Footwear to go with our jackets

[Jin431]

There is a new player from China. Tea core flat toe using oiled leather with a waxy finish. Base on vintage 40s shoe last. Posted more photos in the Engineer boots thread next door. View attachment 389668 View attachment 389669

Just received photo of the finished cloe superlux Sagara Cordmaster from Bagus. Can't wait to wear them!

These Frye’s are everything I want in a boot. I love the square toe, and the lack of straps makes them a great cross-over. They might even be made of CXL...

Wanted to see how they turn out first. May be the next batch. The manufacturer seems to have some ideas and may make some adjustments.

Well my obsession with perfectly sanded heels has taken a turn for the worse. I have a table top belt sander on its way to me. Gonna try this out for myself. I wish whites would spend some TLC on the heels and toe stitching. I cant fix the stitching. I can certainly F up the heels with a belt sander but im gonna go slow lol.

looks very good and much cleaner without the leather on the instep

And now for something a bit different:

And to keep it in the spirit of this thread, this is the first jacket that came to mind to match it

Although I think these would go with most of my jackets.

Edit: Didn't have the chance to take pics wearing the jacket today unfortunately

Got some viberg brown cxl boots. First vibergs really like the finish of these. Wish whites would finish boots like this. Heels and stitching are on point. Prlly should get more of these.

Received the sagara Cordmaster today. Took about 5 days for DHL to deliver the package. Given it has been sent over the Christmas period shipping time was really quick.

Fit is spot on. the overdyed cloe superlux looks pretty good. It is quite a bit thinner and more flexible right out of the box when comparing to flame panda and other horsehide boots I have had so far. Might be because of a thinner lining I am not sure. Seems to be one of those boots that don't require any break in at all. The brown leather under the black dye can be seen under a certain lighting which is pretty cool.

Can anyone identify these:

Well, probably should have left the heel sanding to the pros on my whites. Who would have guessed lol.

I am changing course again. I am sending to Drews/bakers to change both pair (8 inch boots one 55 last one 4811 last) from standard 270 welt low block heel to a 360 welt and vibram unit lug vs vibram wedge sole.

Should be pretty easy to get them right nice and even all the way around. Shipped them out yesterday. They said it will be 4-5 months. I am going to try breaking in my whites MP boots and new vibergs in the meantime.
