I'd go for the 1000 Miles.  Never liked the moc toe stitching on the Indy.

Which black Indy/which sole?
Calf? Shell? Chromexcel?
Commando? Leather?

I have the Indy in a black aniline calf with commando sole and really like them. But they look a little dressy for jeans. I wear them with chinos. They have a little sheen to them.

I think the black chromexcel would be a better choice with denim. With contrast stitching.

Mine:

+1 it's a close choice but the 1k mile is significantly less expensive (tie breaker)

after wearing the McNairys for one weeks straight - highly recommend them for a summer boot. super light weight,
excellent construction and super comfy

[Seul]

Why aren't you wearing the OSBs?..

Was it established which brand and model these are?.. So beautiful…

[madmonday]

they look like a well made boot, but i don't like them at all.

what's going on with all this green???

[Geo]

Definitely put mcnairys on a par with grenson but with a better style aesthetic

[Seul]

Greens are good for ya, Mistah Superblack.

Leprechaun steez is the next big thing after workwear.

I, too, am curious as to their maker.  I hope for diff colors, though.

Better quality these days, too.  Newer Grensons not made in the UK, friends have had some QC issues unfortunately.

Can't wait for the McNairy "Fuck Off" collection to come out.

[Seul]

Can't wait for the new collection of U.K. made Grensons!..

Things have changed some (for the better) on the grenson front ever since Tim Little took over a little while ago

A lot more being made in Northamptonshire again - where pretty much every other English shoemaker  hails from - and where mcnairy has many of his designs made

[nameness]

From the ints I've read with Mr. Little I'm very impressed & hopeful.  I would love to get a pair of shoes from his line but every time I look at the models I'm not really struck by anything.

[Seul]

SuperBlackLechraun… 

Geo: do you have an idea which ones are UK made and which aren't?..

nameness: I e-mailed them when the e-store opened and asked them, and they told me there were gonna be more UK made shoes... Apparently that is already happening. It's weird that they're not stressing that out in the product detail (of course, this means saying your other shoes are made in India, but still).

@nameness:

dude.

oh that looks like my uncle albert on my pops side of the family.  how'd you get his picture, hahahaha

[nameness]

monday - you're on the watch list.  but you know that.  and you know why.

Seul - that's good.  i like Grensons from what I've been exposed to.  bought & returned a pair some time ago because i wasn't too impressed with some….  QC issues.

Beautiful quality - long lean lines - modern in a conservative way

I have a handful of shoes and boots
