^^ I'd love to see more photos of these Usung's...

I recall talking with them at Bootcamp, they were (as I recall) "wearing" their display - unique boots on each of them that they had crafted themselves.

John Lofgren USN N-1 Field Shoes aka Boondockers are my newest pair to arrive. I was between sizing on these since I Brannock 10 D, but wear 9 D in the Lofgren engineers, however I chose to do 9.5 D in these and I am happy I did as I wanted more room with the ability to tighten the laces down if need be. They fit better each day now.

I accidentally got a drop of leather dye on the toe of my left Corcoran tanker, so I decided to just go ahead and dye the toebox heel counter and edge of the outsoles.

They look better in person, but they'll really look great once they fully dry and the color evens out.
I got a little on some unintended edges here and there, but I never baby my boots so it won't be long before that's irrelevant and unnoticeable.

Here’s the Army equivalent JL Service Boot. Also just a few weeks, but already one of my faves.

Still can’t really see the difference between the Boondockers and mine (I know it’s a different last), but great boots for sure!
