These boots really need their own FrankenShell social media account.

Were these mismatched seconds or something?

If I recall from the original eBay ad correctly it was a customer who MTO’d them with that look in mind a la frankenshell.

that‘s correct, I got them after someone tried to create a Frankenstein, and wore them a half dozen times and moved them on. i think they’re quirky-cool

Almost perfect - wrong size unfortunately.

I think these have actually moved beyond Frankenshell to Frankenshellstitch or Frankenstellch.or.....

Thank you. Sadly not seeing much action in my rotation lately. Damn comfy, though.

My personal opinion on Victoria sole is never again. I dislike them so much I’m considering sending my two pair with that sole to Bedo’s for a proper JR and tip. Or a commando. Just not that damn Victoria. My foul weather boots have the Dainite-ish Carmina-equivalent.

I understand others may like it. But I find it hard as a rock (even after “break in”) and its looks like some ****** 80’s hair band designed a logo and slapped it on the bottom. Same with ridgeway, for that matter. Ug. Ly.

They were actually designed by A Flock of Seagulls

Carmina offers these pair in a dark finished cordovan, anyone know if let’s say Armagnac or bourbon can be ordered dark finished? @Carmina

Chelsea boots.

These look really good! What's the last? And how do you like the overall fit, specifically around the ankle?
