Q&A

Why did you choose this item?

Style

I really liked the look of the logger boot with the natural crust leather and white outsole. I’ve never had a lace toe-like boot, so I wanted to try out the fit. The description promised this would be a comfortable pair to wear all day and it didn’t lie. That promise was a big factor in my choice since my goal was to maximize foot-in-boot time during the contest.

How did you determine your size?

Online Guide
Brannock Measurements

I used the guidelines on the S&S website and my Brannock size. The fit was spot on. Sizing is always a concern ordering online from a brand I’ve never owned before. I’m so glad I went with 13E despite being a little worried they’d be too big.

What was the ordering process?

Online Store

I pre-ordered online in April 2022. I purchased the Seel insurance option to allow return in case they didn’t fit right, but obviously didn’t use it. The order was delayed by several months due to supply issues with the leather. I actually meant to enter these in the 2022-2023 thunderdome, but got them too late. S&S kindly offered a different boot at a discount so I could still enter, but I decided to hold out for these. So I had to to keep them boxed for another several months until this contest started. It all worked out great and I have no regrets.
