Okay...new to me 777 XHS. I went straight off the measurements and rolled the dice on this size. I was concerned about the tightness in the thighs but just wearing them for about 20 minutes now they seem to be much more relaxed.

After going back and forth with myself about whether or not this piece would make sense for me, I pulled the trigger on this after running through this whole thread.

Feel like the silhouette of these seem narrower than my other 634s

Just here to give an update. I exchanged some emails with Chris Warren from Wesco and with the guys from Iron Heart I feel good about keeping these now.

Yep... These kinda make me feel like I need more 666 in my life.

Mine are still hang drying, but when I tried them on I didn't feel like the buttons were as tough as the XHS pairs I have. I could be getting better at finessing them too. Lol

@atlasfields yep. Chicago

Just snagged mine from the UPS guy.

@RocknRoll yep I do a very light agitation and no spin. Sop up the excess water by laying the pair on old towels.

@nurunuru Me either. I was expecting a quick sell out. Glad that I got my pair.

@Kjunx Yep that's what I did. I'm definitely not messing with it bc it'll probably get worse. I don't even think about it anymore.

@kaacy1721 that's interesting to hear...I have noticed a trend on the discounted list too....not necessarily Mister Lou but Natural Maryam Tannery Leather. Just want to add that from the inside of the shaft it does feel like I could poke a hole through using my finger pad if I used some moderate pressure. I don't think it's possible to do that in other parts of the shaft.
