I plan on presenting Kathy with 2 makeups. If she can do both and we have a sufficient number of people willing to pre-order then awesome, that's the route we'll go. If she only wants to do one then I will talk to her about our primary/backup plans. Regardless of her decision I will inform everyone that has expressed interest which shoe we have ended up going with. Most of the posts have claimed allegiance to a color #4 boot regardless of wingtip or cap toe. It seems that we have our primary makeup in the #4 boot though, and I agree with your earlier post that we should lock in a welt and sole option as well as a toe (wingtip vs cap toe.)

So, lets narrow down those options. Please post your preferences for a toe, welt, and sole. I'll post my preference first to start things off.

Toe: Cap toe (no medallion)

Welt: 360 welt

Sole: Double waterlock, or double leather sole


If you have remain undecided on any of these options then whichever wins the majority will be what is finalized. Thanks!

Toe: WT
Welt: 360 welt with antique edge trim
Sole: Commando

Edit - Definitely a strong preference for all eyelets! Speedhooks destroy my pants and aren't secure.

Do I have need to specify heel? seems like there's a number of options out there in mtos?

Ah good catch. Another variable I forgot about. Sure, please go ahead and specify a heel. I've edited my post to specify one as such. If anything this will show Alden DC that we mean business

I actually spoke to Kathy a few weeks ago about doing a:
Cigar
plain toe boot
on the barrie last
w/ antique edgetrim
and all eyelets
...and she seemed very open to the idea.
That would be my preference. Maybe on a double waterlock or commando sole.
Also, just to add, possibly whiskey instead of cigar would be nice. Never seen a whiskey plain toe boot, and Kathy did do the whiskey indy last go-around. So maybe she can come by some whiskey again.
Remember how nice these Leather Soul make-ups were?


I am in with this idea.

Great thread, sorry for the late add. I'm in on anything in a #4. That said, my preference:

Toe: wingtip

Welt: 360 welt

Sole: Double waterlock or commando

antique edge trim

Dammit! I forgot about trim as well. *sigh* please add trim to your posts as well. Sorry everybody, there is a lot to go over and the lady is getting mad that Im not watching Alien 3 with her.... Though I dont imagine anyone is going to say anything other than antique trim. It just looks oh so nice.

Very interested in #4 with medallion cap on Grant, all eyelets, and any sole but commando. Prefer storm welt. I defer to wiser heads on edge color.

Alright everyone, I figure since there is already so much input on our primary makeup that I am going to post the vote now. Fill out the poll with your preferred choices and obviously don't select conflicting points. (No cap toe wing tip boots on a commando double waterlock sole with antique dark trim)

Feel free to fill out the poll whenever, just know that I will be closing the poll this Sunday. And I am not sure if this poll can recognize a person twice but please only vote once. But if it does we have to rely on the honor system.

Again, I really appreciate everyone's input.

EDIT: Ah, I realize I should clarify something before this gets too far. If you come to a point where you don't mind either way, for example those of you who do not care if it is a wing tip or a cap toe, then go ahead and vote for both. If you have instead voted in a way where you left a category blank due to not minding the outcome of a selection, please PM me so I can rectify the tally. Thanks guys.
