        @Oaktavia You are welcome! They're definitely a good choice for that. You do have to compromise on quality, but in return you get a Chelsea boot that couldn't be any lighter. The weight was definitely an additional reason for me to buy my first pair. Another reason was that I wanted to treat my feet on days when I wasn't breaking in new, heavy boots we like because of their quality and craftsmanship . Here in Germany, I only buy new or like-new Blundstones from private sellers on classified ads for around €100. Only my first pair I bought in a store, as I went there to find the right size for me. Paid the retail price (€190/€200) only once.

          @matt_rost A good point - I paid £90 for my pair, half price in a sale. I wouldn't have paid full price for them.

            @Oaktavia Check out Redback boots ~ very similar to Blundstone and they last much longer. I switched over and use them as a work boot. I think they are still made in Oz

                I feel the same... Half price is a no-brainer (for me), then the price-performance ratio is right.

                  Hey guys. My German friends bought me boots! I'm so happy! I went a bit overboard and went with the timeless classics 8111 and 875 instead of Loggers. The boots will be arriving at my prison in December.

                        Nah, I just leave it be and things get back to normal @cosmic55
                        Next time I wear the boots I'll take a picture, but here they are after one was oiled. I used the paste on really dry spots on the upper smooth leather and also on the sole.

                          Still think this was a bit of genius going with purple leather. Thanks @Giles

                                Guys, real talk. I finally got it together and got some shoe trees and I picked 42/43 but the boots are a little all over the place in sizes from different brands.

                                I do have to push them in, but I wouldn‘t say I have to force them in. I also wouldn‘t say its a slips right in kind of experience.

                                Can someone tell me if these look too big for these shoes? I don‘t want to stretch them out with shoe trees…

                                  That’s about as tight as you want a shoe tree, but no, it’s fine - you won’t stretch the boots.

                                      @pechelman I went ahead and gave mine some oil…similar color change to yours. I’ll say that after one day they’re already lightening up!
                                      Thanks for the advice

                                          @goosehd thank you! I was nervous but the oil has evened out and I think the leather kind of needed it.

                                            after some wait I got my first pair of Lost Boy boots ( former Kings Boots) yesterday 🥳
                                            maybe not everyone’s taste but I absolutely love them. Very unique and the craftsmanship is absolutely amazing and the best I’ve seen so far , and I’ve seen a lot 😁
                                            here a few first impressions
