I love your ship John boots. I wanted to order some but I'm afraid of the size d. I heard that in Wesco's, size d is very narrow and e is the normal size
This leather feels looser/wider than my Horsehide Mr Lou and the Derrolls.

Ditto! I’m a 9.5E in Redwings and I hate pressure on the top of my foot over my arch. It’s always a bummer seeing the special runs in D only. I’d have a pair of Purpitrators otherwise.

Playing in the mud first thing this morning. I cannot stand having boots caked in mud for too long

Was lucky enough to get a pair of my grail boots. JL M43 in rough out suede. Super comfy right out of the box…not sure if it’s due to the last or the leather being more supple, but they’re great. Curious if anyone has any advice on care for roughout leather? I’ve seen a lot of conflicting advice out there…
-
@sweetlou Lovely boots. JL is my favourite boot brand at the moment.
So far as care goes, wear them, brush them every few wears. If you wear them with denim they will crock. They won't need conditioning for some time, if you do condition them, they will become a lot darker.

@NickD Thanks Nick! Yeah, I’d seen some images of treated rough out and it really did change the color of the boots which I really like. I was a little concerned about water staining untreated leather but don’t want to baby them either. Denim rub off is just going to be part of the process since that’s all I wear
-
@sweetlou I’ve been eyeing these lately… I’m curious, 1/2 size or a full size smaller than your typical sneaker size?
