I've heard of this trick.

Do you carry a plastic bag around in your pocket, then, for when you visit a friend and need to remove your shoes?

Haha, no but I do carry one in my luggage when I travel.

I feel you although I don't have lofgren boots, I got my role clubs that seriously every time I put them on they make me sweat and I'm just trying to stop them in. It's such an utter pain **********. Although the one that people tend to give me the most **** for when throwing on is my Clinch x Black Sign Transcontinental boots. The amount of lacing on it is just insane lol

That's why 16th c. lords had servants.

I'm looking to buy a pair of rolling dub trio casper in guidi calf.

I'm a brannock 9.5 borderline medium /wide width.

Should I be going for 8.5(26.5cm) size or 9(27cm)?

I think you'll probably be okay with an 8.5. It's fairly accommodative. If you sat in the "E" width on brannock you'd be better served with a 9

Very nice! These USN style shoes are some of my favorite, although I've only had one Japanese version, it was a bit too narrow. Haven't had a chance to try Makers, and I've seen Jelado now makes a service shoe too that looks solid. Hard to find 28cm most of the time though too.

Not usually a fan of glazed leather but that teacore glazed kip on the jelado looks pretty good



Barnstormer still has your size available

If I've learned anything about japanese shoes is that I need to try on in person first heh. I've had too many surprises with things that technically fit me, but didn't 'like' the fit at all. RDT was especially the case. I'll be in Japan in less than two weeks though so I'm gonna be hunting around a bit haha.

Does anyone have a recommendation for boots similar to Rolling Dub trio? The sizing is so hard to get right for me and the boots are hard to find as well, but I do love the style. Thanks

The new Leffot 379x Alden military shoes are similar in style. The 379x is one of my favorite lasts.
