Till, just pulled the trigger on the Baxter 'saddler' in walnut…not sure how long it will take to travel 10,000 miles....great shout on the 1 piece leather feature...will post some pics once I get hold of 'em
Damn you Stewart and Till. I love that one piece design. Stewart, how much did you pay all up and where you buy from? G

Been dealing with a guy called Mick Green @ www.bootsaustralia.com (mick@bootsaustralia.com). He has been most helpful with size issues etc. -

Congrats on the Baxters, Stewart. Excellent shoe for a very good price, I say. I agree with the usefulness of a rubber sole. It is not easy to find a well-made shoe with a thin rubber sole that can be worn with a wide variety of clothes and in bad weather, too. I have never damaged leather soles by wearing them in the rain but I do take good care of my shoes. I'd however not like to wear leather soles in snowy slush mixed with salt or gravel. That does kill them easily.
Side note: I am close to 40, too (37) and if you look anything like your twin brother of whom you posted a pic, I am jealous. That's one fit almost 40 year old.

I wore a pair of kickers with my 634S today…plain ugly or acceptable !!!! (they were a fashion icon when I was a teenager in the 80's)

Duhhh! Just realised I don't need these. Just hunted out my RM Williams (bought in Sidney a few years ago) to take them in for a new sole, and realised they are also one piece construction. What a dunce…..

@tfar:
Very nice boots, Giles. They look a lot like the Baxters. Is that the same manufacturer? Would be interesting to compare the two. Are they available in US or UK?

Hey Boys and Girls
These a pretty cool pair of boots for the price. Got mine for £45 from Ebay, the guy had worn them twice.

Good job!

Thanks for the links, Giles. Can you tell us more about the maker and how you like the boots? How long have you worn them before they needed a re-sole? I really like this model:

Too bad one cannot see the leather structure very well. The other tan color boot looks good, too. I wonder if it's the same leather. They look slightly different. I don't want light suede leather; too fragile.
