@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…

Thanks adam!

Neph I think I'm gonna keep them in since they'll likely hold up better. Your build is similar to my next…I even want that stitching lol

Given that they're a work boot that is definitely a good idea. It all looks natural when they break in anyway.

Ha… great minds and all. Good thing we're on different sides of the Atlantic

Scored these from Wesco's seconds section.
Very similar to the Division Road Packrider except the soles.
This thick arse veg tan leather has already let itself be known as tough breaker inner (as compared to my brown domain rough outs)

[jdl1279]

The veg softens up quite a bit but you're gonna be creaking in them for a couple months

Damn, they look fantastic!

Mid-winter treatment complete. Surprisingly little salt scarring, but probably should have done a vinegar wash beforehand as I noticed a little where the leather meets the midsole. I have had them since July and they get worn about 3-4 days per week.

Minor salt scarring:

The hammered and healed, err, heel.

Indeed! They're going to age beautifully!

Cheers! @Max Power and @Dion

Must be the little kid in me, but that creaking sound is addicting @jdl1279

Those engineers look really good @neph93
It's nice to know that minor sole repair is doable–thanks for posting pics too

Ha! I love the leather, just takes some commitment. Enjoy them

[jdl1279]

It's been a rough break in thus far. A couple minor spots rubbing and pushing into my foot as the boot flexes. I can tell they are slowly giving but I can feel every bit of the 20 hours I've been on my feet in them

[jdl1279]

After about 40 hours in them, the Warren's have broke in to become the most comfortable boot I own…even over my Jobmaster. Highly recommend the build, I know another pair is in my future at some point.

For now, my 3rd build has been ordered thanks to G.

how much will the veg tan darken over time?

and what are yall's thoughts on two lifts lower on the heel of a boss?

anyone have any example pics of this?
