Anyone owning the combat boots from John Lofgren? Could you share your long term experience?

[Mizmazzle]

@the246guy I’d love to know about this as well. Really considering these as my next boot.

@stichdown-shell How long have you been wearing them? How is the experience with these? They have a slimmer waist, is that of any concern when it comes to comfort wearing them all day long? How is the sizing on these? I read sizing should be the same as your Red Wing, but that is not true in my case. I'm a US 10 on Iron Ranger and a 10 on these gave me a lot of heel slippage. A US 9.5 was way more comfortable, but given that the toe box is so hard when new, I cannot say if this is going to be comfortable, but at least I can say that it does not crush my toe. So, your experience on sizing would be of great help.

I'm considering the black CXL, just because of the versatility.

@the246guy I haven't worn them for very long but they were really comfy out of the box. CXL was soft and flexes well. No blisters. I am a Brannock 10E (9.5E on my left/10E on my right) and took these in a 9E and fit well. I have flat feet with low volume and a low instep. I find they feel really nice on the feet. Lots of room in the toe box. Perfect with a thicker wool sock.

I don't own any Red Wings, but I am a 9E in Viberg's 2030 last, and a 9E in Alden's Trubalance and Barrie last. They all fit about the same for me.

Hope that helps. Highly recommended.

@stichdown-shell Thanks for the reply. I tried them today, they were kind of comfortable, but they look like a beetle when looked from the top and I did not quite like that. Also the tighter waist on these is not making it appealing enough to me. I'm still on the fence with these if I should get them or just pass them on and look for something else.

So, I feel like the ocean of women's boots is probably endlessly deeper and more subjective (if the size of men's vs women's clothing departments tells me anything), BUT I figured I'd give this a shout for my wife's sake.
She's looking for a pair of quality boots. Not disposable fashion boots, and nothing custom or top tier. Just a versatile, easy to wear, good for most occasions, Red Wing level boot. Mid range, if you will. Ask the wives if you must, please! I don't want to buy her another pair of boots that just gets neglected in the closet or falls apart in a year. Thanks!
