@stitchdown-shell thanks buddy, I talked to Jamie from Eastwest about it and he calmed me down! Maybe will try your workaround

RDT Casper. Great boots, still breaking them in…

Wearing my RDT Casper boots..
-
Creases and patina all over my RDT Caspers…I love them! Great boots!
(Cross post with the Show is your boots topic)

Looking at adding to my collection. Any thoughts on best quality out of Lofgren, Whites or Rolling Dub? But unsure about the leather sole with RDT.
-
Don't know about white's but had rdt and Lofgren. Both are exceptional quality and the Lofgrens feel more refined with perfection everywhere while RDT are more like little tanks, raw and bulky but extremely well made. Be aware that rdt has odd sizing. @Gavin666

@Daniel-San great boots! Do you have a shipping container at home to store your boot collection
-
the Loro’s arrived yesterday
those boots are insane!
worn only yesterday evening for a few ours the horse already starts to roll and crease.
the finish of these is outstanding , the grain of the goat
leather shaft is amazing and the flames embroidery is super neat and exceptional well made .
super curious how these will evolve with time and lots of wear

@Daniel-San amazing boots Daniel!!! Would love to see some fit pics

just ordered the Coupen in black dressner leather . Need something shorter than boots for the summer and to wear with shorts. It’s damned hot 🥵 at work ….
-
@Daniel-San RDT is such a great brand. They deserve more popularity! You rock the Loros!! Great fit.
-
got the Pisgah Range laces today , so I start wearing the Coupen tomorrow. They came with leather laces but I don’t like those kind of laces in general so I needed something better.
Think they look awesome

Good afternoon all. Does anyone have any input on what they think the better buy is between a pair of Casper's in black horsehide, or a pair of Lofgren
el capitan or combat boots in black cxl. Pricing is pretty comparible. I know styling is pretty different amongst the 3, but I love the look of all 3, and the Casper and El Capitan kind of look the same from the top down.Basically I'm wondering for those who have handled both, for a similar price point, what's the better buy?
Also, how is the durability of the side zipper on the Casper boots? Is it a concern long term? I have never owned zipper boots.

@Johnnyutah247 they are all very different and hard to compare. Out of the box the JL will both be more comfortable without any real break in from my experience with their boots. Also I think they are more versatile and can be worn for more occassions. Also the caspers look a little bulky and maybe even "clown shoe" from the get go. Anyway for me personally the RDT are way cooler, more special and have amazing patina potential. I feel they are not easy to size correct because they are long but a little narrow, also laceless boots have to fit perfect from the start to be comfortable at least that's what I feel. The insole is very flat and hard and don't give a lot of support but I found them to be very nice to wear. The zipper is heavy duty don't worry about that. Don't get fooled by the idea of side zippers being nice and fancy the caspers are tanks
-
@Johnnyutah247 sorry I can't comment on the comparison with the other boots (as I haven't tried them) but my RDT Caspers arrived today and all I can say is they are an incredibly nice boot, you can't really go wrong with them.

Thanks gents. Safe to go 1 full size down from my brannock or nike running shoe size (11)? I Have average width feet I believe. I take a size 10 in viberg 2030 last , size 10 in Alden Indy, size 10.5 in red wing moc toe.
-
@Johnnyutah247 I am a Brannock 10E and very low volume and low instep feet. I take a Viberg 2030 last in a 9, but can also do 8.5.
I own RDT Caspser in a 8.5 and and 9(my first pair). I prefer the fit on the 8.5. 9s I have to put in an insert as it's too big for me.
Alden Indy I'm a 9 in Barrie and True Balance. Perfect for me.
If you have a wide foot and high instep, you're probably good with one size down from Brannock so take a 10? Just my recommendation.
-
@Johnnyutah247 I would say definitely safe. You might even find that a little big but going any smaller would be too risky, I’d bet. I’ve found that of all the heritage shoes/boots I’ve tried that run bigger than brannock/sneaker size, RDT run the biggest. Or Caspers, at least — haven’t tried any of their others (though I’d love to).
