Cheers.

Vass 'Valways'
F Last
270 Norvegese
Vibram outsole
Oxblood uppers
Black grain shaft
Size 43 pictured

So you take the same size in Galway and Valway. Now that baffles me

I take Galway 9/9.5 but I think 8.5 in F last would fit me since the Oxford in size 8 UK is bit tight.

^^^ I can't conceive of a full size difference in tall boots EG vs Vass - at least not in F last - in P2 a half size difference, sure. But hey - my feet are not your feet. In tall boots I am a UK 9 / US 10 / Euro 43 across multiple brands and lasts, with few exceptions.

Snowmageddon and due in court. Nice to have these Vass derbies on standby. Supreme snow traction from the heavy lugged Vibram outsole.

Makes me miss the snow...just a little bit

Alright boot people, I need your advice. I've been looking around for my first pair of boots and wanted your opinion on whether or not to stick with a classic cap toe, a slightly more rugged Chromexcel/Dainite like the AE Higgins Mill, or the outdoor sole like the Magnanni Peyton. Looking for something I can wear through this slop in the northeast, but also in the office.

Do you all have weather-specific dress boots or do you not bother?

I'd consider Grant Stone. I have several pairs of their boots (and a few pairs of shoes...) and really love them.

And speaking of Grant Stone, Dune Diesel boot on rubber sole for the rain/snow "event" we are having today.

Wish I could find a used pair to try first.

In November I shipped off my Loakes Doverdales to the mothership in Northhampton UK, as there was a split in the Dainite sole on one boot. I asked if they had to take the soles off to please replace them with leather if they could. Today I got the boots back with a new box, boot bags and leather soles with stacked leather heels!!!! i am pumped. The Loakes people really treated me right. I cant begin to say how pleased I am. I had heard really good things about their customer service, and I guess it is true.

Very impressive. I saw a negative experience recently so you've been lucky

Yours look almost like the latest batch of whisky. Mine look a bit like old Cigar...
