Awesome man! Glad you like them. 
I have a black pair that i wear, will be wearing alot more now that winter is upon us here in MI.
With these being work from the first ‘full line’ that i worked on i think you are the first person to legitimately buy a pair of shoes that i designed! At least the first person that isn’t just data on a sales sheet that is, and not including some of my friends that get my samples donated to them 
Might have something for you on the workboot tip come next fall.
