STYLE winter boots - waterproof, warmish, decent looking

[Specialist23]

Any recommendations on waterproofing? Anyone tried nikwax?

I think I need to sell my cigar captoe boots they just don’t fit right.

I only know suede, where Tarrago seems to be the darling.

yeah my barrie size is 8.5D/E or 9D/E depending on socks and if they're boots/shoes.

these are a 8E and i just dont wear them enough because my toes start to hurt after a while I loved those boots but my foot has flattened out enough that they just dont work. Going to list them for around 800 and see what happens. I doubt ill get anywhere near that, but you never know.

What material, and do you mind if it darkens there material afterwards?

Scrub 'em a bit with a damp microfiber, drop a bit o'Saphir cordovan cream on them and brush - $800 no problem.

I'll give you $200 and a reach-around tug

 

[Lit Wick87]

probably going to list these meermins too. they fit, but holy shit do they hurt after an hour or so.

Shame. If it makes you feel better it's been 16 days without a word from MMM.

Saw your post about your carminas. I think I’ll go that route when I went to heal the pain.

 

[Lit Wick87]

You’re never going to see those shoes. The owner is DEAD

 

[El Slotho]

We should all be so lucky.

These are interesting. Not a $1300 gamble I'd take, but interesting nonetheless.

Been wearing the 2030s enough recently to start wanting a pair in shell again, but no way I'm playing the waiting game bullshit so no bourbon or glazed natural for Slotho.

The Dainite on these is just about toast. Has anyone had their Vibergs resoled? Is Viberg the only option to get the doublestitching done correctly?

 

[firemunki]

saw an email on those drywear print vibergs last week, but those are definitely way too busy/flashy for me. With the amount that I rotate through shoes, I'd expect it to be many years before I need a viberg resoled, so I'm no help there

 

[El Slotho]

Also, if anyone wants one of the baddest short wing boots ever made, these UK10 E / US 11 D whiskey shell C&J Lindricks are on SF:

I love 'em. Not enough to buy them as I'm over the decorated shoe/boot thing, but they are supremely badass.

Let’s see the bottom of those. Mine have hundreds of miles on them and are nowhere near bottoming out any of the divots.

Word. The toes are pretty dragged, and the nibs are all worn down flush with holes save for the last row. Heels are surprisingly not bad for their age but for some reason my heels never get super worn.

I can probably get away with one or two more seasons, but I'd love nice fresh new bright doublestitch threads up top.

 

[El Slotho]

Well alright alright alright. Just went to SF to start the process of buying those Lindricks and they were sold.

Thank fucking God.

Mine look the same. We’re good brother. We’re good.

Word, thanks U. I'll give it to the end of next season before revisiting them thangs.

The one thing that is terrifying about danite is when you walk on a white stone/tile surface.
So damn slippery I really want to cut some grooves between the pads with a dremel or something and see how it goes

 

[Lit Wick87]

My pair of Truman’s I ordered have two different color threads for the double stitch. I think they look really nice. Something to think about if you ever redo yours

Oh snap, you might be on to something! Dainite with siping could be the new marble-office-foyer friendly darling!

Yo @kwhitelaw do you have a DC area cobbler you recommend? Preferably in DC proper

my wolverine 1ks are due, I’d like to slap a commando/lugged sole on them

 

[Sirius]
