Becks Boots

[Giles]

@SpaceGnome:

has Becks attracted much attention from the Japanese the way Viberg and White's has?

I suspect not, but probably only because they super unknown and tiny….

make'em famous G.

[Graeme]

Giles, have you picked these up yet?

[Giles]

No, unfortunately will not be ready until Nov….

[SpaceGnome]

i think this becks build is the one im most excited to see.  i need another pair of boots like i need a hole in the head/second wife/etc.  but they sure are interesting.  plus, the toe options/lasts are nice and different

[Giles]

Me too actually…

[Graeme]

Shame about the delay. I'm with SpaceGnome in being really interested in seeing how these turn out.

[Giles]

My lace-ups will be completed on Monday. Chris, sorry, I decided to get them shipped to Doug (I better tell him), so as to avoid State Tax….Photo's will have to suffice in the short term.....

The colour uppers blew me out of my seat!  Nice find Giles.  I have a lot of love for the tapered heel particularly on 1940's cowboy boots and dark demin.

[SpaceGnome]

^^thats some serious heel taper.

That said, this build is still the build I am most excited about.  Cant wait to see how they turn out.

There's a cowboy in that pic?..

Some boots Giles had shipped to my house:

[Finn666]

not my cup of tea, but they look well crafted from my pov…

^that sounds about what I do think as well….

[Giles]

Thanks Doug.  When those get beat up they will be brilliant….

[Megatron1505]

I agree, I think in a few months those will look amazing.

[riffblaster general]

love the toe

[Moonshine]

At first I didn't like the toe but over the past few hours they've grown on me, and considering G has 9,000 pairs of boots he "needs" these for a different look!  And I agree - they'll be more badass in a few months!

[Giles]

They have arrived….Thanks Doug.

First impressions....

Fit like a dream - that sizing kit is brilliant
Well built is slightly utilitarian "do-not-feck-with-me" way
Love the toe and the heel - I know not to everyones taste, but there are a load of toe/heel/leather/suede options
Yep, I am a happy bunny and at USD425 for a bespoke hand built boot, I think reasonably priced...

Oh yeah G, beautiful. Gotta love seeing future patina
