Maybe they would show me pity lol. I honestly will unashamedly ask for a student discount because I am in college and I need discounts now more than ever. I did not even think about student discounts, so I am very grateful you brought that up.
I almost went the Ego7 route because I think they are very stylish, but its hard to find them used. I also looked on their rep map on the website, and half the tack shops no longer carried them anymore. I bet it has something to do with how popular they are these days.

Yes! Itās navy tooled trim (the narrowest option I think). I was debating adding grey piping to it too but the judges I was with said I should stay pretty staid. The main part isnāt the patent black either, it was whatever the medium option was, enough shine to look special but not enough I had to worry about cracking.
For what itās worth, ego7s didnāt come wide enough for me but my calves are wide and get full higher than the standard shape but I do know more standard sized people who love theirs.

Man these threads kill me 
I want new boots so badā¦ I am not fat (though Iāve gotten chubby in my 40s) and even before that I was a semi-custom. I have no joke 16.5āā calves but 7.5 feet, so I was able to get away with the DeNiro XXL calf and a custom knee so they werenāt gapping at the top, but then I got chubby from a medication and I donāt want to bust the zipperā¦ Sigh.

I know Iām a bit late to the party but wanted to throw my two cents out there anyway. I got measured in Virginia by Whitney Blanchard and I absolutely LOVE my LMs. I am tall so nothing off the rack has ever fit me. These boots, however, fit really nicely and (in my opinion) are really beautiful. They are just my show boots, however, so I canāt speak to how they would hold up as daily riders, but I have had them for four years and they still look gorgeous.
I hope your experience ends up being as good as mine!

So, Iām a neighbor of brokestudentEQ1 and went with her today for the measurement. I was so impressed with Mr. Lummis and his knowledge and the LM measurement process. His experience was invaluable. I have custom Dehners from 50 years ago that I showed the A circuit in. I still can ride in them, although they are not stylish now. Actually being able to see and touch the sample boots was great, and they take 24 measurements of each leg and feet for precision. If youāre thinking about these boots (they are beautiful in person!), Iād highly recommend being measured in person if possible, as opposed to trying to do it yourself. I"m as excited for her to receive the boots as she is .

Weāll need photos. 
Glad all went well. I always look at their boots at their KY3DE booth thinking, some day!

I ended up adding the front-facing āVā top in patent black with the silver initials, and other than that, they are just black field boots. Unfortunately, I spent more than I originally wanted. However, I think the upgrades I added will make the boot last longer!

Ooo those will be gorgeous! Did you get the reinforced inner calf patches? I was happy I did that. Easier repairs if you ride a hole through one.
Iāve had my three pairs almost 5 years now and have no regrets. Itās a pair of brown ones Iām eyeing now! I have the gray horse, the rust breechesāit seems like a necessary purchase 
I will also say that if I could wear my LM boots for everything I would. Every other pair of shoe I own I have to finagle in some way to fit my overly narrow heels + ankles coupled with really flat arches. These babies I have literally worn and stood in all day no issue.
I totally get now why some folks (likely with more disposable income than me) frequently purchase custom shoes for daily wear. Itās a game changer if youāve got odder than average feet.

I bought 3 pairs of paddock boots for that exact reasonā¦one for the barn, one for street wear, and a third in case something happens to one of the other pairs. They are the best shoes I own for my neck.
