mostly in behalf of their wide & short legs?

in germany they are known as "capri-hosen", commonly worn by elderly pensioneers in combination with beige reporter-vests.

sorry for the joke! you could try denim, corduroy or hopsack with these nice but rough boots.

In the pictures I'm sitting and also the trousers are being a little pulled up for better showing boots and socks, they are actually even a bit too long.

As I already said, I'm planning to wear the boots with cord trousers as the autumn arrives.

Look nice. How's the comfort and support for daily walking? From what I've seen, it looks like a more flexible construction, i.e. thin leather midsole compared with the Greenflex. In addition to the more classic desert boot last.

thank you @Jabs20 !

they are indeed very comfortable, the two-pieced sole construction is much more flexible compared to the one-piece sole of the brownflex. as unlined simple desert boots they donˋt provide any support.

don't look bulbous,
montflex or brownflex?

Just the angle. They are the Greenflex and they are bulbous.

Here is a side-by-side of the Brownflex (l) and a pair of Cammello Greenflex (r) which I had to return because they were too small in a Size 10 US and a bit too large in Size 11 US. (as I experienced in the Stone colorway pictured in my previous post).
