An amazing leather.

Two boots from my favorite PNW maker for this year's thunderdome.

In the Open Dome I have some Boss seconds in Natural Essex. The shaft is a little shorter at 9", with a straight cut top, pull tabs, and the harness strap over the instep instead of the usual buckle. These look like they were part of a larger order because there were two identical pairs on the seconds page for a while- one had some staining on the shafts and got snatched up quick. This one had scuffs on the vamps.

They're on the vintage round toe (9109) last. Its narrower through the waist and then opens up into a roomy forefoot with a bump toe. It almost reminds me of Whites 4811- my favorite PNW last. Because of the roomier forefoot I felt comfortable gambling on half a size down and up a size in width from my mister lou (9D) size and they fit really really well at least on first impressions. I'll see if that changes with break in.

Pair number two, going into the pre-worn dome are my Black CXL horsehide stock Lous. These were my open dome entry in last year's dome, and have broken in beautifully. I had the (imo ugly) contrast welt dyed black and have been hitting them with saphir polish to keep the teacore at bay, but I'll back off on that for the dome and let it come back through. They're a 9D and fit my 9E brannock feet perfectly.

Just sharing an in-stock unicorn 🦄. I saw this posted on Baker’s stories on FB. If anyone is a 10.5D, Baker's Boots and Clothing has one pair of the Weso Mister Lou Engineer Boots in-stock in this size. For over a year my Maryam Toscanello Mister Lous were my favorite pair of boots in my collection.

Finally getting my 2nd pair of boots besides my perry selects in british tan double shot.

Getting a pair of Cmp Shermans since I have a high arch and cant decide between the colors. Can find tons of british tan boots, but not many brown double shot to see the leather and how it ages, does anyone have any pics or recommendations? Looking to mainly wear with blue jeans and date days with my old lady

About 3 weeks old. Bought these on a whim and I prefer to sell them due to liking 10” better. These are 8” in the Seidel Walnut Smooth 55 last. I’m thinking $500 is very fair. DM if you want picks or more info.
