@Tobi very nice. Waiting on a pair of burgundy donkey punchers myself. Anxious how I make out sizing wise as well. Ended up going .5 larger than my Lofgren M-43s

[Tobi]

@flannel-slut at least you have a Lofgren reference (I guess you sized up because of their size harmonization that was announced for the recent boots). I was looking at the burgundy color myself, and also the cognac and natural leather. Not brave enough for burgundy, and found the cognac Badalassi a bit too red/yellow. Would have gone for the natural color but found it not in stock anywhere in my size in Europe. Also always wanted some boots in roughout leather..

@Tobi those are sick dude! So ultimately you went with .5 up from your RW size? It’s kinda crazy how different lasts can affect size and fit for each boot. Def makes things tricky on very expensive boots. Hope you love em! Do you have any other pairs of JL to compare sizing to?

@flannel-slut those burgundys DPs are killer man!! Stoked for ya. Those are on my Santa wish list too! Fingers crossed.

[Tobi]

@Mizmazzle yeah, but then the 10 in RW was always borderline too tight in the front, with my very wide feet. No JL to compare sizing. They are quite comfortable right out of the box, unlike my RW that needed a VERY long and painful wear-in.

[Mizmazzle]

@Tobi I bet some of that heel slip will resolve itself once you break in that footbed some. Looking forward to following your progress in these beauties. Is that a 634 cut Jean you’re wearing over the boots?

[Tobi]

@Mizmazzle the heel slip is minimal.. more in my mind than real and yes 25oz IH-634-XHS

[flannel slut]

@Tobi curious man, when you say very long painful break in period for your RWs, are they now broken in/a comfortable fit? Or are your toes still crammed in them?

[flannel slut]

@Mizmazzle great minds man! I’ll be sure to tease you w some pics when they arrive next week

[Tobi]

@flannel-slut Its RW Blacksmith in US size 10. They are now good to wear, but not really very comfortable if worn all day (width in front). I also find the sole quite thin and tend to get cold feet if I wear them in winter, even with thick socks.

Donkey punch never felt so good

And because I’m an impulsive asshole (and @Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot makes em look so good)

[Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot]

champ AND mint…. wow!

[goosehd]

I’ve been eyeing those olive shoes hard since @Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot posted his as well as the olive chukka boots…

Trying to resist…

@flannel-slut …and you’re not helping

Great pairs of boots gentlemen!

[tody]

@goosehd Same here, that olive is so tempting...

[Mizmazzle]

@flannel-slut damn son!!! Hoping Santa donkey punches me this Christmas!!!

[goosehd]

You know who you are and look what you made me do…

[Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot]

CHAMP!!!

[Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot]

@goosehd those are all kinds of gorgeous…. wow

[goosehd]

@Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot Thank you! They are a d width though and I’m an e…she’ll take some work to wear comfortably, but I’ve done it before.

Very slow and steady.

[tody]

@goosehd M-43?

[popvulture]

The M43s are very very forgiving, or at least the roughout ones are. Enjoy those bad boys!
