This is about 90% of the way to where I'd want a boot like this to be. It's in sort of the same sort of family as the old Eagle County, but with different leather, different lines and bright white wedge sole. Honestly, if that sole was off-white, like a Red Wing, or even the original Eagle County, I'd be much more into it. Heck, if it had white contrast stitching, like a Thorogood, I think that would also work in its favor.

Really like the chestnut color CXL. I think it's a great addition to the lineup and I hope it starts to spread out to a couple other pairs of footwear (if it hasn't already). The Waxed Suede version of the Park City has a much better looking wedge sole. Still not great, but better. I like the chances some of these new boots are taking, and I really like that they're coming out with some weatherproof versions like these. I'm going to give them some time to see if they grow on me a bit more.

Am I the only one that sees it as a Normandy on a better sole? I liked the Normandy but it felt like walking on a piece of wood.

I’d actually like to try these on

edit: ohhh, that waxed one is tasty

The new Park City boot with the white sole reminded me of the tan Eagle County with the white Vibram Cristy sole.

Personally, I prefer the looks of that Cristy sole. The new sole looks like it would be very flexible though.

Speaking of flexibility.... The location of those channels in the new sole are in an odd location. I feel like they should be moved to the forefoot area, where our feet flex. I feel like they should be removed from under the arch, which really should be more rigid and supportive in my opinion.

I think Park City is in Eagle County; my uncle lives there on Sullivan Street.

Please bring back the Academy (really any CXL PTB or derby)

Yes! Was just looking yesterday to see if there was a pair floating around at the Shoebank. Bring em back. Bring back those Rudolphs too!

Hamilton buddies...question for you. These are a little tight around this area, just behind where the broguing cuts across. How likely are they stretch/give there as they break in? If they’re like the same color scheme unlined Strandmok...then I’m sure it’ll be fine. But if not then they might cause irritation

I know sinking in to the cork will help some. I definitely cannot size up any and have them fit the rest of my foot.

Eagle county is a much better looking boot, proportioned better, new boot looks a bit "clunky" to me. The sole just doesn't do it for me at all.

It does have a Normandy/Caen look to it. I happen to like the original Normandy sole

I know, if I remember correctly you bought multiple pairs! To me though I wish they had better support/comfort But that’s me being on my feet all day

Non-AE, but I’d appreciate your thoughts.

Does the weirdness of my vintage Caravelle watch make it ugly or cool?
