Mine too

Can you guys post your thoughts on the Patriot fit when you get it?  I got mine in but sizing was odd.  Granted, I have a large foot (typically 15D), but it just did not fit well.  The toe box was roomy and even a bit too long.  The mid-shoe was very tight.  Heel seems right on which is usually the problem.  I had the store order a 14E and 14EEE.  Hopefully one of those will work better.

My Cronmoks should be arriving today as well.

Do I need different shoe trees or could I use the standard shoe trees?

I use my AE full toe shoe trees in my Cronmoks.  They work great.

There was a good sale on seconds for boots last year.  Amazon also had a great 40% off (or something like that) on all AE's.  I picked up my Malverns last Black Friday for $180.

Bowing appears to be due to a  number of reasons, including fit, construction defect, amount of time the shoe sat on a shelf, etc.  Way too complicated to summarize.

doctor damage, shoes look really nice! congrats on the purchase

But some wear the same size.
I am TTS 9.5D.

Thank you!

My initial thought is that they're too loose. I typically wear an 8D and went with 8D so I'll either go narrow or shorter. Thoughts?

I don't have Cronmoks, but I use AE full toe trees in my Bayfield, Dalton and Fifth Street boots, and they work great.  Cronmok should be the same.

You guys can be pretty persuasive. But I guess i will hold out for the strands! I'll get a pair of black park avenues to replace my eccos in the future.

That chili hale looks stunning! I'll add it to my list!
