      way better Hemi! it's really great to watch and see the progress your boots are making with every new update you're posting…
      finally they're in "wearable" status and it really doesn't take that much more to make them look/feel as some "real" boots!

      I actually like all 3 new versions...the black suede almost looks best when looking at the fitpics! great work there...keep on going sir!

              Personally, I much prefer the shape of the toe on the latest iterations…..

              Agreed, I like the Viberg type toe better

              and those black suede are yummy even with the different toe

                Nice improvements all around especially the balance look it now has with the toes. All there are beautiful and if I have to choose one, its going to be the yellow suede.

                Great job!!

                  They seem much better balanced now.  Overall impression is much better.  I love the yellow suede and commando sole.  Easily the coolest of the three, in my opinion, and I don't even like suede.

                    I think this one looks amazing:

                    Clean, low profile, office-work perfect!

                    is nice too, but I actually prefer the lower profile toe box.

                    nice work!

                    Seize the day and don't you cry.

                      Loving these Hemi.  Wish I was coming to Wellington on my next tour but unfortunately it's only Auckland this time.

                        Thanks guys for all the feedback, I really appreciate it.  I'm working on a new sample right now.

                        I decided to stain the leather runner on the black leather boot,  I think it looks a lot better.

                        I also gave them a wax which I get from my mate Tony (the pig hunter) who lives in Coromandel on the east coast of New Zealand.  He makes it from natural beeswax sourced from Manuka trees in the Coromandel native forests… you could spread it on your toast if you wanted!

                        What do you think?

                              Thanks Joe, they won't be too far away from International release.

                              I haven't named any of the boots yet so I maybe I should run a contest with the winner getting a free pair of boots?

                                      And agree, they're looking great now. Bet they'd look even better with non-overdyed denim too 🙂

                                      (and I'd love to try that honey/wax :P~~~~~)

                                          Classic, trust Seul!

                                          I use to play Rugby and was lucky enough to be part of one of the best loose forward trios in my region.

                                          6 - Hemi Pou
                                          7 - Semi Iafeta
                                          8 - Filo Tiatia

                                          Semi's dad was always on sideline screaming out, "Hemi, Semi, Filo, do something!", in his fresh Samoan accent… then he would start a fight with the opposition supporters.
