This looks like the bump toe last to my untutored eye. Am I right?

Looks like it could be. This is the one I've been lusting after, with a few mods that is

[neph93]

Very nice. If I go burlap I'll have brown dyed soles and the #430 also. Seriously considering the harness straps though.

Do it! I think I'm gonna swap the outsole for the 700 and do a two tone with the shaft when I get to it. Of course the plan is to order through G for that sweet buckle upgrade too

[neph93]

Harness straps are going to look silly on the MP toe aren't they?

Not that bad

I saw that and agree they look badass. But that monster lug sole and the balls out top straps make it work, I think. Doing it in burlap or vegtan might be interesting but I'm not sure I'm that brave.

I've seen worse…I'm not big on harness boots though

A quick clean and a touch of LP took care of the water spots

@Chris:

The only thing I can think of is pounding that heel in to see if it brings those back together. If we sand the edges it might get rid of the gap on the midsoles.

They are glued and sewn all the way through, so they definitely won't come apart:)!

Thought I should mention that stuffing the soles with mink oil solved the split in the side. It just re-seaøed itself. I (gently) twatted the heel with a ball point hammer, also after stuffing it with mink oil, and that solved the split at the back too, amazingly well. All sorted out now and I've just given the both boots the full bee oil, bee wax treatment for good measure. Thanks for the tips, @Chris at Wesco and @Giles.

(Also…. new custom boss ordered via Giles. Very excited).

New work boots! Not sure about the false tongue in this pair

[jdl1279]

What did you settle on neph?

^^Stunning build

@jdl1279:

What did you settle on neph?

After much see-sawing (burlap vs. vegtan, #430 vs. #705, MP toe vs bump toe, lowered heel vs. standard boss heel) I settled on a similar build to my first pair, just with burlap RO, brown mids and some of that sweet triple stitching. Here it is:

• 11" boss with MP toe
• Standard heel
• Rough out burlap all over
• Brown dyed double mid's
• #430 sole
• Instep straps 1" longer
• IH custom brass hardware
• Brown lightweight triple stitching
• Khaki thread on the stitch down

Your work boots look ace. Very similar to a packer build I'm looking at. I love the toe cap, but agree it conflicts a bit with the kiltie…
