          Triple terror is selling a custom pair at the moment, made from black chromexcel, in the buying and selling section for £100. Anyone who can fit a UK 9 needs to buy these immediately, they are stunning.

                  I ordered what I think might be a similar pair before Christmas - 178 leather soled boot in brown (burgundy) zug grain leather with rubber forepart. Not sure if that's what's in the picture above, but it's more or less what I was aiming for. Should be ready in a couple of weeks, all being well!

                  The only extra charge was the leather forepart, which is £5. Interestingly, they said they'd send me a PayPal request for the extra £5 when the boots are done. It looks like their e-commerce site isn't set up to add extras on. The good news is, I get advance warning of when they're ready.

                      Thanks, what was the difference in cost to the standard boot? Would you mind posting a couple more pics?

                        I paid £159.90 including S&H to Norway (which is a great price for boots like this imo). I'll take a few more shots when I get off work tonight and post!

                          Good price indeed, how do they compare to your White's for build quality and comfort? Also, do they run true to size?

                          The 78N is called a hob nailed boot, but they're not actually hob nailed are they?

                            Yeah, they're really hob-nailed.  Seriously old school.  I found the sizing to be a tad large; I'm consistently a size 11US, a 10 in Viberg (UK sizing) and have a pair of Tricker's in size 9.5.  My William Lennons in size 10 required a fairly thick insole to work for me.  A 9.5 might have worked, but WL doesn't do half sizes.

                            Can't make a comparison to White's, as I don't have any, but I'd call them well built and sturdy, though a touch unrefined- some untrimmed threads, rough edges here and there, slightly sloppy glue work, seams that aren't always perfectly aligned, that sort of thing.  Nothing that affects the comfort or durability, or even is noticeable without close inspection, but there if you're looking for it.  Comfortable, once they break in, which takes a while.

                                  Is the Zug grain heavier than their regular leather they use on these boots?  By much?  And in hindsight (all above) are there any other features you would have asked for?

                                    Dunno about zug grain v smooth, but in retrospect, I would have gotten the commando sole instead of the leather sole.

                                      Chris's analysis on the build quality is spot on, if you're only used to wearing Vibergs or Whites then you might find them a little sloppy by comparison. What they are is functional, built like a tank in the oldest of old school ways, and something a little different to what we usually see.

                                      At the price, you will not find many better boots, they are not £100 worse than Whites or £200 worse than Vibergs, which is where they do bear comparison.

                                        Repeated with emphasis, as they are, I think, the most relevant statements about William Lennon that can be made.

                                          Yes and they are lining them in calf for me, for £10 a boot.  I might go for a bit of rubber on the tips, I like that touch, or maybe even blakies for supreme impact.  Lovely simple boot.  I do love the brass stud on the WW1 boot, might see if I can merc that on these.  Thanks boys.
