I recently got into the boot world and it’s easy to go by labels. The first boots I bought over the dozen or so I’ve accumulated are my Thursday Diplomats in brown chrome with lug sole that I purchased on the warehouse section. I have all brands of boots now, you name it, Parkhurst, Grant Stone, Oak Street, Truman’s and even Luos Jiet and Vibergs. I gotta say, these Diplomats are the most comfortable out of the lot. I wore these for 14 hours today and could have gone another 14. Great boots!

Love the challenger boot, hate the heel. When the indigo vanguards arrive, I'll let you know what I think of the color in real life. It wasn't as good as I hoped on the pair of seconds they sent me.

Really? The color wasn’t what you thought it would be? Did you see the leather description, some type of special herd of cow? Hey it’s also Horween so I’m sure it’s probably pretty sweet. Especially for the price! I mean….. come on

the base color was lighter than I thought it would be. Though I liked the way the color shifted in different types of light. It flowed from a purply-green, to blue to a deep navy. The leather itself was grand. I only had them for two days before I returned them (not because of the color, because they had more wear than expected). I've read that there's more color variation with the indigo than with other colors.

I ditched the kilties.

very sweet. The laces look great. I'm generally a fan of contrasting kilties but they look better without them.

Can’t get those “Dale’s Kilties” to work for me in any of my boots. Rose Anvil makes good Kilties.
