Navy. Hear me out: there are TONS of burgundy options. And realistically, you can get a burgundy shell boot from lots of other makers. Navy shell, not so much.

I think his concern is that the boots he posted are navy shell Landons, so basically sole and shaft would be the only variance.

I agree -- navy is more badass than burgundy.

 

[madhat]

I’ve made my reasoning for the navy known prior, but I also think @Shoenut likely end up selling the pair he showed... unless he donates to @Shiner
For that reason, I’m in burgundy camp. Don’t give him an inch @Shoenut !

Longbranch boots - the dressiest boots I'll wear this weekend. It's all downhill from these. View attachment 1541399 View attachment 1541401

I told you so...

Danner Gore-Tex snake boots

Random.

How do we feel about Topys on boots? I have Higgins in cordovan on a single leather sole. I actually really like how they feel on foot but I live in the Chicago area so our weather isn’t the greatest.

is there any potential downside to getting a topy added?

I’m leaning towards just wearing and enjoying them as is until needing a resole to change, but there is no shortage of cobbles in the area.

I like topys.

I live in Singapore and it rains here throughout the year, of course short bursts but still all round the year. All my leather-soled shoes have Vibram topys. None of my boots are leather sole and I avoid leather soles on boots.

I would not hesitate to get a topy on those.
