'This shit is such middle class loser shit. These welted nonce boots are dog shit. I used to work at a high end mens boutique and these kind were in there and as I've got very large feet items they didn't sell in my size I'd get like 75% off to clear stock.

They fall apart like crazy. My 80 bucks Dr martens Chinese boots meanwhile lasted me 14 years so far.

I get fashion as a concept but most of it seems to be tricking middle class retards into buying overpriced crap. Real rich people wouldn't be seen dead in any of this shit.

My wife worked at a major fashion house in Milan and genuinely rich people were buying custom no logo white t-shirts to spec for 4k for a single.

I get spending 8k for some bespoke shoes from England that get resolved and you get your own last and future stuff at around 2k to your own last. But this kinda shit is the dumbest shit. It sucks and it's relatively expensive compared to what you guys earn

When I became rich I bought 3 bespoke shoes. One bespoke boot one bespoke set of loafers. 4 spec suits, bunch of imported Italian jeans and shirts and ts all tailored and nice silk boxers and Egyptian cotton socks. 2 overcoats, 3 jackets, a few casual CP rain coats and all in it cost about 50k. But I'm basically set forever with 2k a year in replacements on new orders.

I know some middle class people spending as much over a decade to rock this kinda absolute trash.';

European, so no brannock device here. I wear a 10US in nike, new balance, adidas, puma and vans, with nike and new balance being a perfect fit. I went with a US9.5D on Iron Rangers but always felt the the fit was a bit looser than what I wanted and there wast just too much room at the front of the toes than how I like footwear to fit. I put a thin leather insole inside the boots and that solved it to a degree but I was never satisfied with the fit. I ended up trading them for another pair on US9D. The fit is a bit more snug and the ammount of room in front of the toe is just right.
Bear in mind that I like boots to fit somewhat snug, but not tight and I wear medium thickness socks.
So half a size from your best fitting sneakers is a safe choice and a full size down could work but ymmv.
Assuming you're a D in width, and don't need an E or something, that is.';

It's hard to say. I've seen people say go a full size down from Brannock and others say go a half size. For me both were right and I think it really depends on the leather.

I’m a US 10d (9.5 in boots) and I got viberg 2030 in size 9. I thought they were too big at first but after a few months of wear and the weather warming sometimes they feel a little tight. 9.5 probably would have been too large.';

doesnt seem very complicated, I have horse fat for shoes at home, and what do you mean by sizing being less forgiving?

'>>18092837
you'd think so but I think Dale got it right. I have a nicks kiltie and it slips to the side after a full day. not enough to expose the edge but enough that it bothers me. this shape eliminates this problem and beefs up around the shaft and can really help with fit on grant stones if you have skinny ankles
the tpr has such rich, deep color. has a touch of the typical horsebutt scally patern too

hands down if you're getting kilties get them from Dale. the only caveat is I think he buffs the reverse side so instead of it being roughout its more of a nubuck. not an issue at all but it's not really reversible

I'll stop shilling now';

'>>18093091
it's probably the only full veg tan insole on the market without some form of cork/foam backing
no idea how they fit in the boot or how to size them correctly, so you may have to email him
the half insoles could slide around inside your boot though and you may need to glue them down
also you won't really get arch support with a flat piece of leather so you'd have to glue an additional lens-shaped piece of leather under the insole';

'>>18093122
I also bought one of these from Nigs, and that little strip of extra leather on the inner side seems to help a lot with arch support.';

'>>18093129
i would try, but this looks like it takes a lot of space up on boots that are not designed for an additional insole or are too big.';

'>>18093130
That's a valid concern, and it definitely wouldn't have fit if the boots were already snug. But I HATE snug boots, so I always get extra wide shoes. It ended up working out this time.';
