White’s Semi Dress w Traveler heel in Brown Dress leather. I’ve had them about a year and a half, they get very regular use.
Is the Traveller heel lower than the standard heel? Those look fantastic!White’s Semi Dress w Traveler heel in Brown Dress leather. I’ve had them about a year and a half, they get very regular use.

@dannyk here’s a shot of the first pair of Mocs from your Uncle:

Without a doubt the nicest house slippers I have ever owned, although that name doesn’t do them justice. @Monitor you should definitely buy yourself a pair (or two).
Yeah didn’t think about that for you. Maybe if the world ever returns to any sort of normalcy it will work out. Or if there’s some way I could proxy for cheaper we could investigate that route. I really think the members here would love them though. Super thick and beefy vegetable tanned Buffalo, elk and deer though of course elk and deer are not quite as thick as the Buffalo. I wear them around the house and outside. Since I own 4 pairs I don’t really keep up on cleaning them or conditioning/waterproofing them. Except my original chocolate elk pair. They’ve gotten sno-seal and recently Huberds shoe grease with the blow-dryer method. The stitching is spot on and beefy as hell. If he has actual sinew available he uses that, if not he uses a synthetic sinew. Every step but one is done by hand. If you opt for the rubber cement and tire tread bottoms he uses an electric sander to buff and scratch the bottom leather so the tire and cement bond better. I’ve watched him do it before. He’s old school a beer in hand and a hand rolled cig hanging out his mouth haha.I would for sure, would get rid of sneaker need altogether but the importing, the shipping, etc. just ruin every deal lately. It's all gone so high up... I can't even get those leather pants from another member how high the shipping is, and I love 'em. It's instant 50% of the price up.
It's on the MP95 last, same as the Foot Patrol. I would do the custom route but when I sent in my measurements, I was getting sizing all over the place so I think you need to get measured in person for that. Since it's waxed flesh (basically chromexcel inside out) I figure I can stretch it a little bit if needed.I normally drop a 1/2 size in Wesco so you should be ok however I have no idea what last the Boondocker is on. I only went up in width for the MP last which is on the narrow side and the Job master last fit as a regular width.

I am considering a boot through Flame Panda, I found some nice nordic elk leather he's willing to use.

Both are super nice, but the Cubano...wow!
