Footwear to go with our jackets

[jglf]

I’m always surprised to hear that most guys only go down 1/2 size in length and up a width in Whites. I size down 1 full size and go true width and they still have a lot of volume that I have to fill with an insole.

I went down a full size for the Nomads. I only went down 1/2 size for my MP-Shermans, but I could have also gone down a full size. Standard D width for me all around.

Major upgrades from what I've got now. Can't wait...

Wow these look really cool! Didn't know Trickers made custom boots such as these! How was the ordering process?

Shoe Healer custom order limited runs of boots/shoes that you can’t normally get.

These were MTO through Shoe Healer. They are very knowledgable in their Trickers so ordering was smooth. MTO price almost double the regular retail but less than half of Bespoke.
From what I see on Tricker's Japan (Aoyama) store instagram, they run promos to waive the MTO fees certain times per year. Then it would just be regular retail which is a steal for the quality imo.
I was looking for a pair of leather puttees but somehow ended up doing these.

Thanks, I will be paying attention to their MTOs!

These limited edition tankers from Nick's are half the price of the Eastman/Lofgrens. Ultimately, I decided to just save my nickels for the Lofgrens that I really want!

That is just a phenomenal russet colored leather there. Nice.

Anyone have suggestions on a service boot made out of black horween shell? The only one I can find that ticks (almost) all the boxes is Viberg.

^^ Perhaps this or something similar from Nick's?
