Show us your boots

Just got these franks boots type 2 highlanders in today. They are 8 inch in whickett and craig olive harness leather with antique hardware. I went with the white x v100 sole they are supposed to be softer than the regular v100 and good in cold conditions.

just ordered a pair of Clinch engineer boots @Kentaurus , absolutely grail pieces for every boots enthusiast. Hope to receive them by end of the week and pray they fit and work with my insoles
thx to Stefan from Kentaurus
someone out there having Clinch in rotation? -
@pmadison95 Fantastic color on these - how have you liked the x v100 sole (realize it likely hasn't been too cold just yet)?
-
@inosaris Thanks I really dig the color too they are something different without being to loud. I like the v100 sole in general all my work boots use this style sole. I have noticed the white x sole is a little softer under foot. So it is slightly comfier than a normal v100 but it will probably wears faster. I have the red x sole an another pair of boots that is fire rated and the standard v100 on a couple pairs of boots. The down side is the sole tends to get rocks stuck in it. The provide great traction on uneven terrain but if they get wet and you walk on tile they don't have as good of traction. I am curious if the traction is better in wet conditions on smooth surfaces with the white x sole. As far as styling it is chunky and hard to dress up too much. It works great in rugged casual or work applications.

@Daniel-San for most of the engineer models they are in European size 41.5, the lot.444 are a 9US (42 EU)
-
@Luijim78
the shop were I got them has a pair in 9.5 left .
but I guess that’s to big ?
I have a US 10 in both, the 444 and Clinch . So sizing is similar.
if you get the chance, grab them ! Absolutely awesome boots.
you know the fedora lounge? If you want used ones , there’s the place to find . -
@Daniel-San yes I'm afraid they are too big
, I only have one pair of RW 2268 pt.99 in that size and they are really huge for me. Yes I noticed that the shape and size are very similar to lot.444. I know Fedora Lounge even if I've never spoken to them, I'll try to write to them and DC4 (just this night I bought a "Vintage Works" belt) to know if there will be a possible restocking 
. Thank you so much dear friend and congratulations again on the purchase, in my opinion they are in the top 3 of engineer boots -
@Luijim78
I asked all retailers in Europe mate , no restocks this year I’am afraid. And they didn’t deliver european dealers this year ( only the Jodhpur boots)
as they told me. They are all hoping to get a order quote for next year. -
@Daniel-San Thank you so much my friend, it's not good news
… never mind, unfortunately they are as beautiful as they are very difficult to buy -
@Luijim78
that’s true !
it was like a lottery win to find them .
they go in rotation straight away
