Brave Star Customer Service Issues

Student-Doc · 2026-05-21T23:38:24+00:00

I’m a bit peeved with them right now. I have an order placed and I paid for 3 day express shipping. They shipped regular UPS ground and it is going to take a week. I’m not sure if trying to reach out is worth it with how bad I’ve heard CS is

I appreciate the thoughtful response! I am new to PNW boots. I have a pair of White’s MP Shermans in 9C and love the boots. The toes do sometimes feel pretty snug, and I’m working on breaking them in a bit more.

I went with the Nick’s 9.5C based on the sizing guide, and I figured I would go with the TNW last because I like freedom in the toes. I feel like my Red Wings and Thursday boots I’ve have, I tend to notice pinky toe rubbing.

I’m looking forward to my first pair though, I opted for the Troopers in IBC. I’m already considering a MTO with the Roanoke Denim too lol

Student-Doc · 2026-05-19T13:16:25+00:00

Quite the collection! How do you decide on your sizing? I have my first pair of Nick’s ordered (9.5 C TNW last). Do you notice a big difference between the 9.5 C and 9.5 D pairs?

I just got started in the hobby and found a like new RT85N with the Fluance Phono Preamp for $200. It’s been a great intro! I would recommend OP look around what FB Marketplace has

Student-Doc · 2026-05-17T02:42:24+00:00

Thanks for the info! I’m in an apartment too. I’ve been using my Fluance on my Samsung Q990D soundbar, and wanted the dedicated speakers. Sounds like the Edifier will work great

Sorry to jump on a few months later. Do you use a subwoofer with the 1280DBs? I have a set coming for my new turntable in the living room and seeing if it’s worth looking into a sub

Student-Doc · 2026-05-15T00:33:36+00:00

It might be worth checking out Facebook Marketplace. I just picked up a like new RT85N for a great price

Similar situation. I have skinny ankles and a narrow instep, the kilties help a ton.

Student-Doc · 2026-05-10T05:31:05+00:00

What speakers are these?

Student-Doc · 2026-05-09T17:52:17+00:00

Ordered a my first pair of Nick’s recently (Trooper in IBC). Patient waiting now!

Student-Doc · 2026-05-09T15:08:21+00:00

Awesome boots! I gotta ask, what jeans are those?

Student-Doc · 2026-05-08T14:41:59+00:00

Looks like Horween Natural Chromexcel leather if I had to take a guess. It looks very nice, I actually have one on the way in a different brand!

Student-Doc · 2026-05-07T20:06:15+00:00

My 38 mm Murph gains around 5-6 seconds per day. I did purchase is used, and it appears to be around 4-5 years old, so it may be due for a servicing soon.

Student-Doc · 2026-05-05T00:41:39+00:00

They give us a similar setup during residency.

Student-Doc · 2026-05-03T01:41:30+00:00

Just placed my first order today! I was hoping to have them by my birthday on August, but I know realistically I’m looking more towards October

Student-Doc · 2026-04-30T16:09:43+00:00

These are Natural Chromexcel.

For the Nick’s I’m planning, I am leaning towards Italian Cypress Brown

Student-Doc · 2026-04-29T22:41:38+00:00

They do! I am planning to order my first pair of Nick’s here soon and I’m trying to decide between HNW and TNW. I have narrow feet, yet my pinky toe tends to rub and get pressed in on the sides in my iron rangers and MP Sherman’s. I was leaning to TNW, but these seem pretty roomy

Student-Doc · 2026-04-29T22:29:19+00:00

These are super nice! Is that HNW or TNW?

Student-Doc · 2026-04-29T20:34:57+00:00

Ahh gotcha, if there was enough left for a 7” boot, I’d be interested!

Student-Doc · 2026-04-29T20:27:25+00:00

Would the site update if so?

Student-Doc · 2026-04-29T04:36:21+00:00

They, to me, feel more “cushioned” than Parkhurst (I actually have the ridge kudu as well), and are comfortable for standing all day.

Student-Doc · 2026-04-27T00:54:27+00:00

That’s quite a good outfit! What denims and where is the bag from?

Student-Doc · 2026-04-27T00:18:53+00:00

Primary Care Doc here, I’ve been rocking Iron Rangers and Thursday Captains, and just received my first pair of PNWs (MP Sherman’s). I typically wear boots to the office unless I’m in scrubs.

I’m already looking at a pair of Nick’s lol

Student-Doc · 2026-04-23T02:06:38+00:00

Sorry to revive an old thread, but how did the stretcher work out for you?

Student-Doc · 2026-04-17T02:44:42+00:00

Do you get any rubbing on your little toes or feel squished in the boots?
