Thanks for sharing this duder! So cool.

All my heel stuff arrived today. I bought some old WWII NOS heel segments and used some recycled tire flooring for part of the heel. Softer than shoe rubber, very comfy. Not really any progress photos, Glued everything together and nailed them to the shoe:

All in all, It was an awesome experience. I'm happy with how the boots turned out and am glad I was able to give them life again. Thanks again for the encouragement!
