How is asymmetric heights a "minor" imperfection? Otherwise would be a good deal.

pearteacharIndeed! One can live with a scratch here and there but an uneven heel height would be horrendous.

cagenutsI think they’re referring to shaft height, not heel height. And since the tops will be covered by your trousers, it’s a relatively minor imperfection.

nasprattYep that's what I meant, just couldn't think of the terminology at the time. Growing up in Rhodesia, we all wore these Chukka boots but they were called 'veldskoens' which roughly means bush shoes. No socks and shorts were the order of the day and they survived mud, water, bugs and whatever else was lurking in the bush.

nasprattIt says "asymmetrical interior heights", so I don't know if that would refer to the shaft. It almost sounds like footbed height, which WOULD be horrible. However, I have two pairs of AE seconds, and have never heard of a seconds defect that could affect gait. It would be great to get clarification, though.

pearteacharI think the pictures are pretty clear, showing the difference is in the ankle height of the suede and not the soles/heels.

black_mamba? I am not sure I understand what you are replying to? I know the difference they were referring to was in the ankle height of the suede - I don't think I ever said otherwise? Also, I sadly received a pair with asymmetric heights (on initial drop) and returned them.

black_mambaI think you meant to reply to me, maybe? I either missed those pictures, or they just put them up. Still, the wording is very strange. In what way would the shaft height be "interior height"? Either the person at Massdrop responsible for the ad copy messed up the wording, or they're using some bootmaking term that's unintuitive, and not well known.

YabosMcGeeThe terminology for this defect was provided by Allen Edmonds. It's about the height of the top of the upper, not the height of the heel or insole.
