I am between US 9 d and US 9 e.

Think you should be OK with UK 8. Yes, the last is a little wider than average.

 

 

Maybe I have strange feet...or strange socks.

Well I went with uk8. The fit perfect first day around the house.  Felt a bit snug the second.  Fingers cross they stretch a tad

Anyone have any experience stretching the shafts of engineer boots? I am still struggling to get my RRLs on and off (struggling as in, needing to surgically remove them) 

Once they are on my feet they are fantastic tho :/ 

 

Just looking for some advice to give my cobbler & what exactly to ask for

No, but i am pretty sure i would rip the heel off the boot using one lol 

When using a boot jack you shouldn't be prying the boot off by the heel. The jack should be around the heel counter area, to avoid pulling the heel off. 

 

And, like IH asked, are you unbuckling the instep strap?

Haven't posted here in a long while but I just got these and I like them!  Russell Moccasin Imperial with French Veal leather and Vibram 430 sole.  Super-nice and comfy, even on the first wear!

Beautiful boots! I have a pair of these on order, and seeing yours is making me anxious to get them. Thanks for sharing!

Unmarked's instagram post of their work the past few days/months.  They'll give Yuketen some completion if they get carried more in other places and clean up their customer service.

I wonder if Unmarked makes some of Yuketen's boots? Word is certain Yuketen boots are made in Mexico...

Anyway, Unmarked seem to be the real deal.
