      What toe is on your model? Looks beefier than the MP and even unconstructed boss toe I normally see.

      If I'm not mistaken, that is what the Italians call a Toe de la Bump.

          They get like that when worn in I think. Any time a see a pair like this, I say to myself, "next time, bump toe". Then I stay MP anyway [emoji28]

            That is the bump toe like the others have said. It definitely gets bump ier with wear.
            I really dig the profile over the standard boss toe.

                  Is that black oiltan and the 430 outsole?

                      They look fantastic! I've been thinking about a Boss as a secondary work boot and yours is close to what I'd build

                          Thanks! They are great boots, I wish I would've had them when I was required to wear boots to work.
                          If I had to do the build again, I'd put a 430 sole on instead of the 700. It would make winter less terrifying…

                            I have the same issue with the 705. The 100 will grip anything though. So I'm interested to see where my current awaited build with the 430 lands

                                Much better than the 705/700, not as good as the 100. It does OK in ice, but compacted snow can be an issue. In collects under the sole in a way snow doesn't with the 100.

                                  Thanks for the input neph! Slip resistance is a key factor in a work boot for me. The 430 should be good for the normal wear this build will get. It does however sound like I'll be sticking to 100 for work boots

                                    I chose it as a compromise as I wanted an all year boot to get through the winters up here, without the clunky profile of the 100. It's done the job, just about.

                                      These are looking brilliant. Love the toe cap. Are wearing them for pleasure as well as business?

                                        Mostly work, but I'm not rushing to get them off when I get home and it often bleeds into personal wear

                                          I understand that. The winter can be brutal here, but I've managed with the 705 when needed. Work is the only place I can't cheat traction, but little compares to oil on sealed and finished floors
