My Ranger Natty CXL, 1/2 size down, sockless only.
With Happy feet inserts these are sooooo comfortable.
One of my most comfortable pair of shoes.
They arrived with a dark patina and are getting even darker, love it.
You can tell I was putting up strawberry jam while wearing these. Photos can be unforgiving.

What Happy Feet Soles do you use? Was thinking of getting a pair for my ranger mocs.

Caramel heading into the weekend. Kicking it off by spending the day driving around in holiday traffic for doctor's follow up visits, gonna be a real rapturous blisscake-extreme kind of day.

Interestingly enough they don't look quite as red in the morning light as they usually do in the shade.

I hope everyone has an awesome, fun and safe July 4th weekend! And of course the same for those who don't celebrate the holiday - May your Friday be better than mine!

Are those soles vibram 430 mini lugs?

232. Amazing grip, ridiculously comfortable out of the box and in their 5th summer and wearing like iron!

...although to be fair they haven't been out much in the past 15 months. :/

I had been looking to get the 232 on pinch penny - Rancourt recommended lactae hevea cricket soles as a more comfortable alternative. Good to hear that the 232 is comfortable as well...and seems more durable than the LH.

I have 232 and LH, and LH is definitely more comfortable. 232 is fine though.

I have espresso pinches on 430 and absolutely love them. The mini-lug baby commando is low profile and doesn't compromise versatility, but still has amazing grip and was also seriously comfortable out of the box.

Yeah yeah go tell it on the mountain Holmes.

Heh. Hope you're having a good weekend my man. :)

Was just thinking about those! Contemplating some espresso Rancourt as my first foray into shell. Probably not yet though, still.

I bet maxi ripple is better than all of them :)

Have a good one!

Your espresso pinches with 430 are like a celebrity - like, I've followed them! In fact, the photos of those and your account of wearing them even to geothermal landmarks are what got me interested in the espresso pinch pennies with commando soles.

Perfect, thanks! I was trying to find them last time you posted about them and couldn't find them. Adding Terry Cloth to the search did the trick. Thank you sir!

I can't believe you remember that! They are such a perfect travel shoe. No matter how scuffed or scratched they got, they'd clean right up with a damp wipe with a hotel washcloth. I honestly couldn't be more impressed with them - Per the usual, of course given the general rockery of Rancourt shoes ingeneral. :)
