So, a 1A on the 1757 last.I’m wearing my natty Freeports today. I really love these boots — maybe even more than the Higgins Mill.

I think that one of the reasons I like this is that it’s a boot on the 1757, and that’s a good fit for me.
It got me to thinking…. Should AE add another boot to the 1757 lineup? We’ve got the Higgins Mill, Freeport, and the Patton. The Patton is not as tall as the others, and all three are fairly casual.
How about a cap-toe version of the HM, with a simple line of brogueing along the edge of the cap-toe? I think with a flat welt the boot would look slightly slimmer. And hidden eyelets might dress it up a little more. I wondered if Alden made anything along those lines, and I found these two.

My suggestion would almost be a mashup of these two. I’d want the hidden eyelets and flat welt combined with the brogued cap-toe.
What do you think?
