Had pretty much forgotten about my Zerrows chukkas in natural CXL

Looks great! Thinking about getting a pair myself but noticed there are 2 Zerrow lines (Zerrow custom and Boneakers), are there any other differences besides the Boneaker line being Goodyear welted?

I’m not sure. These are the boneakers line I believe. The quality is faultless. I’d imagine the custom line would be more like a PNW build but probably with a higher standard of finish

That’s great to hear! I sent them a dm on IG about leather options before I commit to a pair

Those look good. I saw a pair recently with the worst creasing I've ever seen on a pair of horsebutt boots

Good leather on both 👍🏻

I already knew from trying on a friend's small clinch collection that I need to go .5 up from brannock, but otherwise this coulda been a sizing disaster haha. They are very good, there's no denying it. But I really think people should try em on first as its just so different too fit wise.

That's a good point on the try on part

 

[Drextech]

Thats maybe the most difficult part. To try on. Normally you dont have any chance to do that. Only if a friend has them. They are sold out immediately and there was no drop of them in past months.
The roughout Yeagers are not that tight, the brown hb as well. Roughouts also stretch a lot. From horsebutt you cant expect any stretch.

Never thought I’d actually be a monkey boot guy, but these have become a favorite pair. Visually look narrow, but wear similar and comfortably as Indy boots.
