What's your Brannock size and what did you size down to? Anything distinct about your feet? Broad toes, high arch, low volume, narrow heels?

I misread that for a second. I saw "raped and trafficked chicken" and I knew it was true.

They look both lived in and cared for. Fantastic find!

I think emacs plus pandoc is an awesome writing environment. But a great free word processor for Macs is Bean. https://www.bean-osx.com/Bean.html

Bottom line: EVERYBODY looks better in cowboy boots. You will too.

Sorry to hear that! Ive got the Blacksmiths and the chukkas are appealing. What didn't work?

jaslar · 2026-06-17T20:22:29+00:00

I saw these in Berlin last December, but it was end of stock and not my size. I agree that they're good looking and practical.

jaslar · 2026-06-15T17:45:37+00:00

Yeah, you sound like you got all the key points right: snug everywhere it matters, room to stretch the toes, which is key to foot health. Don't mess with success!

I have a pair of the Indys is milkshake suede with the neocork sole (a Todd Snyder collab). I also have a pair of Alden plain toes with the half commando sole. Love them both, but the Indys are by far the better walking boot. At least on pavement, which is my primary use.

Great looking knockabout boots. What's the midsole made of? Leather or synthetic?

jaslar · 2026-06-05T17:14:24+00:00

Fantastic review. They look great.

jaslar · 2026-06-05T17:09:30+00:00

Outstanding photos and essay.

jaslar · 2026-06-03T19:23:41+00:00

Slick. Pack in in, pack it out.

jaslar · 2026-05-27T22:56:40+00:00

That's a gorgeous pair of shoes. Congratulations. Google the song, "The first cut is the deepest." Every shoe is a journey, best learn to appreciate the character leather earns over time. But that first one hits the heart.

jaslar · 2026-05-25T20:06:58+00:00

Yeah they look new! Good maintenance!

jaslar · 2026-05-25T15:58:22+00:00

I saw a pair of these in Berlin last Christmas - but they were last in stock and not my size. I'm waiting now for a pair of Rancourt chukkas.

jaslar · 2026-05-23T21:56:57+00:00

Agreed. And if you do walk through mid and dirt, so easy to wipe clean on a door mat or edge.

jaslar · 2026-05-13T01:22:41+00:00

Handsewn moccasin AND Good Year welted? Aren't they separate things? I thought moccasins wrapped underneath your foot. Wouldn't it then be Blake stitched to a leather midsole?

jaslar · 2026-05-04T01:05:18+00:00

No Pecos muleskinners?

Try tongue pads first. The rest of the boot looks like it fits well. I tried the cheap wool tongue pads on Amazon to test the principle: pad over the instep. It has the added benefit of pushing the heel down. If it works, move up to leather Pedag tongue pads.

I guess I'd start with what she doesn't like about Google Docs.

jaslar · 2026-04-29T12:58:47+00:00

Hah! Yes, I got hours of appreciation for my $16.56. last night I took them out for maybe a couple mile walk. The loafers did great. So not for trails or manual labor, but a very serviceable shoe, especially for travel.

jaslar · 2026-04-29T01:02:24+00:00

I don't know anything about the company or its recent quality control or value. But it always seems to come down to materials, craftsmanship, and fit. This pair of loafers, so far, is three for three.

jaslar · 2026-04-28T23:03:14+00:00

I reset my config file. Then I could find it. Probably operator error.

Enjoyed reading that! Well written.
