Show us your boots

What model are those DM's, I looked at some is a shoe store in Edinburgh last weekend and have been trying to remember the name all week. I thought that they looked like great winter boots, and I've owned quite a few Docs over the years without any issues.
Edit: Are they Fitzroy's?
Those are the Ormond model in fact. After my initial fix, they have held up good so far.
I'm getting those for sure. I wear a 9.5US in most Red Wings, whats your fit like in those Ormonds?
I'm an US 10.5 in Aldens, UK 9.5 in Barker's and I bought these in UK 10, which is somewhat of a snug fit, but can use medium weight wool socks.

Navy ones, nice. Oak Street Bootmaker's winter collection should be out in a month or so too. I will pick one pair of new moc toe boots up this year!
Not seen the new lineup as yet, any good that you have seen?

Just been into H&M and spotted these horrible Grenson, Trickers and McNairy rip off boots and shoes. They felt like the cheapest, most lightweight pieces of footwear that it has ever been my misfortune to handle, but they do show that the man in the streets tastes are catching up with the man (and woman) on the exclusive clothing/ fashion forums.

One look at the leather on the top boot and you know these are cheap as they look like they are made of plastic.

How much were they? They look like shit even by shit's standards
-
They were indeed cheap plastic, and cost £35 - £45 per pair.

Not to hate on people who can't afford the real deal, but even 50-60 USD for one of those is a crime… Inflation must be taking it's toll or this is just an example of the 'rip-off Britain' thing I've heard so much about.
-
I was going to take some pictures of the jackets too, lots of military repro looking stuff, flying jackets, plaid cruisers etc…
Some of the stuff looked quite cool, but when you actually touched them they felt so cheap. I doubt they would have lasted a month.
-
Would be a lot fecking easier to put them on as well… But seeing as how there's no vis on the straps as I wear them, I don't mind...
well why don
t you just bring them to a leathermaker? he can easily remove/cut the strap-part and re-sew the rest so that youll have the exact same boot but with a few inches less in hight… -
