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.
