Black CXL. The brown showing through in these pics looks more prominent than it does IRL because of the bright sun.What leather? Brown dress or...?
View attachment 217403 Hey All!
So Im a member of several vintage and heritage boot Facebook groups. Recently have been seeing these pop up. Hell of a name they have. Named after their favorite part of the animal, the best parts for boot-making.
They are located in the Netherlands, built in Portugal. Ive been hearing such great feedback on the groups Im in. They say stitching/construction is better than a Wolverine or Red Wing, Thursday, Oak Street etc...and very comfortable out of the box.
The price point is whats holding me back on grabbing a pair at the moment. After conversion comes out to like 440 dollars. More than most "Heritage" makers or niche boot companies. But not nearly as much as most Whites, Nicks, Lofgrens, RMC, Role Club and those sorts.
Going to keep my eyes open for any up on Ebay or Grailed. If any boot collectors here have had any I would love to hear your feedback
here’s a link to check out their limited selection.

I think they are probably totally worth it. Definitely a step above Red Wing and Wolverine. Probably more along the Whites, Nicks, Viberg. My only concern is at 440 dollars or there abouts, I might be tempted to go to 550 and then just get Whites. In any case though Im keeping my eyes on Grailed and Ebay to see if any used or someone flipping come up. If I can get a pair for under retail to test them out and see how they are...If they pass the test then I would 100% order a pair new. Well I guess when I said my only concern I didnt mean it, I have one more haha. The reason I would get a flip or resale is just because they arent well known and Ive never seen them in the wild so to speak. Or seen anyone here that I would trust to review them.Yes, I've occasionally taken a look at their boots as well over the years and been somewhat tempted. Price wise, I think they are not a bad deal. They seem to me to be more in the class of White's, Viberg, etc than Red Wing, etc, since they are more handmade than the latter it seems. Not cheap, as you say, but I wouldn't feel cheated.
Lovely. Semi-dress?My White's, just less than six years in:

Those are really sharp. I like how large the caps are. That's a touchy detail for me. I generally like toe caps any way, but I like simple toe caps that resemble old combat boots the most. More of an everyday, industrial worker look, but I'm way into it. If not for the eyelets and short height, those would look like a robust combat boot. Again, I'm into that look a lot.My White's, just less than six years in:
