HEAVYWEIGHT BOOTS CHAMPIONSHIP 2013 - 2015
-
@tmg:
Figured out leathers and colours, but stuck on the single v. double sole issue. Are there any reasons why folks opt for one or the other, or actual practical reasons?
i do not want my sole (boots) to look too chunky so i´ll go with a single midsole…also i think that it´s a matter of comfort!
they´ll definitely break in easier!...I actually think that these boots (Bounty Hunter's) should look chunky, but whilst all of the photos of single and double allow me to see the difference, it's still very difficult to appreciate how it actually looks in reality. I'm leaning more towards the double midsole, if for no other reason than it at least should provide some of the visual 'heft' that is lost when specifying these boots without the lugged Vibram 100 sole; I'm also opting for 8" height, so the single midsole might look unbalanced…..
-
My personal opinion is that Bounty Hunters should be squat, and chunky.

^ looking forward to that then! gonna hold back with my order (even though everything's all set and done) till that day then…thanks in advance buddy!
My personal opinion is that Bounty Hunters should be squat, and chunky.
also true but looking at the ones posted a few pages back (the natural cxl pair, posted from emceeQ), I think that that's exactly what I want to own and wear for this contest and from now on on all my future boots purchases!
I'm not into that chunky a.k.a. armageddon kinda boots…but alas, to each his own

When is the deadline for order entry with Bakers? I must have missed it elsewhere.

Okay so there is still some time to decide. Good

Just got an Email from Kyle. Heaviest leathers available are black oiled, brown oiled and red dough distressed!
…so one of these will be a part of my boots! Or two;)
I've always wondered about the "oiled" leathers. I hope they're like a super heavy Chromexcel variant.
I'll have the swatch book soon and I'll try to answer questions about each leather. -

you're telling me. I almost had myself convinced that life as I knew it would cease to exist if I didnt insta-cop a few that he posted. Finn is trouble, ya heard

thanks for those updated images. i love them brand new. not so much so with some wear & tear, but i am in the minority were i actually polish my boots & do shoe trees & all that rubbish.
i always figure you spend your money you want your things to last & look crispy as long as possible.

looking at all the pics of those brilliant looking leathers really fucks with my mind and makes a final decision a mission impossible... -

also i´ve found a nice comparison between the different heel
shapesheights (sth. i wasn´t aware of tbh.)!
Double Midsole + 1/4 Inch Lower Heel (Left) vs Double Midsole + Standard Heel Hight (Right)
Double Midsole + 1/4 Inch Lower Heel (Left) vs Single Midsole + Standard Heel Hight (Right)
