      @theofficialhung I don’t know if I can help you on that question.  Since my boots are lined, there isn’t really any flop.

      Maybe someone else can chime in on that one.

          @theofficialhung:

          If you or anyone on this forum can confirm what I'm saying is true, I will probably change my order to a 9" boot instead. Thanks.

          I believe the charcoal leather is relatively light, no? I have two pairs (soon to be three)? In the heaviest oil tanned leather. That doesn’t sag as much or as quickly as lighter leather.

          I also have three unlined Wesco pull on’s at 11”, 10” and 8”, all in lighter leather (two burlap’s and the brown domain). The shafts on all of them have been well broken in, are soft, floppy and creased, and they have all dropped an inch or so. The 10” pair are Morrison’s and have dropped less because the shaft is thinner and fits closer. I don’t strap up at the top so the 11” has sagged as much as the 8”.

          I’ve never had an issue getting any of them under smaller hem jeans despite them not having the Mr. Lou style narrow shaft. That being said I take larger size jeans and have them hemmed to around 32”, so I have more room to work with than on small size, unhemmed jeans.

            My new custom build arrived a couple of weeks ago! Custom Hendrik, fit like a glove

            Adam, do you have the build details for these? They look great! Might want to do the same thing but with a raptor sole.

                Lovely boot @Andreas1965 . Is that the standard oil-tanned brown rough out? I ask because I have a pair of Boss in that that should arrive tomorrow or Monday. I love the colour of yours.

                  Hi, they feel like the standard oil tanned. I have a pair of those and the leather seems identical.

                    Awesome. I keep on seeing photo’s of the oil tan and noticing it being lighter than it used to be. It is why I chose it for my next pair. I’ll know myself within a few days, but I have a childlike excitement every time I’m waiting on a new pair.

                      I feel your pain. Dropped off a pair for a resole yesterday, cobbler told me it'll take 4 weeks. Now, on day one, I'm already impatient. I mean, I'm not walking around barefooted, but still…[emoji1782]

                                    They've been about 12 months in gestastion, while I ironed out all the details in my head (and the boot builder application), then the wait for them to get made and arrive came on top of this. So in other words, more effort and time than it takes to make babies  😃

                                    Joking aside, I am really looking forward to putting them into action.

                                          Correct. I have a similar build in the black oil tan that are lined, and while I do like that a lot, unlined makes these more of a year round boot. The lining surely makes them warmer, and the oil tanned leather in plenty thick already.
