I would be in for black hippo boot: design details above fine, except would prefer NOT norvegese and would prefer leather sole
(I think rubber would look very odd next to such a rustic and rough material as hippo)

Got you on my list, along with your preferences. We'll have an official discussion thread on Reddit in about a week or two, since >80% of interested parties are there. Will keep you posted.

Yeeeeeeees, yes it is.

Will second this. Definitely will not be wearing these anywhere that I'll have to take them off and put them back on! Buttoning them up takes a fair bit of effort (hopefully that'll get better as I get more skilled with the button hook) but I see that as part of their charm.

Such fantastic boots. Now I'm pondering getting another pair of button boots with a tweed shaft. Does Enzo do that?

Soooo does that mean Enzo won't do it, or that we haven't had them do it yet? :)

That means they don't have resources to do it I have asked skoak In past only suede, lama,peccary the option you see on Mto page is what you get my friend.

Oh no, that's disappointing. My next button boot may need to be St. C due to my love affair with tweed.

I would love to get another GMTO for this exact shoe if anyone else is interested.  Let me know if you would be interested in joining if you missed out on the first one like myself.
I'm interested. Is this a leather sole or danite? Because I prefer the latter.

Back to discussing Hippo makeups, I posted an idea on reddit and wondered if anyone was game (or had suggestions):

Black Hippo Wholecut Chelsea Boot
946 Last
270 degree handwelt
rombe on the waist (a rounded waist)
black millerghe soles
black welt

Basically this:



Except blacked out and in black hippo.

Didn't see the Reddit post. I might be interested in this instead of the brown hippo derby boot. Though I would honestly prefer any last but 946...
