A little room in the toe is how I like mine.

@SG thanks for the comment.

nice timeless builds jordan23 & Bums_Fan.

How much room to do have in the front?
-
oh, those might be too small . Size and comfort is an individual thing, but I was always under the impression that you want a thumbs width of space in the front of the boot.
-
I apologize if this has been beaten to death, but where in this thread (ie page number) may I be able to find pros and cons of getting a double mid sole + standard height heel?
Thanks,
i don't think there are any pros or cons.. maybe a double mid sole takes a little longer to break in? but that's about it.
-
^ I went the DBL sole cause I reckon it gives the boot a much more substantial look, which I like in the SD boot.
Cant comment on break in, but accordingto Giles and Mega it makes little difference. Moreso the shaft leather chosen will affect breakin time/initial comfort.
But, mine havent arrived yet, so i may be well off-base.
-
i dont think it will make a difference comfort wise, but it will def. take much longer for the midsole to loosen up and flex easier.
-
if it gets flexible at all! while double leather without a rubber outsole is rather flexible from the start, the combination with a composition outsole isn't getting any softer from my experience. not a problem for me, but if you want a flexible sole, i suggest you dont choose a double midsole.
