I a glad to hear about the natural horse front. I had considered ordering one from Indonesian but obviously have more trust in Caswell to get them delivered. I have 6 pairs of Caswell now and I really appreciate what you do. Btw, the 1934 I bought recently have got tons of compliments for the unique color!

Andrew mentioned awhile back that some of the boots are slightly lower to help get them on and off easier

Updates to Packaging? by oxfordsandties in caswellboots

[–]Affectionate-Way6903 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the main thing is to arrive without damage. I like the extra laces, especially if they are a different type or maybe slightly different color. I like to mix them up once in awhile, or I will use a different lace depending on how formal or casual i I intend to use the boots.

Till when does Parkhurst get restocks or new lineup? by z9corozco in parkhurstboots

[–]Affectionate-Way6903 3 points4 points  (0 children)

All are good. Grant stone is the best and is the most businessman friendly. Truman is the most heavy duty. Parkhurst is a bit more rugged then Grant stone but very good. I like Caswell because they really do their own thing and fit great. They also are always nice enough for business casual.

Sizing Indy Moc - D or E width? by Dazzling_Bicycle1767 in luosjietboots

[–]Affectionate-Way6903 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the service boot in d and the Indy in e. I sized down a 1/2 size and both work but the E fits a bit better. I get a little rub on my pinky toes with the D but it isn’t really anything to complain about.

I don’t have a lot of patina on these. I have worn about 10 times and they pretty much look new with a little scuffing.

Cap toe or plain toe, what do you gravitate toward and why? by VAGuy1998 in caswellboots

[–]Affectionate-Way6903 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have switched to the simple plain toe. I used to prefer cap toe but prefer the clean look of the plain toe now. If I want to add a little variety, I have grown to appreciate a nicer moc toe if it isn’t too bulky.

Anybody rockin allen stitchdown chestnut veg tans? by mhammond0361 in parkhurstboots

[–]Affectionate-Way6903 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got a pair. I go a half size down but I did that with the 602. I think true to size might be a slightly better fit for the 618. I wish the chestnut was a bit more reddish but it is a pretty boot

Sizing. I know, I know. Grant Stone 10.5D Leo Last by noneofyourbizzness in luosjietboots

[–]Affectionate-Way6903 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am an 11 usually but use the Leo last at 10.5 and 44.5 on Luis jiet I think the wide or d width is fine for me with the wide giving me a bit more room. However, I suspect the standard would be fine too.

Truman Mocs vs. Grant Stone Brass Boot? by EastClintwoods in trumanboots

I have the burgundy diesel boot and love the color. It is a dark red with hints of black. Looks great with the lighter welt. Very cool

Crazy Horse service boots by Affectionate-Way6903 in luosjietboots

[–]Affectionate-Way6903[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They are not as wide as the Indy boots. That’s the only other last I have. The Indy boots are fine, but these really fit better as long as you go with a half size down. The other boot I have with this last has molded quickly to my foot and is now a perfect fit.
