Someone got a hell of a steal on em if they are shell. I was thinking French calf, but that does have the rather unmistakable glow of shell…

@JCMx800:

Whites Boots 6" Cougar, Black Rough Out, silver hardware, single midsole, halfslip, standard welt, and Giles personal favorite 2021 Vibram Sole 

Ok, those are very narrow and it looks like I cant make them work for me

[pillowPANTS]

What size?

[JCMx800]

US 8.5 E, but its pretty narrow, more a "roomy in the toe-box" 8.5 D.

[pillowPANTS]

Shitty. Think an 11 will squeeze in there lol

[irishexpat]

^ Nice straight forward choice Urb, cool. Pleased with the choice of leather, why'd you choose it?

[Cutlasshound]

Thanks man. I have a bunch of the leather swatches laying around. After fiddling with them for awhile the Otter seemed to be fairly sturdy but also still malleable like CXL. As far as the CXL upper, I'm sure you can attest to how easily it conforms to your foot/ankle. I feel like it's the best of both worlds. I like getting a durable leather for the toe/heel and getting the soft CXL for the upper.

Very nice Shane, they look like a real all occasions boot.

[EastWest]

Good thinking, been debating a black otter build and it's good to see it on a boot, it feels nicely hardy. The black edge looks great. Look forward to seeing how they take shape.

love that shane.. Ill go with leather laces for a more rugged look. Either way its a winner..

[JCMx800]

They are nice!!! Would go with the leather laces

[4c]

^ Yes, very nice build!  also leather laces look pefect IMO.

[madmonday]

nice images of a great build. black is a b!tch to capture & looks as if you did a wonderful job.

i would go with option # 3

flat black waxed laces. it would suit the boot better than the leather or the round boot laces. . . . at least until they get all scuffed up, then the leather laces are the way to go

[urbanwoodsman]

On the look out for some other black laces. I'm not a fan of either of these. I wish they would send black leather laces with black boots.
