Fulbert, Captoe Derby Boot - British Tan | Hand Welted Classics Collection

These are very well made boots with excellent quality leathers, soles and extremely neat stitching. They are absolutely beautiful. They were also made quickly and posted quickly too. My main issue and it is a big one, is that the Royce last is very narrow. I ordered an 11 d width and it feels like the size I received is more like a 10.5 b/c even though it's printed as 11d. Customer support won't exchange, they just keep telling me to remove the insoles which doesn't fix the width issue. Ultimately, if you're happy to gamble on sizing, these are nice boots but just be aware what you get is final and blkbrds customer support is awful.

Got the tan boot made in Bordeaux. Lovely boot, good fit and nice with the leather sole. This is by second pair of Fulbert’s. They do tend to crease a lot so need good polishing care. Can’t wait to wear. 👍🏿

Highly recommend for the price. Great style and the leather and suede has held up very well after a year and a half of heavy wear. Fit true to size.

Too big in heels, my heels are slender I guess. Usually I can compensate by stringing up shoes tighter. But your lace up section was touching and too exact, so I couldn’t tighten the shoes to try and compensate for the loose heel area.
Still awaiting refund on both pairs of shoes.

This is only my second pair of welted boots, so take all that I have to write accordingly.
Communication and ordering: communication before the purchase was easy. The person on the other side was quick to respond and very forthcoming. He was nice enough to agree to some untrivial requests if mine, for which he deserves my appreciation.

The product: I like this boots very much and I think that they actually look even better than on the photos on site. The stitching, although not as dense as on my other boots from meermin, seems very accurate. The welt connection is barely visible. I literally struggled looking for it. The boots feel very comfortable right out of the box. There was no break in period- I walked wearing them for the whole day straight from the beginning. I red on forums that the harder the leather- the longer it would last. Maybe. Time will tell. Its true that some creasing on vamp appeard on the the first wear, but this also happend on my other pair of boots from meermin and I red that this is normal for most of leathers. Anyway, there is an option for upgrading the leather to different famous brands. I didn't do so and opted for the basic version, which appeared as a tremendous deal. Generally, I am very satisfied with the product, at least as an initial impression, and I can tell is that wearing this boots is a very pleasant experience, both from the side of aesthetics and from the side of comfirt.
