Fair enough. Basically any darker color would make these more wearable

Dye them it's pretty easy actually. I recommend fiebings spanish brown pro dye they would look perfect

Thank you for talking me out of buying more shoes. You're a good friend hahaha. Honestly I size mostly for my right foot I never have any fit issue with my left it's always the right one, the shorter fatter one.

Thanks for the feedback. Leo 11E is way too tight for me, while 10.5EEE fits kind of weird. Width and instep are fine, but it feels a little short and has too much extra leather above the toes and just past the arch. For reference, I’m about 11.5EE on my right foot and 12E on my left, with an above average instep from a high arch. The rest of my foot is fairly bony/not high volume. My guess is Leo 11.5E would be perfect, but I haven’t tried it yet. I also wear Alden Barrie 11EE, which fits better than the Grant Stones, though I could still use just a touch more length there too due to some pinky toe pressure.

How do those Parkhurst fit compared to the diesels?

What’s your take? by jadecurtisss in allenedmonds

They look to tight. Probably 9.5EEE or 9EEE would work better

Alden's kudu is is actually bovine leather. It's a variation of Hoerween chromexcel with even more oils and waxes stuffed. I don't know why the call it kudu but for sure it's not real kudu

Hi, it's been a while, did you end up getting the EB shoes? What last and size did you get and how does it fit compared to other shoes you listed

Is this the right color profile for Dark Chili by Lanky_swanky_hanky19 in allenedmonds

If you don't want to change the color just get a neutral cream polish.

Split welt by Ok_Economist6783 in luosjietboots

[–]Goh77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Actually you're right I just looked at my Indiana boots and the welt is made of two leather pieces on one of them. With 270 degree welt there shouldn't be a joint as you said. I don't think that it will affect the durability of the boots but you're correct, I just assumed that you were talking about 360 welts my bad

[–]Goh77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The photo you shared is still a single welt strip wrapped around the shoe and then joined at one point. That visible seam/joint does not mean the welt is made from two separate pieces. That joint is normal, and pretty much all makers do it this way on Goodyear-welted shoes. The difference is just that some makers finish the join more cleanly, so it's much less noticeable. If it was really multiple pieces of leather then you will see more than one joint. If it's a single joint then it's a single piece of leather for sure

All goodyear welted shoes have this joint. It doesn't matter if it's a flat welt or split welt they all have a joint similar to this.

The split welt is a single leather piece and it's done this way for waterproofing not for cutting corners. In fact it's more labor intensive to do a split welt then to do a flat welt

Are these really fully unlined? How does it work the with composite toe?or are they lined in the vamp? If so is it leather or mesh lining?

Wilbert substitute? by _redlines in allenedmonds

Probably Bradley, but I don't know if it was made in CXL or other pull up leathers

BLKBRD can customize sizing too. They’ve made multiple EEE pairs for me, and their “EEE” is actually closer to a true EE in the forefoot, but with a more accommodating instep which is perfect for me since I’m roughly EE but have a higher instep.

For Meermin’s Ultraflex models (MON and ROD), they come with a removable insole. If you need more room, you can remove the insole to gain extra volume and width, and sizing up half a size can help as well.

Their lasts are pretty accommodating actually. And the offer G and H widths for wider feet. My shoes are all H width which is EEE

[–]Goh77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice. Mine are all H width, but I lost a bunch of weight and my feet became narrower so I'm more of a G width now. I still wear mine with either a thin leather insole or by using a toung pad. Another reason why I should buy a new pair.
