SEXIHXLSXA13 - Self Edge x Iron Heart x Leather Soul x Alden

[TWELVEAM]

Just got these back. Thanks to the guys at SESF! These might overshadow my XHS.  Not the best lighting to showcase the denim. Can't wait to see how it looks in a few months!

[rocket]

very nice!

[davey5737]

those look good! how did you size

[J-IV]

Nice fit all together, TWELVEAM

[TWELVEAM]

Thanks guys. Sizing down one was all that was really needed.

^ Nice Ben…I got my call today too from SESF, but I gotta pick them up tomorrow.

here ya go:

@PETEROCK1:

sexls (self edge x leather soul) alden boots worn 8 months…..

who wore these? the a 800 lb. construction worker for 8 months 24 hours a day?!

[Giles]

Casey from SELA

[Guest]

Why do they look so horrible? I think I would resole pretty quick, poor choice in sole IMO

[bagley920]

If he wore those everyday for 8 months, I'd say the sole looks good to me.

I've worn mine 3 times since I got them and they haven't worn at all.

[Guest]

Yea I agree the composition of the sole held up nice but the way they wear, coupled with the leather not wearing very nicely makes for an ugly shoe, that being said these shoes new are really really sharp looking, and I love the overall look of them, but Mabey a good Sapir treatment and a resole after a while would do the trick, plus you don't know if these were untreated, I assume they were

[Giles]

Man, it's Casey.  I suspect he unpacked the feckers, laced 'em up, wore the shit out of them and that's about it…......

[thomasnunnally]

And, just as an added comment, I wouldn't exepect anything from leather soul to have good evo from hard wearing.  If you look at most of their products (these included imo), they are made for style and look, not functionality.  I suppose that is what I found weird about the pairing with ironheart in the first place, but whatever, who really cares.

Just as an example, did you see those Rider's Ottawa Hiking Boots.  They are not designed for hiking, and I am sure anyone at leather soul would admit that.  Better off wearing them to work in the office or dinner.

[kiya]

Casey lives in Los Angeles and doesn't own a car, when you pair the two you end up with soles that look like that pretty quickly.

[elclintor]

I think the evo on those are great!

Everyone has opinions.

[zhivago]

I'm with you El, tons of character on those babies

[crisone]

Picked these up today, I love the fit, just got to get them tapered in at the cuffs:

Thanks again Kiya, yup, lucky I did try on the 36…...

looks great there chris…great images as well!
if you don't mind to ask, do you take them to a "normal" tailor or who does the tapering?

[crisone]

^ Thanks Finn….for the hem only and no tapering, SE does it, but if not, I take them to a normal Tailor, but I might switch to another Tailor with this pair and bring it where SE suggest to bring them for tapering.
