HEAVYWEIGHT BOOTS CHAMPIONSHIP 2013 - 2015
-
Whites 6" Standard Block Heel – Alden Indy -- Viberg Scouts
can't believe the soles/heels on your white's are that "used" already! looks like a lot of resoling needs to be done during those two years!? :-\
-
Yeah, oh well. Overpronation, walking miles a day on concrete, and constant wear will do that.
-
Urbs you've just blown my mind. I'm going to guess it's to do with the insole/lasts buttttt…...
In the Whites you've worn down the back left
In the others you've worn down the back rightUsually one's gait doesn't change, consistent wear patterns etc. All my shoes have the same wear patterns. What's the story??????
-
I think he took a picture of a left and two right boots. The wear is at the back outer edge on all of them.
-
Haha dude. Sorry. That's a Whites lefty and other two are rightys.
Edit: thanks Chris

Mega, are you able to resole within the 2 years?
-
@CLJ:
To be honest I'm not sure if it is black or brown smooth leather. I feel this configuration will work best for what I want it to be. Anything, anywhere, any time. Steel toe for work and moto. Classy enough for going out and being sociable.
8" Height. Lace-to-toe. Mine will be steel toe, double mid sole, vibram 700 sole, standard heel, brass eyes/hooks, brown leather liner, rolled top, and leather pull loop.
Can you still do a steel toe with a lace to toe design?

Like I said at the start, for me a boots contest is about looking after your boots through their wear, not trashing them. Yup, resoles are allowed, although it would be a bit naughty if 25 pairs of contest Bounty Hunters arrived at Whites for refurbishment three months before the contest ends.
-
A resole and a refurbishment are two totally different things. A resole is necessary maintenance. A refurb reminds me of the time a woman used public transportation DURING the Boston Marathon, and would have won, if she didn't get caught. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosie_Ruiz
just my opinion.
-
Completely agree with you Mr Judge.

Yep. Spoke to Kyle about it as while as sizing the other day.

when i first saw this picture I could not help but notice those ALDEN's look DWARFED by the competition
-
After much thinking, and drinking, and realising that adding an extra few people won't exactly make this contest any harder to organise (as I'm not really organising anything new), I am opening the contest up to a further 25 people. Come get some.
-
maybe too much for Bakers …. didn't get any response to my mail from 4 days ago
how long does it usually take by you guys
ready to order but if no one answers my questions ... I'm out -
Kyle has been ill, but he's back now. He mailed me a few minutes ago.
Is there anything you want me to ask?
-
I know he was ill … but answered to other guys
@Megatron1505:Is there anything you want me to ask?
nope thanks … just questions about customizing
do you have a direct email address of kyle ... please PM me -

Yeah, I completely agree.
I'm glad we can resole. I'll probably need a heel replacement after a few months.
