Tricker's day, laundry day

Breaking in my new work boots that just arrived today.
They may not get worn with any jackets worthy of showing here, but a jacket gets worn none the less.

Thorogood 814-6201.

I tried on a pair of Attractions and they were really nice. Unfortunately, the instep was much too deep for me so I had to return them. Leather was beautiful though, nice Maryam horsebutt from Italy.

Brass buckles is special order only. Too bad they don't fit.

Interesting. I think my special order Lot 268 just has plain brass buckles. Different leather they were using back then though. Perhaps I should get a pair of these gold plated 444.

According to the East West site they were a store exclusive and are currently out of stock. Unclear if they will be restocked.

They are pretty nice. I had a pair previously but sold them for some reason.

Can you elaborate on too deep?
Like too much space incthe instep?

Yeah, I have a low instep. Even with the strap cranked down I could tell it would be too big, even if I punched more holes in it. Engineers always are trouble for me, with a wide forefoot and a narrow ankle the lasts almost never work for me.

Same problem here. For some reason I find western roper boots do work for me.

Never tried them because I assumed the lack of instep strap would make heel slip even worse. Perhaps roper lasts have a more secure fit.

Are these actually pliable?

They were very stiff new and I don't know how they are once broken in. I had some other boots in horsebutt which took some time to conform but retained a certain rigidity.

I really like the dressier look of these so I ordered a pair for myself today. Mine have nickel colored hardware though, the gold plated ones were sold out in my size.

I was looking at these with gold buckles. What size are you?
