^ wonderful D.! thinking about some horsehide as well tbh. even though the price isn´t really that tasty!…

[davito]

Mate thx man, you wanna have quality and heritage you pay or you buy something different and still think about the item you actually wanted. Any leather is very cool too to begin but horsehide is a whole diff league. I can only support your decision to go hh

have the next hh engineer on my radar hope it works out if not i buy probably a cxl

[tatmantall]

having a cxl engineer built right now, but a hh one maybe on the horizon….
those hh engineers are amazing david

@Finn666:

Yo Chris, these are made on the 2030 last, right?

Yes, that's the 2030 last. (like FurattoHeddo said)

As for stretching boots in the toe, it might be possible, depending on the boot and where you need the extra room.  Generally, I'd say it's unlikely to get much for your effort.

^ o/course that´s what it is mate…i´m not complaining and maybe i already have found my competition boot as well...who knows

my Ironworker horween black smooth chevron sole about two months ago

and the service 50's horween merlot smooth dainite sole

[davito]

overall shape and loving the vintage toe profile

[Finn666]

how are you liking the dainite sole david?

[davito]

I like it Rafa, at the beginning you need to be a bit careful on slippery grounds when wet but as soon as it has broken in (goes pretty fast) absolutely perfect. The rubber holds pretty good, also in my lifestyle with the dog when going out into the nature. And I like the overall look of the sole itself, just make sure you get a legit one

I believe in a service boot I would choose again either this or the good old cats paw if still available.

[Finn666]

thanks a lot for the feedback mate! will take this into consideration o/course…
