Thinking about buying my first pair of Courteney boots. I have wide feet (8.5 Wide). Can anyone comment on fit, break-in etc? Appreciate the help.
 
Tango: I bought one size under my current US size after fitting with Jim at @African Sporting Creations. I do prefer a tighter fit in all my boots and I like a good arch so maybe that has something to do with it. I will say they have a very large toe box for me (I have a fairly narrow foot) and I messed around with a few different insoles to fill that void up to get it where my foot liked it.
As far as break in I just oiled mine up and started wearing them.

This is Jim from African Sporting Creations and we are the US distributor for Courtney Boots. Sounds like you would take an 8 UK. Most just lace them up and start walking. If you have super wide feet may have to break them in a little bit at a time to avoid blisters but that is the exception versus the rule.
 
Thank you both very much.
 
Courteney makes their boots in English sizes. So if you usually take American 8 1/2, English 8 should be about right. Apparently, they are relatively wide, so a wider foot should not be a concern.

My feet are a bit on the wide side, so a very narrow design can sometimes fit me well in a much larger size. That should not be the case with Courteney.

Had an excellent classifieds transaction with JoninCO. A truly honest and standup member. I wouldn't hesitate at all to deal with him again. Thanks, J!

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks
Mike
hi, do you know about lions hunters, leopard hunters, and crocodiles hunters of years 1930s-1950s
I'm new to Africa Hunting. I would like to purchase a Heym 450-400 double rifle. I'm left-handed but would prefer a non-canted gun. Is anyone in the community considering parting with theirs?
