Yeah agreed - also agree with @Tenderloin… some of the reviews say that yes these are ‘made in china’ but they are made very well - I’ve got a pair of J Crew Kenton Alden Indy ‘homages’ (lol) and honesty they are excellent… the leather is buttery and they are very comfortable - as I say I’m tempted but I’m trying to make my own shoes and boots from here on out (unless I see something mad cheap in a sale or I want to copy and adapt a pattern etc)
Edit - I need to have a clear out so will list a few pairs of Church’s, C&J, George Cleverley, RM Williams and JM Weston on here later in the week if anyone is interested - maybe a pair of paraboot as well

I really wish companies like this were more up front about country of origin. I couldn’t find anything that stated where they were made, which for a lot of boot people is important. Whereas Grant Stone embraces the fact that their shoes are expertly made in China, these guys seem to be hiding it? The only way I found out that they’re - I assume - made in China - is by doing a domain lookup and finding that they’re based in China.
This is not a dig - some of those boots look great - but just embrace being Chinese instead of hiding it ya know?
