Very nice, I have a pair in the Dune CXL that I'm just getting broken in. They seem to wear much like my CXL Diesels. Black CXL Brass Boots are scheduled to arrive tomorrow, I might have a problem. ;) Also, I noticed that you have some experience with Truman and Viberg. How would compare them with Grant Stone based on break-in, comfort, sizing and durability?
I have / wear the following sizes:
Grant Stone Leo/Alexander/Floyd : US 13 E
Truman 79 Last : US 13 EE
Viberg 2030/1035 : Viberg 13

All my Grant Stone boots are CXL and hence very easy to wear from the first wear and not really any breaking in required. My only pair of Truman is in Horse Rump and rubber sole so was easy to wear and comfortable after 3-4 wears. All my Vibergs are Maryam horsebutt and that is a thick leather so it took quite some time to get them broken in and comfortable. With the number of pairs I have amd the wear I get in rotation I am still not sure if they are broken in completely.

They are all made very well for what they are. Vibergs are and they feel a bit more robust in construction and refined in terms of look. If pushed i could wear them in a business setting also. Truman seem short and stubby and hence I will remain at just 1. Grant Stone is fully casual and is great with jeans and chinos. All sizes were recommended by the makers and knowing my wide feet I have landed on the correct sizes from the beginning.

Hey, anyone know where I can get a narrow fitting (B) boot, please?

Viberg, Yuketen, for example, are only available in a standard D width as far as I can find.

It was the same over at Alden NYC.

Besides ordering a custom pair from somewhere like Nicks, are there any other options?
