maybe my memory is bad and i went through the same thing the first time lol. mr moo its because i'm a true e width on the brannock but i stick with d width and i just go up half a size. so whatever shoes i end up getting usually does mold to my feet.

even my cordo aldens did the same breakin on the aldens is less brutal because the soles aren't as stiff as these babies. this is probably why all my barrie lasted alden shoes in cordo look so sleek and not blobby my feet stretched them to make them flat lol.

The left boot has a big scuff (looks like from the sander) as well as 4 crease lines that look like they were left by some sort of rolling device. Anyway, looks like they are going to get them remade for me. Sucks about the extra wait though. I was looking forward to wearing them.


Lol just saw this both the tip of the toes on my boots had a scuff the kind that looks like It hit something. I also had the rolled creases on my left boot.

Update for mr moo on the break in turns out i just needed to leave in shoe trees overnight in them. maybe the liner was a bit stiff feels like butter so far but my real test for shoes/boots is wearing them straight for 10hrs+ lol. maybe this is why i don't remember i must have left in trees first in the my very first pair before even wearing them.
