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...
-
-
@Mizmazzle haha I was just kidding with my earlier praise. These boots are a total let down
-
@Daniel-San looks like a couple retailers have them now. Maybe I can squeeze in the "birthday" excuse on these....

@stitchdown-shell thanks Vince!

Do you guys have experience with the JL chelsea boot? Looking at the olive cxl one. Had to let my RDT caspers go because they never got to a comfortable level and the cord soles weren't really for me.. now I need something laceless again bacause I am lazy af

@FlavourFade I have two pairs, but not in olive. Coming from the Red Wing Chelseas, they took a while to get used to, as the last is narrower. But they broke in nicely and have gooten really comfortable.
-
@FlavourFade hey man I do believe these are built on the same last as their engineers. And thought it was you who had to catch and release the engineers because they fit too tight . Something to keep in mind if it was you -pending how that last (no pun intended) experience treated you, may want to go up .5 size or steer clear of this last all together.
-
@flannel-slut indeed, both made on the 110 last
-
@tody @flannel-slut thanks guys!! It was me indeed who had problems with the engineers... Bummer! I think they will be too tight then and a size up is not available right now. Maybe someone can recommend a chelsea that is a little more foregiving?
now time for some laces
