Crockett & Jones' boot Snowdon: This Boot is a veltdshoen, a field boot that has the most waterproof construction in traditional shoe making. Equiped with a Comnando Sole: Ready to conquer Mount Snowdon ... and the urban jungle 😀 And it smells like leathe...  

by Daniel Craig. Looks also good but I stuck to the original brown model. Boots are not really formal wear anyway.

These boots were also featured in "How to spend it" ... what a name ... I always laugh ny head of ... "How to spend it" 😆😆😆

... I had this on my mind: Burbbery Prosum Line espresso lamb suede trench coat with black shearling collar , from 2012. I know that I am showing off a bit😀. But Bestaff is also good ...  

The best dressed Count in town 🥂

Black is just too.... well, black. Brown the way to go!

Tried the black, at the time because Now mit available in black anymore, on: Just black, nothing more 😀.

Lovely country style boots, too. I am not sure if Heschung does veldtshoen construction: The upper leather is not stiched inside onto the welt, but folded outside and lies therefore ontop of the welt, ob the surface.

Just what I need for the coming weekend in Yorkshire! Credit: C&J website ...  

Try them on at a C&J boutique: top quality boots.

This is a pair of boots by Corcoran. The original “Jump boots” used by Airborne Forces in WW2. Half the fun is high polishing the toe-cap. ...  

Did not know about that Maker, which is a "serious" militarry boot maker. Nice brouging and colour but a bit too serious for my taste.

I am partial to the Coniston, which is a bit more civilized, but the veldtschoen construction of the Snowdon is better suited to a rugged use in the countryside (if one doesn't want to wear wellies). As for people asking why not black, the answer is: this... 

Very good answer in favour of brown. Conistons are beautiful too but remind me still of millitary boots, albeit very, very slightly only. The veldtshoen construction was one strong reason to pick this Snowdon. Edward Green makes also a lovely veldtshoe na... 

My reserve, still unworn pair made on 202 last with a thick double leather sole (oak bark tanned leather, I think): And the very well worn, nearly in daily rotation pairs: These Edward Greens are my favorite shoes, hence in almost daily rotation. Regardin...  

Just oozes with style. Your beautiful green Greens remind me to wear my green Santonis more often. Have a great weekend! Daniel

I have a pair of Swansea and a pair of Finsbury. Very good shoes. Enjoy

if I am not wrong but one has got a Dainite sole and the Finsbury a leather sole. Smart choices!

Classic and timeless. Great choice. Brown or black, both are great colors. Thanks for sharing.

I can see you also wearing them.

Bought 8 years ago. Very tough for snow and ice, albeit a bit heavy due to the thick rubber soles. They definately have a place in the wardrobe. I also have the "Skyefall" but they dont have the same grip on ice and snow.

Looking forward to my experience to have the Snowdon boots worn eight years 👍

They patinate really well but do NOT use regular shoe polish. You need a special grease for this leather. This is completely transparent and the leather will look nice with all the little blemishes and scratches. You need to be tough on these boots and th... 

I was also thinking to ask C&J for shoe care for these particular boots. I use a cream for my bicycle sadle from Brooks (it is basically one piece of leather) a clear, soft cream. It melts at body temperature and makes the sadle soft and repellent. Maybe ...  

I will have a look in my polish box tomorrow and get back with the product I’m using.

I have a watch fetish and I have a shoe fetish. I’m just wondering when I should “come out of the closet” with it. 😁 😂
