Wee bit o sign..wet as water here today!

Looking great CC .

Wore my zug Grassmere this morning, three miles in rain . I really appreciate the change to a leather and rubber cover sole combo .

Tricker's x Division Road Bronze Unicorn Dean Boot today. A few cosmetic QC issues that bug me a bit but these will get beat up and I won't care.

Now if only we could get such collaborations in the UK, I’m sure retailers would get greater interest as they’d be unique styles. Great looking boots

Exactly. Bums on ?

nice!
how are those? I’ve been curious about the leather for a while.

nice!

The elk is really supple and soft, yet substantial. It has a waxy, pull-up feel to it. I have no idea how to care for it though. These fit me great and should require minimal break-in. I'm barely a 9 on the Brannock, and wear an 8 in Viberg 2030. These are slightly roomier IMO. Really cool grain in the leather, sort of a black whiskering in places (like shown on Stitchdown.com) - I wish there was more of it!

Unusual choice of sole for a tramping shoe with closed channels.

Nice shoes, are they C Shade Gorse?

Hi, I have been away for a year or so. Trying to reduce my temptations which were getting expensive. I am prompted to post as I have just seen that my design for some Zug Loggers has been dug up. I have not examined the full history of posts but was there an outcome with Trickers as to whether they could be made?

When I mocked up the images, it was on the back of a conversation with David in the Trickers shop. I was trying to get hold of some Skiptons when the subject of the Veldt welt came up. I asked whether they still had the capability and he said yes. And confirmed they would be happy to take a Veldt MTO order from me. So rather than just recreate the Skiptons, I thought I would try to get some Zug loggers off the ground.

If someone could post an update I would be grateful. I would certainly be up for a pair. (I would have joined a Zug Snowdon MTO but they always specify a faux toecap stitch. I have some very early Snowdons that have a faux cap and it is through the faux stitch that they leak on long walks in wet grass (why have a stitch line where you do not need one. I digress)

Thanks in advance.

The faux toe cap seems to divide people. Most of the classic veldt boots/shoes have it which seems strange if it is to the detriment of water resistance.

Would any stitched seam not be equally as prone to water ingress? vamp seam for example.

I personally like the look of the faux toe cap but would do without if I knew it would let water in.

I'm fairly sure my Rannoch boots have never leaked at the toe cap stitching and haven't put my Snowdon zug's to the test yet..

Liked your zug logger design by the way!
