Olive CXL Garen boots by Miyagi Kogyo for Skomaker Dagestad

Not sure if anyone would be interested but Skomaker Dagestad is doing a GMTO of their Garen boot in Olive CXL. These are made by Miyagi Kogyo and look similar to John Lofgren combat boots but significantly cheaper.

Sure, here's the insole on an M43 after a year and change of wear—I think this is the first time I've ever thought to look closely at it:

 

and Here's the insole on a moc toe, worn maybe a half dozen times (feels like the same material):

Your pairs look very normal. I wonder if they used a different material for the anniversary boots. I haven’t worn the new pair but the first pair the lumpy and wrinkly footbed felt noticeable and was uncomfortable. 

New to the forum. Can anyone share pics of their Lofgren insoles? I bought a pair of the 10th Asniversary m43s and after a day of wear they looked like this. The retailer agreed to exchange them, and after 4 months they arrived and the insoles look about the same.   I’ve owned boots from other makers and the leather insoles have always been firm and smooth.
