Is that a Montflex or a Brownflex?
Yesterday, I ordered two pair of the Brownflex Chukka in Tobacco Suede by Astorflex. The tobacco suede model is currently on sale at Huckberry (with another 15% off on top of that) That additional kicker along with free shipping and free returns made it hard to resist. I purchased the Greenflex awhile back from Huckberry as well.It does appear that Astorflex has been producing models that have a narrower toe box than the wider silhouette of the Greenflex.
The Greenflex with the (as I referred to it) bulbous toe box.

The Brownflex gives a slightly less rounded toe box. View attachment 2130861
Same with the Montflex.

I might have to give one of them try too. 🤪😀
I still don’t know how you managed to make that Greenflex fit you. But whatever you did, good for you.
Go half a size up to 13.5. That is what the folks at Sanders & Sanders recommend for the Hi-Tops.Hey, I just picked up some sanders chukkas. I have a US 13 (usually wear 13's) and they are a little tight in the toe box. Anyone have any experience with this shoe? Will they give a little or is it a no go?
13 is the biggest size so I’m already at the limit.Go half a size up to 13.5. That is what the folks at Sanders & Sanders recommend for the Hi-Tops.
Well, you lucked out. If the insoles are removable, you can try wearing without them. See if it relieves pressure on your toes.13 is the biggest size so I’m already at the limit.
I guess the snuff suede will give a little but nothing like half a size

Interesting. I just took a look at their site and Sanders suggest going half a size down in the Luther. So TTS may be a good bet. Have you tried on the high top in the past? If so, what was your experience?If you don’t mind a slightly different style on the outsole, which is the oneI prefer with a more pronounced heel, try the Luther from Sanders as it has a rounder toe area as opposed to the more tapered area of the high top.

I never tried the Hi-Top because I preferred the notched-heel of the Luther. I ended up with a 9.5 EU which is roomy in the toe. I may have been able to get away with a 9 but I’m fine with the 9.5Interesting. I just took a look at their site and Sanders suggest going half a size down in the Luther. So TTS may be a good bet.

Thanks for pointing that out.
Now trying to find stock in the US to give them a try...
edit** The hi tops also come in a 'Sam' model made with the same SNO round toe last as the Luther
