Anyone owning the combat boots from John Lofgren? Could you share your long term experience?

@the246guy I’d love to know about this as well. Really considering these as my next boot.

@stichdown-shell How long have you been wearing them? How is the experience with these? They have a slimmer waist, is that of any concern when it comes to comfort wearing them all day long? How is the sizing on these? I read sizing should be the same as your Red Wing, but that is not true in my case. I'm a US 10 on Iron Ranger and a 10 on these gave me a lot of heel slippage. A US 9.5 was way more comfortable, but given that the toe box is so hard when new, I cannot say if this is going to be comfortable, but at least I can say that it does not crush my toe. So, your experience on sizing would be of great help.
I'm considering the black CXL, just because of the versatility.

Yes, it is a match, IH and JLB's

@Twistlock those look killer. Curious as to the leather?

@the246guy I haven't worn them for very long but they were really comfy out of the box. CXL was soft and flexes well. No blisters. I am a Brannock 10E (9.5E on my left/10E on my right) and took these in a 9E and fit well. I have flat feet with low volume and a low instep. I find they feel really nice on the feet. Lots of room in the toe box. Perfect with a thicker wool sock.
I don't own any Red Wings, but I am a 9E in Viberg's 2030 last, and a 9E in Alden's Trubalance and Barrie last. They all fit about the same for me.
Hope that helps. Highly recommended.

@stichdown-shell Thanks for the reply. I tried them today, they were kind of comfortable, but they look like a beetle when looked from the top and I did not quite like that. Also the tighter waist on these is not making it appealing enough to me. I'm still on the fence with these if I should get them or just pass them on and look for something else.
