Finally got a chance to wear my new #8 NST boots from Context around the house this evening. These were the first pair of shoes (or any clothing item for that matter) that I ever pre-ordered and I am more than happy with the result. Is it sad that I'm looking forward to going to work tomorrow specifically so I have somewhere to wear these to?

enjoy wearing! consider the break in method

the interesting thing is this barrie last fit more snug than my LWB, even in same size

Do you use over shoes? Those soles look nearly untouched.

Sexy boots

Indy boot sizing question guys...

I tried on an 11d in white athletic socks, and the tip of my big toe hit pretty much right at the apron stitch on the vamp, if not a smidge over. This feels slightly long to me, who is accustomed to snug bluchers, but I'm curious to hear your thoughts. I also laced them fairly tight as I like that clean look, and this probably pushed my foot back a little.

Thus far, the most natural fit to me has been 11D in the van last on my LHS, which is snug enough for a loafer but my toes don't pinch at all.

thoughts?


ps....killer brixton boot and context tanks. number 8 is just the best.

Can someone reccomend me a good "casual" black Chukka?

Was looking at Leather Souls Flex Chukka, anyone have any other reccomendations?

Lovely looking boots. Does anyone know if someone did a makeup of a blue suede long wings (besides Frans Boone)...?

I think the whiskey tanker from Leffot is not barrie as it's a lot more narrow than the PTB #8 that I bought from Blackbird. I ordered the same size as my usual size with barrie/trubalance last. Luckily, it still fits me perfectly.

So did I, but in washed tan.

Currently have 4 Chukkas in various shades of Brown, including the snuff suede chukka. looking for a black one and thinking LS black flex chukka might be the best call.
