I could not be happier with my oiled Latigo Carver boots. The leather is beautiful. They are heavy and robust, with a deep pull-up effect. Over time, they are sure to develop an amazing patina. The detail is top-notch--the stitching is clean and accurate.
Unlike the picture, my boots have Vibram's version of the Ridgeway-style sole rather than a Dainite sole, which makes me very happy because I prefer the Ridgeway style.
These are my new favorite boots.
It is a pleasure to work with Kevin at Caswell. He is very responsive.
