Anyone who has the M43 boots - how's the fit? I have the engineers and combat boots already, both in the same size (half down from Brannock) and the engineers are a little snug in the toe box, the combats are nigh on perfect.

@NickD had the engineers and also the M43, both same size 9.5d. While the engineers were very snugg around the toes, I had plenty of space in the M43, very comfortable boots and the munsoon last is perfect if you want toe space but a secure fitting mid to heel section.

@NickD i have three pairs. half size down from brannock. super comfortable, but the unstructured toebox needs some time to get used to. you will feel the leather forming around your toes, big toe especially. that's not a sign of them being too small, it's just the nature of the beast.

[NickD]

Hmm, I’m not a fan of being able to feel the shoes touching the top of my big toe, probably why I find the combat boots so comfortable.

WTF is this bulls*%t?

Had these badalssi Grigio boots about 16 months. Not even that heavy of wear really. I raged my nattys everyday for almost three years and never had an issue. Anyone experience something like this before?

Just noticed this when I got home from work:

If it’s any consolation a good cobbler can take care of this pretty easily. I would have them use heavier duty or higher quality thread just to be safe.

[Mizmazzle]

@northsouthdenimguy that’s good to hear. I know shit happens. But it’s annoying none the less.

[northsouthdenimguy]

@Mizmazzle

For sure, I’ve never had that happen but I also would be annoyed.

[Mizmazzle]

@northsouthdenimguy I also emailed John Lofgren to see what they have to say about it. Maybe they will step up and make it right somehow. Though I’m not holding my breath.

[Mizmazzle]

@northsouthdenimguy reached out to Grant at unsung. He confirmed it’s no biggie. Any cobbler worth their salt can fix it.

[NickD]

@Mizmazzle I had something similar on a pair of Wescos. It took my cobbler 5 minutes to fix. Annoying, but easy enough to get sorted.

@Mizmazzle

Nice! I was going to mention reaching out to Grant
