Damn it, I missed the release. I'll have to wait until Self Edge gets it.

@Giles:

A few, but no 38's in a week or so

Need a pair of 34

Any restock of these in the near future?

@BUZZARD:

So how do you find the bullhide compared to the cxl, similar or vast diff?

I'm not completely sure which aspect you were referring to. Stiffness, I think they are similar; when new, I like the bullhide better. In terms of how they evolve and their qualities, I can't comment as this is my first time experience with bullhide on anything. But I can't say that my experience with cxl has been 100% satisfactory, especially for my riding boots.

I have to post more of them, as they are simply gorgeous. Second day, the tightness has already given in, the break-in hasn't been tough at all.

@BUZZARD:

Hey on week five of my wait, ordered Oct 25 and killing me!  What timeline were you told?  4-6 or 6-8?  Wondering how much longer I have !

Kyle gave me 6-8 weeks, and I ordered on Oct 4th.

7 and half weeks of wait, the boots are finally here. Absolutely stunning shoes, here's the configuration:

White's Smoke Jumper Standard Last; Leather 1: Black Dress; Leather 2: Black Bull Hide; Toe Vamp Leather: Black Dress; Toe Cap Leather: Black Dress; Celastic Toe Box: Single; Safety Toe: No Thanks; Heel Counter Leather: Black Dress; Height: 8"; Upper (Shaft) Leather : Black Bull Hide; Leather Liner: Tan; Sole Trim: Standard Trim; Top: Rolled; Back Stay Leather: Black Bull Hide; Pull Loop: Yes; Eyelet Color: Antique; Eyelet Configuration: Hook and Eyelet; Top Garment: Hook; Lace Design: Plain Toe; Lace: Leather; False Tongue: Black Bull Hide; Sole: Vib mini-lug; Half Slip: No; Heel Shape: Block; Heel Height: Standard; Last: Standard
Midsole: Standard; Midsole/Edge Color: Natural

First day wearing them, pretty tight around the ball part and arches of the feet, should be the arch-ease system. Kyle said it'll loose up and collapse in 100-120 hours of wear. Now it's time to think about the next pair.

@CatKillah:

Saw a L popped up, and snatched it immediately, hopefully it's a real piece

PM me if you dislike it for whatever reason… Clinical insanity would be my first guess, but no matter...

I sure will, but yeah, it should be highly unlikely…

I went with the same size as my converse chuck as well as john lofgren sneakers. Hopefully it works.

oops, turned out I got the last pair of indigo 8.5

I'm looking forward to seeing foot clutch fade on the left shoe

Good to see that the length shrinks quite a bit after a warm wash.

Here's another thing. In this game, what happens in the past has little bearing on the future.

We released a green shirt a few years ago, it sold out in about an hour.  A few months later we made another green shirt, I ordered shit loads.  Hardly any of them sold because everyone who wanted a green shirt had already bought one….. ::) ::)

This reminds me of years ago when I would hang out at Union LA all the time. Visvim FW 2010 was about to start shipping and teaser pics popped up on hypebeast of a pair of really heavy hiking boots, union didn't order any of them, and that day they received 20 phone calls about them. When I asked the owner why he didn't order he told me "retail on those is $1100, and if the guys who CAN afford $1000 boots doesn't buy them, then we will be stuck with them"

And yet they would stock $800 hoodies and sweaters.

Got a large.

@organisys:

Ive worn mine nearly every day to work in the colder months and there is zero sign of wear and its is totally wind proof. Pop collar is handy on windy days too.

Stop it…

Wow, that kinda push me over the fence now…

@manufc10 That's because I was so anxious to put them on and could not and would not waste even one second getting rid of the tag. 

@CatKillah:

Guess I'll be the first to post a fit picture. Size 34. I haven't soaked it yet, the thigh and knee area can definitely afford some shrinkage, waist is just about right as of now, but I'm not concerned because it will stretch. Before I got them I was a little worried about the fit because I missed the tapered version, Matt and Alex hooked me up with the pair with the largest thigh measurement, and I think it came out perfect. Thank you guys.

They are absolutely gorgeous, same with the new IHSH-169 IND. I have been happy like a kid ever since then.
