Viberg hiking, smokejumper, and 2030 service boot lasts, and my 9.5 Lofgrens are probably a full size larger than they should be (though with thick insoles and using the straps they are very comfortable) @John Galt If I were buying more Lofgrens, the question would be 8.5 or 9.

                                          Think it, be it.

                                            Finn, John (shopatspeedway@NOSPAM.hotmail.com) is a pleasure to deal with and will answer sizing questions. The gist of it is these seem straight up US sized.

                                            Also @John Galt see the above–not sure if that email address is still in use, but probably not too hard to track down JL and ask him.

                                            Think it, be it.
