Indie Ridge for the win!
David, thank you very much for your post on this brand and your recommendation.
i swung by their location on my way to my first pickup this morning. Stephanie saw me pull up on the yellow Beemer and waved me in to their front office.
In my call yesterday I told her that I was interested in the “Knight” style and gave my size. She had two pairs of them out on a table for me to try, and sure as their website says, 10.5, my normal tennis shoe size, fit like a glove. Like one Reddit reviewer commented, it was like little leprechauns had made them just for me.
She said that she figured I’d be coming on a bike, so she didn’t have a box out but offered one to me. No need, it was clear in an instant that these are keepers.
Purchase completed, I tucked them into the side case and headed to my first pickup. I was early, so I slipped them on and figured I’d start breaking them in while waiting patiently in the hospital research area.
Only thing I just had to do was re-lace them. It’s weird what specific things you take away from life experiences. I retain no military bearing whatsoever, but as if through Pavlovian conditioning I still need to lace all of my shoes and boots the way the Drill Instructor beat it into me… “Outboard over inboard, no bridge!”
I can’t even remember what that means but it looks like this. Still waiting here at the hospital, and it feels like angels are circling around my feet, gently caressing them.
David, thanks for the tip on some kick- butt boots.
