Show us your boots

@Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot Congratulations! Have mine for a few weeks now, and only excessive indigo transfer keeps me from wearing them daily. Super comfortable, and finally a last that is wide enough for my feet. I could probably get away with half a size down though, but super happy otherwise. Only issue I have is that the rough underside of the uppermost three metal hook eyelets are leaving marks on the gussett/tongue and have rubbed through the stitching on one side. Tried to sand them smooth a bit, and now taped some duck-tape on. Perhaps something that resolves itself without an issue, but a tiny bit irritating given the price of the boots.
Enjoy! -
@Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot oh wow! those things look amazing! Like a piece of art

@Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot
awesome boots
congratulations
I have the burgundy ones
definitely one of the best boots ever -
Cheers, gents! I kind of always overlooked punchers because I didn’t think I was a kiltie guy, but I actually like it. Again, I’m walking on clouds in these things, so very comfy…
@Tobi I’m just starting on a pair of 21’s, and was worried about that excessive transfer. Gave them a quick spray with this stuff, with more around where the cuffs will rub. Will see how it goes
-
@Tobi @Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot couldn't agree more on comfort. I thought the M-43 and the Munson last was IT but these 120 lasts are just incredible.
-
@Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot worth a try. Mine look like this, with perhaps max 10 days with some well worn blue jeans, otherwise black non fade or duck.
I don't want to keep them pristine, but avoid the extremes of indigo transfer

love those laces
-
@Tobi the well worn photos of these are what sold me, so I’m also not looking for pristine. Also not looking for blue suede shoes
-
And, yes, those laces are champ!

@popvulture yeah they’re super nice & the mid height is a fun change up. I thought the steel toe cap would be tricky but that turned out to be kinda fun too. My only qualm might be the mid cut height has been brutal on my ankles, but it seems to be lessening with wear.
-
Ha yeah the taps definitely throw me off a little. Mine really only really clack on stuff like 10% of the time, but when they do I usually get startled
-
@Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot I really love these! Man, I need to move out of my comfort zone and try DP boots one day. Congrats on a beauty.
These from Lost and Found? Did you get the same size as your M43s?
-
@stichdown-shell thanks, dude! I snagged these from Brooklyn in Calgary - same size as my M-43’s and Ludlows. The Ludlows use the same 120 last, but they definitely weren’t this comfortable right from the off. The M-43’s were the only ones I got to try on in person before purchase, which is kinda nuts when I think about it…. Very pleased I sprung for these Punchers
-
@Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot Thanks, man. I'm going to do some research on them. It's the same last as my other JLB Combats, so I know what size will fit.
But I need to slow down my spending habits, especially my boots. Wish me luck.
Man, these are sweet!
