Mein Gott! They arrived today and..of cource I am wearing them. I will have to get around to Polishing them. Here is breif review:
Ordering:
Ever since I discovered these boots, I knew I must have them. I sent a email to Richard and found out when he was expected to have them in stock and ready to roll. When that magical day came, I scrambled for my credit-card as fast as I could and sent that order out. 1 week later I was contacted by Richard telling me my order was shipped and exactly one week later here they are. The boots were 165 pounds which equates to about 340 dollars Canadian.
First Impression:
After paying 100 dollars for custom and taxes (18% plus Canada's lovely 14% GST/PST) I grabbed the box and tore it open. (Don't worry, the emplyees at the postal outlet are use to me doing this by now..it was alot more interesting with my helmet)I was totally blown away by them. These boots are beautifully built using a leather that was so great in quality, it blew my father away (He is a rancher so naturally he has a large leather collection; Boots/Saddle/Belts/etc). They are wood-pegged, hobnailed, have toe-taps and heel irons. Did I mention the toes are not boxy and incorrect? No? Well they are perfect, and look very authentic. If I had to sum that all up in two words I would have to go with "OMFG-Pure-in-love-with-these superb-boots" <--Get's my excitement across better.
What next?:
Well dang son, I had to put them on! They fit beautifully and are very comfy. I have had modern tactical boots which don't feel as great as these do. These are definately going to be highly recommended by all who purchase them.
