The boots are mainline Stuart's, not Phineas, and are about 10 years old now. I believe that someone online, after seeing the nail pattern on the heels, said that they were Grenson Masterpiece boots (I assume Grenson's equivalent line to C & J's Handgrade line of shoes). All I know is that I got lucky, as they were a sale item, at about 50% off.
If I'm correct Grenson only made their masterpiece line for Stuart's Choice branded shoes/boots. Do you have a picture of the sole and inside size/last number stamp perhaps to check if they indeed are made by Grenson?

Carlos Santos jumper boots.
I'd not suggest to actually jump from an aircraft with them, though.

As requested, photos of the size/last number, and the original soles & heels . . .

Alfred Sargent Hanover, a proper pair of English country boots. These are my designated rain and outdoor boots.

Itshide commando is easily the most comfortable sole I've tried, with Alden leather and commando soles next on that list. I do own a couple of pairs of boots on ridgeway that I purchased recently, and ridgeway is very comfortable too. Will reserve judgement until I've had a chance to wear them for an entire day.
