      @big:

      Nicecrackaction - is that the dark brown wayer buffalo (think it is) or the light brown with dark brown midsole?

      Hi big truck,

      here is the spec I sent to Baker's:
      Heel Base 90 Degree Blocked off Heel (Traveler), Hardware All Brass Eyes, Edge Brown, Upper (Shaft) Leather Brown Bull Hide, Size - Length 9, Toe Vamp Leather Brown Bull Hide, Size - Width EE, Sole Double Leather

      best

          Looks like brown bull hide to me.  I had a pair in that leather for a while.  I think the water buffalo has a smooth texture.

              A couple of nice pairs of SD's, at quite reasonable prices for the condition and custom options, on a buy it now, US 8.5

              Just a word on SD sizing, I am a true UK 10, and can quite comfortably wear a US 9.5 in Whites, they fit on the extreme large side in my experience.

                                  Sounds good TM, they should look pretty similar to mine apart from a different sole, and hooks and eyes.

                                  On the heel issue, I prefer the standard tapered heel. I think it adds to the sleek look of the boot.

                                    in that case I will like them.  After bakers receives my tracings and measurements they will call to confirm size.  I might change my heel to the tapered heel, it is growing on me.
