These are finally headed home. Dropped these off with Nicks when ordering second place prize. These are really worn more than I recalled.

More about this item

Fun to get my pair at the same time as my brother. Lucas at Nicks took a pic with us. I wore my tallest boots. He got on his tiptoes to keep me shorter. Boots were different. 64 tan was softer than expected. Kinda floppy. Heel slip was more than I liked. But with time and they tightened up. Still some slip but I've gotten used to them. The insulation that was installed worked well. Good to the mid twenties. Added zero bulk or stiffness. Like it was never there. The leather color is something different. After I condition with venetian cream it darkened heavily. But from last month they lightened up back to normal. Of course now they darkened again. But should lighten back up with wear. Usually works the other way. All in all a pleasant surprise build.
