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.

Black Horween CXL…

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.

Just attached the kilties… - initially decided to hate them but...
What do you think - with or without?

Personally I’m a big fan of kilties aesthetically, and think they look great on that boot. There is no denying the functional advantage they have, especially if you are wearing your boots a lot and/or in challenging conditions.

[jay-cy]

well, I think I have to withdraw since I start falling in love, at least on these packers…

[Bfd70]

What exactly is their function?

They protect the soft leather of the tongue from abrasion by the laces and grunge that collects in the laces.
