- Rough-Out Boot - Burlap. The "Foot Patrol":@hgering27 I'd probably go with the E on this one. More similar in fit in the toe area to the MrLou and less roomy than a Boss
I'm way late replying, forgive me. Good to know. I assumed they'd be the same.
How's the toe box on these? Same as the Guildsman (fka The Alex)? Is there any structure to the toe box? I ask becuase intend them for smart casual wear and I'd like the toe to hold its shape, to a degree.
-
@Bobcat-Sig Yeh, similar toe profile to the Guildsman and the tow will hold its shape - i'd say almost ideal for smart casual or daily office wear

@Ross Much appreciated! Thank you.

How are you fellas (and ladies?) treating these boots?
I know they aren't suede, but roughout, instead. My thought woudl be to treat them with some sort of boot/suede-specific even if there's a small risk of the leather darkening a slight bit. I know both Obenauf and Bick offer a product.
What do you recommend to keep the boots looking sharp?
-
@Bobcat-Sig I know there's a few different products around, but honestly when it comes to rough-out i personally think all you need is a stiff bristle brush to scrub the dirt off every so often and that's about it...one of rough-out's big advantages is easy maintenance
-
Last question (probably?) what should I expect as US buyer now that these boots have exceeded the $800 USD de minimus threshold for import duties? What should I expect to pay and what's the process for receiving such an item when import tax is due?
Have my fellow US-based IH buyers gone through this?
I appreciate the help
