why keep it down? turn it up injun, turn it up. show us the seams, the inside of the footbed, the thickness of the leather used on the tongue. i want to see it all like i am checking them out in the store & trying to drown out the sales guy.

I have to agree - they seem to be nice indeed!

They're great. The leather is really beefy – may take a while to break in but they should last a good long while. I really love the old school outsole too. Craftsmanship is top notch a la Red Wing (fit the same too). They're keepers.

@bl@ster:
Just picked up the new Chippewa moc-toe boots from J. Crew. Really like them – nice thick leather and I prefer the heel to the wedge sole of Red Wings.
Here are some photos:
very nice, good alternative to the Red Wing 213 which they have decided to only make in Oxblood and for this season Black. I am quite disappointed that they skipped over the original light brown leather. If these Chippewas came in a 10 hole version they would be my full-time boots. I like that the moc toe appears to be a bit more refined/subtle, and less boxy. I think I might go for a pair if a sale comes around soon
Any chance we could get a front shot like you took with the backs of the boots?

I had a pair of steel toed boots years ago that had a similar hole. I was kicking logs in a bonfire to shift them closer together (yeah, I know, not smart) and the leather burned. I just left the steel exposed; I rather liked the way it looked.
