I've got two pairs of Lennon boots (waxy tan 78s and B5) and a pair of their cycling shoes; I think they're all great, and will probably get another pair when I'm looking for another pair of casual/work boots. The lead times are a bit annoying, but it does mean that you can have any custom changes made at minimal cost. I think Lennon do take a bit more care over the shoes they make for other brands; the finishing on their own stuff is sometime a bit rough and ready. OTOH you're basically getting workwear that hasn't really changed in a century, so these aren't refined pieces of footwear, and after a month or two's wear you don't notice any blemishes anyhow. In any case they're cracking VFM.
I am tempted by these
IIRC the company is part owned by Brant who set up Planet X and the boots are also made by William Lennon.
