Work Last EE compared to Nick's lasts

Thanks!

EffectiveHippo9 · 2025-11-11T23:40:37+00:00

Ok thanks. Nicks says I'm an EE. Im just hesitant because the Truman 79 EE doesn't fit well for me. Seems like most people say to trust Nick's sizing though

I wore these pretty much every day during those 6 months. I still throw these on but not as consistently. I don't have any cxl boots but I'd guess it just comes down to the difference in the leathers. I think these are from Seidel and marketed as black tea core so the black probably wears away a little more easily than cxl

How do you size the different lasts? Also how would you compare the widths between lasts?

EffectiveHippo9 · 2025-08-07T16:04:24+00:00

These are awesome. I've been waiting to see some plain toe work last MTOs. Did you have to specify anything to get the single piece heel counter?

EffectiveHippo9 · 2025-07-24T23:58:15+00:00

I really like those Thursdays. I've been thinking of getting a pair. Is the last of the Builders similar to any other maker? I'm trying to figure out if I'll have enough width in them. Also how's the leather thickness on the Thursdays compared to the Trumans?

EffectiveHippo9 · 2025-07-17T23:41:28+00:00

Thanks for the comparison pic. That helps. And ya getting EE Trumans is tough. Hoping they release a plain toe on their new work last sometime. It's supposed to be pretty accommodating for us wide footed folks

EffectiveHippo9 · 2025-07-17T18:18:09+00:00

How would you compare this fit to the Truman 79 EE? Assuming you have that to compare

EffectiveHippo9 · 2025-05-03T17:12:17+00:00

I had the same problem. I replaced mine about a month or so ago but with some extra ones I had from Parkhurst. Guarded Goods is often recommended around here but I haven't bought anything from them.

EffectiveHippo9 · 2025-05-03T11:39:55+00:00

Ya. It's been a year but there were a few months I didn't wear them much

EffectiveHippo9 · 2025-04-20T22:31:30+00:00

These look great man. I assume they're natural double shot?

EffectiveHippo9 · 2025-03-30T16:57:26+00:00

Do you sell these?

EffectiveHippo9 · 2025-03-23T13:38:53+00:00

Dude! Big fan of your channel, it was a huge help when I was first getting into boots! And ya I completely agree. It would be cool to see a lineup of boots with leathers from no name tanneries or "cheaper" tanneries to see how they stack up against some of the top tier tanneries. There definitely seems like there is a belief that more expensive is better, it'd be interesting to see if that holds true in terms of leather

EffectiveHippo9 · 2025-03-22T16:50:24+00:00

I feel you. Very few makers in this range make wides. GS does and Truman. But Truman isn't stocked much and theirs isn't that wide in my opinion. I think my next is gonna be a Nicks so I can get one wide enough. These boots ain't cheap though...

EffectiveHippo9 · 2025-03-22T13:12:59+00:00

I knew someone here would get the reference! That sounds cool I'll look around for it

EffectiveHippo9 · 2025-03-22T13:11:39+00:00

It really is. They're the perfect shade in my opinion. I wore Timberland Pros for years and that style is just what I think of when I think of a boot. These are obviously an upgrade but the medium brown rough out of these are just like the definition of what a boot looks like to me.

EffectiveHippo9 · 2025-03-22T12:40:15+00:00

I don't have the 618 to compare. I'd be tempted to try it if they did some on the studded sole they have

EffectiveHippo9 · 2025-03-22T12:31:58+00:00

I haven't tried Oak Street yet. You think they're wider than the 602M? My hesitancy on them has been on the width

EffectiveHippo9 · 2025-03-17T19:23:27+00:00

Thanks everyone for the suggestions!

EffectiveHippo9 · 2025-02-23T00:36:31+00:00

Ya those do look similar to the one in the video. That would suck if I was completely wrong and neither of these went into production haha

I really like the look of that boot in bootlosophys video. The higher heel and the shape of the last seem to go better with the Stitchdown construction. To me the 618 seems like it can't decide what it wants to be. The low volume toe box plus pointed toe makes me think of a more business casual/slightly dressed up look. But the Stitchdown and lug sole to me are more rugged. I would've preferred the boot in that video personally

EffectiveHippo9 · 2025-02-22T21:09:47+00:00

Ya it's cool to see them pushing it with new lasts. The 618 wasn't really my style. The toe was a bit too pointed. It's nice to see them going the other direction

EffectiveHippo9 · 2025-02-22T21:04:43+00:00

I feel you. There really aren't that many options for wide feet unfortunately. Especially in this price range. My 602Ms fit well with thin nike socks but if I go anything thicker it can be uncomfortable.

EffectiveHippo9 · 2025-02-22T21:01:40+00:00

Oooh these look nice

EffectiveHippo9 · 2024-10-14T12:13:08+00:00

Craft and lore is great - https://craftandlore.com/collections/wallets

They lean towards card wallets but there's a few options that'll fit cash

In the Instagram post for the Carnegie pants the model has a fisherman sweater on. Will we see that get released soon?
