Footwear to go with our jackets

Looked better before the alterations IMO, but what was up with the speed hook and eyelet color not matching?

Hmm, I don't know why they decided to use two different colors really(never noticed before you told me haha).

I couldn't stand the original color(bought at sale not really thinking, the classic you know) as I thought it was super dull in real life vs pictures on the net, making it hard to match.

@TartuWolf @bigmanbigtruck I'm glad for the honesty! as it should be

Cheers!

That said, I just ordered a pair of "Duckfeet" shoes, as per the discussion on TFL last week. Not really "barefoot" shoes, but with a broad toebox and very little heel elevation. Just curious at this point in time, but visually I guess they will work well enough with a simple pair of Jeans and a T-Shirt.

Update here: Shoes arrived yesterday; took me longer to conquer the bugs of the website than it took the box to swim over from Denmark.

Shoes are beautiful; leather is great. Pix sometime later. Bought a pair for my wife too, as a surprise and can´t break mine out without spoiling the gift.

The fit guide on the website is a fraud, though. They make you measure your feet in "mm" (which technically should be ideal, as due to the broad toe-box, lenght is really all that matters) and suggest a size.
I was unconvinvced from the get-go, despite assurances from the custom service teams (very responsive) and sized up one. Turns out, they fit, but two sizes up from the suggestion would have worked too.
IRecommendation: just pick your "normal" size and ignore the measuremnt-chart.

Got Truman's Gallun Horse Rump boots today. Really dig the shrunken hide revealing all the striations. Very chunky leather used here as well. Was kind of worried about how stiff it is and the break-in more likely to break my foot - but all things considered are surprisingly comfortable.

Thanks @Khilij & @Tom71 for sharing your experience with Truman
