Maybe a "packer" - one of their boots is like a lace up cowboy boot…

We call that Grünspan which sounds silly even to German ears.

^Those are beauties. I have decided my next pair will be 8" BH harvest rough out, all antique eyelets, no toe box, quarter lower block heel, commando mini lug sole.

It's a great natural dye stuff too. It makes pastel green.

Thanks! I actually just ordered a pair in black horse hide. Almost the same make-up except no toe-cap, and regular heel lift instead of lowered. Should be about 5-6 weeks out now.

Finally took some pictures. Three full days of wear…

Those boots look fine! I presume they are LTT SJ’s… what leather are they? I’m waiting on a build very similar to yours from bakers only in 10’’ without toe-box. Seeing your build makes me even more glad of my choice.

4c thank you.

Nice, thanks

Opinions are like a-holes but I'm gonna ask anyway.

What do you guys think will look better on a pair of soft toe 6" high bounty hunters?

standard heel with 269 soles
standard heel with 705 half soles
Or
lowered standard heel with 700 soles

I'm heavily leaning to option 3) because I think the sleeker toe profile will look better with a lowered heel (eg Hollows' magnificent pair). What says the peanut gallery?

Like the standard height the heels, they're serious boots. you're liking for something sleeker there are other brands that do it better. Not taking anything away from whites, mine are one of my favorite boots, just sleek doesn't come to mind for me

I hear ya, tigerpac. Thx for your two cents. I too love whites, and want to capture the essence of em. By no means am I trying to make these into Trickers or Alden's that said, the soft toe really changes the look IMO and im just not totally sure if the regular heel hight would look right…
