The NR provides a little more booty it seems which is why I went with it. Was not as pronounced on the FA pattern as opposed to what I see on the jumper boot.

Style

Such a distinctive makeup and the pattern really allows you to showcase the leather

How did you determine your size?

Sent in pictures and measurements of my feet to Peter. We went back and forth based on those measurements as well as what I wear in other makers and they modified a last to fit my feet

Very straight forward and conversational. Peter is very familiar with other brands and spends quite a bit of time going through your measurements. There is a lot of back and forth before the order was placed
