Just added thin rubber soles to my lightly used Black Box Jumping boots, as advised by the SAs at FSH. All set for Autumn!
Monceau, your mocha jumping boots are gorgeous!
Adding to the fun, here is a pic of my etain jumping boots and etain K35 GHW.
Monceau and VLB, lots of wonderful co-ordination going on in here, my eyes are soothed
Here at Frieze (Masters) art fair in my second pair of Land boots (in Caramel). I bought them last Summer in Nice when it was 32 Celsius outside, and had to wear home coz my suitcase was so full of other H (and other fabulous stuff) 
at least they're not fur-lined like my black box pair, I'd have been a puddle.
They may look shorter than usual because I've folded down my OTK socks over the top of boots.

OMG, I never did that to my etain jumping boots and since I have only worn them once, think that they should go to the cobbler asap. Thanks, periogirl.

You look so chic, and there is no better accompaniment to a fabulous outfit than a fabulous Picasso on the wall! Thank you for sharing both!Here at Frieze (Masters) art fair in my second pair of Land boots (in Caramel).

Does anyone have these? The color listed is "dark brown" but it was originally listed as "Havane." Does not look anything like Havane to me (or Dark brown.)
I am seriously tempted by these, especially with the permabrass hardware...
I'm curious to know if the color in the photo is TTL

I think some people have had gussets put in the calves. I have three pairs and have not had an issue with the calves, but I can tell you that swift is more forgiving than box and my black box pair is tighter in the calf than my mocha box jumping boots, so see if you can try on a few pairs. Being handmade, they do vary both in the foot and the calf.
If you want to stretch a pair, swift will probably stretch without issue, I'm not sure box will stretch.
That's really good to know. I will ask for Swift. Thank you so much! [emoji173]️
:kiss:
I think you can have them stretched but they will give slightly (slightly more if they're not Box) while wearing (around the house at first).
They're certainly not 'dark brown' even their calfskin 'Camel' is darker
I would call/email to make sure, it seems to be an h.com habit to be confusing with the descriptions via pic. They also use 'translations' of colours that are not official even when official colours are so close to the English
If you haven't already bought maybe try the wider-calf version (although they are also slightly shorter in the shaft)
I had both of my box pairs stretched just to get them over my calves with tights on. The cobbler stretched one pair twice, but he did a little at a time and would only do them twice for fear of damaging the leather.

I have the same pair! They look fantastic on you! So comfortable, and I always get compliments on this color and the Poivre grey pair.
