I had been wanting to try the 2040 for quite awhile. Especially after seeing a pair in brown waxed flesh on a Blog (Auntay). Eventually I plan to wax these, probably after the Dome finishes.
I mostly went by community advice recommending same as my 2030 size. (Half down from Brannock.) But I tried on a pair of 2040’s in a size 9 as well in a store because my 2030’s have always felt a bit too big. The 9s definitely felt too small, so I ordered these in 9.5. The fit has been amazing so far. They’re snug, but feel really great. My heel locks in place and the thin waist feels good on my high arches. They feel so good, I’m planning on selling my 2030’s soon.
Ordered online from Brooklyn Clothing. It was a smooth transaction. Nothing to report out of the ordinary. Would order from them again.
Not a whole lot more to say about these. I think I should’ve passed on the previous two review prompts and waited for this one. Maybe next year! In summary, I wore these mostly to work and around town. But I also took them on several mountain hikes and a trip to snowy Japan back in January. They have performed perfectly in all environments. Some sore heels during initial break-in. And after the long snowy hike in Japan with heavy snow. But otherwise they have been comfortable from day 1.
I have enjoyed this leather a lot. Not much in the way of care. Only brushing from time to time. The color changes drastically based on lighting but overall I’d say they have darkened up a bit and the wax has worn off to reveal the fuzzy roughout. Much more so on the right boot than the left. I’m looking forward to waxing them with some Venetian Leather Balm soon.
Again, not much more to say about fit since the last two reviews. In summary, I loved the fit. They pretty much confirmed to me that the Munson last or Munson-like lasts are what I’ll be aiming for with future boots purchases.
No issues with craftsmanship, QC or anything. Totally satisfied.

I had a lot of fun in the Dome. Hopefully next year I’ll have better photography locked in for better and more consistent lighting and backdrops. I had hoped to have a better setup this year but it didn’t materialize, unfortunately. As a result, I think I didn’t do these boots justice with last minute contest photos. Here’s to another Dome completed 🍻! Best of luck to all the other contestants!
