I’ve never had a dream about my shoes, but I have gotten up midnight to check the tracking status of my shoes ?
It was my first time. I was down in my kitchen using a razor blade slicing them right down the middle. Was so vivid that when I woke up to go to the bathroom after I walked into my closet and had to check them out...

I’ve actually had a similar experience. The first time might’ve been when I was car shopping? I think it was that. I was car shopping and I’m one of those, when making a large purchase I drown my life in all this research. I wake up one morning and suddenly I began questioning myself if I had already purchase and decided on a car. I look outside to make sure. Lol. Similar dreams have happened w shoes, but the car dream was the first of its kind.

First day below 80 degrees tomorrow in like forever....I will have boot dreams - as in which ones to wear. With my luck I'll wake up and find out I actually don't own any.

I’m hoping for some sizing advice.

I have a pair of Ottawa boots in 8.5D which fit comfortably but not snug with thick socks and I’m looking at getting a pair of bluchers also on the Leo last. Should I size down to 8D since I’ll be wearing thin socks and a blucher is a bit less size forgiving?

For reference I’m a 8.5D on the Barrie last and a 9D on the AE 65 last.

thanks!

I have 2 pairs of bluchers and some ottawas in 10E and they fit identically (a bit more vertical room in the toe of the boots). Probably worth sizing down if thin socks don't work for you in the boots.
