They came out beautiful, so thank you @ae_ashley!

I am still deciding on which laces to use...

Next up are the color 8 Higgins Mill. I love the color, don’t love the sole. They are so light and I wasn’t expecting that at all. For some reason I was expecting a heavy lug sole, but I guess that’s partly my fault for not noticing. I guess they would be a good option for travel though as they wouldn’t add weight to the suitcase. I will wear them and see how I feel about them, but I may end up just changing out the sole to something like a tan wedge. Snake Oil Provisions made an awesome Alden boot with a similar leather, Truebalance last, plain toe, and tan wedge soleand I missed out in it. This could be a replacement for that.

Finally, these White’s MP-Sherman boots. I guess opening these first and feeling their weight and then opening the HM’s above really skewed my perception about them as these puppies are SOLID and heavy. I love them. Dark brown waxed flesh and the best leather laces I ever touched.

Tan laces, all day!

Tan laces, all day!

Yea, definitely leaning towards them. That’s why I bought them specifically for these boots.

I happened to get a small cooking oil spot on my new natural Higgins boots. I learned that Saphir offers a product that can work really well to remove the stain -- we shall see. The product is really hard to find right now, and as a result, the price is very high. Trenton & Heath's channel is who I have to thank for informing me about this product.

I'm so sorry for this loss of such an inportant person in your life. Your warning is needed as I am also guilty of getting complacent with measures to keep me and others safe. Time to redouble my own efforts in that area.

Hamilton and Strands fit the same ?

Hamilton and Strands fit the same ?

They fit similar, but the v-gap on the Strands close more than the Hamilton. However, I do wear dress socks exclusively with my Strands as opposed to wool boot socks with the Hamilton.
