Till, just pulled the trigger on the Baxter 'saddler' in walnut…not sure how long it will take to travel 10,000 miles....great shout on the 1 piece leather feature...will post some pics once I get hold of 'em
Damn you Stewart and Till. I love that one piece design. Stewart, how much did you pay all up and where you buy from? G

Been dealing with a guy called Mick Green @ www.bootsaustralia.com (mick@bootsaustralia.com). He has been most helpful with size issues etc. -

Congrats on the Baxters, Stewart. Excellent shoe for a very good price, I say. I agree with the usefulness of a rubber sole. It is not easy to find a well-made shoe with a thin rubber sole that can be worn with a wide variety of clothes and in bad weather, too. I have never damaged leather soles by wearing them in the rain but I do take good care of my shoes. I'd however not like to wear leather soles in snowy slush mixed with salt or gravel. That does kill them easily.
Side note: I am close to 40, too (37) and if you look anything like your twin brother of whom you posted a pic, I am jealous. That's one fit almost 40 year old.

I wore a pair of kickers with my 634S today…plain ugly or acceptable !!!! (they were a fashion icon when I was a teenager in the 80's)

Duhhh! Just realised I don't need these. Just hunted out my RM Williams (bought in Sidney a few years ago) to take them in for a new sole, and realised they are also one piece construction. What a dunce…..

@tfar:
Very nice boots, Giles. They look a lot like the Baxters. Is that the same manufacturer? Would be interesting to compare the two. Are they available in US or UK?

Hey Boys and Girls
These a pretty cool pair of boots for the price. Got mine for £45 from Ebay, the guy had worn them twice.
