      They are indeed nice but too wide unfortunately for my feet

            Those look insanely comfortable

            I have the same boot - and uggggh, for me not so comfortable at first - but they get better - initially it was like strapping boards to your feet - i.e. compared to White's there is no arch support.  But after wearing them a lot, I like them a lot.

                Blue - oh wow that's interesting.  I feel like my White's were boards with bumps for the arches at first but after some battles they've gotten just wonderful

                    There are some pics on their facebook page and also from Inspiration last year (I think).

                      Lov'em now - I have the Sage-Mohave rough out from a few years ago… nice score especially on sale, that's rare. Awhile back someone told me Urban Outfitters of all places had RWs on sale 1/2 price, online only - but I resisted.

                      Also I checked for Ace Boots on the web, found their site, but no good pics.

                        Hey Tat, I tried to find more pics online and couldn't. I feel like there was a recap of Inspiration that had a bunch of pics of their boots but couldn't find it.

                          Love the grain and all, otherwise not a huge fan of this model at least.  I like a bigger heel stack and for the outsole to protrude more…

                            the links work for me.  i agree, wouldn't be my 1st choice, puny heel - wonder what the price point is for these?  funny they are based in OC but sell in Japan - do they manufacture in OC?

                              I have assumed that they do manufacture in Cali.  It looks like Zip is buddies with them on the 'book, unsure if they get their (nice-looking) roller buckles from him or vice-versa but it wouldn't surprise me.  Indeed, I wonder if they are cobblering for him in general.  Tatman, they may have been the ones to beautify your boots.

                                  Yeah that first pair is really great.  Even the ones I'm not as big a fan of I think are very well made.

                                    The first pair is good looking. They remind me of the Santa Rosa HTC zip sells. I'm not sure about the cobblering or the buckles being in relation to him though. The buckles don't look like the different options I have pictured zip fabs… Who knows though. The cobblering looks quite a bit simpler as well on what I see however they are drastically different than what I have seen done by "zip" before so again... Who knows..

                                    ** did notice the cat paw which majes  me think they might not be related as well as I have normally seen his cobblering to he fine with bilrite with the exception ofvthe HTC Santa risa that has some super rare half soled on them

                                      Junky in Ryogoku has a pic up, but they seem to be all sold out. Explains why I didn't see them when I was there today.

                                          really nice...

                                          also similar with the RRL´s one.
                                          who is the Ace boots maker?
                                          can it be Julian?
                                          someone know more about it?
