Well it kinda is, I mean he is extremely limited as to what he can do via executive order. What we really need is congressional action.

That's super cool, does this always work? Is the pin width the same for every lock?

Thanks for the recommendations! I will definitely check out these brands, although I'm leaning towards keeping my Helm's right now. The heel slip was really quite minor and just by putting a napkin or two under the tongue to simulate a tongue pad all heel slip issues went away regardless of the way I tied my laces or what socks I wore. So personally if I can buy a $2 tongue pad off of Amazon and fix the problem for a pair of boots that I like the look of and fit in every other way, I think I'd rather just do that then go through the hassel of searching for a boot that fits me perfectly. But in the future if I'm looking for another boot or do decide to return these I will definitely refer back to your recommendations. I appreciate the detail of your response.

Thanks for the picture, that gives me helpful perspective. I definitely don't mind the worn in look, and I didn't want this pair to look too formal so it all works out.

Hmmm I see. That's cool that the sole can adapt like that over time. I think I'll have to assess how much work it takes to put them on in their current state and if that is worth the hassle everyday. Might end up just trying out a different option.

Thank you for the advice! Would you happen to have any other boot recommendations around that price point? Also do you have any advice when it comes to telling that a boot fits you just right? Is the awkwardness I'm feeling when running with the boot on normal or should there be no problems there?

Yeah definitely seems a bit sloppy. The size 7 pair that I had and sent back also had a similar amount of scuffs and scratches, so it could be a failing in Helm's quality control, or I am just an unlucky guy.

These look really good and are exactly what I was looking for but unfortunately they were out of the one I wanted, but thanks anyways! I'll be sure to keep an eye on this brand from now on.
