no problems, boys...
support this company, they're awesome!

also, please note it is Stamped Wings + Horns on the sole, but rest assured I did get it direct from Dayton.
-may be extra from the production when they were making it for W+H.

Are yours leather lined (the white material shown in the second last picture that's on the inside toe/mid part of the boot) or is it another material (canvas perhaps)?

Yeah yours were one or two of the remainder the had with that sole. Did you bind our feet or what-size 6? lol. All new orders are going into production soon and will not have the w+h stamp. I think they will have the Dayton logo below where the size is indicated. The rest is all the same.

I just ordered a pair in black oil tan, but it didnt occur to me that there might be a dayton logo stamped on the side of the boots. I wonder if I can email them and ask if I can not have that there...

I'm pretty sure that those are leftover wings+horns stock. Yours wont have the stamp. You guys should double check on the stacked leather heel as mine didn't have them when I bought them last fall (I asked but they didn't have any in stock). Mine also don't have the dayton stamp and are leather lined in brown. My oil tan brown is the same as the cherry posted on the last few pages.

Blazing you are a lucky ***** to say the least! I knew those were excess stock with the W+H stamping. as for the stacked heels, Michelle did say that everything is the same apart from the w+h logo stamp on the soles. Need to check this out with her again. Thanks for the info wannabeagiant.

Sure will. Only if i can get on the phone with Michelle! Someone just said that the calls are overwhelming and the store is going 'crazy' the last few days/wks.

I went in there on Saturday and they confirmed 40 orders of boots already.

They're expecting a lot more, probably double that I bet.

Can someone in this thread tell me what size they wear for MMMs and CPs (EU sizes please) and what size they wear for the w+h boots (stamped size, please), and if you are using an insole or not for the boots.

Thanks!
