SHORT BOOTS EDITION

What do I need to care for my boots?
>Old cotton t shirt (one for cleaning, another for applying conditioners)
>Horsehair brush ($10-15)
>Wooden shoe trees ($10-15)
>Light conditioner like Lexol/Bck4
>Heavy conditioner (if you live in terrible snow/rain areas) Sno seal/Obernauf LP

How do I deal with x stain?
>mud: allow it to dry then brush off
>salt: water and cloth as soon as possible
>saturated wet: allow the boot to dry for a full day, stuff with newspaper
>scuffs and scratches: buff vigorously with horsehair brush

A shoe isn't supposed to dig into your Achilles before break-in right?
Just got my Allen Edmonds in 8.5D (Normally wear 9 to 9.5) which I got a the sales guy's suggestion and they're super tight on my right shoe to the point where I wouldn't walk 10 minutes in these. Strangely, my left foot fits perfectly. Should I go back and get a half size up?

[Anonymous No.17068637]

>>17068609
Sorry to tell you Anon, but Allen Edmonds boots are memes. I've had two pairs of their dress shoes and one pair of their boots and they all wore my feet in weird places and fit like shit. The cork dissolves to nothing inside of them anyway. The boots are too long and pointy for someone on their feet and the shoes were too tight as well around the toes but the company is more and more obsessed with the pointy Italian toe look than a shoe that actually fits.

The leather at the achiles is sometimes reinforced. It will literally break down before it breaks in. Return them and go with a different company. You'll remember this warning if you ignore it and keep fucking with Allen Edmemes.

People on the internet might tell you that leather shoes break in etc and that's true, but look at what actual shoemakes say:
- a leather shoe will never stretch in terms of length
- a leather shoe should be comfortable when standing from the minute you put it on

Yes break in helps but these two are a must.

[Anonymous No.17068741]

>>17068736
The only thing breaking in is your feet, getting rough in parts to withstand the long-term rubbing. Most of the boot changes post-manufacturing should be happening within the first several hours of wearing it, not over hundreds of hours, that's just breakdown rather than break-in.

[Anonymous No.17068744]

Most human feet are slightly different between the left and right foot. A half a size difference between a left and right foot is pretty normal, among other contour differences.

Most people agree that the 'break in' period is about 24 hours total.
I don't know if it's just your feet, I definitely notice a difference in stiffness with new shoes.

Those who own both MPs and IRs (or Blacksmiths),
what are the size conversions between the two? Redwings No.8 last have more toe room and MPs seem to be more low volume, so what's the translation of size between the two lasts? I've got W I D E flat feet (the right foot just slightly bigger than left), and with my RW Blacksmiths I'm an 11 with the left boot being slightly sloppy fitting, and I'm guessing it's because of the no.8 being narrow yet high volume.

I need some input before I drop $500+ on some MPs. I feel like I should go with 10.5 on the MP last, maybe even 10.

That's not a very good example.
Pic related, probably the most famous "high end" boot.

Grain makes it look more casual so you can wear it with more types of clothes. It's almost impossible to wear smooth shiny leather with jeans for example.
Grain also takes scuffs and scratches better, they don't show that much.

But grain is also difficult for the maker to click correctly, they cannot see the imperfections. So it may end up creasing really badly on the vamp. Good shoemakers can do a proper job here.

Remember shoes will NEVER stretch lengthwise
Break in = the leather might soften a bit, the sole might take your foot's shape, and that's about it.

I just need the part in front of my toe and before the toe puff to stretch a little more
one side is fine but I'm just wondering if going all out and literally forcing my foot into the front for 1 day will work

[Anonymous No.17075749]

>>17075747
>part in front of my toe
c*lastic toe strikes again (it's fucked and won't stretch)

[Anonymous No.17075761]

>>17075747
I'm not sure if I understood correctly but the toe cap and the heel stiffener ensure that there can be no stretching at the front and back of the shoe.

Maybe for very high end shoes with leather heel stiffeners it could work, but I don't know which manufacturers use leather instead of plastic.
For example Carmina ($500 shoes) uses plastic, and they're one of the best shoemakers around. Apart from TLB I doubt there's any other shoes under the $1k mark that use leather back there.

guaranteed it's c*lastic which is a thermoplastic

[Anonymous No.17075771]

Also I should mention that new leather shoes can be uncomfortable, if they are ok lengthwise then maybe wear them in your house for a few hours before you go out and wear them for 10 hours straight in the office.
If they're too short lengthwise you're screwed and must replace them.
