Making Boots

@Snowy:

And agree, they're looking great now. Bet they'd look even better with non-overdyed denim too

(and I'd love to try that honey/wax :P~~~~~)

Hey, those are indigo chino ducks man!

Apologies, not sure I explained myself very well. Looking back over your other photos you've got some nicely cuffed jeans (see below photo). The cuffing has helped accentuate the details of your fine boots. This pair of chino ducks, don't have that contrast to enable the boots to pop out.

Yeah, you're right Snowy.  I'll take another photo tomorrow.

[Hemi]

Another day in paradise… I gotta go eat!

[Snowy]

Awesome, you win :).

Put me on the list of customers when you start selling stuff, ok?

[Chris]

Love the red midsole.  Gotta get a pair of boots with that feature.

[Hemi]

Thanks guys… that Cray was delicious!

Think I've managed to find some natural, tan & havana veg tanned leather as well as some Vibram soles.

I'll let you know more shortly.

[Hemi]

I'm getting closer!

Here's a boot I made for guy at WETA Digital… I think I prefer the natural coloured sole.

I'm also working on producing my own moulded rubber soles.

Fantastic, Hemi.

[Snowy]

Hemi that's kick ass.

Making your own rubber soles, you crazy sir

[Hemi]

Thanks guy's.

I got tired of trying to source Vibram soles so I'm going to make my own here in New Zealand.  I like being able to control as much of the process as I can and I think it adds value.

[seanocono]

Hemi, it absolutely adds to the value. Best of luck, and keep us posted, please!

hemi…i really want a pair of these when you are ready

[Hemi]

Here's a couple of Suede Boots I just made.  The Havana Suede Boot has a triple leather sole that I'm testing to see how it wears.

So nice!

[Hemi]

Thanks guys! I decided to wax the Havana Suede Boots… What do you think?

[seanocono]

Dope, Hemi. Like them much better waxed.
