@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

@FlavourFade
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.
-
@FlavourFade Oh yeah absolutely, give em some time to see what they do on their own

@Heavy_blue thanks for the help via Instagram

@FlavourFade you’re welcome dude! Always happy to help spending money

@Daniel-San mesmerizing leather. I may or may not have recently doubled down on the dark brown shinki as well 🫣
-
@Daniel-San wonderful grain and beautiful patina, congratulations mate

@flannel-slut
have you found some anywhere? thought sold out completely
-
S&S had a 20% off sale last week, had a pair avail in my size and was somehow not excluded from the sale. I tried to explain to my better half how I was left with no choice but she can't wrap her head around why I needed the same boot in a different colorway. When I looked, they still had a few smaller sizes in stock...
-
Ah ok, didn’t noticed they had a sale.

That’s because your belt should match your shoes and you don’t want to upset the guys on the forum by committing such a faux pas.
Just trying to help!

@goosehd the kind of brilliance I have come to expect around these parts! All I could repeat was, "just look at that Shinki!" somehow this did not help
