Does anyone have experience with Nick's "Max Wedge" soles? They claim high durability, but I don't see how. I have yet to handle them in person, so perhaps I'm missing something.

Zerrows flat toe last Engineer Boots in natural CXL. My wife thinks I've got cowboy boots and seems to be suitably impressed. I wish the wait time for Zerrows stuff wasn't 12-18 months because I'd order something from them in a heartbeat - the easiest to get on / off and still best fitting engineers Ive come across.

RedWing Moc-Toe.

I’ve been on the verge of grabbing a pair for years. I am just not really sold on the standard white foam sole.
This is a special ed. for the European market with a Vibram sole, so I took that as a sign not to be ignored.

Those boots are fantastic with the black sole.

Thank you! Yes, the looks of the black commando sole is what pushed me over the edge.

The Moc Toe is very popular in the urban centres of my region, and somehow I didn’t want to completely blend into the crowd (middle-aged, middle-fit, middle-class guys, supporting the local football club, believing life gets more meaningful if you don’t wash your selvedge denims…).

I like those a lot! Same leather as what I’m wearing today.
