The UK pound is actually pretty strong in comparison to the US dollar....The Canadian dollar on the other hand...sheesh!

Are the Hikers simply shorter Birdshooters or something different?

Those are very nice....I got them to send me their catalog and it's great to browse through. My understanding is they will do any of their styles in any type of leather you desire. Maybe the hiker in Black French veal or something with a Gumlite sole.You can always email them to ask. I find they're really responsive and helpful.
FWIW, I assume they're different boots. I ordered a shorter version of the Birdshooters, which I was told is an archival model (style #S8030-27). And no longer available in the catalog, but can be done via special order.

Inspired by a pair of old Russell boots I saw in Free & Easy, which were made private label for Ralph Lauren.

On that note, what sort of insoles are you using? I've got pretty much the same problem, and I'm looking for an insole that'll take up a lot of volume.
You know I was thinking next time I need some insoles I'll go to Value Village or Salvation Army and find a beat up old thick leather bag and cut 2 insoles out of it...leather really takes the shape of your foot.Just some old pair I had laying around. Don't remember where I got them, but I think it was a local cobbler.
Perfect for a fashionista.
Thank you for the quality insight.I have a pair of cavalier crossovers. I don't like zippers on men's boots. I was very very careful measuring. I have wide feet. They fit amazing out of the box. very comfortable. the ankle strap does a great job stopping heel slip. very thick leather.
I know nothing of gokeys
Those look very nice....many years of comfortable walking.Just got these - a mere four months and 13 days from the date of order. I wanted a black pair to go with my brown Art Carters for everyday wear with khaki's and jeans. However, these are made on their boot last. The more rounded toe fits me better than the narrower toe of their oxfords and chukkas.
They are a 5.5 inch version of the South 40 P.H. over the Vibram Newporter 1/4 wedge sole on a natural oak leather midsole. The leather is black German Elk (just a name - it is cowhide), leather lined in the foot. The eyelet pattern is made to my preference.
The leather is everything I hoped it would be. It has a very deep sheen that does not really show in the photos, but is supple right out of the box.
