Show us your boots

Thanks @Autorotate !

Curious as to what is it about the CXL you like so much more. Just the color or something to do with it being less stiff than the horsehide, or ?

@pechelman
The leathers are very similar. I like the brown color/tone better. More compatible with the colors in my wardrobe.
And for me it’s a shame I can’t try these things on in a showroom. There’s no substitute for wearing them with your favorite jeans/pants. My mind’s eye is so often “off” when picking colors.
I also have black, and it’s worth mentioning that the quality control from each boot to the next is perfect. They all fit the same, break in the same… just a superior piece of lifetime footwear.

A little teaser

@Anesthetist Stop being a tease and whip it out so that we can all look at it…

These are the RDT Coupen Mid Cut in Italian teacore horse. I wanted a shoe that’s wear like a boot but be more comfortable and lighter. This pair hits the nail on the head and I think have a potential to be on my feet for a very long time.

I wish I could somehow send the lovely smell they have. It immediately took me back to ca 1996 or so when I tied up my first pair of Docs. Pure heaven 🥺

@Anesthetist dig those man! I’ve never heard of RDT before.

[Mizmazzle]

Ah!! Duh!! Rolling Dub Trio haha. Thanks google. I’ve been curious about their boots myself.

@Anesthetist beautiful boots right down to the hairy laces.

[jerkules]

@Anesthetist love those!

[popvulture]

Love RDTs! Very comfortable and roomy, and I’ve been nothing but pleased with the quality of my Caspers.

@Anesthetist how did you size for these? I’ve read sizing down anywhere from 1-2 full sizes. I’m interested in their Chelsea and I think their boots all size similarly.

Picked these up for a steal on Marrkt.

Wanted a pair of Fracap boots for ages, but have been holding out for a pair that really spoke to me.

Very, very happy with these.

@Karol these look great! I’ve had a pair for some time and they have always been my favorite Red Wings. The Amber Harness leather was super comfortable from the jump.

[Mizmazzle]

@T4920 those are really cool looking!! Never heard of that brand. Gonna check em out!

@Mizmazzle Made in Italy, comfortable from day one, reasonably priced at around $300, and often on sale

I'm far from a boot expert, but materials and construction seem great.

here's the pair pictured, it looks like you can get Made To Order through their website for around $100 more than their Ready To Wear range.
