Def Yay for the Kilty, aka False tongue.

@tmg:

It might just be the resolution on my iPhone, but I can't see the difference?

It's only a few millimeters and one of the seams which is half hidden anyway is gone in the left one. It does make a difference for the overall impression of width however.

Could someone please let me know which custom boot, in which last (i think last is the right term) would best suit the use of orthotic insoles?  I would assume the flatter the foot bed the better, IE: not Arch Ease.  Am i right?

Looking good. What are the jeans?

After 8 weeks, the wait is over.

White's 6" Bounty Hunters

They fit great right out of the box. I feel like I could probably go with a regular width on my next pair though and only have a few days of break in time. Next build will be an 8" Bounty Hunter Plain Toe in all Natural CXL.

False Tongue or No false tongue? I'm torn.

These are my favorites from the thread.  Awesome.  I normally don't like the false tongue, but with this configuration it's perfect.

I was thinking of doing the same as this except for brown semi dress where you have the black.

Do you have any pics of them on?

Kiltie is whack, but that's just me.

[Giles]

Kiltie is BOSS, but that's just me…

I'll probably switch it out every once in awhile.

[EastWest]

I think give Kittie a showing here and there also, tastes change but that colour combo will always stay cool!

[hectic]

I like kilties, and I think long term (especially with leather laces) it will save tongue wear.

[SpaceGnome]

im anti-kilte, but regardless, the boots look great

[injunjack]

You could modify/cut those kilties so that you have longer "strips" of leather in them. That way they roll up nicely while they age…but that's just me...

I like the Oxford´s, I think about buying one pair for the next Summer. How do they fit compared to Red Wings? I have a US 8,5/EU 41,5 in my RW 875, but I think a US 9 would work better.

[Mild7]

So I took the plunge and ordered some Classic Work Boots in all black cxl, 8", dbl natural midsole, std heel 1/4" lowered with composition half sole, plain toe cap, single celastic, yadda yadda, yadda… These will be used for daily wear and motorcycle riding duties.

And now we play the waiting game.

The Whites Oxfords fit slightly bigger than Red Wings, stay with an 8.5 in my opinion.

Gear changing your cycle will destroy the CXL, it is a very soft leather, again, in my opinion.
