@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]

@Daniel-San now time for some laces

[Daniel San]

@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 .

[flannel slut]

@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

[Mizmazzle]

@flannel-slut and the FOMO is back....sick AF!!

[Daniel San]

@Mizmazzle
still have the chance bro
go grab‘em

[flannel slut]

@Mizmazzle haha I was just kidding with my earlier praise. These boots are a total let down

[Mizmazzle]

@Daniel-San looks like a couple retailers have them now. Maybe I can squeeze in the "birthday" excuse on these....

[Mizmazzle]

I'd love to see some picks of these Donkey Punchers with you guys styling them out...like full outfit shots.

[stitchdown.shell]

@flannel-slut Fantastic pickup! Congrats.

[flannel slut]

@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.

[flannel slut]

@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.

[tody]

@flannel-slut indeed, both made on the 110 last

[FlavourFade]

@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?

[flannel slut]

[FlavourFade]

1.6k ?

[flannel slut]

@FlavourFade Right? I was almost thankful for this price point… if it was more in line with say 1.2k then I would be doing some questionable justifications

[Mizmazzle]

Nice thing about those shell combat boots is they seem to rerun them annually. So if you can’t justify it now, the ol “maybe next year” mindset helps with the FOMO

Now those 8” Ezo Donkey Punchers on the other hand…
