Late to this party, but definitely go with the bronze calf.Okay, in a bit of a dilemma here. So Meet the Hand is running two Kentmeres with no MTO upcharge in the month of July. Both are 360 degree storm welt and on ridgeway soles. The first offering is Walnut CC with gold buckle and the 2nd is in Bronze Antique Calf with brushed buckle. I'm really drawn to the Bronze because it's unique and I don't have any EG shoes/boots in the leather but feel that it's not rugged enough for the rest of the boot. On the other hand, the Walnut CC will be perfectly rugged but I already have brown Utah Galways, which I feel overlap quite a bit with the CC plus as I'm sure a lot of us do, I just own a lot of freaking brown boots. Anyway, am I overthinking the calf being less substantial and that it may look good with a bit of a beating on it or will I be resigned to not wear them in the rain and such due to the nature of the leather making the rest of the features of the boot pointless?
