HEAVYWEIGHT BOOTS CHAMPIONSHIP 2013 - 2015
-
Well, first week in these are done. So far I've worn them every day, including 20 hours on day two. They've suffered through my daily walks to and from work (30 minutes each day), a show at the legendary Horseshoe Tavern, an epic collapse by my favourite hockey team, rain, a coat of dubbin, a bunch of beer and more to come…
Surprisingly, they've barely started to crease and for some reason have started to rub on my left ankle.

HWB-01 - Whites Bounty Hunter - Dress and Rough Out Leather
-
After about a month of wear I have come to realize that I should of bought boots years ago…
I was a little scared to wear them at work because I wasn't sure how the sole was going to slide on grass but it does ok and they actually make being on my knees easier so its been a good overall transition.

the standard heel shape would have made them perfect!
Exact opposite, Andi! Look so good without the old man Cuban cowboy heel. Unless you're ridin horses of course.

No apology needed, and your boots look great.
Urb, you need style to make the cuban heel work, I can see why you're not a fan

I've mostly been posting on superfuture, I need to get more active here. Here's a few shots of mine HWB-03, from new until now. I've worn them everyday for about a month, two conditionings, and a light polish with kiwi neutral. They've taken on an unintentional two tone look, that I can't explain. (But I like it.) They get shoe trees, and a solid brushing every night. They are my favorite, most comfortable boot ever. The double mid soles add a lot to the comfort and support. I've averaged 12-14 hours of wear each day. I'm going to Atlanta, and will be on my feet walking a show hall for 3 days. I'm not even worried about my feet hurting.
They even got a bit bloody at an accident scene(I wrote about it as my "denim angel" challenge entry on superfuture, pic is from the local paper…I'm in the green t-shirt...I stopped by the victim's workplace to see if I could find out how he was doing(I hope he kept his left foot, as it was partially amputated in the crash)
How they are as of last night's polish and brushing:
-
High voltage, nice looking boots! I have the same exact two tone thing going on with my Whites. The medallion toe caps on my Britsh Tan Semi-Dress boots are much darker than the rest of the boot. Doesn't look bad to me either, but it does make wonder why the difference???

Fuck need to get on this ASAP. I'm a slacker
