Quick shot of the "new" 10 FRs that arrived Friday.

Date stamp indicates a build date in 2018.

Two quick coats of Obenauf's oil, a LTT distressed tongue, new laces and wearing them all weekend.

These will be dedicated warm-weather property/working boots and am very happy with the purchase.

Cheers,

I want to see everybody’s favorite pair of whites boots. I’m trying my best to put in a order this weekend so they arrive just in time for fall but I honestly have no clue what to order. People say the MP boot is “thick or bulbous” but I would think the 55 arche ease last would be even bigger?

These are my MP’s (when new). Not bulbous, but not exactly elegant either. They are on the 5050 last.

Nice ! I have a 350 cruiser and I think that boot is “big” if I buy a MP I’m assuming it would be slimmer and sleeker in profile?
Just checked it out. Yeah, since it’s the 55 last, the 5050 will be slimmer in the front. Mine have a soft toe, which contribute to that as well.
