I am awaiting information on the crust CXL before committing. It is not necessarily the color I was looking for, but I will wait before concluding. By the way, I would be fine with a perforated cap toe.

I think the crust CXL will have natural variations in color but should darken nicely with age.

I almost gave up on my Mocha Oil Tan Garages but I realized it's a hard as nails leather(plus it's awesome on the 110)... It is a dark brown leather but seems like a very hardy work boot leather that would not be easily damaged. I have the Brown waxed flesh but, while close, it doesn't seem as tough as the Mocha Oil Tan.

No black waxed flesh going on I guess? A Scout boot on the 110 with commando with a black edged midsole would be pretty rad. Silver eyelets?

Also, what is the width of the 310 last?

I think crust CXL is very close to icy mocha CXL and will develop great patina. Or you could darken it significantly with Obenauf's

I agree the crust is nice think it will age very nicely.

One of the good things about the 310 is that it comes in both D and E widths, the only Viberg last to do so I believe. The D really feels like a D to me, that is not too wide not too narrow. I am planning on getting an E for a bit more room.

I interpret crust CXL as what people think Natural CXL actually is i.e. "Natural CXL" is actually a color as much as brown and black and crust is the totally undyed unfinished leather in it's "natural" state so to speak. I think out of all the CXL choices Ive seen it would be the most unique/interesting.

Unfortunately, the way that these GMTOs are structured, we will not be able to do multiple widths for a specific last, I think. I will ask about an exception, but please proceed as I've just said.

Not sure I can get with the 310 last myself.
I have big feet and I fear they'll be too clown shoe looking for my liking.
Wish this workboot was going to be on a different last.

310 is EE like 110, w/ roomier toes due to the higher toe profile.

I have those 3Sixteen rough outs and got them on the second order they did. I would think they will do it again...I have to say I do wish they were done with the lighter stitching like the traditional Boondocker however that is a tiny gripe...Rancourt does a stacked sole on a model or two of their shoes.

I would also be willing to trade my size 9 unglazed shell preorder for either a size 8 or 8.5.
