Hi Chris,
Yes Giles posted the Semi Lace to toe Jobmaster, and I posted a Burgundy Lace to Toe Jobmaster. they can be ordered with lower heels.
-
And I guess you can get the jobmaster with or without heavy upper stitching?
Sounds like if you specify "packer upper" there will not be heavyweight stitching on the upper.
-
BTW: is the olive drab leather available?

Outside? Her leash is too long…

Hahaha wow

I just got some happy news on this lazy Sunday - Fed Ex was out making deliveries to avoid the holiday rush. I got these beauties right at 13 weeks and 1 day from the order date.
These are custom Boss boots, 9" height, all burgundy domain leather, unlined, Vibram 100 sole with brown stained edge, 1 lift lowered heel, 9109 bump toe last, stock Wesco roller buckles, standard upper straps and 2" longer instep straps.
I'm really happy with these - and relieved that I got the fit right. I went with an E vs. my normal D width, wanting to be sure I could get them on/off easily, and they are perfect. Tightened the instep strap one notch, and they fit like a glove. These are much more comfortable out of the box than my Packers.
The domain leather is awesome, well worth the up-charge imo.

Merry Christmas to you, Bluegrass Loving the bump toe last lately. When ya get a sec, pls post a shot or two of the side profile. I'm especially interested to see how the lowered heel looks.
-
They look incredible.
-
Thanks guys. Seems like it takes forever for the weeks to tick by, but it sure is a happy day when Fed Ex finally rings the bell…
@Bretro_ here are some side views of lowered heel. At 6'7" I just don't need all that heel, plus I think it kind of accentuates the bump toe. At least that's what I was hoping.

Damn sharp dood. And already makin me think of my next build
Should probably at least pay for the Attractions first tho haha

Question for anyone who has an opinion to share…
A friend of mine put so much oil (not sure what, a Red Wing product I think) on the lower portion of his brand new, regular brown Wesco harness boots that they literally turned black. It's really quite remarkable - you'd never know they were initially brown, but you can clearly see the difference in color vs. the shafts which he did not butter up. Any ideas how to reverse this and get them back closer to the original color?
I'm afraid (and he is too) that he permanently screwed them up.
