ADDICT BOOTS Japan

@SourPower we're yet to finalise RRP but we will let you know once we've got in locked in for all models

@SourPower Addict dont have fixed overseas RRPs - we have a rough idea of margin, but the JPY/GBP/USD will dictate the ultimate price at the time of launch.

once had a pair of engineers from Addict and I can say that they are very well made , comfortable to wear out of the box. Just sold them because of sizing issues. they run pretty long , at least the ST model I had.

AB-05SS-CL Steersuede Zip Western Boots
I bit the bullet and scored the last pair of these in my size direct from Addict.
Extremely impressed right out of the box, absolutely impeccable construction and the steersuede aromas are mouth watering. I went true to size with my other handmade boots and the 12 is spot on, I think sizing down too aggressively would make the pull-on impossible for those of us with large feet.
The CL last is definitely low volume, but fit perfectly without the insoles for my initial try on. With some wear time and stretch I may decide to use the insoles.
Highly recommend Addict for fellow forum members who are interested in their products. So stoked to see IHUK picking up Satoshi Ishijima’s incredible brand!

I've ben collecting heritage boots for almost 5yrs. For the first few years I started out with TBC and then I found out about Grant Stone. I was solely buying GS footwear for 4+years. Not until recently did I venture out.
Earlier this year, I got into side zip boots and I bought all 4 Elias's and they fit well. They are a combo between engineer boots and western cowboy boots. They all have an 8" shaft.
Then I got into Rolling Dub Trio Caspers and Addict Boots Jodhpurs and Western side zips.
I would like a pair of Addict Engineers however I don't know what size I should go with and exchanging when the merchant is in Japan will be tough because I'm in the USA.

@SourPower I just got a pair of these. My first Addict Boots were the Jodhpurs in Black HH and then recently got these same exact ones. I went 1/2 from brannock and to be honest, the instep was a killer. I'm Asian so I didn't think I would have a high instep but apparently I do. The instep on both were extremely rough in that they pinched like hell but I was hell bent on making them work. I would imagine taking my tts brannock size would have possibly been better however, I prefer my boots to fit snug without a lot of room in the toe box length/width wise.
I had to buy a professional grade instep stretcher. It's made of steel and robust. I stretched them for 2 days. My left foot doesn't have as high of an instep like my right foot.
To be honest, I prefer suede over any smooth leather outside of shell cordovan. I have a ton of boots that are CXL and I would prefer suede over CXL. It hides scuffs really well and there's just something about suede that is really appealing to me.
How did these fit you?
