We learned about Patina Thunderdome at Stitchdown Bootcamp and thought we had missed the boat. Btins bought me these boots as a surprise and they arrived on October 31st, just in time to join the second start of the contest. I already owned the Grant Stone Nora Boot in Crimson Chromexcel and Sky Reverse Kudu so I knew I liked the style and fit.
Based on the description online we were able to determine my correct size.
While this pair was purchased as a gift, and I was not a part of the experience, meeting Wyatt Gilmore while wearing my Crimson Chromexcel Noras (!) and ordering my Sky Reverse Kudu Noras at Bootcamp led to their purchase. When they arrived they were packaged so nicely, wrapped in their cloth and shoe bags, with the handwritten card from Mike A.
