I would say both leather and midsole. The midsole is a double midsole but each layer is approximately 3/4 as thick as the leather used on my wescos and the horween leather just feels entirely lighter than wescos black fire. I've actually never had a leather on a boot as heavy duty as the black fire on my wescos, those boots have to be held in person to even understand just how heavy they are for those not familiar with Wesco.
I don't feel the lofgrens are too light though, and hope that's not how it came across. They have a more traditional weight to them and are comparable to old chips or knapps from yesteryear as was intended I'm sure.

^It came across as you intended it to. I was/am just curious by nature about why you felt the weight difference 50% is a pretty big weight difference. Appreciate the answer
Ill throw them on the scale this evening and see if that was close or an exaggeration but again, wescos are HEAVY, too me they borderline too heavy but…. I like em and I know I can beat the snot out of them and they will still love me.
- will post some comparison pics as well to give you an idea
Looks like you got em MCL, congrats! How is the fit my man?

Great to hear they worked out man! They look terrific, might have to get me a pair!
-
Haha right? They are super comfy out of the box too. A suitable rival for nerkg's old Road Champs.

Just saw the "didnt pay this", how did that work out? Are they just going to bill you?

My hope is that government incompetency worked out in my favor. I was at the PO before it opened and retrieved it from the parcel room directly, I don't think it occurred to them to charge duty.
I just LOVE the storm welt… It looks cool and when you study it it looks like they folded the welt bead themselves, I don't think they used an off the shelf welt, though I could be wrong.

Word, whatever the case, I love em! The buckles also arrived, I look forward to having those installed on the RCs, thanks!
-
Not to beat a dead horse, but I have to say I can't believe how great these are right out of the box. The fit is SOOO perfect. Crazy awesome
