I love it when a good thread comes back from the dead.
Wait, what do you mean if the top of the foot isn't full it's hard to get a grip on them?
My Chippewa Engineer's have a really loose topblock, but fit perfectly snug from the ankle down. If the actual foot of a boot fits a little loose, a decent insole will often snug it up enough to fit good.
I think I remember reading somewhere that J had the straps on his engineers or harness boots tightened up at a tailor/leather worker....

I picked these up for just over $800.00. They are from the mid-1950's and are the ultimate safety.

I bought a pair of Chippewa's a year or so ago because they look great (and already have started to develop a wonderful patina) , and they make me sound like a bad ass when I walk around (REALLY loud thud when I step). God awful in slick condition's but I love them, I wear them with jeans in the autumn.
I've ridden bike's since I was a kid, but I'd never wear them when riding, not enough flex at the ankle when using the tran's and brake (I mainly ride sport bike's).
