Every once in a while I see something in this forum that instantly sends me on the hunt. This post did it today. These are a perfect winter boot. Checks all the boxes for me. Yours look incredible. Never heard of circle 7 but just got on the list for the restock. Thanks for sharing.

I did the same. I think a cap toe works better than the wing tip pattern other shops have done with this leather. Makes a great rain boot!

Agreed. As an FYI, you might want to check with Alden of Carmel. Adam has a similar boot on order with all brass eyelets. Sounds pretty close and with Adam, you simply can't beat the service.

Thanks for kind words guys. I actually picked these up reluctantly because I couldn't find reverse chamois wingtips in my size with a commando sole and flat welt (requirements for my boots). If anyone has a 9D pair of wingtips boots that they want to trade for these, be happy to talk. I love these but just have SOOOOO MANY cap toe boots, and just bought another shell pair from Meermin MTO...just cant seem to stop.
