Nice boots. Still really my favorite version of Nick's - simple, straightforward, non-complicated. And once broken in, they are amazing to wear.

Gotta be honest here, I've not posted much this summer, and no photos either, just been a little too hot and just not "feeling it" to really put much out there. Continued 90's and 60 - 90% humidity and I only wear shorts, microfiber t-shirts and running shoes. Had a pair of boots on for 15 minutes Sunday to wear to church, could not even do it, took them back off. I'll admit I'm more of a cool weather fan and this summer in the Midwest is proving it to me. :)

Do anyone know if CXL normally stretch more so should I consider it on sizing, e.g. Choose 9.5D Mister Lou vs 9.5E

I have a pair of John Lofgren Chelsea's in CXL that I've worn most days for a few years now. I haven't noticed a significant amount of stretch that would need to be factored in as far as sizing goes.

Here are the John Lofgren CXL Chelsea's. I've done my best to beat the **** out of them. Had them resoled over to the Vibram Christy 4014 sole, I believe. Much better profile and comfort than the original, IMO.

We had a stretch of 100+ for a while in July.
Low 90s with high humidity here the last few days.
I where jeans and boots to work everyday. Whether it's 101° or 5°

I soften up my new leather booths with some ol’ saddle soap. May cause color fastness. I too have the iron rangers and they are just solid boots, had them about a decade now while working and playing in them and they age like fine wine.
