Very, very nice man, a bit out of my league right now but when i start wearing holes in my 1000 miles I think i will take a close look at those service boots! Although these William Lennon boots are real value for money and top notch quality too!!

...Also I emailed them and they have chromexel in stock that they can make those out of!! Nice

The William Lennon boots in your link are an excellent value.  I wish they made half sizes, though.  A 9.5 would have been perfect, but a 10 was just a bit too large.  Even with an insole, I was never happy with the fit.  I ended up selling them, but they were some of the heaviest, most bulletproof feeling boots I've ever owned.

After putting it off for a year, I finally ordered a pair of the WL Dundas in brown today. Fingers crossed!

The William Lennon World War 1 B5 Boot is very nice and very tempting.

Hey guis, just got these badass two-tone Russell triple vamp goodness for the winter.

1 - holy shit it's morse

2 - nice, how long was the wait? been thinking of a similar makeup lately since I love the chukkas I tried on in Japan, but couldn't get into the low height. too much heel slip.

Look great Morse.

Crosspost from the Flat Head thread: SKB-70H horsehide boots. 

 

 

Expect plenty of updates on these; they'll be getting worn daily from now on.

 

Here's a pic of a pair that's been worn for two years.

As promised, more pictures of my natural cxl nomads

Almost a year old now

[fre-co]

....and my russells, see heavy weight boots contest

[ThinFinn]

those nomads...pretty damn sweet!

[morse9443]

Hey boys, been a while.. Fresco has Russells, thin finn has cordovan.. Looks like I've been missing out! What's the wait on the Russells Fresco, like 6 months? This is my 3rd pair and they've been worth the wait every time.

Not sure why I have so much trouble posting pics to this board... I had intended to post some comparison pics for White's and Viberg that I have, but when I do my link (from Snapfish) it shows as an "X".  It would be so much easier if we could upload pics directly, as other sites do. But there is no way to do that, right...?

[fre-co]

I have three pairs too. Mine too ages because of foot tracing issues but I'd rather get it right and take the time. Worth every second and every penny.

[ThinFinn]

^^ here you go tod

 

Some White's / Viberg comparison pics. I would say that Viberg clearly wins on quality and craftsmanship (check out the welt pics), but I find White's more comfortable..

Those are pretty good but the beef I have with Red Wings standard models and what tipped the Cabourn's into more desirable territory is, the soles. The regular boots have a very thin welt and midsole which I think are of too cheap a quality for a boot costing $300. If I bought them it would probably mean an immediate re-sole by someone who could beef up the materials used and then that would put the cost up into the $400+ range. Not sure I want to put that much money and work into a pair of Iron Rangers.

[ThinFinn]

had a rough day the other day...sugarcane lone wolf's were a good choice!

[morse9443]

Nice thinfinn^ but post more of the cordovans please!

 

Here are the White's I wore while working as a Arborist. Beat to hell but still wear well. I don't need a heavy work boot anymore so they're for sale on the bay.

Your 2268 has totally turned into a pair of brown boots. Very Beautiful!! 

[dylanbooth78]

X post from WAYWT thread. I know these are not fashionable in the SUFU sense of the word but I thought I would put these up on here as they are sought after in other circles! They are a pair of Altberg Bergen boots. These can be fully serviced by Altberg including re-soling so will last a lifetime.  I have heard story's of these holding up to 3 re-soling's  with hard military use!!
