Do any of you gentlemen take 1035 lasted shoes/boots a half size down from your 2030 size?

Is your current 2030 Size 1/2 down from your brannock size or 1 size down?

I don’t. Unless you just have a ton of length left over in the 2030, id stick with the same size. Or maybe if you have very narrow feet.

People afraid of the Gloxi?! The Gloxi needs to be embraced.

Personally, I think they look good but wear down too fast.

Granted, I only have the navy 3sixteen pair but they’re easily the most comfortable of any outsole I have on my boots (dainite, vibram 2060, christy).

I just wish they’d do something like their workboot line where they have a thick durable rubber surface but foam cushioning:

Bobcat 6

36 Bobcat 6" Work Boots. The Bobcat plain-toe work boot is built for those who spend a lot of time on their feet, but don't need the full protection of a safety boot. Classic yet versatile, this 6" boot will give a lot of support with added durability, so this boot will outwear any other pair...

DR’s makeup on the 310 has the foam between the Gloxi and the upper, if that’s what you’re referring to. Really not a fan of the 310 though.

Half down. I'm just wondering because the waxed nutmeg kudu Brooklyn Clothing pair is on sale and there's a size one size down from my brannock available ? curious how other people size is all. I know Richard with Withered Fig said he wished he sized a half size down for his mushroom oxfords to wear em with thinner socks but haven't seen the opinion much else where when concerning boots.

I know the temptation. Rivet and Hide doesn't stock 11.5 and I've been tempted to just get an 11. But ultimately I wouldn't reach for it bc 11.5 is much more comfortable.

Who did the resole? I've got two pairs of Vibergs I need resoled. And I'm in Texas if the Instagram post is implying they can be done there.... Sweet.

Pekin Shoe Repair in Illinois. But they aren't doing mail-in repairwork any more.

Have you checked with Viberg? They will resole.

What would a "ton" of length constitute? An inch and a half or two inches plus? I'm trying to nail down my 1035 size too and I size down 0.5 from Brannock for 2030. Definitely have some left over length but doesn't seem uncomfortable and the arch support seems to line up pretty well
