Are those red-brown Frye's in the front the "Brando" boots? If so, what's your opinion of them, as far as comfort, durability, etc? I've been considering getting a pair. Love that color. I don't actually own a motorcycle, so not having the steel-toe isn't that much of an issue for me.
Daniel Hunter,
Did you receive your Rogan's yet? I actually got to try some of those on the other day-- super comfortable. They were the beat-up, pre-distressed leather though. They looked authentic, but I would just rather add the wear myself, you know?
What is the leather like on yours-- does it have a bit of shine to it, or are they more matte? The pictures I've seen of brown Rogans all look totally different.
The new Red Wing 2991 looks pretty good:

I've been wearing my Fryes off and on now for a couple of weeks. They're not the heavily distressed model just oiled leather. The leather is alot softer than I expected it to be and they seem to be more of a "fashion boot" than true protective footwear with an attitude. I still like my boots but I'm thinking of ordering a pair of Chippewa 27911's.
