Just repeatedly sliding these on and off listening to that soft “thwup” you get on a near perfect and improving fit! 😍

This is my second pair of Lofgren M-43’s. Previously, I had them in 8.5. The fit was good instantly, but very quickly became a bit loose and I could never tighten them down properly and felt as though my foot was rocking about. With the size 8, they feel great, and firmly snug, no tight spots for now and knowing that the natural cxl is so supple, these will be perfect.

More about this item

Second pair of Lofgren M-43’s, sold my original pair as I couldn’t nail the fit. Have always loved the M-43 style through an interest in WW2 era history. Happy to have grabbed these and the batch of cxl on these is even better than the first.
