These are super supportive and comfy. Got all 4 all because I couldn’t get the RDT Caspers. Those will be my grail boots. I don’t like the fact they have such limited stock and it take long time to make. These are just as good if not better. Both made in Asia. I would’ve preferred the welt to be a brown color but I may do that when they go in for a resole. They shine up nicely and goes well with selvedge denim jeans.

Snug out the box but breaks in with a little bit of walking around. Could possibly go with a 10D if you like a looser fit.
