Yeah, I would definitely vote for Commando (or Ridgeway)

 

[bespoken pa]

I have yet to do a mto through cj going commando would be ideal.

Does C&J do a fur lining? A Zug Snowden, commando sole with full bellows and fur lining would be my dream winter boot.

 

[bespoken pa]

I guess they do.

 

[bespoken pa]

I think zugglet fur is an upcharge.

I asked about that over the summer. Was told definitively NO. Had hoped for a version of the Snowdon done for the Turner brothers on their Arctic trip but with captoe. No dice - no fur, no shearling. FWIW.

No dice - no fur, no shearling. FWIW.

Dang. I'd still be interested in a full bellows zug Snowden on commando though!

Well Budapest, it looks like we will finally be able to get our Snowdon MTO off the ground. It's too bad we didn't have this interest earlier in the year... We could have been wearing these boots right now

For those interested, this was the make-up we had discussed: 228 Last - Oak Wax Hide - 5 Speed Hooks - Full Bellows Tounge - Faux Stitch Captoe - Commando Sole - Veldtschoen - Full Leather Lining?

 

[Fred G. Unn]

What exactly is the faux stitch captoe? Is that the only difference over this?

I'm in for Zug. What's the deets?

Currently all I've asked about is to a full bellows version, preferably in zug, everything else being the same as the standard Snowdon. I'm waiting to hear the response from the factory on the availability of zug which will take a 'few days'. If that's not going to work then I'd still be up for doing a standard oak wax hide version, but with full bellows.

I'll also ask about faux cap-toe and if they all have to be the same, and if we can vary the widths (as someone asked), but I don't really see why not??
