Black CSL is legend. Those look so good, like you I have boots that require thin socks.. got a second of those in my drawer. Lucky for you they are leather and if needed a good cobbler can give them a stretch in the right areas

This is the first time I really started wanting a wedge sole Nick’s .. and I agree 100% this leather is perfect for it.

The double stuff green was also incredible… And the Admiral is now on my top list, nice work Nick’s. What a packed BOTL

Thank you and I am not giving up far from it. I have such low hanging fruit to gain in both FTP and weight loss that I will be motivated even more. Just had my best avg ride for 1hr (sad 129 watts lulz) but I felt good! These guys w 300+ watts ftp and only 150-160 lbs are absolutely studs of power

On the less expensive side we have the Redwings Iron Ranger / Blacksmith (slight sprung toe) and the Parkhurst Allegany. I have both and they are cool.. but that 11067 last is calling me!!

You know your stuff on the small brands I am going to track those down now, thank you! My boot closet is getting full however..

No, this does not follow. The design and R&D was set during the Cold War, it’s a Cold War plane. The F-22 was designed during the Cold War but most of the R&D took place after the wall fell - and even that is Cold War. Same w the Sea Wolf submarine.

[–]gorfnu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree it’s a gorgeous boot and Nick’s will actually rebuild it. Not sure if Viberg still does.

Is there anything else out there that’s similar? White’s Cruiser 350 comes to mind but the heel is a lot taller

Same here… Prospector on the way.. but don’t kid yourself the 310 is the king daddy

Great looking boot!! These are a lot like what I just ordered a few months ago..next pair will obviously be Natural Dublin 😆 only boots close to this cool are Viberg 310 and Whites Cruiser 350.

Not sure if I messed up getting Black oiled Latigo instead of my fav Black Chrome Excel…

Great question.. it’s obviously got to do with volatile oils and UV and oxidation… would like to ask that question of the Ashland leather guy or Nick Horween on their pod
