[madmonday]

Ah, I just figured you were holding a spot for someone.

These go live when & I got to look up the characteristics of steerhide . . . .

@madmonday:

These go live when

Is that a question?

If so, I think I may get them early April….

[madmonday]

In a convoluted monday way, yes it was a question . . . . or how about this . . . does a one legged duck swim in a circle?  you must of thought I was Seul with perfect English grammar & stuff.

April isn't sooo far off.  much better than the iwhwih response i thought was coming . . .

[Giles]

It was pretty tricky.  I had to read the first post….

[madmonday]

true, true, but it says late March on the first post . . . let me go back & make sure . . .

[natehate]

so youre getting all sizes in on these? or not so much?

[Giles]

7-12, but only "ones" of some sizes,  and a lot of people have already completed the  form.  But many people complete the form and then don't buy, so where we will end up is a complete mystery.  I have agreed with Kurt that I can order more as soon as I know where we are and what real demand is….

[natehate]

okay
that leaves me with some thinking to do

[Giles]

From the Faith blog:

The W & Anchor Bros. Work shoe Type 1 will soon be Arrival

[Giles]

Going to be mid May I am afraid.  Sorry for the delays…..

[madmonday]

these are going to be great for year round use.

just trying to see if I'm going to do a 8.5 like i do in redwings as i think an 8 would be too small & 9 too large . . .

[trail and arrow]

really looking forward to this!

[Giles]

Me too…..Kurt was super apologetic about the delay~~, I said it did matter in the least as long as he finished my fixie on time,~~ when I was with him in Tokyo…....

[Friday]

was thinking about this as well… Its either this or the Viberg..

[Giles]

We are definitely getting closer…..

[madmonday]

do they use a bonwelt on these?  the shoe reminds me of the RedWing Forman shoe, but this steerhide is just a sexy looking piece of leather & better than anything i've seen redwing use for their shoe.

i can not wait to get my pair, now to figure if 8.5 will work for me. . . .

[mclaincausey]

No, that's a Goodyear welt

[madmonday]

From the images of WandA  pre-assembled I'm not so sure. I'm luck enough where it has never been an issue for any of my shoes/boots (aty least that i know of).

Watching this space . . .

Full Goodyear welt…...
