I am! I am addicted to suede/suede-esque boots. I want to fill up my closet with suede shoes and boots. I was considering grabbing these due to the extra 20% clearance sale AE is having on firsts. Did you see the navy chamois boots on trumans IG today? |

Old26 those do look nice, better in your pics than the others. I know they're roofers boots but I wonder how that came about. Anybody here know?

Did you see the navy chamois boots on trumans IG today? Those look amazing..I might have to grab a pair if they get dropped to their IG. I had to return the Jcrew navy suede boots because they were a half size too small. |

whiskeyriver which roughout boots did you grab? I really want a pair, and I'm considering Truman Coyote Roughouts and the Viberg Boondockers, but I'm not sure I want to spend $700 on a pair of non-shell boots. These. I love them: selvedgestyle.com/post/45419/thread |

Size 27 is left. Which is size 8 American. Which, in this boots, will work for someone who typically wears size 9. This run a full size large. |

Order some MTO from Indonesia. Prices are great, shipping is kind of a bummer, but still sub $300 for somthing handmade is good IMO

They look great, but they're pricier than I remember them being. You might also be remembering them from that USA repro place I'm forgetting the name of. I think we decided the BR's are likely less of a crapshoot than the other place, it should all be documented in that thread, iirc. Edit: the one belopsky linked. |

That navy chamois is nice.
I was seriously considering buying a pair of Quoddy shoes for the summer in green chamois. I was going crazy trying to understand how to care for them and I think I found out that the chamois leather is considered quite durable.

Just an FYI in case anyone isn't familiar, roughout and suede are not the same thing. I know many know this, but thought it worth mentioning for some reason.

The only ones I really like are the Hawthorne Muleskinners, which was what you're talking about right? Others that I think look pretty decent are the Brooks Brothers Iron Rangers. |

I emailed ePaulet asking about that, and they said because they're already heavily oiled, just wipe them down and shoe tree them. |

Roughout is full grain with the rough out, suede is a split, and not full grain leather. They've removed the smooth side of the hide, you get what's left. |

And waxed flesh is waxed roughout. I stay away from suede. I remember trying to keep suede chukka's clean when I was a kid. It was impossible. Always sprayed the hell out of them with that waterproof spray when new. That stuff really stank. |

That stuff really stank. It's actually pretty easy to take care of, or at least not as bad as most people think. Eraser and a good brush does most of the work. |

In keeping with the thread tittle, these are up on ebay in US 11. I really like this build, the same build with all black commando, and the natural build with cispresso.  |
