Where did you learn to make boots?

Mostly online but I did get help from a local bootmaker when it got tougher.

Wow, that's even more impressive.

The leather on these last two pairs of Lofgrens looks very attractive. What is it @Bfd70 @kemp.barry.a  ?

Black Horween CXL. Soft from the get go. Scuffs easily but also brushes out easily.

I suspected as much. Looks very nice indeed!

@wunnaz I do like moc toes a whole lot better with that kind of sole. Looks rad with the black denim too.

Loake Hyde Boots with 555-03.

Can i get any advise that should i resole those boots or get new brown pairs?
Upper leather & stitches are still in good shape and just need some clean & polish.
When I checked with a local cobbler and he asked 200AUD for resole with leather insole, outsole and additional rubber layer.
I used those boots in Singapore’s raining days for 2.5yrs. So insole is crack and falling apart inside. I need to use removable insoles at the moment.
