As promised, I am sharing a set of pictures of the latest batch of Oct. Tenth shoes.

The pictures are unedited, besides colour correction and some minor dust removal. The pictures are 2048px square, so please right-click, open in new tab and zoom in.

It seems as if styleforum is resizing the images, which is unfortunate as it doesn't allow for zooming. Feel free to email me for full resolution pictures.

Certainly!

1) Chukka boots in Sienna Hatchgrain calf on the Huang last. This was a special request for a customer of orders, with 3 eyelets instead of 2. This model does not have a model number just yet.

2) Spiral Oxford OT18 in Dark Brown Museum calf on the Pu last

3) Split Toe Derby OT01 in Saddle Brown Hatchgrain calf on the Pu last

4) Butterfly loafer OT07 in Black Pig print calf on the Huang last

@Notch, I would take shipping delays over a bad circumference boot shaft any day, currently have two pairs of beautiful boots that are almost unwearable because of the overlap.
Hi, those boots, are they from Oct. Tenth, or Sons of Henrey?

With Sons of Henrey, the Field Boot pattern has been altered on two occasions (the last change being about 1 year ago now), and the circumference is a lot smaller than before. In hindsight, I believe it was also not just the actual circumference that caused the issue, but in part also due to a relatively high instep last.

No, another forum affiliate vendor. Boots are great otherwise. This happened maybe two years ago

No, Affiliate Vendor to not be named. Sad no resolution was offered.

The top edge of my new chukka's, the part that touches the edge of my ankle and shin tends to really dig into my leg and cause a lot of pain and chaffing.

I've never owned a pair of chukka's in the past.

Is this just an expected course that I will have to fight through until I get 5-10 wears in? It really digs in and can be quite painful with each step.
