They have very little internal support. I put Dr Sholls inserts in them and they’re fine now. Great for wet weather down here because they are canvas and they dry quickly.

Palladiums are very comfortable, but no support like B-Man says. There is no shank inside the very light sole. They are basically canvas sneakers that happen to look a little like boots. Great for the summer.

Hello ! Today is also palladium I received yesterday from a second hand site . Special 75th anniversary edition "Légion Etrangère" . 55euros ( normal price as I know is about 100 Euros , but very difficult to find now ) , new in box . If interested , the guy have a good stock size from 40 Eu / 7.5 US to 47 Eu / 13 US. I don't know if LeBoncoin is international , ask the seller if interseted . You'll have to message the seller to get a pair.

These just arrived a little over a week ago. John Lofgren M-43 Service boots.
JL changed their sizing recently, so I’d say they’re now roughly in line with Red Wings’ Iron Rangers’ sizing. I probably could have ordered a half size smaller, but that just means I wear extra thick socks, which makes them about as comfy as sneakers.

Those look great! I’ve got a pair and love them. You actually did the right thing by sizing them the way you did. I was advised to go up half a size even though they felt a tad large. They’re hot in the summer and uninsulated for the cold. Wearing them in the summer will swell your feet a bit. If wearing them in the winter, you’re exactly right about thicker socks. The only complaint I have is that they come with farby laces. I recommend grabbing a pair of original issue russet service boot laces on eBay for $5.

Nice Jan and you swapped the laces over?
I have to say I find my roughouts pretty comfy with no additional padding added
Recently went to wear my Palladium’s and the laces snapped, not worn em for more than a year so dropped an email to see if they sell spares and the lady was really kind to wonder down to the factory to get me some spares ( they don’t sell spares for info )

Viberg 310 with around 3 weeks of usage, mostly motorcycle rides and slow breaking in time. The quality and savoir faire invested in these boots by the artisans at Viberg is amazing. I needed to rotate my very old RW Iron rangers and spotted the 310 range and knew that I wanted a pair. Fitting a pair of 310 was particular but the girls at Viberg were mega helpful and patient.
Went for a dark brown wooly chromexcel shade and from what I can see, they will age beautifully.
