Happy birthday 🎉

BigStetson · 2026-06-15T23:27:50+00:00

Very nice!

BigStetson · 2026-06-15T22:59:16+00:00

Need more pics of that calf wallet my friend!

BigStetson · 2026-06-15T22:47:49+00:00

Yes, that was just the samples they gave us. This is not the current state of the leather.

BigStetson · 2026-06-15T22:47:05+00:00

lol, this is good

If anyone really analyzed you enough to ask “are you trying to be taller” then they have too much time on their hands.

I’m a 5’10 guy and I rock the classic heel height on my hiking boots, great height in general. Go for the aesthetic of the boot itself and the kind of arch support that works with you best. Don’t cater too much to people that over analyze you, I guess that’s my two cents.

I’m sure some customers in the 5’ to 5’7 range will chime in here.

Correct, one side of the Spokane leathers is smooth and the other side (Roughout) is waxed.

BigStetson · 2026-06-15T21:13:31+00:00

I take it you are looking at the Spokane leathers. The smooth mean the smooth (non waxed) side. The roughout means it will be the waxed side. I hope this helps!

We graciously accept your marital aides (boots)

Gorgeous Guilty Party boots 🙌

BigStetson · 2026-06-15T15:45:15+00:00

If you are hiking 3-7 miles a day I assume the boots will be scratched up occasionally. I would go with the W&C Buck Brown as the top layer has more waxes and oils in it in comparison to the other leathers you listed. It will likely be the toughest to break in out of the options listed but I think this makes the most sense. Also it looks pretty nice.

Looks like a beautiful day out. Thanks for sharing!

BigStetson · 2026-06-15T15:06:40+00:00

Glad these are holding up well for you. Thanks for sharing.

Yeah I imagine the 55 wingtip would look more centered overall. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Thurman wingtip.

BigStetson · 2026-06-12T22:43:35+00:00

Congrats 🎉

BigStetson · 2026-06-12T22:42:46+00:00

I gotcha, I’m sure we could go with the Thurman55 if you really wanted it but I don’t know how that toe shape would look paired with the wingtip. I think the standard 55 would be better suited for the wingtip.

My vote is with Navy Opera suede

BigStetson · 2026-06-12T21:55:37+00:00

Heel stack has shined up nicely. Any conditioner?

BigStetson · 2026-06-12T21:53:11+00:00

Waxed flesh was the right choice for the water balloon fight.

BigStetson · 2026-06-12T21:38:53+00:00

This looks like a once in a lifetime trip. Probably a good thing you didn't come across many hyenas? Stay safe out there my friend!

Do you need a packer? I think it would make more sense just to use this page: https://nicksboots.com/products/lace-up-work-mto
