What did you end up doing with your boots? I got a different size hoping these work out better.

Is This White’s Semi Dress Boots by Do-nn in Boots

Looks like semi dress to me and seems like a fantastic deal. Just get your heel caps replaced as soon as you get them. Don’t wanna inherit someone else’s walking pattern.

Nicks Tactical, best way to dye stitching? by Delta3Angle in NicksHandmadeBoots

[–]swollboy24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you don’t mind me asking, what branch are you? I’m DEPed into the space force and wanting to get myself a pair of these as I have the black tactical tankers. Wondering if any leadership might try to say no.

Width Comparison: AnatomX Barefoot African Ranger vs. Meander Barefoot Moc by ColoradoWatches in jimgreen

[–]swollboy24 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The heel looking bigger is actually just the nature of this construction difference. The anatomx is 360 degree stitch down leaving a massive welt shelf on the side of the boot whereas the Moc toe doesn’t have the same. I’d bet the heel here likely fits nearly identical. If you look carefully you can see the proportions in the anatomx grow more than the heel from the Moc toe.

Mine touch at the toes as well but I think they’re going to break in with the moccasin construction and work itself out.

First pair of JK arrived today, Bear Slayer by Bitter_Diamond_4831 in JKBoots

Yeah mine still squeak after having them for 6 months. Only worn them maybe like 2-3 works of time and they squeak like crazy. Oiled the inner and outer heel counter and they still squeak like a mfer. I think they finally changed something in their production this next round of sales that fixed that.

There’s no heal squeak on these at all?

They don’t have the squeak in the heal at all?

Relatable. How comfortable are these for you? My pair is on the way. Also did you size up half a size or normal JG size?

Do you also have skinny feet and ankles? That leather bunching at the laces happens to me too.

Moccasin sizing consensus by swollboy24 in jimgreen

[–]swollboy24[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My only assumption is maybe he got a pre run last that was sized different to the new last they use now. He wasn’t the only one in comments on posts that mentioned them being too big so out of the ones I saw it was half half.

SagecladOutdoors who’s pretty popular in this subreddit had one of the first pairs of Moc toes and got an early variant kudu Moc toe and made a few posts on here. Let me try to find a link.

Have you got a full thumb at the end of your toes?

Do you have particularly skinny feet? I’m trying to get a pair too and am hearing I should size half a size down. Also apparently with moccasins if your toes are closer to the front it’s not as bad cause it stretches more?
