          I've been pretty happy with them.. the leather is excellent and just a little bit more than cow.  Part of the color change might be due to the fact that I coated them in some whites wax after almost right away.

              His are horsehide, which costs a bit more than cowhide.  Still a bit early for you, huh Giles?

                The CXL from whites is only about 30 bucks cheaper than the horsehide at bakers.  The extra money for HH seems to be well spent.  I'm no expert, but it seems a little thicker and I think it ages better.  The CXL from them seems to have a bad rep, so what I just wrote might not mean much if that's true.

                    I know.  Reread the sentence, it is ambiguous….He makes no reference to price, therefore his "a little bit more" has no reference point...

                    Yes.  Normally only see this sort of time, if I have a fishing rod in my paws…

                      I did.  You're right.  Guess it's a bit late for me.;)  Think I'll call it a night…

                        The more I look at these the more I think I should sell my RW Iron Rangers and get a pair of these instead

                                      Can't say anything bad for $85 🙂  Are they really that red?  Not too big on the sole.  That's what my black SD pair has.  I've decided that I like the half sole better.  Still, you could send them in for a resole and still not spend half what you paid for a new pair!

                                        The only reason I didn't go that route back when I was looking for some boots is I couldn't find a pair I liked without a leather sole.

                                          dave thanks for the images. your boots are coming along very nicely,  guess once the camera is out you make really great use of it.


                                          dirty denim, i'm glad you stumbled upon a great deal with your boots.  they look really red to me  :-\  but again i'm glad you are happy with them

                                            They are def a red u would see on the trees in the fall..thats the best description for them.  I would never have bought this color if i were buying them in a store..They are very outfit specific meaning i have to kinda cater to them other wise they do stick out like a sore thumb.  The actual style of boot is exactly what i was lookin for but would trade these any day for either another color or better yet my favorite lookin boots…Wolverine 1000 Miles..LOVE those fekkers.  I will most likely be tryin to trade them soon..I wore them out twice so far and they look better than u'd expect but like i said if u dont have the gear to mix in with them then they are just gonna be pretty on ur shelf
