              So I have these boots, I was just wondering since I never got any shoes as nice as these before, are the insoles (which I assume are attached to the boots) replaceable?

              I've also been reading a lot of leather care and conditioning, but haven't found as much information about conditioning/cleaning the inside of the shoe/boot. I figured, since that is where sweat, moisture and bacteria may arise in, shouldn't I dedicate as much time cleaning the leather on the interior as I do the exterior, to get maximum life out of my boots?

              Thanks

                Regarding insoles, you can buy aftermarket.  Talk to @seawolf.

                Regarding washing inside your boots, I would take Wesco's advice:

                Never use detergent. Simply wash the inside of your boot with a combination of warm water and baking soda. Do not rinse them. To dry, stuff the boots with newspaper and lay them on their side. Allow them to dry naturally. It is best to leave a bit of moisture in the leather to keep it pliable. To finish, apply appropriate boot dressings.

                  An expert told me these days that the use of the foam of curd-soap is helpful for many such purposes.

                    Would like to get hold of a 9.5 in these if anyone sized incorrectly or wanted to get rid of theirs.

                          Thank you Giles. I tried one SOLE 3.2mm thick insole and it's too thick. Feet can barely fit. (my boots, they fit perfectly… no room for growth.

                          Need some ultra thin model...

                          And contacted Mr. Seawolf as advised.

                            Has anybody new Evolution Pictures of his pair? I love them, yet the leather is very stubborn and shows almost no scarring / evolution. I love that, just would like to know, wether this changes after a few more months.

                                    Wow, great looking boots T&A.

                                    Mine are pretty much brand new. Awesome to see how they look with a few mile's on the clock. Thanks for sharing!

                                      received them nearly a year ago,

                                      and wore them pretty much the whole summer.

                                        Wow, thanks a ton, Steffen! I knew your pair looked very worn, though it also seems to prove my point, that the leather itself doesn't "age" fast (compared to my RW 8111 for example, that show every scuff and mark). Great Pictures!
