Probably leather dependent, my only EB is horween hatchgrain short Chelsea, zero break in, I was running after my 3 years old on balance bike in it on first wear

though it might be 1/4 size too big in my case (or even 1/8, vs your too small case)

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... :brick:
Are yours the black cordovan? Mine's just the regular etrusco calf, although like clee1982 mine are on the slightly loose side, now that they're broken in anyway.

I wore mine a few hours at a time at home to until they were broken in before going a full day, I can't break any shoe in immediately on one wear, even sneakers.

well, on sneaker I put it on and do a 5k run on first wear, I would say the bottom of my feet actually probably feel more pressure point from break in sneaker that way than dress shoe... (edit: but I don't run in dress shoe, so not really fair, and afterwards sneaker is sneaker just pretty easy all around)

ha... I almost got this pair. It was when they were having 40% off, but then only U.K. 8 was left (I like a tighter fit after break in, so U.K. 7.5 is preferred). In any case, congratulations! The FineShoes clearance is one of the best chances to get AM with lasted trees!
Different size so I don’t feel bad about getting them ha. Here’s hoping @Noblekostas friend doesn’t like the Hastatus he got and I can buy them off him :stirpot:

Mine should be here next week, or because Swedish customs are more garbage than Instagram is a platform in 2 weeks.
For your sake I hope it’s sooner (mine came about 5 days before the estimate for what it’s worth)

Not like I am going to wear them yet, I got them because it’s an awesome deal and great video content for my YouTube ?

I have 57 pairs of shoes with a scafora and 8 Santos samples arriving soon....it’s been a royal struggle to sell the used pairs from my collection.
