While your tuxedo footwear are nice, Spoo, they aren't bal boots.Originally Posted by Orgetorix

Don't want to crap on your fs item, but I'm trying to come up with an occasion to which to wear these... still drawing blanks.
I guess the uppers are extremely weather-resistant, so they would work as a bad-weather boot?

Dude, I have no idea. They are cool in an extremely S&M kind of way. Maybe a bondage ball in the middle of winter?

Thank you.
Excellent, thank you! I'm thinking punch toe, no medallion, black or dark brown calf, dainite sole for mine. I'm hoping they do do it to exclusive standards as I was quoted around £400 as opposed to £650 for hand grades. It'll probably be a bit more since it's a boot, but I'm hoping to cobble together enough to order it for this fall or winter.Originally Posted by Marcellionheart
I'd like something very similar. Dark brown calf or cordovan (if I can persuade Chay), punched cap, no medallion, dainite sole, extra-wide or bellows tongue, and about two inches taller than this one -- rain sometimes slips in between the boots and my rain pants.

I'm making up some bal boots with dark brown calf on the bottom and suede on top. I already specified that I would like the metal rings behind the eyeholes so they are not visible.
Should I opt for speedhooks? I have no past experience with hook-free boots.

Depends on the look you want. I personally feel that speed hooks are too casual for balmoral boots. I get hidden eyelets.
