What do you think of the goodyear welt Bluegrass? Can you compare to regular stitchdown Vibergs?

^ Very nice! Are those Colour 8 CXL @derivative666? I picked up a very similar pair only this evening from Benny's Store in HK. Absolutely love them and I never thought the 2030 last would work for my feet. Will get photos up soon.

Yes colour 8 CXL I love the 2030 last as long as it has an unstructured toe box

As you can see, these are single stitched, with a very elegant toe shape and close trim - and the cap toe.  I also have the boondockers (2045) and the Engineers (2005) which are double stitched - the boondockers have more of a work boot look.  The service boots (which I presume is the goodyear welt - it says "natural flat welt") are very dressy, which is exactly what I was looking for - something I could wear to work and no one would notice or think I was trying to pull off something trendy.  These boots are as nice as any dress shoes I have - very classic look - I could not be happier.

The boondockers look great - i need to wear mine more…..

Thanks for the compliments guys. I'm pretty pleased with how the Boondockers have broken in. They've basically been rotated with my Indy boots since I got them so there's a fair few miles on them. Tempted to wear the leather sole right down to pulp before getting a raw cord replacement.
