Wearing the same shoes on consecutive days?! You ARE a filthy pig!

i walk on the "wide" side__ E on U.S. & Canadian & G-H [or 6 fitting] on UK. my Loden Green Service boots on the 2005 last were tight, initially.
1st, 'prepped the leather with conditioner & finished up with a Red Wing Mink Oil [leather softener]. then, stuck shoe trees in them & slipped some cardboard to keep the vamp taut. 'set them aside for a couple of days to allow the conditioner/oil to seep in + dry up a bit.
2nd, wore them with thinner socks, then gradually progressed to heavier weight once they started to open up.

Shameless Plug:
We're trying to get enough peeps on board this MTO Viberg Tan Bison Scout Boots. Pls pm "LA Guy" @styleforum if interested.the mash-up:
A) **Tan Bison Scout Boot
Leather: tan bison
Model: Scout boot
Last: 110
Toecap: none, unstructured toe
Eyelets: 7 antique brass eyelets**
Sole: Double leather sole , naturalit seems there's not enough peeps who voted for the Tan Bison Scout who ACTUALLY put in the order. it'd be a shame to waste the opportunity to acquire a fab & unique build up such as this.
honestly, the 1 & only apprehension i have that's preventing me from pulling the trigger are the leather soles …. 'just could never get used to them. but, if they're EXACTLY like the soles on the 8" ENGINEER BLACK [Japanese] HORSEHIDE__ ie, Cat's Paw half-soles, i'm mosdef on board.
FOK said if we can "… scrounge up enough guys in week", we can make it for round 2. LET'S DO THIS PEEPS!!!

Yea so after a 48 hour break I put them back on today and it was like we were meant to be. I am:
-
Man, sizing on barneys confused me..
I wear "8" in 2030 last, dunno if its US or UK.
which size I should pick from this web sale? -
Very happy for SSOL, and those greens are cool, sure to evo crazy, abrasions showing up brighter green.
-
Yeah, they look great with ducks. The loden green is more versatile than you'd think. As it ages, it goes more toward brown, which gives it some nice variations in tone. Love mine.

haha. the left is actually a shot of my boot. Gorgeous leather. I cant stress that enough.
-
^yeah, those Scouts were inspiring.
^^@Chris_ got some pix, sir?!
i noticed the inside heel/back stay are lightening a bit already due to abrasion … 'was thinking about how it will evolve down the line. the leather is not dyed through, so as it wears in on the high traffic/friction areas, the surface color will gradually fade/slough off, revealing the undyed leather.for a self-proclaimed denimhead
, that is an outstanding evo to look forward to. -
I'll try to get something up in the next couple of days. They're due for a bit of maintenance work, so I might do some before and after shots.

SF Loden Green Service Boots is tempting, but it looks like Viberg.com is introducing new boots every couple of weeks. "Service Boot in Natural Essex available online next week".
