Show us your boots

Picked up a pair of Thursday(diplomat) boots 2 days ago. Wore half day yesterday and changed sneakers mid shift. Today rocked them all day and feet are fine. Super easy break in period, pretty great boot imo and nice price. -
@Mizmazzle No toe cap, Dainite outsole. I went with the same size as the 2045 as suggested to me. The 2045 is a bit roomy at the ankle but I can take up that space if I run the laces around the ankle. I heard that the 310 facings are more proportionate.
-
@Mizmazzle I got them and they were too big unfortunately. The boot didn't grip the sides of my foot, and my toe felt kinda far from the toe. I even laced up one foot just to see if the fit would change and it didn't. I even double checked the size and it's the same as the 2045. I just dropped them off at UPS and started the exchange. I do have to say that the Chocolate Chamois is very nice and oily.

The IH forum is both an excellent resource and a terrible menace to my spending account. Diving deep on this thread is bad for my wallet.
I posted these in the Mr Lou thread, despite the boots being a custom order Boss:
And since we're talking Wesco, my Guildsman (fka the Alex):
With work style boots, two others that I'm quite fond of, Red Wing Moc, a classic. Admittedly, it's on their narrower last, and I should really be in a wide last, but the CRT leather is tough to resist.
Because I'm in what seems to be a great region for many things, including bootmakers, I made a trek down to Truman Boots for sizing and was able to convince them to build these out of the last bit of Waxy China Blue. They are part of my Bobcat boot collection, with the Bobcats being the mascot of my alma mater.
And on the topic of my Bobcat boots, I have a thing for western wear, and boots in particular. These Ariats from their Futurity series, built in Mexico, also sport my university's colors.
Lastly, for now, my party boots, python belly from Tecovas:

@Bobcat-Sig nice collection. Those blue Trumans are sweet.
-
@Denimhead-0 Thank you! I'm stoked on them, not only for the color but for the fact that Truman offered to make them one-off for me. I also understand that Truman is moving away from non-traditional leathers and colors, so this is one of the last builds in that regard.

@Dmart they won’t ship overseas? If not new, I see many pairs of lightly used boots available on eBay that should ship to Europe
-
@Bobcat-Sig no, unfortunately they don't. I contacted them once. But you are right about eBay, remains the sizing that can be tricky with Western boots. I have some Lucchese an Ariats and they all vary in sizing. I may however be in Texas in spring next year, that's my opportunity then I guess haha.
-
thanks for showing your Nice Boots everyone. These have been a while with me know.
-
@Dmart fair. I went through three pairs of the pythons to find the best fit. Though to be fair, that’s true of most handmade boots, especially those in exotic leathers.
If you’re in Texas, your boot options are endless. Tecovas are good, but you’ll have access to so much more: Lucchese, Anderson Bean, Rios of Mercedes, and a bunch more I’m forgetting. Boot stores abound, so do a bit of homework on what's available based on your travels.
ETA: autocorrect slaughtered my post

Edit: that is not my foot over the welt, weird leather crease
