actually i feel that 7.5D fits me better. i tired on with a pair of socks. still have about half an inch space when i pushed my feet to the front of the boot. Considering if i should sell it off and get a 7.5D instead. do i keep it or sell it away?:s11::s11:


anyone interested? i just received it from DHL yesterday. waxed, not worn, but tired on to it only.

For me, I like it snug. So what I do is, I wear a thick socks during the initial period. After breaking in, I just wear a thin socks with some space.

Your socks is those thin one?

You'll look like Ronald Mcdonald if you're wearing skin tight jeans. Yours is lug sole which looks chunky by nature, if your jeans or any bottom you match with is on the tight side, it'll look like the boots are wearing you instead, if you get what i mean.

Try wearing a thick socks to break into the boots first/ see how it fits.

Try and post a photo and we'll see.

And.. How often do you slip/push your feet all the way into the shoes when you wear it? Lol. I don't though.

anyone knows if HK sells RW cheaper?

many shops in HK have discounts .... the prices varies from shops to shops .... the shops are found mostly in Mongkok and Tsim Sha Tsui area .... if you dont mind the hassle of bringing the shoes back to sg , can get in HK ... definitely is cheaper

875 worn 5 times. Size US 9.5, width E. Bought from overseas, so no box. Too big for me.
PM me if you are keen.

any idea is mink oil or obenauf LP better for treated leather such as the rough and tough? I heard Mink oil is most suitable for treated leather like the rough and tough.

LP is probably the most versatile and you can use it on alot of other stuff. For that particular leather, both products will darken it so it doesn't make much of a difference but LP will offer abit more water resistance.
