It's either an EG "Galway" or a very, very good copy thereof. - No chance, getting it named a "Fishball"!

Haha, they can.
Just like EG Beaulieu and G&G Connaught.

How about an "Operation Fishball"?

Can't get into it. There's not enough separating it from a plain old military boot. Stylistically brings nothing to the table. I'm sure it's a great boot for fighting, though. We don't have enough fighting clothes on Style Forum.

You do realise they have suede tops right? I've never seen a military boot like that.

That said, I don't like them.

That said, I think black derbies are stoopid.

Sure. Still looks like a Corcoran jump boot. If it were all suede it would look like the boots they're wearing in the Sandbox right now, save for the color.

No problem, when the sole wear out.... (I think may need 5 or more years) I will resole it to normal welt and single leather sole, then it won't be big anymore.
