Been a while - sorry gents. Life has been pretty intense lately, so haven't been thinking of the fun stuff as much.

However, Saddle Tan Diesels today. They're fantastic...

Have these ever been conditioned? And if yes- with what product?

Still some great looking items on the Sample Sale page! Mostly 10.5D, but also a few other sizes left.

Jungle Kangaroo Ottawa (not sure which sole, but looks like leather). Kangaroo boots will be going away soon from what I hear.

Tan Calfskin Ottawa (Incas tannery) on leather sole. I can't get over how amazing these look.

Dark snuff oiled shoulder Brass Boot on leather sole! Never seen the Brass on leather - super interesting.

Storm (gray) waxy commander Brass Boot - looks like C.F. Stead's anthracite - these are different than the Earth color! Patina monsters.

I can't actually remember, but I don't think so. I was trying to stick with a damp-cloth wipe-down routine with these to let them age as naturally as possible, so I think they're pretty much untouched by product.

If I did, I'd probably use Bick 4 or Reno. I don't want them to get too dark, so I'd have to think about it before using Reno.

This is what I'd been waiting to see. There's no description of what color this is, but it looks like maybe olive minerva? If they release an Edward boot in this color, it would be hard to say no for me.

Wow - me too. Give me an Ottawa in that...

My field boot lineup! One thing I noticed on the black CXL ones, is the tongue goes a bit higher than the others. This is actually really nice. I don't know how or why they are like that, but I love it. Perhaps the others should have the same.? View attachment 2008539

The pair on the far left is fantastic...

That is correct. Old screenshot (not mine):

There's been talk of releasing an olive boot soon, but I don't know which style.

@manowar Those samples are indeed great. Thankfully not in my size. Those chukkas are much better than their current offering.

It's hard because I know I can get away with wearing 10.5D even though I know it's not my best size. I was hoping the models I was interested in would sell out faster than they did.

Maybe you should try a different brand? I think I read that GS boots don't fit you well.
