First post here. Was wondering where can I get replacement laces, how do I protect my leather, what kind of pants should I wear with my boots, where can I cop these joint at? Haha just kidding... these 402 pages are so redundant and I think I read about 80% of it all.
Kinda stumbled upon the desert boot.. an essential addition IMO. Anyhow, to help with the confusion of sizing I decided to add my personal experience. I wear a 10.5 in all my Nike Air shoes. I decided to pull the trigger on a size 9.5 (eBay for 90 shipped) which were tight in some places but mostly loose, especially in the toe box and heel area when walking. I decided to rip out the useless insole and threw a pair of Black Superfeet insoles which fit like a glove and made the boot much more wearable in both comfort and fitting. The reason I went with Superfeet insole is because they are super slim but give great support when compared to the flat support of the boot. Other insoles I bought were too thick and made the boot fit really tight. I think I could of sized down a half and fitted in some sort of arch supporting athletic ones. Hope this helps!
