That’s a cool looking boot, particularly the color contrast of the Russett soles and heels with the black leather . I’d say fit pics are definitely in order when you get them :)

Thanks B-man2 and I'll definitely take a pic or two when I get chance. I lost control specc'ing these and the leather is Brian's hand finished horsehide. It should age like these examples

Borrowed a pair of original WWII Russet Service shoes from a collector friend to compare to my repro ATF Services Shoes. I'm no a boot expert, but the originals have finer stitching, thicker soles and a more pronounced cap toe than the repros. I'm perfectly happy with my ATF repros, but cool to compare them to a dead stock pair of originals.
