>>17665589
what brand is that? the finishing is atrocious
even on the worst boot it generally doesn't happen that the heel just falls off
when you put weight on the boot and this gap doesn't close it's probably a better sign than the opposite
the gap opening and closing every time you walk will might get progressively worse with time and separate more and more
if that happens just get someone to fix it then, rather than trying to fix a problem that might not even develop
i get that this isn't 100% esthetically pleasing and wouldn't be there on the boot of my dreams, but it's almost invisible and most likely just cosmetic, so don't try wedging something in there to fill it or gluing it yourself, you'll probably make everything worse

I used a brannock to get measurements for myself and is it going to fuck me to have feet that are half a size off? I did this 3 times just make sure and my heel to toe is a 9 on the left and 9.5 on the right. At the same time my heel to ball is 9.5 on the left and 10 on the right. Is this enough of a discrepancy that I should worry about getting a left boot half a size down, or does it really not matter?

I've been wearing original swat 9 inch zip ups since 2016, I don't know how the compare against top of the line boots, but it's a composite toe leather combat boot that feels super comfy, they are waterproof, insulated, bloodborne pathogen resistant, and airplane safe. Replace the insole with something that supports your arch and you are good to go, and wheni say comfy I mean feel like I'm wearing insulated socks, hugs my feet so it doesn't slip and cause blisters, but is super soft

That same guy is now shilling for leather soles. I wore dress shoes with leather soles 5 days/week at my first job out of university because leather soles were cheaper. I wouldn't recommend that to anybody for daily use footwear. If you come in from the rain you need to be careful because anything but carpet now puts you at risk of slipping, especially any floor material that causes your leather soles to make that loud slapping sound he likes so much. The traction problem is real unless you live somewhere it never rains and/or never walk on anything but asphalt and rough-surfaced sidewalks.

As a specialty shoe? Sure whatever. He talks about using leather soled shoes for dancing at weddings and if you want to own a pair just for that then go ahead. But it's not something for most occasions.

Because they are heavy, ankle support is true only if you weight 30lbs and they are not breathable so they will get wet from sweat and water coming down your legs.

It’s feels more narrow even at an E width. It’s probably more comparable to Alden’s Barrie last. I don’t get why the Leo gets so much hype because imo it’s not as good as either of those lasts.
