White's Boots
-
They are probably just over half as heavy as my SD's (I had a thick Vibram sole added to my SD's), the Oxfords are a little more flexible, and forgiving than the SD's, and yes I get a bit of heel slippage, but that is because I screwed my sizing up. These shoes definitely fit on the large side, I am a true UK 10, my SD's are a US 9.5 and fit perfectly, my Oxfords are a US 10.5 (the size I should be), and they are around half a size too big, but nothing that greatly bothers me.
-
so if you ordered them the same exact size as your SD's, you think it would be the money fit?
-
Yup, I think I should have matched. I read someone else say that the oxfords fitted smaller than the SD's, and I followed their advice. I have since learned that this person does not own the oxfords, or the SD's …..so was perhaps not best qualified to comment.

Most of the boot is HH, with the exception of toe cap and heel stay, I believe. Not mine, but a good indication…

The color of the brown horsehide has lots of depth.

For a beating, definitely, 100%, dress leather. The only problem is that it is so dark, it is almost black, but it does age really well.
Try PM'ing Ed (Demonito), I know he rates the smooth leather too, and I know people also like Bullhide for durability.

Brown Dress Leather
-
will the dress leather age from almost black to brown?
Difficult question, which depends mainly on how often, and what you treat the leather with, and how long you are willing to age them.
-
I've noticed with wear the brown is starting to peak through on areas that are getting scuffed.
