          Very nice work Hemi.  Waxed would make me feel more confident.  Have you explored lining your boots in calf yet?

            No, I haven't made a lined version yet.

                    Thanks… I'm almost embarrassed at the earlier models I made!

                      Those waxed ones :-*. No need for embarrassment Hemi. I think we all appreciate watching you evolve your craft. From the get go your work has been good. Each iteration takes it up a notch, or two, or three.

                      I agree with natehate, you'll have a waiting list when you're ready 😉

                        Here's the first sample two piece rubber sole unit that we're producing here in New Zealand.  I'm making a boot to put it on now… watch this space!

                              So, I've just finished these three new boots and I'm currently building the sample with our own two piece rubber commando sole as well as a shoe version.  I've also managed to get some Vibram (white) soles.

                              The boots are very close to international release now.

                                        Thanks guys, I've got to wear one for the Heavyweight Boot Contest… might wait for the two piece commando sole version?

                                            Dark Brown seems to have the best shape.  I was reading if you don't use a second layer on the top cap it will flatten down and look like a slipper.
