      After playing with my boots a bit more, I think I have the right size after all - I was worried because of how much room I have in the toe, but the boots don't slide around on my foot, the heel fits right, and the widest part of my foot pretty much lines up with the widest part of the shoe.

      It's weird to think that I've been into denim and stuff, and have owned a few pairs of boots over the years, but never really knew how to look for whether or not my boots fit well. Oh well, everything's a learning experience - and I'm glad I don't have to sell these (beautiful) boots.

      Those look awesome Bluegrass! I'd be really tempted to get my service boots in Brown or Natural Chromexcel. I know a lot of people dislike Chromexcel, but I think it suits this style of boot perfectly and I'm very happy with how mine looks. I've noticed that older, stitchdown versions of the CXL #8 boots have a much brighter, reddish hue, but I prefer the purplish brown of the leather used on my boots.

        @BrownIcon is entirely to blame for me ordering these.

                  I like em too, but it's weird compared to what I usually see (danite, stacked leather, marshmallow, sure I'm missing one or two but you get what I mean).

                  I had a pair of ripple sole Oak Streets a while back but they were huge ripples & they felt like I was walking in a bouncy house kind of sort of  😉

                  great looking boot,  @wolle did you get them on the 1st release from 3sixteen or the rerelease?

                                About the only thing you can do is get them (expensively) re-lasted…..

                                Can only imagine what that will cost… plus postage from the uk ... headed for the selling section I think

                                Contacted Viberg and the relast costs 219USD plus shipping both ways, it includes a resole and they can take up to half a size off. Thought this might be useful for anyone who has had similar sizing issues..

                                      My Hopper engineer boots are in the post. 😘

                                      I picked them up today, after delays involving the Australian customs service. I managed to dodge any import duties, which is a relief.

                                      They're made of a brown chamois leather, which I think is from Horween, and have an unstructured toe. Being unlined, I think that they'll slouch with age, and look awesomely patinated eventually.

                                      The boots were intended as a homage to Dennis Hopper's character in Easy Rider, and were done as a part of a Styleforum group buy. There's talk of doing another run, this time with a partially structured toe, but I think they're better being a big squishy.

                                      My only dislike is that they went with a Cat's Paw heel. These are renowned for not wearing well, and I'll have to replace it sooner than if they'd used a Vibram alternative.

                                        nice pick, really love the color… and can second that Cat's Paw heel part, I see it on my Wild Ones, looks cool, but wears down way too fast...

                                          Thanks @rocket.

                                          I don't get why people spec the Cat's Paw unless they're not getting worn that heavily. Still, a heel is pretty easy to replace when the time comes.
