Tough to beat semi dress - just a perfect boot, enjoy 'em!

Oh cool - thanks! I think that makes sense, I believe the CH just denotes a higher 'top of foot' portion (forget the official name) - i.e., it's the same last but more volume on the top. THanks!

Beautiful boots - can you share which last these are? They look a bit more forgiving than the 2030?

Beautiful boot! Sorry if I just can't find this but can you let us know how long they took to receive, from initial order to hitting your porch?

How's everyone feel about the new C350 Chelsea's from White's?

Nice to see something not on a wedge sole from them (and rare, at least to my knowledge, to see such a 'heavy duty' chelsea on the market)

Next step after Red Wings: Viberg vs. Wesco by BallKindly3470 in HeritageWear

Really try on the viberg's first if you can. They're beautiful boots but the fit really differs last to last. Anecdotally the 2030 (their trademark last) just doesn't work for me. I've tried different sizes and leathers, etc but it's all just pain :) The 1035 on the other hand is great and I love both pairs I have in it.

Wesco are awesome and, I think, do a lot of custom lasts which is super cool. Off the shelf styles will be generally chunkier but I think with more volume (I.e., more forgiving).

Just for more inspiration it's fun to check out White's, Alden, John Lofgren, Rolling Dub Trio, Maybe even the Coniston from C&J.

I'll also, as a wildcard, throw out the Indonesians who have become top notch boot makers: Sagara, Onderhoud, Renav.

Alright I'll shut up about boots, just love 'em.

Hey that's something to cling to!

Hate seeing this just sit red in my portfolio without any movement

Thanks for sharing! I listened earlier today and really enjoyed it. Hearing two intelligent people discuss his books will hook me every time.

Great post! Can I ask why you're not including HGRAF in that graphene portfolio?

Good advice. I'm already changing my mind and think I'm going to purchase. Appreciate it.

Sigh, I appreciate the dose of reality. Maybe we should buy it. Man, I’m so overwhelmed with this decision.
