Currently THE happiest camper because it's in the 50s (~12C) this morning. I need more of this. Why do I live here, again?

After an initial scan, my first impression is that everything looks really sharp! Love the design, and I’m noticing all kinds of cool little touches that give it a great new level of sophistication.

Only thing that jumped out at me was with Future Releases. I feel like “Shop Now” might be a bit misleading for people who don’t know the way this section works. Also when I went to the page, all of the red “Out of Stock” bits on each item seemed odd. I guess this is all just a question of copy — I think it’d be clearer if it just said something like “explore” vs “shop now” and “coming soon” instead of “out of stock.”

As is, to someone unfamiliar with the section, it could seem like these items are available for purchase, but it’s too late and they’re all sold out.

Oh I figured it out quick lol. This rat knows the maze.

I had the same thing happen, then I just clicked the forum link on the down page and voilá. I think a lot of people were running into the same issue, because I noticed there seemed to be a lot less posts yesterday.

@Go-For-Chill I feel like it worked SOMETIMES, just enough for me to halfway give it a personality, like a cool girl who ignores me most of the time. I’d start typing “B-U-C…. BIG BUCK! Look! She likes me today!” Most of the time just the cold silence, though. Sigh.

I’ll chime in on the questions and say no/no/no, but I do use a boot jack just because they’re really convenient. I have a pair of made to measure Role Clubs and two pairs of Mr Lou’s, one in size 12 and one 12.5. IIRC my Brannock size is probably a 13.5, which is why 12.5 seems to be be the most ideal fit for me in Wesco. 12 is doable — a little snug on the top of my foot — but I can get them off and on with no problem / no unbuckling.

The reason I offer all this up is that my first pair of engineers were Lofgrens in 12. I really needed a bigger size, but that was the biggest they made, and they were positively murderous to deal with for a while. I had them stretched by a cobbler twice, and even after breaking them in I still had a really hard time getting one of them on (I have high insteps but my right foot is higher). Thankfully I got past having to use the plastic bag, but once I got a pair that actually fit, I couldn’t sell them fast enough. They were killer boots and I still love the way the Lofgren engineers look, but they were just too small. This is all to say that if anybody runs into that whole mess, just size up if possible and make your life easier.

Hell yeah man. I’m such an anxious person that I live for some chill tunes. Bring on the pan flute!

I just imagined an infomercial. Even MORE chill?!?

@GraemeE ooh what is Blue Moon Safari?

@pechelman yep, that’s what I’ve noticed as well. It took me a long time to figure out that it’s the back rise that’s probably the biggest factor for me in terms of a good fit in the top block. It’s also crazy to think that just a half inch can indeed cause such a difference, but as far as I can tell, it’s true. If I have a pair of 34s with a 15” RR, it’s gonna have that riding-up effect. Now I aim for at least 15.5, ideally more like 16. My sz 34 634XHS that have been my daily drivers for the past 6 months clock in a tad below 16 and they’re perfect.
