Jimmer, you get just the toes or the shafts stretched as well? I can't handle the panic feeling associated with pull up boots that are nearly impossible to take on and off. I fear that my fight or flight instincts will kick in and I'll end up cutting the boots off!
Btw where'd you find them?
Yeah, that's really tempting. It's a lot of money, but I think the quality of the Road Champs is well established fact.
Bobbajobbob, interesting find with the ELMC Engineers. I had to look them up - they are made by John Lofgren, and they look very nice. Too bad they didn't fit. You should seriously look into a pair of White's Nomads or Wesco Boss. I think you will be very impressed with the quality, and at $400-$450 or so in US dollars, they'll be a lot cheaper than the ELMC boots.

God ain't that an understatement! My last three pair of MTO boots needed to be returned for one reason or another. Thankfully, both WESCO and White's are only 3 and 5 hrs away from me, respectively, so shipping charges and hassles weren't really an issue. Would have been an entirely different story had they been made overseas (shipping charges, intl freight issues, duty/VAT, etc)
