Been wearing these beauties (Brick Red) 2 weeks now and they are becoming the most comfortable boots to date. Sizing of 42D is spot on for my Brannock 9.5E feet with some hard break in needed as leather is thick. Could get them in 42E or 42.5D for immediate comfort (especially instep) but laces would touch on top of quarters as with thin socks they get very close now. Length wise my toes are exactly were the stitches start on the inside perimeter, no touching top or front and can stretch toes sideways without touching left or right. I am planning for a 2nd pair of indiana boots in black and a pair of service cap toes for daughter. VFM

First week of wear, they are getting really comfortable.

So these beauties just arrived today and first impression was WOW! Second impression was that they look like very quality products and they feel like it. I can honestly say that I feel like I stole them! I ordered them without speed hooks cause I am not a fan and imo they look cleaner. I asked on the chat for them, paid 10% on the Paypal link they gave me and ordered them with a pair of insoles and a 50$ Reddit coupon that I got when I joined. I got the boots in exactly 20 days to Greece. Everything was flawless in the process.

The fit was my biggest concern as I am not a fan of buying shoes that I cant wear, and all the thanks to everyone that helped me out during my questions in this forum.

The fit is perfect, they are snug and I expect them to conform to my foot over the break in period. As I first wore them I thought that I could do with the 42E for an easier breakin but I saw users say that it stretches some so will return on the width after a while. My toes wiggle easy and they land between the 2 stitches on the front. I have about 1.5cm of space and I almost always wear medium thickness Infiknit Stance socks.

My next project is to strip the color of a brown belt I have and use some Saphir renovatrice mahogany to match the shoes!

Daughter loved them and has chosen a pair of black commander cap toe size 39 for a future gift... so I am already planning my second pair to go with it.

Here are my most detailed feet measurements:

Brannock 9.5E, 43EU in sneakers (44New Balance 574s) 42 GYW Boots, 42 Clarks Desert Boots, 42 Chuck Taylor All Stars Hi.

26.7cm foot length - 10.51''

10.5cm width at ball joint - 4.13''

25cm ball circumference - 9.84''

25.5cm  instep circumference - 10.03''

26cm ankle circumference above joint - 10.23''

To the Luosjiet team, thank you again for a great product and experience.

edit1. 2 days in and after some conditioning with Saphir Renovatour they are getting softer and conform to my feet better. Getting comfy with thick socks, slight heel slip with thin socks, footbed starts to take shape of feet. The leather has taken a very slight darkening and brought out a deeper red in them that looks gorgeous with the shine. I changed the laces with some round dark brown 180mm 3mm movi's and they look great (stock were 160mm flat). Will post pics soon.
