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...

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

[Seul]

Gotta say I like yours better!..

Might put on a thin Vibram sole on mine btw.. The ones I had placed on me Grenson's… Cobbler said these soles are basically indestructable...

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!..

[madmonday]

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 

[Seul]

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!..

[madmonday]

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. . .

[Seul]

Me neither. Melton/ J. Peterman sweaterjacket/ 16/ XHS?.. Any of that?.. Maybe the incoming beige FH chambray?.. We'll see… I'll fix ya pic tomorrow!..

Haha  no. Uk11. I just got ahold of Ben, he recognized my profile name from eBay about a year back on a pair of Veldtschoens. Of course he says that my large size are hard to come across and boots are far rarer than the shoes. So he hunt continues on.  I'll keep a look out for you too Seul. I check daily.
