HEAVYWEIGHT BOOTS CHAMPIONSHIP 2013 - 2015
-
Both my pairs have matching color tongues- green and blue. I never discussed tongue color, that's just what they gave me. The green one is a completely different leather than the rest of the boot. Different shade, thickness and so soft it feels like upholstery grade leather. The blue pair has navy CXL for the tongue, just like the rest of the boot, but thinner.
It may be heresy, but I'm not very impressed with CXL, by the way.

Had to have a pair made with it before I could form an opinion. It's not bad, just not as nice as the latigo leather Viberg used for my green boots. And based on how effusive everyone is about the stuff, I guess I just expected something more mind blowing.
-
oh well see how i go, i have already found more boots i want
-
if you could do it all over & build a boot what would you do houston chris? maybe save it for the question thread, but the thought just came to me & i had to get it out before i forgot it.
-
Todd- I'm sure you'll love them- you've got a beautiful make up and the quality is excellent.

if you could do it all over & build a boot what would you do houston chris?
I wouldn't do anything differently, I don't think. I love both pairs, just for different reasons. I kinda went on a boot binge over the last 5-6 months, so now there's nothing I really want, and I'm happy with all the new pairs I've got.
That said, the need for a new pair could strike at any time, of course.
-
First walk to work in these. Not a crease in site. Feet feel fine.
-
Very nice Zwer, how do you like them?
Chris, I am also not a huge fan of CXL, much prefer latigo and dress leathers respectively.
-
I like them a lot. I was a bit worried about the colour out of the box, but as I suspected, they work really well with denim.
Walking is my main form of transportation so we'll see how they hold up to me and how I hold up to them. Today I think the boots have a slight edge.
-
Width is good. I would have guessed I was an E, but after sending in the tracings, measurements and a long phone chat with Josh at Baker's, I was comfortable with their recommendation. They're roomy, but not loose.
Still have to work on my lacing as there are some minor pressure points on the top of my feet.
-
Switched to the leather laces and added the false tongue for today.
-
Love these boots. Go with the kilty (tongue) it's what sets the BH apart from the SD boot.
-
-
great simple boot.
think i would actually wear them if they weren't stacked so high, can't wait to see them get some wear.
-
C'mon, Monday- who doesn't like a little extra sole?
Yeah, I know. That was terrible.
-
So many nice boots in this thread.
These Whites crossed my facebook feed today, it startled me a little for some reason but I thought it was really cool so I figured I'd share.
From the poster "Whites are insane. These are starting their 14th fire season and I only had the tread replaced once (last year) all other leather is still good. Mink oil only…...hope they can make it 13 more!"
Figured you guys were about the only people I know that would appreciate that.
