I asked for a true engineer work boot. I got more than expected.
Couple months in Adam and I had a funny conversation. I asked for the toughest work leather for this build. Bores hide was the frontrunner. Till he came across a couple elephant hides. But at this specific call. He was confused of my stating that these are too good. They don't mark ro scratch. Doesn't seem to take water or darken. May have not been the best choice for a patina contest entry. He stated he built the work boot first. Not a patina contest boot. All 3 of my boots are 4811 last. Forst 2 had celastic. Wanted a flat toe appearance. He promised he would build this pair to flatten out the way I wanted. So it did. Adam has been a great to throw ideas with. Open to any idea. Multiple ideas are still in discussion. Great guy. Side note. He has always quoted me less than what I've paid. Keep.telling him he needs to up his prices.
