      Continuation from my previous post and the dying process of my Armageddon boots is complete.
      Cheers to @Megatron1505 and @nicecrackaction.

      @NorthernVictory : Midsole - Single, Double, or Triple? The thicker the midsole the greater the protection (stepping on a nail) and for their supposed added durability. There's also an aesthetic element, as some people think a taller boot should have a thicker midsole. There is also the added height provided by the additional midsole. Finally, the Japanese market often want the thickest midsole available and when Mega acquired these particular boots I understand he was into the Japanese look.

            Ok folks. Yay or nay on the kilties?  I'm thinking they look a little posery.

                I'd go without the Kilties.. Or you could trim the fronts have a straight edge close to the first eyelets..

                      i feel like the kilties make the boot look strangely small.  like they throw the proportions off.  i can't quite explain it.

                      i mean on my pair of course…. they actually look awesome on yours den1mhead

                          Also agree on no kilties.  I think the fact that your sole isn't lugged makes the boot look less lumberjack-ish.  The big thing for me is the contrast between the color and texture of the two leathers.  If the kilties were the same leather as the boots I think they would look really good.  But regardless those boots look really clean without the kilties.

                            Upon reflection I have worn kilties with my IHVB-03CT but now I wear them without and much prefer the cleaner look.
                            However, I love my IH kilties with my Whites SJ's

                                  Apart from this, that I dislike kilties  (they look stupid & ugly in my eyes  😶  - but that's my opinion  😃 )
                                  The shape of the boot looks a lot cleaner and smarter without this 'rags'.

                                      If you do go with the false tongues, at least make sure to flip them over to the rough out side so that they match the leather of the boot.
