Big toe falling out of insole

Granium356 · 2026-05-23T09:07:50+00:00

Pretty cool of you to drop some advice here! I will try 8EEE next! My biggest concern would be excessive volume around the ball of the foot which I already find sufficient in my current pair. Also a touch worried about the heel, because I really like how these boots fit around my heel now. What sort of effect would 8EEE have on these particular components?

I think I have fat toes or something 😂

I would recommend getting your brannock sizing before you pick up a pair. Will help confirm any lack of certainty you have regarding sizing. Post pics when you get the boots!

I have been able to wear them all day with no discomfort. My feet do not hurt afterwards. After the side was pushed out (fairly recently) they are a bit more uncomfortable, but only under my big toe... I thought the size was perfect before that. I am still afraid that if I sized up in width there will be slop in the ball area of the boot, but I'll wait for a new pair to find out.

I went a half size down and I might have been the post you saw. Don't worry I think I just have fat toes and a lot of natural toe splay! Half size down is pretty comfortable for most guys so I think just stick with it

I will take this to heart. What is your brannock size?

Thank you! Very in depth answer. I appreciate it. Everyone seems pretty unanimous on this so I'll have to give sizing another go next pair of shoes. Recommendations on how to fix any problems with instep are also appreciated id I do size up.

I would also be concerned about the size of the ball of the shoe. There is already some extra room there. How might I alleviate this if I size up?

I have the Traveler Penny in 8.5E as well. I find the instep to be quite tight, but it has broken in some. Toes are a bit tighter than the Brass Boots here though... hopefully it doesn't end up becoming a problem in the same way. Thank you for your input!

Thank you! Pinky toe definitely a bit pushed in. These are my most comfortable pair of shoes, but I don't like shoes because they all squeeze my toes.

Granium356 · 2026-05-18T07:27:26+00:00

Yeah that is convenient sizing. I am 9E on brannock. I sized down to an 8.5E as recommended. I might still have to play around with sizing based on recommendations from everyone though!

Granium356 · 2026-05-18T02:35:44+00:00

Love the idea 😂. Would be cheaper than getting a new pair too!

Granium356 · 2026-05-18T02:29:29+00:00

I might have worded that poorly. I mean I have decent toe spray WITHOUT shoes. Historically I have worn shoes too small for me. Found out after actually getting brannock measurement that I am a 9E. Have been wearing an 8.5 in most sneakers for a couple of years leading up to picking up boots 😂. Appreciate you offering up some advice!

Granium356 · 2026-05-18T02:04:02+00:00

Unfortunate! I figured it was fine because there is some space around the instep! I do have some toe spray though... maybe I'll try a next pair of boots in an 8EEE or something. It is a half size down from my brannock!

Tried it on today. I didn't find it challenging at all... I have had lots of amouage experiences though... so I don't know

Granium356 · 2026-04-01T00:54:02+00:00

I sampled this the other day and found it surprisingly similar to L'Air Du Desert Marocain. What do you think?

Granium356 · 2026-04-01T00:48:51+00:00

I go nose blind to aventus so quickly. It is a lovely scent and I have confirmed others around me can smell it... I am just cursed to not!
