100%. Just 10 lbs for me is a noticeable change in foot volume.

Wait this is a thing?? Is it just like your width that changes? And how much change are we talking about?

No doubt...really sucks with shoes that you could live with being a bit long but fit ok width wise. Then when that width of your foot goes away those shoes will sometimes just not fit right...even with thicker socks.

Can you post a photo of the removable shearling footbed? I’d like to see how thick it is.

Bumping the question below since it's probably gotten lost at this point – any input would be much appreciated!

New to this thread – please forgive me for asking a question that's almost for sure been answered earlier (although I hope you all can forgive me for not wanting to wade through…1500+ pages for the answer).

I'm a 9 or 9.5 in the 2030 (depending on sock weight) – but that's in unlined, non-shell leathers.

So, how do 1) shell and 2) lining affect sizing in the 2030 specifically?

Shell typically is lasted more loose...lining...I would have to look but never have re-sized due to it.

@vettemike ok...so just took the boots off...forgot I had 2 different ones on...Shearling foot def warmer(same socks)..no doubt. Now that is just sitting at my desk with basically a concrete basement floor. I can not comment on walking around or actually getting heated up on a walk.

Thank you – much appreciated!

Anyone else have experience with how both shell and lining affect sizing?

Anyone jumping on the drop today - Asphalt Horse? I initially was all over it but wondering if I'm just excited because it's a captoe and not on the 2030..

Congrats on the boots and the weight loss! I had to sell some boots and shoes that got too big after some weight loss...eeeerrrrr sort of could use them back now...LOL

I'm glad to see someone else posted about this. I lost about 12lbs this year and I'm now a half size smaller on the brannock and starting to notice my favorite shoes no longer fit as well (they feel significantly bigger). It has made shopping for new shoes in the same brands and lasts much more difficult.

Slightly tempted but not a boot I need. They look good though.

No significant difference for me between lined and unlined or shell and non-shell.

I knew there was a reason to stop exercising!

Great. Thanks!

what does it mean to have a semi-structured toe? i've noticed in a lot of viberg shots, the toe box has significant creasing whereas other boots / boot makers do not. are other boots / boot makers fully-structured toe?

anyone?

 

[justsayno]

structured toe means there's a layer of material usually celastic that the toe forms around. Aesthetically, it lifts the toe and gives it a higher profile. Structurally the toe is also not prone to collapse over wear.

Natural Dublin releases from Division Road. They look pretty great and will definitely look better with a lot of wear. Disappointed though that they went with a partially structured toe for the 2030 make up, would have copped if it was.
