Service vs Commander: differences?

I was wondering if anyone could clarify the differences between the service and commander boots. I see from pictures the service boot has 8 eyelets and the commander 7. Is there a height difference between the two in the shaft because of this? Also, it looks like there's no leather midsole in the commander boot? Anyone know of any other differences? Thanks.

Munson Last Unstructured Toebox?

Hi, does anyone have experience with an unstructured toebox with the Munson last? Just wondering how it would look flattened out and if it would look weird without the structure given the slightly raised bump at the end of the toe. Thanks in advance for your input or advice.

Logging boot review (one month)

I received these boots about a month ago and have been wearing them regularly ever since. They are breaking in nicely and starting to form to my feet. I normally wear a 12E in most boots, and LJ told me to size up to 12.5E. I could probably have done with the 12E, and I wear a thin insert in these. The Munson last is very accommodating.

I have been into boots for close to ten years now, starting with the Iron Ranger and working my way up to higher end brands, some costing north of $1000. LJ punches well above their weight in my opinion, in terms of construction. I am hoping to get another pair with the yak leather eventually.

I dyed these boots from brown to black as I did not realize when buying that you could customize the makeup. I've dyed boots before without issue so I never really thought twice about it.

I've included some pics from when I first received them, as well as a couple from today.

Sizing advice for wide forefoot/narrow heel for Munson

Hi, hoping you can help me out here. Came across this brand recently, somewhat familiar with XBXS Boots but have not purchased. I'm a bit out of the boot game, haven't bought anything since 2022, a pair of Viberg Service Boots in 2040 last. The price of Vibergs has gone through the roof, so I'm looking for a more economical option.

I wear size 13 US running shoes and Vans old schools, size 12 in most boots (John Lofgren, Trickers, Crockett and Jones, Viberg, Whites). These makers go by UK sizing to the best of my knowledge. I have a wide forefoot and a relatively narrow heel. My feet are approximately 29cm long. I was thinking of getting a pair of the Munson plain toe boots. What size and width would you recommend based on this information? I can answer any other questions you might have. Thank you!
