So aside for Shell's material qualities or gimmicky status

DWF has concurred that Shell (at least modern batches of Horween) has a Grain layer.

That aside, has anyone tried this fellas from our indon neighbours? USD 135 only I'm going to take a plunge into it

I ordered and received 2 pairs of boots. MTO.

Quality is good, but welt is very thick. Maybe because I ordered both pairs in storm welt; 1 pair in goodyear and the other pair in Veldtschoen. storm welt has additional charge of 50,000 IDR

Each pair of boots comes with 3 pairs of laces in different colour. The insole is very good.

Mine was less than USD$135. Maybe price has increased, maybe because I bought 2 pairs or maybe because I paid in IDR.

Wow less than $135 USD for MTO boots is great value.

If only their site show the different type of boots and last.
