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.

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.

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

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.

Splendid looking boots @Chris . Never owned Trickers but I’ll look them up after seeing your pair in that color.

Lovely looking boots. I like the toe profile a lot. Nice mix of vintage and mid-century.
