Thanks Seul. I've seen some nice worn prancers out there, but like a nice car, you have to take care of them. Might it be said that if you do the miles you need to do the time.

@Seul:

They're def not fit for the workfloor, I found that out quickly… 

Now that would have been an amusing sight.;)

[TinMan]

Some nice pics on this thread, I hope I can feck up my RW 877 just as good and add some my own pics.

I've never felt so girly in all me life (not even whilst wearing a fecking skirt), having to slow down in corners and all… Looked like I was walking on ice...

I can tell you I was quite relieved when that shift ended...

[Chris]

Yep, that's what I was picturing in my head.  You tiptoeing around like a dainty little princess in your shiny Diors.  It makes me laugh.:)

Nothing but love, Seul- you know that…

[Seul]

Hahaha yes - exàctly like that… God it was bad... Especially since I had to move about tons of boxes of wine...

That was December 24 2k11 btw... 

[Chris]

Hehehe, that only makes it funnier…

anyone who has a pair of 8130s and works on their feet/walks all day experience pain in their toes?

its weird. i can work all day but as soon as i get home, theres sharp pain in my toes. would an insole help?

[ALEX1976]

I wear the 8130 often but no pain after wearing! :-\

2940. 5(?) months in. Oiled once after excess in mud and seawater. Excuse the bathroom background.

I treated my rough out Iron Rangers with Barbour wax treatment, painted it on with a brush when it was liquid.

They went a bit darker but it was quite successful (supple, waterproof etc.).

Damn, office carpet is ugly!

Looks great hectic!

Little peek of Two Feet Ahead socks too.

Any ideas where I can get replacement traction tread soles?

[injunjack]

Have you asked the finnish retailer??? I think they were about to start resoleing as well, or at least have a cobbler to do it for them.

[Katsushin]

Well after several years, a few heel replacements, and carving new treads in with a power tool, it was finally time to resole my trusty 1907s.
I'm a crepe sole guy all the way, but don't love how that classic cream color pretty much always looks dirty (especially where I live).
What better solution than the Vibram Christy in black…

[ronaldlsh]

Looks good!!

[Giles]

That looks soooooooooo much nicer than a cream Christy..

[Katsushin]

Thanks, I think so too.
I never even knew they made them in black until my cobbler turned me on to them.
Toying with the idea of retrofitting my OSBs with them eventually as well…
