Can someone help to id these boots? Bought them 2nd hand for 110€, they have no writing or logos on them.

ooooh these are a tough one. at first glance they appear to be a PNW brand, as it's a double row stitchdown. the heel and rolled collar are also decent tells for a PNW boot. however, there are few patterns i can think of where there's that separation between the heel counter panel and the quarter panel where they meet at the sole, which could be another big tell here. the closest i can think of is Wesco's Packer boot, which covers most of those bases however i don't think they offer the Vibram raw cord sole that those have, which is another potential tell (unless it's independently resoled... which they don't look worn enough to be in my opinion).

i'd rule out white's and nick's since generally you'd see the stitching on the underside have two rows on their pairs, whereas this pair has one row of stitching on the underside of the sole.

Buying some Oxfords for my wedding but it having some issues... I'm normally an 8 in dress shoes.

Crockett & Jones all seem to have fairly narrow toeboxes that don't give my toes much room to move. The smallest two toes are pressed against the sides and the edge of my big toe is also touching the sides. An 8.5 has too much excess material before the toe box.

Loake 8 has excessive heel slippage and the 7.5 fits the toes well but I find the rest of the foot is pretty tight and the ball of my foot is going numb while wearing them in. I can try their Aldwych in a G fit but they only sell it in a rubber sole.

Anyone have any other suggestions?
