        ^ 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!

        @Megatron1505:

        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.

                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.

                                        also i´ve found a nice comparison between the different heel shapes heights (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)

                                          Lowered heel throws off the balance of the boot, IMO. Especially with the double midsole.  I wonder how it affects the feel.

                                            Personally, I think the lowered sole looks wrong & the "proper" height sole is the proper height for a reason…..

                                            Edit.  Chris got in first and I suspect the end result is nowhere near as comfortable....
