Thanks, Be. I have a hard time deciding between these and my CXL PTB on flex sole for my most comfy.

Your life is so full of difficult choices. Where did get the cxl PTB's?

NeedSupply also sells that makeup, as does Roden Gray. You can't get enough CXL in your life, it's just too freaking comfy!

RG also did a plain toe brown CXL boot that looked amazing, although I think they're sold out.

What kind of experiences has everyone had with the soft calf? It's hard to not go with CXL in a boot, for durability purposes.

Oh wow. Amazing! Never seen them before. I really like the silver buckle. Will have to look closer at the shoe shape.

Epaulet has something similar on order - a navy CXL version of their Innsbruck Indy boot. No estimate yet for when it will arrive though.
