This LTT lined version in a relatively stiff leather fits smaller compared to my unlined plain toe in unlined oil tan leather does. Hurts my ankle bone. Pressure more than rubbing. Toes are slightly cramped in length. Light cushion socks or lighter. Long break in 10.5 D would probably be better heel to ball and heel to toe. 8" or higher would probably help relieve my ankle pain.

What would survive all out nuclear war? That’s a good question, and my answer would be a Nokia and these 350 Cutters. Before the review, here’s a quick run down on my sizing experience with these: I’m a 9 C/D on the Brannock. I got these in 8D based on Kyle from Baker’s recommendation. The 55 Last is a voluminous last, designed with functionality in mind. It has a very rounded toe from the top down, and the amount of room in the forefoot is evident. I have plenty of space to wiggle my toes around, which is essential if you’re spending all day on your feet. I’ve spent way too much time in boots that are too narrow and the result is ingrown toenails, and those my friend are not fun. The arch securely holds your feet in place and has helped take stress off my back. The length in front of my toes is damn near perfect. I haven’t experienced any ‘White’s Bite’ in these, I find the instep area to be quite roomy. The heels are nicely snug and the quarters are spaced perfectly apart when I lace them up. Overall, I find the 55 last to be very functional. It’s great if you’re spending all day on your feet. I personally would prefer the fit to be a smidge narrower, so I may try the C461 Last next. For reference, I’m an 8D in Iron Rangers, 8.5D in Grant Stone’s Leo Last, 8D in Grant Stone’s Alexander and UK last, 8.5D in Truman’s 79 last and 20 last, and 8.5D in Thursdays. REVIEW: Overbuilt is an understatement, these boots are unashamedly proud of how robust they are. I spent a long time pondering what my first proper PNW boots would be, and these 350 Cutters kept invading my mind. I thought about the MP boots, but everyone and his grandad has an iteration of the service boot. I wanted something unique and a bit out of my comfort zone, something that would challenge me in the best way possible. Naturally, that led me to buying these, and I’m so glad I did. Kings of Chonk is how I’d describe these, please for the love of God don’t wear these with skinny jeans! From the bottom up these are built like a tank. The Vibram 430 outsole isn’t new to anyone, but it suits these well and creates a somewhat more refined silhouette than a lug sole would. The logger heel is badass and I can’t believe at one time I thought it was feminine, I’ve evolved immensely throughout this boot journey. I find the logger heel helps my gait somewhat. The handsewn stitchdown was executed very well on my pair, with consistent SPI throughout and hardly any unevenness. The Cinnamon Waxed Flesh uppers are thick and the smell is intoxicating. I probably look like a freak when I smell my boots but I don’t care anymore haha. Watching the waxed flesh develop a patina is like admiring a beautiful painting or work of art. The yellowish/brown tones that are revealed when the wax wears off gives the boots a sense of warmth to them. I put the kilties on my pair and the amount of people who ask what the hell I have on my boots is surprisingly high. When I tell them they’re called kilties, they laugh at how funny it sounds. I take it as a compliment. The laces are LONG, of course you can cut them to a shorter length, but I’m too lazy so I just wrap them around 2-3 times. You do what you gotta do! When I place my feet in these, I feel like I’m getting knighted by the Queen of Bootdom. The arch is heavenly, however it does require a bit of a learning curve; as is the case with most worthwhile things in life. The oak tanned insole and midsole are game changers, they are nearly impervious to wear and will undoubtedly form a long lasting impression of your feet. Through and through, these boots deliver. Often in life you cannot have your cake and eat it too, but with these boots you can. They will probably outlast me.
