    RL Gifford Fit Problem Advice

    Ged, I know well your feet and you do indeed have very high insteps. That said I would advise against cutting the stitches this will likely not resolve the problem and just mess up the boots, leaving you with a pair that doesn't fit and can't be sold. Imho I find cordovan to be very supple and...

    Chukka Boots in Boys Sizes

    If you are a hard to fit size and have been looking for a pair of chukkas for some time it is likely that you will have the same experience in the future when trying to replace a pair of lesser quality boots. I would suggest biting the bullet and going for a quality pair of Rider boots that...

    Alden Shop of New York

    Considering the weight of shell cordovan it is amazingly supple. I find that they mold rather than stretch to the foot. Enjoy!

    Shoe Damage Report & Appreciation Central - Part I

    I find the Leydon last runs a little narrower in width across the ball of the foot. That may just be me but I stock these chukkas in an E width only.

    Shoe Damage Report & Appreciation Central - Part I

    Yes, the fit is pretty true. They are a bit snug though at first. But since they are unlined, they will give and mold to your feet. My RM Williams use to be my most comfortable boots. But these chukkas trump RM in terms of comfort. They almost feel like slippers. I see another pair in light tan...

    Stretching the toe box is difficult to do. You might be better off trying another last or a wider width.

    B.Nelson is 2 for 2 -- PERFECT resole of Alden LHS (pics)

    Excellent job Nick. I think it's worth mentioning that the difference between cobblers and "master cobblers" is the craft and artistry the later bring to their profession, AND the materials they use. In a day and age when people want everything done fast and cheap it's important to understand...
