I know it's been discussed before but haven't seen a real definitive answer.
What's the sizing like on the Grant last? Size down .5 like the barrie or tts? I'm a 7.5D in an AE, with the #5 last fitting best, a 7D in the barrie and the aberdeen. I tried on a 7.5 in the aberdeen and it was way too long for me.

All I could find is this. I will appreciate if my dear forumites can post some more.Originally Posted by mg428
Nice! I've seen other pics of these boots next to a cigar indy. I guess over time the burgundy fades a little bit and the brown shade comes out more.
Yes, very nice and versatile. They should age well.Originally Posted by Ahab

Just called them up and no 9D.
I do not have #8 Indy's but I would just do it. Classic combo. IMHO you cannot go wrong with Chromexcel, #8 or Cigar Shell Indy's. All should be more versatile and richer looking than black with a new pair of #8 looking black in less than perfect lighting.Originally Posted by Ahab
The #8 is very tempting to me.
Uhhhh... just saw some pics of the Cigar Indy.

Has anyone noticed that all cigar indy boots are storm welted while the color 8's seem to omit the storm welt? I wonder why that is...
Maybe there are some color 8 indy releases that do have a storm welt. But I haven't seen it.

Nice boots amlai.
For those with experience of both the plaza and leydon lasts, a question.
I own a pair of boots on plaza last in 9.5D. They fit well, but are perhaps just *slightly* too snug in terms of width, especially the toe box.
In terms of length, they are pretty much dead on, but any less and I'd be in trouble.
So, would a Leydon, in 9.5E, offer more width and length? Or in would they be too short length-wise if the plaza is already right on the verge?

Leffot calls their cigar boots the 'J.C. indy boot' but they are no longer taking orders for it (according to the site).Originally Posted by Trapp
Yup, saw that too!
I guess waiting 6 months for #8 and even longer for a Cigar is the norm when hunting for these boots
