[tigerpac]

Is there a good resource explaining the pros/cons of each type of leather, heel, construction etc that somebody could point me to?  Thanks

OTTER !!!!! You crazy bastard 

Sell me their bones 

[Chris]

I'm thinking otter describes the tanning process, because that looks like regular cowhide to me.  But then again, I've never seen otter, so what do I know?

[pentastarch]

It looks like regular cowhide to me too

[Megatron1505]

It is cowhide, I was joking

I got so excited about Otter leather…

@tmg:

@demonito:

Awesome boots Demonito - would you mind telling me the build spec?

Still keen to know the spec on these - anyone?
I'm guessing that they're 8" SD's with a mixture of black dress and bullhide?

[tmg]

For some reason the picture's missing from my last post?

Hi.  Can anyone speak to the difference between the "Standard" last and the "Semi-dress" last on a Smokejumper/Farmer-rancher.  I guess I thought they were the same, but Bakers lists both as options (along with the Swing and the 461 Classic, which I have a good sense of…)

Thanks.

From experience with both I would say the SJ is more roomy full stop and noticeably in height above the instep and toe box. Hope that helps.

[nicecrackaction]

same here, plus the standard last has no upturn in the front, the soles are sitting flat on the ground.

[nicecrackaction]

had the heels lowered a bit…
