Folks,
I want to review the situation so that everybody that is interested understands what's going on with the boot project and where it stands. I know everyone is anxious to see the prototype (due to the pms and e-mail that I'm receiving) as am I, but I need everyone to stay frosty.
The prototype is in its final stage, pictures will be forthcoming (as I get them you will get them). I will not be the deciding factor on how they look or how accurate they are, I will take all suggestions/ideas that are put forth (within reason) and submit them to the maker.
I am not taking orders, sizes or even putting a list of buyers together to broker a deal with the bootmaker. If you choose to order boots after they are ready for retail sale than that's your call, but I am not the "middle man". I just wanted a pair of accurate boots, provided the research info, le tthe maker know there was a fairly large group of folks interested and have acted as a POC so that the maker was not bombarded with requests on the same project.
Again, as I get new information I will continue to update the first post.
