well at least it's on a "stock" pattern, so maybe it would be quicker?

I got my shipping notice! So excited to get these babies in my hands.

That beautiful shipping notification.

 

[clee1982]

All right guys just waiting for pictures...

For sure, the last Argentum mto I ordered waited for ~4-5 months...

especially given COVID, they're still not fully staffed I assume (or they can't legally)

@clee1982 @evangel21 thanks guys, that's really helpful. I suppose the 74945, when broken in, is a little loose, which I like because I'm on my feet all day.

I suppose if the chisel 2 is a little smaller overall, but still wide in the toe box, and a touch longer, that broken in it should be fine.

How fast do you guys feel the AMs take to break in properly, in normal calf leather, compared to EB shoes?

 

[clee1982]

In general I don't have break in problem like others do (or I never bother regardless brand I buy, I just take out the box on first day then wear all day and would walk 3 miles in it on day 1 as well). If I think something doesn't work I sell, though I don't own stuff that suppose to be hard to break in (StC/Meermin etc.).

I had pretty much zero break period in for EB/CJ/AM etc.

 

[clee1982]

I think the only one that had more break in period for me was L&T now come to think about it (though that one was borderline tight).

Although I have some pretty awesome stuff on the way to hold me over. ?

Don't really have a break in issue with my AMs and EBs.

You are an absolute madman! If I wear new shoes straight out of a box all day my heels will look like Tim Roth in Resevoir Dogs after he's been shot ?

But yes I find the EBs and CJs are pretty quick to soften, but a pair of justin fitzpatricks is much stiffer

In the contrary, I found EB almost impossible to break in. Given that my pair is a pair black oxford, it never gave 0.25 size to my feet as I believe I am 2 sizes in between...
