      @Matty123:

      @Giles have you received your romeo’s yet?

      Yes, and they are great lookers.

      They are really hard for me to get on (like, I can't), due to my ridiculously high instep.  I've also got some damage to my left-hand big toe (falling down a set of steps when wearing neoprene booties on a wet boat in rolling seas)….

      Thanks @kkibbey23 !
      I get them photographed tomorrow, but prob not on my feet!!!!

      Damn dude. Well I hope your toe heels up.
      Do you have the custom last made? If so I would think that would help the high instep issue.  But mAybe not…..
      Looking forward To seeing photos of them regardless. Mine have a lot of
      Miles on them already. The raptor sole is ridiculously comfortable.

      Maybe so. Maybe not

          I def had issue with the instep at first… it was snug. And coincidentally I had an ingrown toe nail  week after I received them and I couldn’t wear them... so maybe when you “heel” up you can get them on! Here’s to hoping!

          Maybe so. Maybe not

                  Ive got a feeling I'll be pre ordering one of the makeups they just announced on Instagram. Originally I was thinking I wanted a custom hendrik in olive or slate or something but…

                  Essex looks like such a cool leather and I have a feeling it will be a patina monster...

                  I cant get over those Hendriks[emoji7]

                    I'm kinda liking the Robert William shoe with the brown pebble (last image) from the Shoemaker collection. It's weird and cool at the same time…

                                  Some killer builds in here lately. Those Morrison are killers @Palmer

                                  @appfaff are those Warrens?

                                    @YesBlank Congrats on the pickup! Looks really great.

                                    If I lived within driving distance to Wesco it would be a serious problems for my wallet. Just saying.

                                      @appfaff are those Warrens?

                                      No, they are a pretty unique custom combo project I did with @Alex [emoji41][emoji41][emoji41]

                                      Take a Foot Patrol add full built out boss toe, 705 outsole, double mids, extra heel lift, smooth out heel pull and tongue, rough out uppers, custom stitching compared to normal FP.

                                      It was my “Boondocker for a Beefcake” project and oh so comfy thanks to the wide toe and extra lift.

                                          Thanks man, yeah, major toe action going on!

                                          I’d redo the build with single midsole and no bump

                                            Ha those double mids take some serious break in. My Jobmasters still barely flex (just enough to walk comfortably), even after a few years now.

                                            The toe bump will break down with time though. The double celastic in my Warrens is pretty soft now and mishapen. Though that was kinda my idea in building a work boot with the bump
