Is there anyone here who owns both 875 and 8165???

My pair of 8165 managed to break in quite fast with absolute comfort now.
But my 875 wear a few times le still hardly any signs of breaking or creases.

is this normal???

interesting part about leather products and shoes......
they differ from batch to batch, pair to pair.

anyways, in terms of comfort, crepe soles offer the best comfort, compared to the beckman soles. in terms of moc toe, round toe, it really depends, some might prefer the comfort of one to the other.

even breaking in, it differs from pair to pair. its normal when the shoe takes time to get seasoned. it depends on how the wearer trash the shoe. for eg. if a person literally is a road warrior (walking and public transports) and a tolerance for blisters and pain around the ankle and the bunion areas, the shoe definitely will crease and be seasoned after perhaps a month? as compared to a office warrior driving to and fro to work most of the time.

generally, patience is of the virtue. some pairs take longer to season, some shorter. they will season one day.....its a fact

only thing is... no boot has the same amount of comfort, guess it due to the cut, the construct and the age (your 1st pair will always be the most comfortable most of the time, cos its the oldest).

just like i have a pair of Georgia boots thats quite arched in the soles, something like women's heels. so no matter what, its still not as comfy as the relatively flat RW 8138.

its a pity that theres no best of both worlds... crepe comfort, beckman sole beauty. sigh..

For European and US online store, they seldom offer width E, all come with D or some double E.

Width Double E is not the same as E right

 

[reverseBungee]

was told by some here, E is not EE/2E

2E is wider than E.

just checked amazon, no E too.

 

[kazuki666]

By any chance there is a width size btn D and E ???

i do.. but if you wear it normally and it feels fitting, adding insole maybe too tight upon wearing.

my boots is 0.5 bigger than what i should wear and i have a thin insole added for more comfort and it fits well...

 

[makuyoko]

issit a need to mink a pair of black rws?

this is the part and parcel of this footwear. It bites u before they give u comfort...

I took ard 6mths to break into my 8165. Had several blisters ard heels, tough on the sole. But after that the leather and sole soften and mould into my feet, now its nothing but comfort
Trying to break my 875 le, but i know its going to be longer journey coz i cant wear it daily like i did to my 8165...

Where can I resole my 875 crepe sole & change the top leather lining?

 

[monkeyfunkey]

Hi there,

I'm a US size 8 and I tried US size 7.5 for the style no. 8131, the Classic Lifestyle, but it turned out to be quite loose. How come uh? And also cus my legs are quite skinny, so is it weird for me? cus i tightened it all the way also. Any advice?
