[Chris]

It certainly could be worse- these took over a year from order to delivery, and they came in 3-4 months ahead of schedule…

custom built by Dave Wheeler, one of the finest bootmakers in business today.

@natehate:

i can only wear these 30 times in the next two months????
fuck! thats gonna be hard

I look at my bobcats everyday and think the same thing…I still contemplating if I should wait until the official start date or put some pre-wear into them

[Finn666]

maybe we should also start a "pic only" thread for this comp. as well?!

[seawolf]

Brilliant idea Rafa.

No leather liner? With all due respect, that's a mistake  :o

[Chris]

Why?  That's a heavy enough leather that a liner isn't necessary for the boot to hold its shape, and since it's rough out, the smooth side of the leather is on the inside, so a liner wouldn't be an improvement in feel.  Boots will be cooler without the extra leather, too.

[Nerkg]

I disagree about the feel. Smooth side of leather is nothing like say a calf liner
At least on Aldens. Mabey whites liner is much different

[Megatron1505]

I have owned 8 or 9 pairs of Whites, only ever had a leather liner in 1 pair, never missed not having one.

[Nerkg]

Horses for courses as you would say. I just love the smooth comfy feeling

[Megatron1505]

Exactly, I wasn't stating an opinion, simply sharing my own experience.

[Nerkg]

I think I've picked my boots for the competition . I'm excited to have both comp, run simultaneously! It's gonna be damn fun

[tigerpac]

Didn't think I'd spring for a proper boot until next year so I missed the 50 person cutoff but all this talk got me to order some red dog bounty hunter's - it'll still be fun to unofficially play along.

My wallet is made at you guys but I thank you for the inspiration lol.

[Megatron1505]

You can still compete it was extended. Keep up man !!

[bagley920]

Yeah man, I'm #75

[tigerpac]

Yikes my bad PMing you Mega!

[zwer]

@tigerpac - you going Red Dog smooth? If so, looks like I'll have a direct competitor. Sweet!
