Yeah, I read that article as part of my initial research before deciding to buy. Great piece of work, so it is. Do you see what I mean about those welts? Very heavy stitching and the brass screws can clearly be seen. No-one is going to convince me that a pair of Trickers or Crockett & Jones at way over twice the price can really be as solid as those. More elegant perhaps and better looking to some but for tough, no-nonsense, hard wearing boots the William Lennons are incredibly hard to beat. I'll upgrade this thread with pictures of mine as soon as I can.
