@Nik any updates on these?

Final pictures of the dome coming in a couple weeks, then judging and winners should be announced mid April. So many amazing pairs of boots in the contest. I'll share my final pics, here are some from last month.

@kkibbey23 Those got better and better. Well worn.

Shined up my black pair for pictures. Will do the suede pair later today. Both boots were fun to wear throughout the contest. The suede have a more glove-like close and soft fit, while the black feel more structured. The black sole developed a squeak. The leather soles besides that were light and comfortable, although Idid have some slippery moments. The wide toe last on these was the big advantage, as they are very comfortable.

@Nik those are great! Can’t wait to see the other pair. Was one more of a default pair than the other?I found 2 pairs hard to do, but in hindsight I kinda wish I stuck with the capt toe pair also. Oh well, next year
-
Will photo the suede pair tomorrow when it is not raining. The suede got worn slightly more than the black but I tried to rotate them pretty equally. The suede edged the black because I was dressing more casually during most of the contest (unlike now when the black pair is fitting in better) and because the black developed a squeak.

@Nik how did you size the alan boots compared to Red Wing or Lofgrens? I saw them on sale for a interesting price and maybe give them a try...

These Nicks Stationmasters in Wickett and Craig, Double Stuff Natural ended up taking the Peoples Choice Award in the “Work Dome” This is now 10 months worth of wear. The top lifts are getting to the point where they need to be replaced but other than that, still going strong.
