Got these in the mail today...

The brown pair are horsehide and the black pair are domain. I think both pairs look fine...

But I am sure I would have been happier if nicks had not forgotten to build the toe without the celastic caps.

Their horsehide is good. I heard they use horsestrip from horween...Whites use the same leather on bakers' HH SDs.
I waited 22 weeks for my pair. I hope you will receive yours quicker!

Great, I put one in two weeks ago.

Guess they are in the middle of moving to a new location and expanding.

These look fantastic- congrats!!! Did you provide Nick's the buckles or did they have them in stock?

To your point on no celastic; I know soft toe is all the rage but I'm not sure it works on a bump toe last such as was used for these engineers. But then again I think these look spot on as is :)

What would you all recommend for a police boot?

I live in Indiana so I have all seasons. Black is a must. I'm still young and get into foot pursuits so something that I can run in is a must.

I wear class A uniforms most of the time so something that looks good is nice, too.

Thanks!

Thanks b-ewing.

Yes I provided the buckles as well as the HRS' and heel caps.

Other details that set my pairs apart from the stock 55E renegade are the pointed strap end and the triple stitched vamp and heel counter...
