@Nomad - how did you clean up the (white?) stitching on your boots?

I have a pair of Nicks boots where the white stitching has turned black through polishing and I loved the contrast when the stitching was white . . .

Went to a bootmaker in Vienna this morning to order a pair of custom boots…more to see in about three months...

Well all the necessary ingredients certainly seem to be in place for something quite special @Chap

Green shell cordovan, Norwegian welt, GAH speed hooks?
Oh, those are going to be very nice.

The Wiener/Budapester Style is just splendid, the Wholecut (?) looks faboulos, will the Boots be Zwiegenäht ?

Don’t even wanna know what those set you back. Shark is so cool (even though I could never pull it off).

[Chris]

I love shark.  Too bad it's getting harder and harder to get decent quality hides.

Wesco “100th Anniversary”

[mikebarhoot]

^that there is a nice boot!

[mikebarhoot]

More sole pics please. Whats the “purpose” of that type. If not for aesthetics?

[goosehd]

The sole is a super comfortable rubber.  The boots were a special offer/order from a couple of months ago and I think that they are my seventh pair of custom Wesco’s.

[mikebarhoot]

Thanks.

Boots will be made bei the Maftei Family, first step will be now making a individual wooden last matching my feet and then  a try-on boot made of cheap leather offcut. I will have to come to the shop they'll check the fit, if it's fine they start with the ordered boot. Will be something like Giles Kanreki boot but with a traditional Austrian welt "zwiegenaeht". Everything will be made by hand in the traditional way…

Sounds like a great Plan @Chap , the work of Maftei I saw to date looked very good and Zwiegenäht is the way to go, exited to see the Result.
