      Yeh, but the object of the competition is not to destroy your boots, it is to care for and assist in the beautiful aging of your boots over a two year period.

      Honestly (unpopular thought warning), I think that the natty CXL guys will love their boots for the first year, and hate them by the end. Just my opinion.

        No matter what I go with, it won't be something that I wear everyday anyways as I can't wear shit kickers to work, which is why I think I might get a little more out of these, who knows…

          A toe cap is too dressy for me for everyday wear but that's just me…

            Why you say that? I've seen some beat pairs but I've seen some phenomenal pairs. All depends how you care/don't care for the cxl

              Haven't seen any two years old though, and like I say it's just my opinion.

                      think all the natty cxl pairs will just look dark brown or dirty depending at least from the one or two natty cxl items i have.

                      the patina i admire most show on dark brown smooth type leathers.  you see the nice scuffs & they get lighter then you buff them out or shine them up & do it all over again.

                      sorry i fell asleep, need images in here  😉 way too much text . . . .  will work on that in a few .  . .
