      Looks like they may have punched the wrong (too large) diameter in the leather for that size of eyelet. Pretty lame response from them but this should be an easy fix.

        @ARNC Tonal eyelets? Or a more contrasting colour?

          I would go for chrome / silver , maybe brass. it would look great with the olive 👏

            @tody obviously up to you, but I was wondering about something that would evolve alongside the leather. Unlacquered copper or bronze could be fun, if available .

                            Finally got my first engineer boot and I am blown away by the feeling wearing these. It's like the first high quality badass looking leather jacket, it's Just very special. Sizing wise I went with the same size I wear in my M43 and Iron Rangers, 9.5 us. On the left foot it's perfect with just a little bit of heelslip, the right foot is a little snug at the toebox but no heelslip at all. I think with regular wear the cxl will give a little and they will be comfortable all day boots. The getting on process was as frustrating as lots of you were reporting. Left foot little wiggle and I was in, right foot was a struggle until I finally used the only plastic I could find. I will now leave them on for the day around the house.

                                @Daniel-San thanks buddy! I already felt the slip on a lot easier the second time I tried it couple minutes ago.

                                Biggest problem now is that I need a leather jacket again 🤣

                                  lucky me I never had problems to get them on. But it will get better for sure ! the cxl is not that hardcore and will break in pretty fast compared to the shinki leather which is tough to break in.
                                  Around 60 days of wear and still not fully broken in …

                                    @Daniel-San yeah I bet the HH ones are hardcore but hardcore awesome!! Must be great wearing these. But what I really like about the cxl ones is the stitching and sole with a different colour. Love the new shinki steel gang boots also... But i'd have a serious problem if they magically apear in my wardrobe.. 😢

                                      @FlavourFade killer! I loved mine — I will say that taking them to a reputable shoe guy to get them stretched can help a bit. I'll also concede though that mine were just too small for me. Really could've used a 13 if JL made them, so I was really pressing my luck with a 12.

                                        @popvulture thanks! Wow, sounds like I'm a lucky guy with my average sized feet 😃

                                        Before I consider having somebody work on them I just wear them as much as I can and look how the slip in changes. I think they already feel easier to get on after a day of wear.
