“Coming soon”

Japanese centric releases? Not sure what this means. Any guesses?

creepers and lace to toes and hikers

Probably. A lot of the chunkier styles, maybe with sprung toes a la the 310 last and Vibram mini-ripples. That kind of hard-core workwear is really only a sub-niche in the US but I think it's still going strong in Japan.

The leather is thinner than I expected. More like horsehide than Horsebutt. Not complaining though. If it was thick as the Horween Horsebutts that I have it’d behard to walk in them.

Anyone in here own ropers? Can I size same as my 2030?

I take the same size, a full size down on the Brannock on both for me. I did find them slight bit shorter then the 2030 though. Despite this they still fit well. Ironically, I have a pair of black rough out Ropers from 3sixteen for sale...

Ordered those teacore boots on Wednesday and Viberg still hasn't shipped. Getting me nervous they ran out.

That’s what I’ve been eyeing... size 7 though?
