US Men's Brannock: 8D
120 Last: 7.5E
N/A
Fit pretty snugly 0.5 down with boot socks as a 7.5HTT/8.0HTB D Brannock size. It honestly feels more like a D width to me and you might need to go TTS if you have longer toes.

I wanted a logger style boot and though that Donkey Puncher was a rather amusing name for a boot. I'd also heard good things online about the quality of John Lofgren as a brand, when I had originally decided to purchase this pair.
I took advice from both the Blue Owl Workshop sizing guide, John Lofgren website, and the Stitchdown Discord group, before deciding to go 0.5 down from my bigger (HTT/HTB) Brannock size.
I ordered this pair online from Blue Owl Workshop during their 2024 Black Friday sale.
