Horween Black Teacore Chromexcel
These Caspers are too big for me, but I’ve learned through painful trial and error that width is more important than length. My boot journey drastically changed in 2017 when I had foot surgery and was forced to wear orthotics in all my footwear. I reset nearly my entire collection to size up for my orthotics. I also learned I had been wearing sizes too small for years which caused my foot issues. Fast forward to the TD 2.0 and when I ordered these Caspers, I was concerned I had sized up too much, since my preferred half size was unavailable. While the extra length in the toes took some getting used to, I’m pleased to report these were a joy to wear since the ball of my foot fit extremely well. Ron Rider was right - heel to ball is king!
