No apology needed, and your boots look great.

Urb, you need style to make the cuban heel work, I can see why you're not a fan

I've mostly been posting on superfuture, I need to get more active here. Here's a few shots of mine HWB-03, from new until now. I've worn them everyday for about a month, two conditionings, and a light polish with kiwi neutral. They've taken on an unintentional two tone look, that I can't explain. (But I like it.) They get shoe trees, and a solid brushing every night. They are my favorite, most comfortable boot ever. The double mid soles add a lot to the comfort and support. I've averaged 12-14 hours of wear each day. I'm going to Atlanta, and will be on my feet walking a show hall for 3 days. I'm not even worried about my feet hurting.

They even got a bit bloody at an accident scene(I wrote about it as my "denim angel" challenge entry on superfuture, pic is from the local paper…I'm in the green t-shirt...I stopped by the victim's workplace to see if I could find out how he was doing(I hope he kept his left foot, as it was partially amputated in the crash)

How they are as of last night's polish and brushing:

congrats on your bravery and civil courage highvoltage. well done. and of course nice boots

yours looking great Mild7

[Bums_Fan]

High voltage, nice looking boots!  I have the same exact two tone thing going on with my Whites.  The medallion toe caps on my Britsh Tan Semi-Dress boots are much darker than the rest of the boot.  Doesn't look bad to me either, but it does make wonder why the difference???

Yes.

[tigerpac]

Nice.  When did you order Jestre?

Almost 8 weeks ago on the dot.

[sirxlaughs]

Update on my White's. I wore them for about 3 weeks straight before the weather got a bit too warm in NYC to lug these around. These are before getting them cleaned up and a treatment of obenauf's lp in preparation for some hiking. After pics coming soon.

Post obenauf's lp treatment - they darkened up a lot:

How good is obenauf's? This good:

After a mild walk in the woods today and some goofy "tests", it's obvious these will make a superb hiking boot.

[Snowy]

Great obenauf's test too!

[Mild7]

Must try obenauf's some day.  Snowseal has always been good to me though.
