                  Thank you! I believe you've advocated keeping it simple and that was part of the plan here. It'll be a week until I get my hands on them [emoji16]

                    Yes, those are very clean - love the custom roller buckles, longer straps, natural edge…..

                      Maybe not the double mid tho

                        Not in keeping with the simple philosophy I agree, and they're not for everyone. I just love the look of the double mid's and the boot has more heft with them as it counteracts the sleek MP toe. Also the conditions I'll be wearing them in dictate a double sole; everything that lifts me out of mud, snow, and sleet is good stuff.

                          That's an awesome pair of boots, and they'll look even better with some wear on them! Double mid suits them, but I expect it will take a bit more to break them in fully.

                            Yeah the oil-tanned lacks character initially but was a must if they're going to be year round boots. The good thing is I can use mink oil on them. And I've seen well worn examples that look ace.

                                  Thank you! Shipped today. They'll be in my hands in a week as long as customs don't fuck me. Which they are totally going to do.

                                    Yes!  Same leather but soft toe vs. toecap and double sole vs. single. It'll be cool to compare.

                                            Thanks gents! The brown really pops the burgundy. Will be very interesting once the veg starts to patina
