Yuketen

[unharmed]

And they've arrived. Quite a different shape to what I'm used to but are already starting to loosen up. I think they're going to end up being very comfortable.

Opinions? Im still on the fence, they kinda don't fit my foot right.

Im not sure what its called but the top of my foot is almost too big for the shoe.  I dont know if i should stick it out and hopefully they will break in, or sell them.

[Finn666]

if you're not feeling comfortable and having thoughts about if you able to make them fit…sell'em and cop sth.that fits better from the start!...

[Guest]

Agree with Finn.

[Giles]

Your instep is too large (high) for the shoe.  That is a problem I have. Move them on, you'll never make them work….

Raf, how'd you size your Big Willy's?

[Finn666]

if you taking bout my Johnson's Chris, then it's that i went with my red wing boot size. so same size as rw buddy…

[thomasnunnally]

Saw those camo Maine Guides on sale somewhere that I remember being posted a few pages back…still want those!

How does one find a pair of these Yuketen Paul boots? I can't believe I have never seen these. The Epaulet pair was great

[Finn666]

IIRC then daveo owns a pair of these, just in a different leather!?

Rafa, how are your winters? I'm curious as to how the Cristy sole holds up in snow and on ice. (I'm assuming not so great.)

some wouldn't call our winters even winters but to me, german winters are always shit…a bit of snow, sometimes more sometimes less, a lot of rain and a lot of snow slush (which I fekking hate )...
tbh with ya...the cristy sole is pretty much the last thing I'd wear walking through a lot of snow, snow slush and on ice. pretty slippery imo and you hardly can find any grip...that's also a reason why I'm thinking about resolving my johnson boot with something more badass to get me through the fekked season of the year!...

what you thinking about bro?

[zwer]

Shoreman - I rocked the Maine Guide with that sole all last winter and it was fine. You get more snow and corresponding slush than we do, and I'd be worried about water coming through. I have a waxed leather pair of Maine Hunts that I got in Montreal the year before and they have also been okay.

When I lived in Montreal I had Merrels.

[Guest]

Thanks guys.

It really seems as though I'd need two pairs of boots: one for fall–a bit classier that can withstand a degree of the elements--and then a hiking boot with Gore-Tex lining, similar to the Danner Stumptown.

Yep. My Merrels were god awful to look at it, but goretex and rated to -1000 or something. Too hot to wear on the Metro to work, but perfect for the walk home.

I did wear Daytons when I could, but it was too cold, even with sheep skin insoles.
