More about this item
8 inchSee background
Why did you choose this item?
I was curious to see how reverse horse butt aged and even more interested to see if natural reverse horse butt would tan. It did not disappoint
How did you determine your size?
Peng sized me from measurements
What was the ordering process?
Lots of conversations over Instagram over almost a year. Pretty exhausting
Use & wear
Just every day honest wear. Well not every day, as I’m double doming
Leather
The black had started to show a warm amber glow behind it and the brown is starting to come through at flex points
I can’t not believe how much this rough out color evolved. From almost white to an impossibly warm and worn amber color. Unbelievable
Fit
Peng nailed the sizing this time. The 206 last is pretty accommodating for my wide and high volume feet
Craftsmanship
Pengs craftsmanship and finishing is on par with the best in the world. These are also tanks, as have been the other 3 boots of his I’ve handled
Sole & heel
Great, no issues
I had asked for a full woodsman, but this looks decent, I think the fill would have looked better with the boots and their overall shape
