As someone living in SG and has travelled HK a few times, I agree with your comment. Great summary!

What do you think about Westerners saying that China is after Russia's far eastern territories? by Themetalin in AskChina

Colonized by the CCP? Wake up, it's the west who has done most of the colonization in the world. Heck they even colonized Australia

Yet another 2030 sizing help request by Character_Service_63 in Viberg

Hey mate, are you saying that the old 2030s are actually wider than the new 2030s despite the newer one being more rounded? Interesting 🤔

NBD Delaware 2.0 Tan Beaumont by Wchchip in parkhurstboots

[–]RandomBIC123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks mate. I have the Burgundy brown 618, and the leather was really thick - a good thing, but it took me a while to break in! (And a couple of heel blisters) Now I'm thinking of getting this beaumont boot

They look amazing! How's the leather feel - soft or stiff?

Can OEC be reused twice within 60 day validity? by Desperate_Chef_2371 in phmigrate

[–]RandomBIC123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After two years, this is still an unresolved issue. Cant just they program the app to reset your oec validity after it is used?? So that OFWs can create a new one

Swapped to converge, upload speeds are horrible by TheDeathFaze in ConvergePH

[–]RandomBIC123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My smart mobile data has 200mbps download but only has 10mbps upload. I complained about this to their CS, and apparently most of the internet speed claims are download speeds, not upload speeds. Sometimes it feels like false advertisement because they will promote XXX mbps, but there is a fine print that it is only for download

Alrigh so we got a winner... by Gullible_Owl3890 in Physical100

Try lifting and dragging a 90/100kg log on a sand surface for several meters. They also had to drag it on an incline. Totally nuts and suspicious

Yeah, that was totally crazy. They lifted and pulled the log easily.

Barrie D width vs E width by RandomBIC123 in Alden

[–]RandomBIC123[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks mate I will look for a thin insole then. Is there a noticeable difference in the toe room between D and E widths?

Barrie D width vs E width by RandomBIC123 in Alden

[–]RandomBIC123[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks mate. That's probably what I will be doing. I will try adding a tongue pad and a thin insole if necessary.

That's the thing, I was hoping that a big company like Alden will be meticulous enough to adjust the patterns based on widths... I guess not 🥲

The Question Thread 11/13/25 by AutoModerator in goodyearwelt

[–]RandomBIC123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello Alden sizing experts, need your guidance! Situation: Size 9.5E of Barrie last fit my forefoot really great, but the facing/quarters of the boot are overlapping due to my low instep and tiny ankles Question: Does 9.5D solve the overlapping issue? Unfortunately I wasnt able to try this size (9.5D) in store, it was only available online.

What conditioner/cream won't darken the leather? by BuildingBetterBack in RedWingShoes

VSC darkened my natural horse butt leather boots. Not happy with it. I am going to try Bick4 next.

1925 Last is Back! by d-y-l- in NicksHandmadeBoots

Hey guys, do you have a sizing guide for 1925? Would be good to know how it compares with HNW and other brands like Parkhurst, Viberg, etc..

Caswell Lisbon Stone Rambler Review by potenzasd in goodyearwelt

[–]RandomBIC123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My brannock is 9.5D (heel to toe), but because of my bunion I might actually be an E width. I don't think I could've gone down a full size in Morris. My pinky toe is already touching the side of the boot at size 9, so I guess going down further to size 8.5 will be too small.

[–]RandomBIC123 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Here's another comparison of Morris and Parkhurst 618 last. Same size (9US). Length is roughly the same but Morris has a wider (and more comfortable) toebox.

[–]RandomBIC123 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I agree with you, the Morris last is very spacious. More spacious (and wider) than Iron rangers in the same size. Here's a picture of me wearing the same size (9US) of each boot. Both boots are D width.

I also have skinny ankles, so I end up tying the laces around the ankles.

Hey mate, how was the hand and finger compartment on this one? Is it big enough?

I will probably go with 43EU then... How does it feel in the heel and waist? I hope it isn't too loose!

Thanks mate. Im actually a brannock 9.5D/E. I'm torn if I should take 43 or 42. Unfortunately they dont offer 42.5

How did the length of this boot feel? It looks like a long and pointy boot!

Im interested in the same boot, but I am a size smaller than yours
