This is nice, but for this round, we are going to limit the leather choices to the swatches that I have posted, and perhaps one additional grey-brown swatch which will we announce soon.

Cheers,

Fok.

I'm actually going to close this off tomorrow, and start with the voting. I'm going to ask Guy for one grey/brown roughout for some chukka makeups as well. It seems that most of the differences in opinion are between those who love the 2030 last, and those who prefer a rounder, fuller, last, like the 110 or the 2040. I will start the poll very soon, and you guys can vote it out. I'm taking the suggestions I've seen here, and synthesizing them into 5 or 6 that make sense to me. Since we only had one person actually buy 2 pairs last time, I am going to limit this vote to a single choice.

Cheers,

Fok.

^ is the ebony essex still in play or will that be replaced by a grey/brown roughout?
We are going to replace it with something as similar as we can find. Unfortunately, there is not enough of that leather left for a run

boom. Like that! The heather grey roughout that are my boots are also available for the chukka. Oh, man. I could use a pair of chukkas in that as well. So... conflicted as to what I will get for myself.

Poll will be up shortly.

Cheers,

Fok.

English Tan chukka, white vibram (christy?) sole, or even dainite

Service boot in tumbled burgundy (don't know how much i dig the grain), 2030 last, partially unstructured toe box, 10 brass eyelets, contrast tongue, dainite.

Actually, I'd LOVE the Color 8 shell boot that keeps getting pictured. I know Leffot did that a couple years back and they said they'd re-order if Horween produced enough leather. Man, I want that boot so bad.

I'd love a shell service boot on 2030 with partial structure toe box.

What is "upturned" toe? Do you mean the spring? (toe lifting off the ground)

Finally, is there a last similar to the 2030 but not as pointy top down? The 2030 can look like a hoof from top down...but lovely boot.
