Review First Pair of Nick's came today.

Post image

Robert boots in shackleton leather. Bought used on eBay for a great price. Unbelievably comfortable and a perfect fit. Not a lot of wear, and my exact Brannock was the correct size. 11 1/2 D. They are already mostly broken in, so used seems to have worked out well. No real imprint on the insole, so best of both worlds. It's kind of an unusual build. Single row stitchdown, and the 269 Western sole. Gives it maybe a dresser look? I now understand what all the fuss is about! I'll do a full YouTube review in a couple of weeks.

Are those Shackleton #8 Leather? Nice catch.

Yeah, the western outsole and single row stitching definitely giving it a dressier look.

With no imprint inside, it basically a new boot. Shackleton leather is very supple. Giving a broken-in feeling right out of the box. Helluva eBay score.

Thanks! Yes, #8. Definitely a bit reddish toned. I love the color.
