More just the aesthetic. I hate it if you do a tuck.

i assume its because the tongue is sewn into the shoe which makes it harder to pull off but provides good stability


The tongue makes a tuck easier to pull off, to me. I suppose you could tuck them in a way that looks weird but you can do that with any boot.

Toast- I'm a 9 in Free 2's with a green super feet insole (stock Nike insole of course removed) and that's about a perfect fit for me. I have super high arches though. Guidi in 43 is a great fit for me length wise but the width and instep (as previously stated) are the problems.

Any zip boots in this category that you find particularly comfortable in the instep? My arches are high enough that I usually need an insole, but this always makes the problems worse when the shoes are tight in the instep.
Would you hit it, for $595? http://re-porter.ca/shoes/horse-leather-desert-boot
Actually, has anyone here ordered from re-porter and willing to comment on the experience?

I'd hit that.

yah, I can attest to that as well, he has an extremely high amount of knowledge for what he is selling, and gives you an actual explanation of an item more so than any other retailer/seller I've dealt with. I can feel the passion there, and it comes out with his service.

i dont tuck anyway, and it doesnt bother me, the tall boot that i returned had the same type of tongue, i thought it was rather cool
