Today we present to you the first pair of boots we created. Modeled after a vintage US Army boot and finished on the1000 last. Soft and supple Italian grain leather in beautiful brown hue (we have more of the leather from MTO ) The shoes were made for Patrick of @tichoblancoshoes who kindly sent us the pictures he recently took. What are your impressions?
Giving the boots a second look, I probably would have gone with a more aggressive sole (Dainite, Ridgeway, etc,).
Furthermore, although it would alter the look somewhat, I would have selected speed hooks. Mostly for my ease of use as opposed to anything functional.
That aside, it is a fantastic looking boot. Based on the overall aesthetic of the boot, an individual can go in several directions in terms of leather color and texture whilst maintaining the feel of a military boot.
