Not my cup of tea personally, only as they totally would not suit me.

Landed. Initial observations:
Much heftier than I expected. These are essentially low top boots.While the workmanship is on par or exceeds Red Wing, they do not have the same level of detail that my White's Bounty Hunters do.
The soles are stiff! Mega, the soles loosen up right?
I didnt really need to break in my Whites, most likely because they were CXL. I had to get used to the sole and arch though. These need break in. I cant tie them as snug as I would like because of this.
crap office iPhone pic. Ill post up better pics soon
-
Those are siccc.
I'd say the Hathorn line is a half step under the White's line but 3 steps above Red Wing.
-
Looking good SG, I have to say that your observations are pretty much the opposite of mine though. Mine fit, and were as comfy as sneakers from the get go, and I never really found the soles to be stiff at all.
Persevere though man, they are certainly worth it.
-
By break in, I mean the area around my ankles just need to get used to the rub and the leather needs to loosen up a bit. They are literally 35 minutes old at this point. Did you find the sole to flex better as time went on? I assume this will be the case, but im a paranoid bastard, and want to be 1000% sure on the fit before I go tromping around outside….
-
Honestly, I never had a second of trouble flexing the sole at all. I've worn Jordans with stiffer soles.
-
hmm, its not like a wooden plank or anything, but mine are pretty stiff out of the box. Im really impressed with the rough out. Its fantastic.
-
Sick… Hoping for some better pics, but you made me want a pair even more already...
Ill def. get some proper shots this evening. People tend to look at me weird when I post up in a parking lot and take pics of shoes
-
I would like some dress/ rough out Bounty Hunters at some point.
-
I think a brown rough out lower and brown dress upper would be pretty awesome.

I'm a black boot kinda guy myself
I'm interested to know how you like your oxfords in a weeks time, they look great, are you going to be wearing them to work?
-
yea, work shoes. My work is pretty relaxed, I can wear just about anything except sweatpants. We are going to Peru in December, and I plan on bringing these and some hot weather sandals. Im already liking them more and more.
-
Good stuff, "F.E.L"! Yet again another one of my interweb bros has me jonesing for another new pair of shoes I don't need! (No offense to Giles!)
Looking forward to some detail pics and a post on USN as well!
haha yup, I will make the intern rounds.
