Red Wing 875 Moc Toes. Great boot with a strong „character“. Painful break in period of about a month but now they are super comfortable.
-
@Autorotate So I finally took them out for a spin.
The removal of toe bump has not only changed it aesthetically, but internally got rid of some of the dead space on the inside, giving me an overall better fit. Changing the heel stack / style, has also changed the feel on foot and stance of the boot, which has been noticeably more comfortable when standing and walking in them. Not too sure I can speak to the flex aspect but I suppose logically there is less rubber since it is now a half sole, and would assume it has to flex a bit more. Overall a great upgrade and are on par with the feel of my Lofgren engineers, but easier to get on and off, since these are already broken in.
Highly recommend @UnsungHouse for all upgrades / repairs.
They were great through the entire process, and have followed up to check in with me since I've received them back.

Yea man, after your last post on this thread, I shipped my boots right off.
Great comms so far with Unsung. As soon as they arrived I received an email. They are in good hands for sure.
I went with a green Dr Sole Half sole… my thinking is that it’ll be a neat flow of green, to brown to black. Mix in some Pisgah Range custom laces and I think I’ll be set.
Basically I had these awesome yet super simple PNW constructed boots sitting in the bottom of my closet not being worn. For a fee, I am hoping to breathe new life into them, and make me want to grab them more often.
LSS - recycle, re-use. Kill the consumer chain… sort of. Something like that. LOL.

@Autorotate said in Show us your boots:
New laces from Pisgah range. Can’t make up my mind. Taking input.
BTW, big plug for Pisgah Range. Tough laces, great brass ends, affordable and fast delivery. Tons of choices on his site.
Are these your resoled pair?
I vote darker laces for these !
-
@Tyler-Durden These are not my resoled pair. These are my John Lofgren Donkey Punchers. I actually have 2 pairs of these in the exact same color - Natural CXL. One pair is 8.5, the other is 9. Long story short, I won an auction after placing an order… and now I have 2. They both fit fine. I suppose I’m in between sizes.
But I don’t need both pairs. I might make them available in the classifieds, and whichever size doesn’t get sold, I’ll just keep the other.
Oh yeah, I went with Navy. Thank you sir!

My Visvim T.W.O-Folk boots in Italian veg tan horsehide. Absolutely love the way the leather transitions with this cracking effect.
