...to answer some of the comments/questions on the Thor boot poll from the various members:
Q1. I am not sure if any one mentioned it, but I hope the heel will be the standard leather and dovetail of rubber.
A1: Not sure if this is an option on the oiled sole. Does anyone know if there is a standard heel type that is paired with the oiled sole?


My whiskey Indy boots from Alden DC with the double waterlock sole have the "footbalance" rubber heel. That's an option

Kathy isnt expected to be in until thursday so you'll have to wait until then to bring the order to her. Seeing as how you are approaching her with the thor boot do you want to bring up the first makeup we did as well? Float the #4 with her and see if it is an option? I was going to do so myself but it makes more sense to consolidate our orders.


Sounds good…Saturday I will contact Kathy about both make-ups and report back.

I just added myself to the googleDoc - so I'm clear, is the #4 boot still the first choice w/the Thor as the back-up?

I think the google doc was for the Cigar.

I think they are going to approach DC with both designs and see if they accept one, the other, or both.

Please correct me if I am mistaken.

The Google voting form was just for the Cigar.

As previously indicated, I'm interested but would like to know the deposit amount and anticipated delivery date before providing a hard commitment.

I would think we would know the deposit amount once a retailer has agreed to the makeup (assuming it would be based on their usual retail policy). The delivery date will be hard to come by based on previous experience. The retailer could submit the order to Alden but not receive confirmation for a while (?).
