Without knowing too much about boots, I think they look pretty badass. How do you plan on wearing them?

Country lasts are always bigger. You need to have room for thick socks.

I think that with the size of these boots I was not mistaken. Anyway they have not appeared more than I expected... Thanks!

I plan to dress them in a casual set - with jeans or cord trousers. Thanks!

to actually wear these beauties in the country would be... a sin.

very pretty... and so practical for winter and any incremental weather too.. not that i'd blame you for switching to beaters for walking in the rain.

double sole? checked.
storm welt? checked.

looking nice, but i still prefer brogue shoes such as tricker's stow.

Gentlemen, thanks for comments! For me very important your opinion is valid. In Russia (especially in a province where I live) such footwear is unusual. In general the good English footwear in shops is not on sale. Here fashion-models - the Italian footwear (at the best) are very popular, and the majority buys very bad Chinese or Turkish fakes.

Nice find and the Dainite soles are helpful

It's a nice boot. Good for cold winter days' traveling. Working my way into something similar myself. Congratulations on your purchase.

My Dad had a pair that he brought back from England
after World War Two. They were leather soled and completely
water proof. He wore them in the snow for severaL
decades.
