I haven’t worn mine yet, I picked up the NST & the Cap-toe and am very pleased with both. I really wish that Caper green was available when I ordered. They came on the ROD last with their Ultraflex system. I wear a UK8.5 on all of their lasts I own, but I got feedback from many that the ROD last fits large so I went with a UK8. Unfortunately with the Ultraflex inserts they are too tight for my foot. Had I ordered my normal size, I believe they would have fit really well with the Ultraflex system. I do get a really good fit when I remove the Ultraflex inserts. The problem is the soles don’t have sock liners, so the heel hardware is visible and would ultimately irritate my heel if worn as they are. Once I install sock liners I’ll wear them quite a lot I think, they seem quite rugged and remind me of roughout suede.anyone has photos of the Waxy shell cordovan photos??

I agree, I should have taken my normal UK8.5.My experience with the ROD last and ultraflex shoes is that I ordered my usual size (UK9) and found them to be very snug when they first arrived. I was actually a bit worried that I should have gone 0.5 of a size up, to UK9.5.
However, after just 1-2 wears, the ultraflex innersole shaped to my foot and the shoes softened up and they became an excellent fit. If I'd ordered half-a-size larger, they'd be much too large.
So my advice - based, of course, on my own personal experience and bearing in mind that all our feet are different - is to take the same size on the ROD last as you usually take.
No chukka’s, but I did pick up their stitch down plain toe, in Havane hatch grain. Beautiful leather!Anybody got pictures of the Horween Havane Hatch Grain Chukka Boots? Never had hatch grain before
Would you say it is a casual leather only or able to dress up a bit? Also, is the colour almost a cognac? How is hatch grain?No chukka’s, but I did pick up their stitch down plain toe, in Havane hatch grain. Beautiful leather!

Of course it’s going to depend largely on the style of the shoe, but I feel like it is a versatile leather. In terms of color, cognac is one of those colors that’s as debated about as whiskey. I would say both of those images were taken in outside, daylight conditions, so it’s kind of there for you to decide. The hatch is quite deeply stamped, you can see around the toe where it was lasted, it’s still apparent.Would you say it is a casual leather only or able to dress up a bit?
