      This looks like the bump toe last to my untutored eye. Am I right?

        Looks like it could be. This is the one I've been lusting after, with a few mods that is

          Very nice. If I go burlap I'll have brown dyed soles and the #430 also. Seriously considering the harness straps though.

            Do it! I think I'm gonna swap the outsole for the 700 and do a two tone with the shaft when I get to it. Of course the plan is to order through G for that sweet buckle upgrade too

              Harness straps are going to look silly on the MP toe aren't they?

                  I saw that and agree they look badass. But that monster lug sole and the balls out top straps make it work, I think. Doing it in burlap or vegtan might be interesting but I'm not sure I'm that brave.

                                    @Chris:

                                    The only thing I can think of is pounding that heel in to see if it brings those back together. If we sand the edges it might get rid of the gap on the midsoles.

                                    They are glued and sewn all the way through, so they definitely won't come apart:)!

                                    Thought I should mention that stuffing the soles with mink oil solved the split in the side. It just re-seaøed itself. I (gently) twatted the heel with a ball point hammer, also after stuffing it with mink oil, and that solved the split at the back too, amazingly well. All sorted out now and I've just given the both boots the full bee oil, bee wax treatment for good measure. Thanks for the tips, @Chris at Wesco and @Giles.

                                    (Also…. new custom boss ordered via Giles. Very excited).
