      On the contrary, I love the lowered block heel. Different strokes…

      Leather is ageing beautifully on those BrownIcon.

        I own both types of heels and have to say the block heels beat the "cuban" heels by far when it comes to versatility.

        Anyway, like those boots a lot. By the look of them I am wondering what your shoe size is?

          The standard heel is a different look for sure, but after owning both I now prefer the standard over the block.

            for aesthetic reasons or others? (which?)

              I prefer the standard heel for aesthetic reasons really, my first SD's had the block heel and I got sick of people saying "nice boots, Red Wing GT's right?", every time I posted a WAYWT.

              I've heard people claim that it feels better to walk in the standard heel, but I honestly cannot tell the difference.

                mega, did you off those Whites that you had resoled by that hack of a shop in London, or did you send them to Whites for the spa treatment?

                  Love how that bison leather looks!

                  How is bison leather durability wise compared to ordinary cow leather?

                    Neither yet, I've only worn them twice since getting them back. I'm considering just selling them on the Bay, and getting a new pair I think.

                              Nope, Baker's. They're not custom but they are my size so I could care less and at that price 😘

                                          Yes, black CXL Smoke Jumpers. It was a gift, I'm not gonna complain one bit! Hell, I'm lucky she got the sizing right cause I think sale items are non-returnable
