    Hey Bluegrass, which leather is that, maybe natural CXCL? They are so "shiny"…

            Bluegrass, are those 1/4 lowered heels? also what made you choose 8" instead of 6"? Congrats, they are nice.

              @EastWest:

              Hi all, has anybody get and pics/ experience of SD's/ SJ's in suede/ roughout without celastic toes, so a soft toe? Rare I know and they may not work and will ask Whites about any downsides but fancy the idea for myself and stock. Cheers J.

              Took me quite a bit longer to get the pics onto the computer, and they aren't suede/roughout, but here are a couple for you.

              This is a Semi-Dress with a Swing last.  These are my go to work boots, well, as much "work" as I do, anyway.  They fit really well and are super comfortable, but if I were to do it over, I would get a celastic toe and a different last.  The Swing is super roomy in the toe, which makes them look a bit clownish.  I much prefer the look of my Viberg service boots.  But, maybe the ugly girl will win my love with her great personality.

                  Yep, moon grey bullhide.  I was a little ambivalent about it when I ordered, but I like it quite a bit now that I have the boots.

                    Yep nat. cxl - they are like "butter"  :).  Spent all day in them - still getting used to pronounced arches - but I can tell they are sized perfect.  Amazing how much they soften up and mold to your foot in just a day.  I tightened the laces 2-3 times throughout the day, and they have settled quite a bit.

                    These are 6" (not 8") and yes it's 1/4" lowered heel - they still give me quite a lift (and I'm already 6'7").  I sweated over every detail, but I'm relieved it all worked out - no regrets.  Gonna stick with the leather laces (thanks Finn) and based on Rocket's advise that they will get easier to "handle" - they are still pretty hard to get in the hooks.

                    Check out the well-worn nat. cxl belt from Hollows Leather  😘 - I expect the boots will darken up some like the belt.  Overall a very satisfying purchase!

                      I got confused on the size of the shoe because of the extra hook, most 6" bounty hunters have 3 hooks, but yours has 4. Probably because you have huge feet.

                        Good eye shiv, you're right - I see I have 4 hooks. Size is 12.5 D.

                          Good stuff, BG!  Those should look great in a few months!  And if you decide you don't like them send them my way cause we're the same size!

                              Hi Chris,

                              Much appreciate the extra effort to get the pics uploaded. Your not a town centre human statue by any chance are you? The colour combined with the laces lends itself nicely to the job 🙂 Thanks, gives me a good idea of how the toe will developer. I feel a personal order coming on.
