Hey y’all
I have had a pair of Overlanders, HNW last, 9.5D, in Shackleton Greener Pastures. Break in was cake. Soft and comfy. 9.5D is def my proper size is 55 and HNW.
A few months back I got a new pair of Nicks in ‘64 Gray Roughout. HNW 9.5D. Same exact size and last. Now I’m having some minor nerve compression issues. Wore them a lot days 1-5. Then realized I had some numbness in the top of my foot. Removed kilties. Laced looser and gave them a few weeks off. Now, they feel decent. Still maaaaybe some minor stiffness and tightness, but I think it’s a break in issues with the stiffer ‘64 leather.
Funny enough, when I wear the ‘64s, they feel amazing. I don’t feel compression at all. But I did have the subtle numb feeling after that first aggressive 5 days of break in.
Now the question…
I am debating if Thurman last would solve this slight issue. HNW itself can’t be the issue, as my Shackleton pair is truly perfect.
Still, would it be a good idea for my next pair to go Thurman? Thoughts?
Thanks 🙏🏻
