Maybe it's outshined by its vibram ice grip soled brethren the chukka and full lace boot, plus the Patton. Boot overload? Nah, TS takes priority I think for mostI'm a little surprised that I've seen no excitement for the new Alpine cap toe boot. I think they look great, and the 1757 last works good as a boot last for many.

That whole line is sizeist. That sole and last screams B width.Maybe it's outshined by its vibram ice grip soled brethren the chukka and full lace boot, plus the Patton. Boot overload? Nah, TS takes priority I think for most
I kind of like the Alpine cap toe boot, but have some Grant Stone cap toe boots on pre-order, so............I'm a little surprised that I've seen no excitement for the new Alpine cap toe boot. I think they look great, and the 1757 last works good as a boot last for many.

Are you saying you only purchase shell?I liked it alot. But I doubt it'll ever make it into a TS
Premium European leather could be damn near anything. I may get a pair once they are in my size at Shoebank just to see.Definitely a case of Trunk Show Fever.
I like the new boots. The Alpine seems exactly like something I'd want in a style. I'd like to know what leather it is. The website just describes it as "premium European leather," whatever that is.
Interesting video i found that i think some of you will enjoy.

AE only uses a handful of European tanneries. If they were calf, they would call it out. Premium to me means hides that are too big to be called calf. Nothing wrong with a well tanned Steer hide. I have said it before but let us remember that our beloved Chicago tannery is about 90% Steer hide. Shell is really a low percentage as those raw materials are really hard to come by. My next comment will be seen as heresy but our beloved CXL is not only partial chrome tanned but if you really get into the details, it is also semi corrected.Premium European leather could be damn near anything.

Sure but AE has listed corrected as “premium calfskin” beforeAE only uses a handful of European tanneries. If they were calf, they would call it out.
