@AdamJ I really like their marshmallow color but I havent seen them use it on the BMX version yet. but Blackout's are a must have, 100%

Of all the recent/new releases, the mid MTE Destruct is a solid fave of mine. So comfortable and particularly awesome for winter.
Here are mine right now, complete with crocking.

Another favourite pair are my OG Vault colab with Nigel Cabourn. 50/50 Indigo dyed herringbone and denim vamp. Like breaking in a pair of iron rangers.

@thewizarrd yeah dude. Those are super rad!! Did you take your normal Vans Sk8-hi size in those?
In the easy chair with my boots on, melted whiskey in my hand. Could'na been asleep for more than three hours...time to go to work again...

@Mizmazzle these are a UK 11, funny story but all my trainers/sneakers are 11. Measured up in a brannock for a pair of red wings about a year ago and I’m actually a 10.. seems I’ve been wearing shoes all my adult life a size too big.. I do have a crazy high arch so some shoes 10, some 11 depending on the width. I could probably get away with a 10.5 in these.

@thewizarrd yeah, Red Wings run about 1/2 size to one full size larger than a normal sneaker size. So that sounds on par with the norm. Did you buy a pair of Red Wings? It’s a great journey. Classic boots for sure!!

@Mizmazzle I’m one of the few that likes to wear an insole in their 8 last boots so I buy as per my brannock sizing. I picked up a pair of blacksmiths in R&T copper.
With regards to the 8138, I bought an pair around 15 years ago and in all honesty, I ended up selling them a couple of years ago because I think the traction tread is awful. I was wearing through two soles a year!
Granted I didn’t have much by way of a rotation back then.
