HEAVYWEIGHT BOOTS CHAMPIONSHIP 2013 - 2015

[Omega Man]

A quick question:

If I am a 9 in semi-dress last for Bounty Hunter, am I also a 9 in the standard last for Smoke Jumper?

[Seul]

@Giles:

I think they all have Brazilians….

Or they're just too young…

Did anything ever happen with the leather samples?  I was waiting to see some pics before I pulled the trigger, but I need to get my order in to be ready for the HWBC.

Nope. I ordered a set from Whites a month ago. Haven't gotten them yet. Emailed them but no response yet.

[seanocono]

That's unfortunate. If it's any consolation, they haven't returned a couple of my emails, either.

[EastWest]

I'm in the process of taking leather sample pics from White's for my website. No promises but I will try to load up some shots for you on here within the next week. Haven't got them all but about 50 leather choices.

[seanocono]

Wow. That would be amazing, EastWest. Thank you. You could always  just post a link to your site, when it's completed, to save time. I know I'm not the only one who appreciates it. Thanks, again.

Very cool Simon.

[michaeljcr]

Very jealous Simon, my William Lennon's haven't arrived yet. What was the wait time on yours?

I've decided I can't wear mine anymore before the comp starts after wearing them 4 times. Too much indigo transfer and don't want to cheat the comp

Hi Michael, wait time was about 2 months, you will be delighted, they are seriously tough, walking down stairs just now was like i was in ice skates.  Looking forward to seeing your pair.

[michaeljcr]

I ordered on the 20th December, chased them a few days ago. I was going to get White's for the comp, but I already had these on order, and I think a few Brit pairs in the mix will be good!

Boot contest registration is re-opened due to unbelievable interest, we have 75, we can go to 100.

[Finn666]

start date stays the same though?

[Megatron1505]

Exactly.

[EastWest]

Hi all, leather samples will be posted up either here or on my site by early next week, 50+ individual shots that need trimming so bare with me.

Cheers.

Pretty excited for this, J.  Your hard work is fully appreciated.

Just had word that my boots will be another 2 - 3 weeks, they were ordered on January 28th. Just out of interest for all you who are waiting.
