White's Boots

[Chris]

I have a pair of Semi-Dress without celastic toes.  I don't really like the look, but they are soft and comfortable.  I'll try to get a few pictures for you later this afternoon.

Been thinking about Nomads as well, maybe 1-2 builds from now…

Really just concerned about getting the fit perfect. Cause if you mess that up there's no tying laces tighter,etc.

[Chris]

Yeah, your only realistic option is a rebuild, which sucks if you have to do it on a pair fresh out of the box.

[SpaceGnome]

thats one of the things that keeping me away from an engineer.  I think heel slip is inevitable, but I would want to minimize that .  Too many factors go into a perfect fit, and im not certain a simple tracing would result in a perfect fit on the first shot.

WHITE's SmokeJumper R/O: no Celastic toe reinforcement

Ironically, [in my experience] the smoothest & most comfortable way to wear leather is a rough-out version__ single layer [ie, no lining, just sock between skins].  awesome 2nd skin feeling when sized right. .. & your foot literally slides in/out like it's buttered

Unconditioned_ fresh out of the box,  no Celastic toe

Dubbed w/Obenauf LP

NOW

EastWest, here is a roughout smokejumper with the soft toe posted by BrownIcon.  Personally I like it (the soft toe and the roughout). But I prefer the untreated look.

Thanks for tracking that down bluegrass, much appreciated. Agree about the pre LP colour and look, much nicer. Thanks also Chris, appreciate any pics you've got. Think one needs to be made

A lot of leather drink coasters…

Urban: Would you mind spreading these out on the table and taking some pics? They're more helpful to us all that way rather than stacked :0

Yeah I'll get around to it. I have 45 different samples so I might just do group shots of each type of leather.

[EastWest]

Hi Urb, sure you might have a few different ones and would be keen to know/ see but samples also here: http://www.eastwestapparel.co.uk/leather-samples

Check Out Baker's Facebook. I guess Billy Joel likes the Nomads.

You had me excited there for a second.

[Bluegrass]

haha, I got big foots, but these bigfoot's boots on ebay is still too big even for me….....

[zwer]

Massive. You have to go lace to toe or toe cap on the bigger sizes unless you want to look like a clown.
