sorry, was not able to respond right away.
YES, they're "Tug Of War" in reversed waxed kip leather. the boot shaft is a 1-pc, single leather all around [ie, no back seam]. the leather gauge seemed a tad thicker than my SJ rough-outs.

not really a hit in the "charm" department _, but out of the box, the epic boot construction is quite apparent. IMO, they're boots that "walk the walk". the triple leather sprung-toed sole puts a roll on the stride. i'm thinking, maybe, once the boots break in & the soles start to flex, the roll could turn to spring.

1st couple of days, 'twas like walking in a pair of Dutch wooden clogs … quite stiff & no "give" at all. start of its 2nd week & it's starting to turn a corner, literally ;). the vamp is stretching & the shaft is starting to soften up due to the additional oiling [i'm guessing]. if the reverse waxed kip is anything like the SJ R/Os, they'll be fab & comfy in about a month or so.

hopingly, the experience won't be ardouous what the model name implies
