@Daniel-San oh interesting. For me it was the opposite. My CXL leather was softer and the volume of the boot was larger. I had to put an insert in them to take up some space because they were so floppy.
My Badalassi in the same size were stiffer. But only for a short time. But they have way less volume and zero slip at all. They fit perfectly after walking in them for about 30 minutes.
That sucks so bad about the being owed money BS.

@Daniel-San

@flannel-slut
the new ones from Pisgah are 63“. They were recommended for Red Wing Irish Setter , so they should work. Will try them next days , and keep you updated!
Hope yours arrive soon ! Was pretty surprised that our retailer here in Germany get them first , seems the first worldwide.
cool for me

@Daniel-San last damn laces question (I promise mods)… to confirm, your purple laces are 72”?
I need to sell my burgundy DPs so the delay is welcomed on my end and definitely appreciate you paving the way with all the sweet lace intel (I will point out this is a comment on laces, not a question). My only gripe with my burgundy DPs was the laces provided were about 4”s too short IMOP, hence the smallish obsession -
@flannel-slut
the purple ones are 180cm which should be 71“ . -
@Daniel-San arrived a little earlier than anticipated! Pictures do not do these justice but here are some shots of mine

@flannel-slut those look amazing man. Always wanted some donkey punchers and those are fantastic.
-

I bought my Donkey Punchers half a size too large (online), and despite wide feet in front have a bit too much wiggle room. I fixed this partly with extra in-soles, but I still have with every step a fold on top of the boot push into my big toe somewhere. @flannel-slut real beauty you have there!!

@Tobi thanks Tobi!
-
@flannel-slut did you go down a half from Brannock? I had been looking at the burgundy DPs but these look so good. Congrats man and keep us updated on how they break in.
-
@ZackB honestly bud, you’re better off reading the Standard and Strange description. I did and landed on the perfect fit. They do a good job breaking down the last and it’s bannock equivalent

@flannel-slut
welcome to the club
they are absolutely stunning!!
and they get even more comfortable with a little wear . Wear mine at work on 8-9 hour shifts and it’s always a pleasure! -
-
@flannel-slut
good idea
, still can’t understand why they took those leather laces 
. Not practical at all and much to thick for the hooks . -
@Daniel-San could not agree more. They are nice laces (pry switch them over to my Truman’s once those laces go) but does not work w this boot
-
@flannel-slut and the FOMO is back....sick AF!!
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...
