      Interesting.  Cowboy boot makers crimp the vamps exactly the same way, but I've never seen a pair with toe tracks.

        My RCs don't have them but I do like them.

        Think it, be it.

          Tracks on mine are very faint… more pronounced on left boot.  Maybe it's not even toe tracks?  Nothing like on Bucos.

            ^^ yeah I've got tracks on my road champs too. It's subtle compared to bucos, but definitely there. Same on my ace engineers.

                    When I worked on vintage Chippewa & Sears engineer boots I always thought it was COOL how they put a small double capped rivet to keep the buckle in place. This little guy will age well with the brass roller buckle.
