Man, I'm drooling.
They look soooo nice I would convince myself that they fit perfectly! Try some insoles or silicone heel insole. And now you need a nice leather jacket to match them!Here's a couple of piccys... Fresh out the box! View attachment 57793 View attachment 57797
So I went and picked up my engineers from the depot (I paid the fine and got a complaint form - hopefully I will get some £ back but not much by the looks of things). The attractions are beautiful but I'm unsure about the sizing!
They feel quite snug on the toes / foot but very roomy in the heel.
I know there's meant to be some heel lift but i'm wondering if it's too much? i can quite easily move my feet around in them.
Perhaps some thicker socks and thicker insole would do the trick.
Thanks guys, you're making me feel like / wanna feel like they fit!
Hopefully with some insoles / heel pads they'll work.
The foot is fine really, I'm just not sure how much heel lift ones meant to have and if these have too much!
Thanks @Carlos840 that's really helpful info. I don't think I'm experiencing more than 3cm of heel lift but it's quite hard to tell / measure what with my foot being inside the boots. I have a think insole and am wearing 2 pairs of socks, but that's giving me the problem of creating too much tightness around the foot area and I can feel the top of boot pressing down on my foot. So I think I should maybe try a 3 quarter insole...
I actually find the Attractions fit me very well. I have relatively thick feet and usually needs to wear EE width (I had to go up a size because I find the Attractions are with D width toe and E width arch area). I only find them a bit awkward to walk in when new owing to the rigid, slant shaft. Takes a couple of days to bend the shaft to break them in and they fit fine.That's interesting @Blackadder , on other forums I've seen that people find them relatively comfortable with little heel slip but I guess everyone's experience is different.
I'm on my second day of wearing them and they do feel a bit more comfortable but I don't feel that they're broken in yet. Still feeling like the top of the boot is pressing down against my toe but only on the right side. I've been driving in them (car not bike)! I'm looking forward to them becoming more comfortable as I break them in.
