@Daniel-San i love that leather. They look awesome.

[Daniel San]

just arrived
absolutely awesome boots , super comfortable food bed ! The leather is a little stiffer than the horween clx but I guess they’ll break in pretty fast.
Only criticism is that the are not lined with calf leather like the donkey punchers for example. Think at this price level it should be standard.
the leather looks brilliant, think it will create a stunning patina.
here a few first impressions with 555sbg

@Daniel-San nice

@Daniel-San congratulations! Enjoy and may the indigo transfer be always limited to levels acceptable to you

Love those roughouts @Daniel-San. I preordered the roughout ropers so I can probably expect the same look.

@Daniel-San looking goooooood! Patina future is on the horizon

[Daniel San]

decided to give the steelgang a little protective car before starting to wear them outside.
tried the sapphire Nappa care at a non visible point to make sure it doesn’t darken the leather to much.
choose the Nappa care because it doesn’t make the leather shiny.

after :

great result, didn’t darken the leather

@Daniel-San so glad one of us got these boots. Absolutely love the silhouette.

I really like my new olive boots. They are breaking in nicely, been wearing them for two weeks now with just the second day off due to a blister on one heel. After the first week, they became pretty soft already.

[Aetas]

They look beautiful on the beach!

Do you like the toe shape even more after the first week @tody ?

[tody]

@Aetas Yes, toebox feels good now!

My roughout Duke ropers shipped today. Way ahead of schedule too which is great. Gonna post some photos as soon as they land.

[marco23d]

@deanclean please do. damnit, they make me buy a pair. i just bought a pair of ropers that unfortunately don't fit from red wing

[Daniel San]

steel gang Friday
first day in…awesome

[FlavourFade]

These are absolutely awesome!

[deanclean]

Quick shot of the Dukes worn first time this morning.

[deanclean]

Worn for only a few hours and already some nice indigo stains/transfer. I’m really liking these. They look western but not too cowboy-ish. My wife thinks I secretly want to be a cowboy because of my western boots, shirts, cowboy hats, etc. It’s no secret, I WANT TO BE A COWBOY! but these boots are a nice in between. They have a western look but not full on cowboy. I wish the shaft was a little more narrow. I may take them to a cobbler and see what he can do. My first pair of Lofgrens and I think I made the right choice.
