@FlavourFade a few thoughts from my personal experience with larger feet and handmade boots…

My perspective is that there seems to be a lot more variability in sizing and fit throughout the “middle” of the chart, with outliers like me on the ends often taking the largest size that Japanese boot brands will offer. Just my observation but it seems like it can be a lot more difficult to nail down the perfect fit for people with smaller feet.

I don’t have as much choice, and in RDT for example they don’t even offer half sizes in the larger boots. So I either take a 12 that’s comfortable and slightly roomy, or try to squeeze into an 11. I also learned that the Japanese domestic footwear market prefers a roomier fit, which explains why RDT Boots feel and fit the way that they do. American consumers and boot brands tend to suggest/prefer a snug fit.

I find way less variation with size 12 boots and wear that size in Wesco, Russell Moccasin, RDT, Addict, Zerrows, etc. and they all work very well for me.

That being said the addict is definitely a snugger fitting boot and last shape in size 12 than the Casper, but they are like comparing apples and oranges to me- so they will always look and feel different on foot.

@FlavourFade the addicts have more toe spring, and a much lower volume last with a pointier toe box and shorter instep. Casper’s in 12 took zero break in out of the box, whereas these in 12 are going to need more time, wear, and stretching to get them broken in. I love both but they are totally different, and I would say the addict is more like a cowboy boot in terms of how they feel vs. the Casper is really its own unique thing. All that being said RDT makes more comfortable shoes out of the box.

@Anesthetist I absolutely love it, it’s my new favorite piece and have been wearing it constantly. I’m a big fidgeter and it really satisfies that part of my brain.

@Tago-Mago this is super helpful, I had not seen this new feature. Thanks so much for sharing!

@AdamJ exciting news, is this something we could anticipate seeing before the end of 2026?

@ShopatIronHeart any word on a restock for this?

Hoping one of you folks may have one of the recently released black Sashiko hats that you would be willing to pass on.

Cheers!

AB-05SS-CL Steersuede Zip Western Boots

I bit the bullet and scored the last pair of these in my size direct from Addict.

Extremely impressed right out of the box, absolutely impeccable construction and the steersuede aromas are mouth watering. I went true to size with my other handmade boots and the 12 is spot on, I think sizing down too aggressively would make the pull-on impossible for those of us with large feet.

The CL last is definitely low volume, but fit perfectly without the insoles for my initial try on. With some wear time and stretch I may decide to use the insoles.

Highly recommend Addict for fellow forum members who are interested in their products. So stoked to see IHUK picking up Satoshi Ishijima’s incredible brand!

@ShopatIronHeart what will the price be on the zip western boots?
