Happy USA Thanksgiving, all. Picked these up in the fall tent sale but it will be spring before they get much use.

First try-ons good...but hoping they will be much better after some wear. That was definitely the case with these:

These look great. I’m considering an order myself.
How do these fit compared to an AE (65 last, 511, or 1757/Higgins Mill)? I have to go a little longer with the 511 personally.
They are longer / narrower than the 511. I could have gone w/ 11.5. The width is not a real problem b/c they stretch / mold to one's feet. Mine are already adjusting to my dogs.

Thanks. I’ve got a pair of bluchers, and wasn’t sure if the boots/chukkas fit the same. If so, I might size up 1/2 size to allow for thicker winter socks. Is it possible to order a different size for my left foot versus my right foot?

I was very tempted by those cool blue suede chukkas, but it looked like they didn’t make anything but D width — and nothing larger than a 13.

My understanding is that Quoddy is very custom-friendly. I read this entire thread and there are many posts about Quoddy bending over backward to satisfy customers. I'd give them a call about any issues you have. I bet they'll accommodate you. Especially this year - I think they all have spare time on their hands.

Good luck!

Is Quoddy customer service usually responsive to email?
I sent them an email last Thursday with 2-3 questions about a potential order. When I didn’t get a response, I followed up with another email Monday night.
I have not yet received a response to either.

Sample size of one but I've had a very difficult time getting a hold of CS. Ordered and sent in a pair of shoes for resole in February. Still haven't heard a peep.

They’ve had your shoes since February?
And you ordered a pair and never received them?
