Just received shipping notification on the natural shell slippers!

According to Neil from Standard and Strange 41464 is the 2050 last but with a larger heel cup.

Everytime I’ve spoken to guy from Viberg, he’s used it interchangeably.

So you are saying 41466, 2050 and 41464 are all the same? I knew 41464 and 2050 were, but didnt realize all 3 were the same.

Never seen 41466

That was me. Still waiting.

I talked to them about a month ago and the story was they were finished and sent to the warehouse to ship. After waiting another month I just called on Monday and they said they were for sure sent to the warehouse but they can't find them. They are going to keep searching through next week and if they can't find them they'll have to remake or something.

Hey @stitchedsoles how you liking the fit of the 1035 side zips? Do you have any pics you can share yet? BTW I saw your IG story the other day so that’s how I know you received them. haha

Seems like natural Shinki shell acquires less of the reddish tones than Horween as it darkens. I like it.

Hi guys! First post here. Question:

After how many wears do you know you should have bought your new Service Boots a size bigger, and that this is not going to work?

I was told that the boots should feel tight at first, so between the 7.5 and 8, that both felt ok in the store, I went with 7.5

- so far have been wearing them 12-15 times, almost every day, walked 2-3 miles each time, and there is no improvement to speak of
- they feel tight but not painful when I put them on, or if I wear them at my desk, but after walking for a bit they start to hurt
- my size is 8E in Alden/Barrie last, of which I have several boots in chromexcel and shell that fit me perfectly without any break in (lucky I guess)
- fwiw, based on countless posts I found all over the internets, the only people who downsize from Barrie seem to be people who want more width from the D width, in other words: almost everyone wears the same size in 2030 and Barrie (and Trubalance)
- leaving Trubalance out of the equation because somehow my feet don't agree with that last (neither 8E or 8.5D/E fit me well in Trubalance) but I would definitely size up in Trubalance, not down

While I do understand the break in process, and I don't want to jump the gun as I have been told it can take a month, but I am really starting to think that these shoes are too small.
Any advice very much appreciated!

Yeah, they sound too small. Being on "E" width Barrie, I'd probably have stuck with my Barrie size for the 2030.
