            That is exactly why I picked them up… They're hard as fuck and deserve to be worn under IH jeans!..

            Beautiful table as well, btw...  🙂

              these are mine, no idea of age though - maybe 1960s?

                  Lovely detail on that toe plate.  Impressive hobnails, too.

                                They look so great Seul. Contacted the guy from sufu you mentioned so thank you. If I got the boots I would be amazed. Been looking for my size for around a year or so.  🙂 🙂

                                  I too am now officially looking for a pair of Lotus veldtschoen style boots. Hope you're not a 7.5UK!.. 🙂

                                    not into them seul.  make me a beliver & let me see them in a fit flick.  the seller couldn't at least throw in new laces for you?

                                    WTF homes  😠

                                      I will not replace the laces and am very grateful the seller didn't replace them!.. I know not a lot of non-€uropean/ non-British people even 'll be into them… It's like buying one of them old 4 cilinder Porsches... Can't compare 'm with the beasts of today, but it's what started it all!..

                                        i do respect the fact that it is something i don't get, i believe if everything was for everyone the world would be a boring a$$ place.  i do need to see them worn cause i just can't see it with any of the gear i see you in  :-\

                                        not undecided on the shoe, i'm not into them at all, i'm undecided on what you are going to put them on with. . .
