@Dmart
the are Daniel

here you can see the difference in thickness, the shinki is hardcore

First day of wearing my new pair engineers in shinki hikaku leather.
what a difference to the CLX or the badalassi leather.
these are really badass, and sure need a real break in

[Wlemon]

@Daniel San once they break in, they will fit like a glove. I’ve worn these a lot this winter and they look great. They seem to “age” slowly. I get so many compliments on them.

[Daniel San]

@Wlemon
looking great ! the shinki is such an amazing leather , love it.
what do you use for care ?

[Wlemon]

Nothing yet, @Daniel San    I use Bick 4 on my other boots. Probably will do the same.

[Daniel San]

you should try the Saphir care for cordovan/ horse leather.
It´s really good from my experience

[Wlemon]

Will get some.

Been wearing mine regularly for almost 7 months regularly. Supposed to be getting married in these bad boys in June. Figured I should see how’d they clean up. Not bad at all!

Hooked up my Mocs too…

Girlfriend surprised me with these recently. Got 1 day in on them. Still working through the pass through issues in the shaft. Once I got them on they feel perfect inside no tightness etc... I've just got to work through the on and off stages of these bad boys. I am doing the plastic bag trick and thinner socks, with a boot horn, cant wait for the day they just slip right on.

How is everyone else getting their boots on? Recommendations are welcomed !

@Tyler-Durden that’s a hell nice gift dude! Enjoy them and never let her go

[Tyler Durden]

@Heavy_blue I definitely won't, she's great! She amazed everyone over at Standard & Strange with all her boot knowledge man. She's a keeper !

How have people sized M43’s compared to brannock or Nike running shoes? I’m wondering about the toe room of the shinkis

[Dmart]

@Tyler-Durden They remain a pain even after years but it gets easier. I haven’t yet get to the slip-on stage.
