qft! super badass boots right there mate…

[spitfiredealer]

Well they are kinda but made just for him

had the arrows put on them for him.

Apparently:
The significance of the broad arrow is actually a symbol which was used by the British military; it could be found on various military items like boxes and guns, to helmuts and boots.

lol the arrows are kinda funny…is there a reason why the military etc. used to put arrows on everything? never heard off it...

and if those are made from olive nubuck, then I think I'm gonna love my new boots

[spitfiredealer]

It is also known as the Pusser's (from Purser) Mark.  It was used by the Royal Navy to identify things that belonged to them and hence the Purser could identify stuff that was stolen from him.  Our house was built by the Royal Navy in 1830.  There are Pusser's Marks all over the place.  All of the individual hinges are stamped with it, even some individual bricks and flagstones.  Here is the pavement outside our house….

I will look for more tonight….

Thinking this could be my next build.

I would love these too. Anyone got an idea how much they'd be?

[toddjcoley]

Under 700 around the 650 mark I think

[bertoni]

Hey Todd, thanks for the reply. Is that price in US dollars? CAD? Euros?
Thanks in advance!

Oh yeah, forgot to ask, is the rough-out water resistant/proof? I've got so many beige suede boots and am always a bit worried about getting them wet. Need me some truly weatherproof footwear this time round.

I'd like a pair of these too, but in another leather.  Can made to order thru Viberg be done without a group order?
