I will be in Spokane the second week of August to see the Engineer style and should be able to firm up when that's going to be available. As for HH, this is still up in the air; we are hoping for fall but it's possible that leather won't be available until the start of 2012.

Alden Chromexcel Longwings

got a new pair of Semi Dress tonight... totally standard, brown with leather sole. Ebay buy... went with a half size bigger and 1 bigger width...

They actually feel like they'll fit me this time. So my old pair is in the super market if anyone is interested...

[smittybat]

^ Congrats I hope they fit!

^ Congrats I hope they fit!

me too... I'll see how they break in... But no discomfort right out the box so that's a plus in my book...

Saw these at a local thrift . I don't think i'd ever seen a pair of relatively unworn or potentially NOS Florsheim Imprerials before. Was pretty jazzed until I saw they were 6.5 D.

davichan- love those Alden´s

Kyle, when you mention medaillon toe caps , is it the same as perforated toe cap? this is what i have in mind

[Megatron1505]

Just listed these for an absolute steal of a price in the market place ....

....apologies for the self promotion.

Hi SLAB,

Do you have anymore details on these? Pretty much exactly what I've been after, only managed to find them similar in Brown.

Cheers

Medallion usually means the punch design on the center of the toe, like in the tan Trickers below your post

Snapped a quick pic of my Roy boots. It's been 90-100 degrees for about a month so haven't received too much love. Braving the foot sweat today.

Nice find on those Florsheims Robbie, but too bad they aren't a very wearable size. I've only seen one other pair in that condition and they went for quite a bit.

Also wanted to give a little mini update on my custom Wescos. I've been wearing these nonstop since they came in (despite the heat) and they are looking better and better. I can't recommend Baker's enough, and they really were great to deal with for these.Picture 1246[/img] I'll have to take some shots with better lighting in the next few months, but you get the idea.

[Happy Hooligan]

awesome wescos... what are the specs on those? are they double leather on those? How about a shot on the soles....

Thanks! I tried to model them on the Narrow Wescos but with some of my own changes (I prefer a half sole, roller buckles and no toe reinforcement).

They are on the Motor Patrol last, black fire leather, Hukurokuju's solid brass roller buckles, straps + 3" in length, brown Vibram 705 half sole, brown upper stitching, no reinforcement in the toes (which makes them very comfy), and the soles are single leather midsole but they have a half slip under the half sole so it looks like double leather. And they are the 11" height.

I'll get that sole pic up for you shortly.

[rayw44]

Forgot to add that I also cut the straps to a point, I just prefer that to the rounded shape they started as.

are you riding with these? You've really worn down that sole fast if you just got these....

No, but I do walk a lot, and these have basically been the only pair I'm wearing for the last 4 months or so. They have had a few days off, but that's it.

Edit: I just checked the date on my "when new" pics and it looks like I've had them for almost 6 months.

Heads Up! I just saw these size 12 Wolverine 1000 Mile boots on Ebay with a BIN of $180. Heck of a deal for anybody in that size.

http://cgi.ebay.com/425-NEW-Wolverine-1000-Mile-Black-Leather-Boots-12-D-/330588696121

Also I've been looking for some replacement laces similar to those on the 1000 milers. Anybody seen something like those around.

[BIGBERTHA]

Finally some REAL boots!

[mikecch]

^ Looks a bit like CXL, or possibly an oil-tanned leather (need more zoom.)

[edmond]
