It’s probably inevitable that I try Union boots someday, but the Reset Pro may be one of the uglier boots I’ve ever seen. Since the “frame” is part of the design story, I’m sure that mold will be used for the next couple years of the model. I was told that they’re meant to last much longer and stand up to abuse better than the average boot. If that’s really the case, I’ll wait for a more appealing aesthetic. Looking forward to reading early reviews.

Same. If they have a decently reduced footprint and wide toe box, I’m in.

The T-Rice, when it comes to market will have the wide toe box just like his DC model did.

Hoping they will have an adaptable heel thing, so it's not too tight before adding stuff.

Hopefully the overall fit is more or less the same, because his boot & the transcend are one of the best fitting I've ever tried. Hopefully they're a little stiffer than the transcend.

the "frame", in the black colour is not so obvious, tho

I think you know this, but just reiterating. Softer boots will always fit better than stiff boots. So if they make it a tad stiffer, it may not fit quite the same.
They did make at one time a stiffer boot, I had it one season and I can say this from experience It doesn't fit quite as well.
There is still some new old stock of it floating around out there.

First version of the union boot is very stiff. I mean 10/10 and quite heavy as well.
