To Soul shoes & NZ Post - i commend both.
McKinlay Beaumonts - to me, are : Robust, Comfortable and
Beautiful. Integral components and construction, leather & rubber
in substance , not a purport.
I like high cut boots for the rigour's of outdoor life, these measure 190mm
from ground to top cuff. Break in was not too hard, i use beeswax & tallow for dressing & buff with a camel hair brush, over time these boots will develop a patina, but are still too precious, to me, for the rough.
I am size 10 but got a 10.5 cos an ocean exists between our countries, but
size 10 will be fine for my next pair.
These Beaumont's have style & grace and quietly reflect a thoroughness
of thought & function, to endure - like the maker, or anyone , projects
into their creative endeavours.
Kudos.
