Unboxing new to me Numzaan in that cool green.

Bought some Numzaan boots off eBay. Don’t look like they have even been worn. They look great!

The leather feels kinda dry to the touch. Any reason not to use some Obenaufs to get them a little darker and saturate the leather?

Question from a very broad guy

Hello all

I have started to look into upgrading my wardrobe after binge watching folks like The Iron Snail, Carl Murawski, Bootlosophy. I wanna buy some cool new clothes but sizing is problematic. Questions below.

  1. If it normal for selvedge denim pants sizing to end at a 40 waist? I’m a size 44 in normal jeans so probably a 45/46 in selvedge.

  2. Any recommendations for denim jackets larger than 2xl. I am normally a 4xl just for my shoulders.

  3. Do folks sew the bottom inch of their pants inside out when they hem them to show off the stitch?

Different lasts in Numzaan’s

Sup Y’all,

I currently own the black on black Numzaans and love them. Are the walnut veg tan version really a different last? The black on black says STC and walnut says ASHM.

Sizing and possible customizations questions.

Hello y’all,

I am looking at possibly buying a city railway boot. I am a 10.7 inch long EE width and have a high instep . What would y’all recommend for those measurements?

Additional question is there any way to get a railway with a lug sole, heel, and toe cap. I’m sure it would change the price. Any way to custom order or MTO the boots?

Inner Sole questions

Sup y’all,

So I just got a new pair of rough out vellies as well as a new to me pair of numzaans. They are beautiful shoes and I just applied obenaufs and they look great!

Does anyone else have to replace the rubber inner sole. I have leather ones on the way from rose anvil and nicks to replace the rubber. My foot completely rebelled and cramped up on the rubber inner soles within the first quarter mile.

So here’s to hoping the leather inner soles fix this issue like it helped my belleville jungle boots.

Are there any other inner soles folks here recommend?

Boot brand recommendations

Hey y’all.

Looking for boot brand recommendations for a US standard 10.5 wide foot with collapsed arches.

Use case: truthfully I am An IT nerd working in a factory. I walk 2-3 miles a day for work across concrete and gravel. I am also hiking about 20-30 miles a week on concrete and trail after work to try to burn some post military obesity off. I work in a high altitude dessert that gets very hot during the day. 95-105 F

Does anyone have good places to possibly buy used boots?

I’m back into boots after being away for 7 years or so. Last time I wore boots was combat boots back in the military and even then toward the end I switched to Morrel MOAB 2s for some deployments and continued to wear them till they were destroyed. The MOAB 3s seems to use some worse materials which has led to premature wear.

I have bought a pair of Belleville jungle boots for cheap that they have apparently recently discontinued and hope to have them on my feet by next week.

I am fine buying multiple pairs for different use cases or doing a little travel to try to get fits right.

I am looking at maybe buying a pair of Jim green razor backs or the African rangers with the rough out.

Also looked into traveling to phoenix to get fitted for JK boots as they are the closest of any PNW boot maker to where I live. Are they worth it?

Also has anyone tried out the Limmer standard boots? Are they worth it.

Ty for your time.
