@Denimhead-0 Those are sharp! There's something so very handsome about a fresh pair of moc-toe boots, and yours are no exception.
I'm well into my journey with a pair of 1907 CRT boots, and while I love them, they are visibly too narrow for my foot.
Keep us posted on how yours wear. The chocolate mule-skinner looks really good!
-
@Bobcat-Sig Yeah, love the color, a great Fall boot.

@Oaktavia You are welcome! They're definitely a good choice for that. You do have to compromise on quality, but in return you get a Chelsea boot that couldn't be any lighter. The weight was definitely an additional reason for me to buy my first pair. Another reason was that I wanted to treat my feet on days when I wasn't breaking in new, heavy boots we like because of their quality and craftsmanship . Here in Germany, I only buy new or like-new Blundstones from private sellers on classified ads for around €100. Only my first pair I bought in a store, as I went there to find the right size for me. Paid the retail price (€190/€200) only once.

@matt_rost A good point - I paid £90 for my pair, half price in a sale. I wouldn't have paid full price for them.

@Oaktavia Check out Redback boots ~ very similar to Blundstone and they last much longer. I switched over and use them as a work boot. I think they are still made in Oz

Bean boot makes a Chelsea too

I feel the same... Half price is a no-brainer (for me), then the price-performance ratio is right.

@Walery-Smirnoff Very nice, those are classics for a reason. Congrats!

@pechelman o you brush after oiling to get the nap back up?
-
@goosehd those are still awesome. I shed a tear every time I see those.

The patina on these White’s is amazing.

Guys, real talk. I finally got it together and got some shoe trees and I picked 42/43 but the boots are a little all over the place in sizes from different brands.
I do have to push them in, but I wouldn‘t say I have to force them in. I also wouldn‘t say its a slips right in kind of experience.
Can someone tell me if these look too big for these shoes? I don‘t want to stretch them out with shoe trees…

@NickD thanks!
-
@pechelman I went ahead and gave mine some oil…similar color change to yours. I’ll say that after one day they’re already lightening up!
Thanks for the advice
