great simple build.
funny how things are sometimes so much better without all the bells and whistles.
-
13+ weeks to get em but hot damn I like em. Didn't realize it was going to be like walking on wooden planks at first… but can't wait to tame these beasts
(They're not this red, will try and take better pics later just snapped a couple before work)
Also, should I go kiltie or no kiltie?!?

They look really clean, agree.

I say no kiltie. Unless you are on the farm, no reason to pretend you are.

No kiltie. Just looks cleaner and better that way.

No kiltie.

Option 2 definitely.

Option 2 was my first choice, but MaxPower did come up with the idea of a 8" boot, and I started to like the commando sole:
(the picture shows option 1, just with a single midsole)
-
I really like those. Probably what I would choose for my own build.

Spent my afternoon to read the whole thread. So many options, so many great options, the world of custom boots is really amazing

Those look awesome! What's the full spec list on them?

Thanks man! Always nice to hear, especially from such a boot aficionado! Just starting to work them in (the hot weather has limited wearing opportunities, but my ankles have been spared a bit at the same time)
Baker's Custom Bounty Hunter by White's Boots
Counter Leather Red Dog Oiled, Celastic Toe Box Single Celastic Toe, Height 6", Midsole Single, Heel Base 90 Degree Blocked off Heel (Traveler), Last Semi Dress (Bounty Hunter), Steel Toe No Thanks, Upper (Shaft) Leather Red Dog Oiled, Toe Cap No Thanks, Toe Vamp Leather Red Dog Oiled, Top Rolled Top, Hardware Brass Eyes & Hooks, Leather Liner Red, Pull Loops Leather Pull Loops, Size - Width E, Lace Design Lace to Toe, Sole Vibram 700, Edge Natural, Heel Lifts Standard, Size - Length 10Honestly, not sure if it ended up being a regular or close trim - as they were having a hard time with the sole because of the E width and said they were going to change it but you can make out a double switch.
Will try and find my camera for some more detailed pics.

Happy for you Tiger, finally got your boots after such a long wait… Hard to tell but it "looks like" regular trim (double stitched). Love the red dog. I'm not usually a fan of false tongues but depends on the boot - I kind of like it with some lace-to-toe builds. You should post some pics with both.

I like Option 2… unless you need it for work, 8" is just extra weight - and lowered heel combined with double sole sounds risky - it might work, but why take a chance with $500 boots that take 2-3 months to build? Option 2 is a no-brainer imo. plenty good for shit-kicking esp. with the double sole.
