That’s amazing man. Some things were just the way they should be back then.
* VEB did a little write up on the boots a while back.

Initially I would use a steamer on the shaft just at the pass through right above the heal cup and at the instep just under the strap. I use long shoe horn, and plastic bags. The struggle was definitely a lot of work but has since got easier.
Now I’m noticing less shoe horn, no steam, and a lot...
Finally sliding into these Lofgren CXL a bit easier. Never thought I’d see the day, where I wasn’t breaking a sweat trying to get them on… but here I am! I have a long road ahead but can’t wait for the patina to kick in.
Ok. I got a little crazy and bought 3 pairs. Blk CXL and Badalassi Cognac and these of course. Yeah yeah, we all have been here at some point. So here goes. I don’t really need to sell but sort of, if I want another pair. I’ve been told by upper management that it’s a hard NO! So in other words...
