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.

@SKT great choice. Wore these until there was a hole in the heel. Now rocking the low tops. They fade a lot.
