r/luosjietboots

I’ve always loved the look and feel of the Indiana Moctoe Boot, but finding a dark brown version that matched what I had in mind wasn’t as easy as I expected. I was specifically after something close to the look of the Alden 403. From Luosjiet’s lineup, the closest options were the dark brown teacore and the dark brown lychee. The brown pull up felt closer to the medium brown tone of the 405, so after a lot of internal debate, I ended up going with the dark brown lychee.

This is more of an initial impression since I’ve only had the pair for a few days. I do plan on making a more in-depth review after about a month of wear to really see how they hold up with regular use.

So far, the leather feels supple and soft. It’s noticeably different from the brown full grain pull up leather. It doesn’t have that stiffer feel, but it still feels durable and substantial on its own. Honestly, I barely felt any need for break-in the first time I wore them outside.

Looks-wise, the pebble grain is actually growing on me. At first, it was the main reason I hesitated to get this model, but after seeing more photos online and now owning a pair myself, I can say the texture is much more subtle in person. Some people compare it to scotch grain, which I can see, but aesthetically it reminds me more of Alden’s Regina calfskin. The texture isn’t overly pronounced or loud like traditional scotch grain — it’s more refined and understated.

With the feel of the leather combined with the texture, this pair really scratches the itch I had for a dark brown Indiana Moctoe. I do hope they eventually offer this color in their full grain pull up leather as well, but aside from that, I’m really enjoying the pair so far. Despite the textured leather, it actually feels a bit dressier because of the more uniform appearance. I also noticed that the collar doesn’t dig into my ankles the way the brown pull up version did, probably because of how much softer this leather is.

Overall, I’m enjoying them a lot so far, but I’ll still give them a month of proper wear before making a full review on how the leather really performs over time.

For now, here are some images showing how it looks under different lighting conditions.

Maybe a long shot, but do any of you own anything in the dark brown oiled reverse leather? I can't find any images here of how it looks in the flesh, or wears in.

I like the tone of the leather a lot, but the nap looks so short and pristine in the stock images that I can't get a sense of how it'll age.

Iron Ranger 8.5E, I chose 42M T.G.E Boots. When I first started wearing it, my feet felt a little tight, and after a week, it was completely broken in. The workmanship and materials have maintained the consistent high level of Luosjiet. So far, I am very satisfied and look forward to my next pair.

I want to thank the customer service because they got my size right on the first try, which was what I was most worried about and they turned out to be perfect for my feet. They were very stiff at first, but that didn’t put me off. Now I could even sleep in them :) 

My Luosjiet size for the Indys is 40D. The foot is hugged on the sides with enough room in the toe box and even though I apparently tighten the laces to death, they’re very comfortable even when worn all day. And I don’t need to re-tie them.

Here are some measurements: the max length of my foot from heel to toe is ~25.6 cm, and the max width is ~11 cm. Since I don’t have the possibility to take additional measurements of my foot “professionally” I’ll just stick with these. I don’t even know my Brannock size but usually I’m US 8 with Adidas and Nike and my average EU sneaker size is 41. Planning to pull the trigger on the Yellow Brown Reverse very soon.

Any questions are welcome!

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

I've worn these boots for nearly a month, and after a while, I found they weren't for me. The wide toe box is great, but the waist was just a bit too strict around the outer midfoot.

As a little review, they're great, solid boots with good materials, great quality control, and thick leather. Unfortunately, just not very wide in the midfoot. Any questions, please ask.

There is an eBay listing on request.

First week of wear, they are getting really comfortable.
