It's not just this subreddit, I've also seen this in literally all of them (especially Thursday). For some, this is their first pair of boots. or first time ordering. BTW, the meme I posted is complete satire and is meant to be a joke, however it seems like it's the most frequently asked question.

While I do appreciate Louie boots for giving advice on getting your correct size. My only complaint, is that I would prefer they they just have a printable sheet that one can print at home, or have an additional column in the sizing shee that's in CMs.

Its what I've been doing to ensure I get a fit in my boots. Louies doesn't do that and I wish it did so that people would be able to know what size they should get.

I've been watching some Cobbler rebuilds, and when it comes to half soles. it's usually been just GYW boots. I've been thinking about grabbing a pair of half soles to place on my Jim Green 719s. However, when I've seen videos the half soles. I see that they punch through the sole, the leather midsole and onto the welt.

I'm assuming that it wouldn't be the same for something like stitch down, as it would be punching holes into the leather that holds the boot in place right? So would the next plausible thing be to just tack the heels and soles to keep the sole stuck onto the leather midsole? with rubber cement or whichever adhesive to be used to stick everything together of course.

This has been on my mind all day, or should I just grab a whole unit sole? Thank you for your response.

I know it's not the users' fault

how do half soles work on a stitch down boot?
