Selling boots detailed in subject / imaged below.

I bought these as my grail boots but unfortunately they fit too tight (I'm a 10D on the brannock -- these fit like a 9.5D).

Worn twice, maybe thrice, and unfortunately the back of one of the boots clipped a stair and caused some abrasion on the midsole.

The leather is gorgeous and as you can see the rolls are already starting to come in. The stitching is of very high quality as well. This is a boot that will surely last a lifetime.

Asking $950 and will split the shipping with whomever purchases, shipped via their preferred method.

how much wear since the original posting? can you throw in some additional pics?
Hi Churam,

Thanks for your interest.

There has been no wear since the original posting due to sizing.

I am a 10d on the brannock and these would fit someone 9-9.5d on the brannock depending how they like their boots to fit.

Happy to send you additional pics/angles via dm. Just let me know what you would like shown specifically.

Best,
James

Hi Gaz,

Hope all is well.

I’m located in Toronto but do not mind shipping internationally. Happy to discuss arrangements for mutual alignment.

Best,
James

(not interested in purchasing these but)

did you order these from brisel or secondhand pickup? just curious on their sizing. as if you ordered a 43 and they came in 1/2 size short.

Hi Dmash,

I ordered these back when “bristle” was known as benzein, so a very long time ago now.

I had actually drawn an outline of my feet and sent it to them, somehow it still came back both short and narrow, but I never complained because they were so good looking and well made when I first got them.

I have a number of boots/shoes I never wear and just look at to be honest, but yes, the sizing was done very poorly on their part.

Best,
James

Appreciate the insight James. I actually had heard this same issue with Brisel/Benzein (if you actually give them measurements) that the last comes up a bit funky. I just did a request for a RTW size on my pairs to avoid this issue, and you just reiterated that I believe I made the right choice. Thanks for the response my man!

and yeah its a shame they seem to have lasting issues with MTO! As their product is FANTASTIC for the price.
