Right, I guess HIS will look different? Considering not all of us are able or willing to post pictures upon request, sometimes it's best to also search around for the alternative. I believe there may also be another picture of a member wearing them with jeans so if you search around you might find it. Otherwise, assuming you wanted an idea of what these would like paired with jeans in general, you have a start. Good luck on your special quest.

Just got my Katahdins today. I ordered the size 11 and 10.5 and found the 10.5 slightly better overall. This is my dress shoe and Clark DB size but the boots are very snug. If I were to wear thick winter socks the 11 would be better. Unfortunately though I have to return them, the glue around one of the toe caps wasn't cleaned off very well and when I pressed on the top of the shoe there is separation in the cap area - pretty sloppy construction. The other 3 shoes were fine and did not have this problem.

They came out of the box looking pretty scuffed up, just like the picture on the last page showed. Not a big problem since it's been said that Obenaufs fixes that issue. Before I purchased I didn't like the bottom eyelets which are not the traditional round. However in person I like it the way they are, the brass is rustic and manly looking so it's ok. Comfort was ok but needs a little breaking in. I like the style overall, looked pretty good with jeans but I might not need them afterall since I just ordered the Wolverine Montgomery's. Hopefully they are as good as I'm expecting with no defects.

How 'bout these. I think I might like them even better than last year's.

definitely not feeling those at all.

Zippers on shoes just looks weird to me.

H! I think those are freaking awesome... what are they?

***Nice Collective

A bit pricey but i really dig em.

Out of my price range unfortunately.

^They look as cheaply made and mass-produced as they are.

I saw those in person at a Nordstrom's Rack. Avoid at all costs. They look and feel very ****** and cheap.

Just an update: After trying a couple things (and failing) to get the dried glue off around the toe cap I went to the shoe store and bought a suede bar. This is basically like a pencil eraser but is bigger and harder to buff off stains and things that are stuck on suede without ruining the material. This ended up working like a charm, it took about 20 minutes working very slowly but the boots are good as new.

There is still a bit of separation on the sides of the toe cap where they didn't even bother putting glue. However, since the cap is double stitched I think it will be ok. I checked the other 3 shoes and if you press all the way around the toe cap they also separate in the same area but not quite as much as mine did.

Still some pretty lazy construction on their part, but I guess for $160 you can't expect perfection. I'll try to get some before & after Obenauf treatment pics next week.

Katahdins are leather, not suede right?
