what is feathering at the ball mean? and diff between the Vibram vs Danite?

When EB is lasting the shoe, they give me a little bump out in the ball of the foot area, to help with my slightly wideish foot in that area.

Diff between the two soles is they are two diff brands.

Just an amazing boot. You and @stephenaf2003 are great enablers, I mean inspirations, for someone like me who's relatively new to quality footwear. I know Balway has been around for a bit, but after seeing your boots I think I too need a pair of shell Balway! This is my next target, along with a pair of Galways (but willing to wait a bit longer for the EG, as I have a bigger weakness for shell)

Dog Dammit.

I’ve never been the biggest fan of color four, but those are just insane.

Too bad I’m broke right now. I could really use a shell Boneway in my life.

Aren’t they, EB has an aesthetic that fits me perfectly, every boot I have from them is just special. This is my first go at #4 and I’m in love with the color.
