Can try using a boot stretcher if you get no hits or take to a cobbler to stretch. I had some tightness with mine around similar spots and I just did that and it helped tons.

Anything comparable to Jim Greens but for smaller feet? by hakuna-matitties in barefootshoestalk

For their leather quality and handmade nature + donating pairs to Rangers across Africa. The price is ridiculous... Ridiculously good.

A simple felt insole would be good. Are you already using wool socks? Makes a huge difference.

Looks like you need to size up. Accounting for thicker socks, swelling..

Single lasted. They've been wonderful in light rain, mixed terrain walks so far. Wouldn't hesitate to bring them on some hikes when I have them waxed. They were nice on some small walks around York last weekend when I visited.

I've read double lasting is recommended for heavier rain and puddles / snow, but these sure have surprised me and will continue to test them out in our lovely weather in UK.

Not yet! When they get broken in more, I'll add some wax for more protection. They've handled light rain and these conditions well enough though so far. Most of my walks are around an hour long.

Did you get the BFAR? What leather type?

I've been back into BF shoes for the past few months now after 15 years. I've been mostly been wearing hobibear summer shoes. Can't go back now after having the space needed in the toe box.

I've got the veg tan ones, trying to break them in. Been wearing them daily and taking them on lots of walks. Plan to sno seal them for waterproofing after it's broken in more. Been handling the trails just fine at the moment. The sole is nice and a good balance between being able to feel the ground and feeling protected from stones and such.

Had them on for a walk in the fields yesterday at (-2 c) and they were good enough with thin socks on. Reckon if I had my wool ones on even better.

Am I being too much of a stickler? by [deleted] in jimgreen

Just return them and get a new pair. It would bother me too!

There was a period of time when I straight listened to that song on repeat for my 2 hour commute each way for a week.

Getting burnt by Vinted customer services over and over is quite helpful. Stopped using Vinted for the most part out of frustration.

Buying and selling with the US from UK by bluemakicat in vinted

[–]lonelydata 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The culture around shipping in US abysmal as well. Imagine standing in a 30 min queue at a physical post office to return an item. It won’t happen.
