I normally wear 8.5E or 8.5EE. Andrew suggested I size up to 9 in his 618/602 lasts to give me extra width. This was spot on. These fit me perfectly. The toe box is slightly taller over the big toe versus the pinky giving the perfect amount of volume. The waist and heel are quite snug, very supportive. Absolutely perfect for my wider feet and narrow heels.
I bought these specifically for the 2024 patina thunderdome, but I really don't want to mess these up. These are absolutely beautiful. I will wear them, but not for heavy work.
Why I own this
Limited Release
Workplace Needs
Other
I like to keep at least one pair of "office boots" that I can wear around the board room, the server room, and still do a little work in. Climbing ladders, using a lift, etc.
I also wear these to casual events where work boots would be a bit overkill.
I wouldn't take these out to dig a trench or do concrete work, but only because I don't want to mess them up. There too nice.
