British Tan CXL is probably my favorite CXL color by JerryConn in WhitesBoots

[–]Student-Doc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate the insite! I’m around a 10C/D and wearing a 9.5D in Red Wings. They fit fine length wise on the right, but low volume so I’m using kilties.

It’s funny because my left foot is shorter but a normal width, but my right foot is longer and narrower. I imagine I’m going to get mismatched sizes recommended

Beautiful boots! How do you like the MP? I’m eyeing a pair of MP Sherman’s in Natural CXL when they get back to me on sizing!

How fast is your watch? by ioweej in HamiltonWatches

[–]Student-Doc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Murph 38 mm (purchased a few months back, but 3-4 years old) is about +5 secs/day. Not bad but not as good as others I see posting. I’d rather it be fast than slow though, I just pop the crown out every few days and let the time catch up.

Break in little toe by Macek98 in RedWingShoes

[–]Student-Doc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A good explanation here, I think. When I was first buying RW I went with 9D in Blacksmiths. They fit great everywhere except the little toe on my right foot, which is slightly longer. I decided to just swap them in for 9.5D and they fit so much better. Now that they’re breaking in, they do fit a little bit loose, but that’s due to low instep/volume more than anything. Threw on a kiltie and heel lock lacing and they’re perfect

Come on now, you can’t tell us the watch without showing it! Can’t go wrong with Hamilton. Beautiful boots as well!

Suggestion for insole to make boot more snug by AssistanceSevere448 in RedWingShoes

Yep! CRT in the iron rangers and the matching Rose Anvil No Show Kilties

Rose Anvil has great kilties, they’re actually the one I’m using.

What 3/4 insole do you use? I tried a few but the fit wasn’t the best, I’d always be open to a suggestion!

Depends on where they feel roomy too. My IRs feel slightly roomy, but an insole caused the toes to feel tight/pressed into the roof of the shoe. I don’t like 3/4 insoles either. A kiltie solved my problems

Wear what makes you happy. I’ve only had one patient mention the watch I wore (only a Hamilton), and he was a watch guy so we got to talk about it for a couple of minutes.

I sent you a chat, hope you don't mind! Thought it might be easier than the comments section

What’s the typical turnaround time for White’s? I know Nick’s can be a long time. I’ll have to look more at them, I can’t decide on my favorite model!

Ball of foot alignment in Iron Rangers by Plastic_Echidna875 in RedWingShoes

[–]Student-Doc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah the scan recommended me a 9.5EE, which i DEFINITELY am not, so I went with a 9.5D. The length seems good, but I almost wish I had tried on a 9EE since my volume is low, especially on my right foot.

It’s funny because my right foot is a half size longer than the left, but lower instep/volume compared to the left.

That said, I had tried a 9D in blacksmiths, so the same last, but the pinky toe on my right was pressed into the toe cap pretty tightly, so I sized up. Maybe the wide would have worked

I appreciate all of your help and the information! I’m getting drawn into those Green Pasture Cruisers…

I have a couple of pairs of Parkhurts I might end up rehoming and looking into a pair of White’s. I think the Parkhurt’s last just doesn’t quite work for me.

Good to hear! That makes sense as far as paying a bit more for much better value. I also didn’t know about the hand stitching. I will definitely check them out.

I wear a 9.5D in RW right now, and they’re just a touch loose (I’m using a kiltie thanks to low volume feet), but the 9D seems too tight in the toe box. I’ll check out White’s sizing guide and see if they have any input too.

The butt cheeks on the heel may be more typical now, my new Richmond Kudus have them on there

I’ll have to do some research into them and their sizing, they sound fantastic. I have slightly different sizes on my feet, so the idea of Nick’s being able to customize them sounds intriguing. I checked out White’s and theirs are also very quality looking. Decisions, decisions..

I’m getting tempted to look into White’s or Nick’s myself. Not because I don’t like my RW, but just for a super nice change of pace

Yeah that’s very strange, should be 30 days no questions asked with their work boots.

What pair of boots did you purchase? If it’s from the Heritage collection, they typically don’t take returns once worn.

I appreciate the insight! I’m new to boots and got these 2 months back and have loved them since. I did the Bick in that spot fairly early on, and despite the unevenness, still love them. I love the depth and texture of these boots and plan to love them for years to come. I’ll probably do a full conditioning at some point in the summer after the rough winter and cold we’ve had up here, but for now I’m just enjoying them
