Rough-out suede seems to be a big trend recently, not a fan, although I can see its practicality. It certainly suits a more casual style better than a classical one.

I've loved it for years and completely agree, low maintenance and casual for sure

I think you nailed it, it works great with casual outfits which describes 95% of what i wear. I have the same indifference towards dress boots - I appreciate their beauty but just not my bag at all.

I decided life's too short to not buy more boots that I don't need.

This is very unhelpful. I have been waffling about and resisting clicking the button to complete the purchase on a pair of black rough out Coniston boots for several days.
The pressure is increasing.
I should do it.
Wait.
Well.
Might as well.

Let the guilt pass, and patiently wait for the endorphines when the 'despatched' email arrives.

I've worn coniston rough out suede for daily dog walking for 3 years now. Very practical. Hose pipe the mud off, or brush the dust off, add a touch of dubbin and they look new. Super comfortable as well!

You're all terrible people and should be ashamed of yourselves...

Dewaffled and placed the order.

Just been informed that the shoes on the C&J websie are going up about 5% on 25th March (Monday).

5% certainly not in line with the latest inflation figures which suggest inflation is going down. But C&J prices are hiking up

But there's always a lag. Also, inflation is uneven - the price of high-quality leather has been going up quite a bit recently.

You nailed it so well! I'll keep this in mind for the future.

Big luxury brand names buying out and acquiring quality tanneries the world over. Surely they drive up the price of leather (and its supply/demand) as a result of having more control and ownership of the supply chain. Not good I suppose for independent shoe manufacturing companies who must source their leather from these luxury brand owned tanneries

Clearly I'm in the right place. Being tempted by some Conistons at the moment.
