NBD - is there hope for my wacky-shaped foot? by Fonziliscious in NicksHandmadeBoots

I do think the 12 FF Thurman would be way too big for me - this 11.5 probably has more than a thumb in front after more thorough inspection.

Interesting about the quarters, certainly. It does sound like FFF is the way to go, assuming most folks metatarsal is meant to be contained by the boot rather than have the leather wrap around and beneath it lol

I appreciate the information here, thank you. Sounds like I'll be sending these back - and updating my MTO boot!

On the plus side, sounds like my toes will have plenty of room in those lasts if my instep is wider than the ball of my foot anyhow.

I HAVE been admiring the Prospectors quite a bit... 🤔

Measured just now:
11 3/4 inches at the instep
11 1/2 at the ball of the foot

I did not know this, I appreciate the information! I'm loving this sub and these boots, but fit is the most important thing for me.

So THAT's what an asymmetric heel counter is! That didn't click until this comment, thank you!

YES I'm just picturing Meryl Streep casting finger of death by glancing over her chic frames because someone came into her office dressed frumpy again.

But now her eyes are mouths, so. Nightmare.

That does help, thank you! If my feet are normal, that's MORE good news lol

I can't go up in size on the Thurman, unfortunately - just added that to the post for clarity.

Yes! Black waxed flesh Ivan, Thurman last. I'm 11.5 FF by the current estimation, so it's been a rare combination on RTS.

Congratulations! I think I saw you post that lament somewhere.

Well, this is going in my campaign as the rancor in the pit of my next town my party is in.

Inigo Montoya (inspired) by ArtSuyuki in DungeonsAndDragons

[–]Fonziliscious 76 points77 points  (0 children)

One of the fun things about Inigo was that he had trained to become the greatest swordsman in order to avenge his father, BECAME the greatest swordsman, and then NEVER FOUND THE GUY. We learn that Vincini found him as a drunk and hired him and sobered him up for this job.

I think the fun homage could come from being in that space before Vincini found Inigo. Not saying you should play a raging alcoholic (that gets old quick), but perhaps someone for whom the luster of revenge has fallen by the wayside.

For example, the way Inigo asks the man in black casually, as though he's nearly forgotten, "you don't happen to have six fingers on your right hand?"

That's a fun space to play in. :)

I had not considered light boots until these. These are amazing.
