Someone traded me their 9

gonna see if I can just get a refund/credit for the pre order pair
Honestly you'll be able to sell your 8.5 if they don't. That's a hot ticket in a popular enough size, but yeah even the credit is fine cuz you and I both know you're gonna grab something else from the .com sooner or later haha

Also so the 9 feels better than the 8.5? I'm curious what you think of the 8.5EE when you finally get it in.

I’ve sworn to stop talking about sizing because I clearly have a stupid foot, but based on my ‘educated’ advice, I think 8.5 EE is going to be my sweet spot.

8.5 E vs 9 E obviously will have its differences in fit and feel. The width is miniscule, but more comfortable in a 9E because of the mere fact that it’s cut with more leather. Length also obviously is a tad more in the 9E . Comfort however is definitely in favor of the 9E for me as a 9.5 E/EE

I’m in that constant battle between the two sizes, which I feel the 8.5 EE would resolve for me in fit.

Thomas actually told me that an 8.5 EE would feel like a shorter 9E which sounds good for me

Both look awesome. The second is the Dark Rubber Dublin?

Size 9 on both?
I wouldn't even be surprised if we saw the Dark Rubber Dublin in 2022 honestly. They won't be delivered for a good while.

You may be right. I am happy to wait as long as the boots are made correctly and with no quality issues.

Of course, if they make them plain toe by accident, I won’t complain haha.
