The Engineer 8Rs? I treated my Engineer 12Rs (they're the "sand" color) with mink oil to soften them up, because they're very stiff! The color didn't change, but that's in my experience. What color are your boots?
I also have the short Veronica slouch boots in burnt orange and tomorrow I'm going to order the 12r engineers in brown for my bday. Can't wait!
Well, I honestly never realized how gorgeous these harness boots were (especially this broken in) until I saw this bloggers post......thanks to her I have a pair on the way! I ordered half a size down after reading everyone's suggestions here so hopefully they will fit.

scorp116 said:Hi, can I ask about the sizing on your short Veronica slouches? I usually wear size 8 but I have a pair of Rory scrunches and 7.5 fit fine (they're even a tad loose with thin socks). I'm looking online at some Veronica short boots but the site I'm checking only has a 7.5 in the color I want so I'm wondering if they run big or if they're more true to size.
Thanks in advance!
Those were tts for me. The ones that ran large were the Chelsea's. You may need an 8 for the Veronica's. Check the zappos reviews, they will help you too.
I got my new Veronica Slouch distressed boots on Friday and was torn about the sizing, but after messaging the awesome Matt and his killer advice, I am keeping this size and plan to have the toe-box area stretched.
I usually wear a solid size 8 in most all shoes (an occasional 7.5 if they run big) but I have wide feet with very high arches. I ordered these in an 8 and upon receiving them I immediaitely thought I should have ordered the 8.5 because altho they are the right length toe-to-heel, they are very tight across the toe box (too narrow). I absolutely love this style and Matt explained that a cobbler can stretch the toe box area (the only part that feels uber tight on me) and with wearing them a few hours around the house each day, they are getting easier to pull on & off.....soooo, here they are! What do you think?? My birthday present to myself!
Thank you so very much, Matt!!!
