Thanks gents! The brown really pops the burgundy. Will be very interesting once the veg starts to patina

It does. It's the subtle detail that makes the build.

True, although I don't think I could live with the inevitable indigo stains. That's just me being a wus though.

[jdl1279]

Haha, I went this route for the inevitable evo. Eventually that just turns black anyhow

Yeah, I know. I really need to adjust my attitude to indigo stains on tanned leather. Don't give a fig about oil/mud/grass stains on denim. But I baby my leather… Wtf is that about? [emoji23]

[jdl1279]

Yep…everything I own gets worn for everything I do...period. Hell, these will likely be breaking in alongside my SII. So they'll see maximum transfer. Just knuckle up and realize that's what we spend the money for

[Giles]

Given mine a lot of abuse, not a lot of staining going one….

[neph93]

I need to give 100% fewer fucks with regards to this for sure.

[jdl1279]

Or you can just wear ducks all the time

Those are burlap uppers if I remember correctly?

[Giles]

They are….

[jdl1279]

Would have thought they'd take more color with that kinda abuse. I expect the veg will a bit more, once I finally get the stiff feckin uppers  broke in

[seawolf]

Yeah, no need to baby your boots. Beat the piss out of 'em!

Gorgeous boots @jdl1279 and @Giles !

[neph93]

@neph93:

They'll be in my hands in a week as long as customs don't fuck me. Which they are totally going to do.

Amazingly customs have not fucked me! The boots will be in my home town a day before I am and I'm only paying $20 more in excess taxes. I don't know what you guys wrote on the shipping pro forma at IHUK, but thank you.

I think we said that they were a pair of Crocs for poor delusional English wanker…..But I'd need to check with Matt tomorrow....

Works for me.

EDIT: and by the way, ouch [emoji15]

[Chris]

This would be so much better if they actually sent you a pair of Crocs…

@neph93 asked me to clarify the wanker bit, he asked me to use his words "a sheep shagging Welsh tosser"

All clear now?

It's all in the details. If that "English" jibe had been allowed to stand my feelings could have been irreparably hurt. [emoji25]

Ever tried to unpack a pair of Wesco's your dying to get your hands on, quietly while everyone is sleeping? Tough job, but I did it. Now to quietly introduce them to everyday life without anyone noticing. Dark Arts.

Review and fit pics to follow, but here's a serious fit question: Is a bit of pinch in the width and in-step on a brand new pair normal? Otherwise there is no heel slip and I can wiggle my toes.

[Giles]

Personally I would welcome that at the outset, like buying a pair of jeans a little snug…..
