@Razorhog I hear they’re working on a how to care for your belt video and will be showing what they recommend for treating the double stuff.
The leather is so supple as is. I’d be worried about conditioning it and end up with a floppy belt.

do we really need a how to care for your belt guide? it's a belt...I have leather belts with 10+ years of wear on them that feel as nice as when I got them.

@suedefetish I never do anything with mine I work construction. Enough of my sweat soaks into belts to keep them spry. But some boot fans are obsessed with how to care for anything. So yes I’m sure a video will be made.

If you don’t need it, don’t watch it. I think a how-to video on how to clean/condition natural double stuffed leather would be very helpful.

you guys are something else

In addition, it would be cool to see a video highlighting finished boots in wicket and Craig leathers. I know there is a short video on utube about the difference in tanages, but the video left me wanting more.

Loving the beeswax edge and honey lug combo. Very nice.

Looks really proportional, and I could see these beign popular, but as a personal preference I would prefer the normal high heel.

I recently got a pair of Builderpro on 11067 last with the regular tall heel, and they are really comfortable to me, so I probably wouldn't go for the moderate heel.

There's actually a pair of Domepros 55 last in the RTS with 10% off which are very tempting... But two reasons I didn't snatch them up are that I would prefer a 10" tall boot, and I want the tall heel, not the lowered one on this pair.

But I also could see how some people might prefer the moderate heel stack: different strokes for different folks.

Not a fan of the moderate heel. Much prefer the full taller heel.
