trw999 - Not quite. Definitely not at all like the first - there's not an inch of cordura, all leather.

More like the second, but without a zipper or "tightening strap" up top.

Very interesting to see these boots being made and marketed in the UK. Thanks very much for sharing.

Now if I ever need to replace mine I'll know where to go. I haven't been too "gentlemanly" in the treatment of mine, but they're still rock solid, admittedly with some scuffed up leather. Great product.
