      @Karol the process is also used in some horse leathers (like in the new Mr Lou for example) and I also completely agree with the description, unlike the vegetable tanned horse leather (with some exceptions... for example Shinki...) the Horsehide leather belted with Cromo immediately appears softer and plumper, the pull-up effect is wonderful, it seems that the natural color of the skin appears with the simple touch. Only it is certainly less shiny and shiny than the vegetable tit.IMG_9150.jpeg IMG_9159.jpeg IMG_9149.jpeg IMG_9191.jpeg IMG_9190.jpeg

                  Yo!! @Mizmazzle maybe a year. Bought 2 pairs of the natty CXL on the second hand market. 8.5 and 9. These are the 9’s. Actually a shade too big, but can be mitigated with thick socks and or a leather insert.
                  Both pairs had perfect patina when I received them, and the leather was pristine. Just a testament to the material and build quality. And man you can go MILES in these. Despite being pretty heavy, they are easily the most comfortable laced boot I own.

                    @Autorotate hell yeah. These are on my Xmas wish list. If Santa doesn’t bring them then I’ll be buying myself a gift before the start of the new year haha.

                        More clinch engineers, these ones are black overdyed latigo, cn last, lowered heel, partially structured toe. I really like that these ones haven’t given up any of the overdye after about 3 years of regular wear.. It seems to me a lot of tea core leathers fade much faster than these have done.

                          @Autorotate , thanks for the compliment, yes , I've always like the overall profile of the IR but the sole just seems to be kinda lacking something.And I've always like a complete stack leather mid and heel ,even my whites boots I've also got brass of tokyo to remove and resole it

                            @VoodooRay they are wonderful 👏👏👏… yes it probably depends on the Latin tanning with double process. I wanted to get a pair of Buco with the same leather. Congratulations indeed 👏

                              @Luijim78 Thanks! I feel like there's a dull peachy hue sitting underneath the black when the sunlight shines on them. I'm hoping that they stay relatively black and that when they do start to give up some of the overdye the tea core effect will be a more subtle than it is on other overdyed boots that I have.

                                  Still early days, only 12-13 days of wear but I can’t recall more comfortable boots than those.

                                    @Cskarev those look great, love the crocking starting to show up. I’m a huge fan of that kind of character suede/roughout gets. Will just keep getting better and better.
