Making Boots

[Chris]

They seem much better balanced now.  Overall impression is much better.  I love the yellow suede and commando sole.  Easily the coolest of the three, in my opinion, and I don't even like suede.

I think this one looks amazing:

Clean, low profile, office-work perfect!

is nice too, but I actually prefer the lower profile toe box.

nice work!

Loving these Hemi.  Wish I was coming to Wellington on my next tour but unfortunately it's only Auckland this time.

Thanks guys for all the feedback, I really appreciate it.  I'm working on a new sample right now.

I decided to stain the leather runner on the black leather boot,  I think it looks a lot better.

I also gave them a wax which I get from my mate Tony (the pig hunter) who lives in Coromandel on the east coast of New Zealand.  He makes it from natural beeswax sourced from Manuka trees in the Coromandel native forests… you could spread it on your toast if you wanted!

What do you think?

They look great, Hemi.

[joesaintjohn]

Damn it, Hemi, I love them. I want some.

[Hemi]

Thanks Joe, they won't be too far away from International release.

I haven't named any of the boots yet so I maybe I should run a contest with the winner getting a free pair of boots?

Hemi's Semi's.

Hemi's Semi's.

No need for a contest, Seul nailed it :ROFL:

[Snowy]

And agree, they're looking great now. Bet they'd look even better with non-overdyed denim too

(and I'd love to try that honey/wax :P~~~~~)

[Friday]

They sure looks good Hemi..

[Hemi]

@Seul:

Hemi's Semi's.

Classic, trust Seul!

I use to play Rugby and was lucky enough to be part of one of the best loose forward trios in my region.

6 - Hemi Pou
7 - Semi Iafeta
8 - Filo Tiatia

Semi's dad was always on sideline screaming out, "Hemi, Semi, Filo, do something!", in his fresh Samoan accent… then he would start a fight with the opposition supporters.

Apologies, not sure I explained myself very well. Looking back over your other photos you've got some nicely cuffed jeans (see below photo). The cuffing has helped accentuate the details of your fine boots. This pair of chino ducks, don't have that contrast to enable the boots to pop out.

[Hemi]

Yeah, you're right Snowy.  I'll take another photo tomorrow.

[Hemi]

Another day in paradise… I gotta go eat!

[Snowy]

Awesome, you win :).

[Down under guy]

Nice Hemi, nice cray, where's its brothers at

Peace

Put me on the list of customers when you start selling stuff, ok?
