            @TelemarkTumalo hey man!! When you used Wyatt and Dad, did you add on a double mid soul? Thinking of sending in my old Beckmans in. Want to really beef them up, but not sure if a double mid sole is over kill on a slimmer boot like a Beckman.

            In the easy chair with my boots on, melted whiskey in my hand. Could'na been asleep for more than three hours...time to go to work again...

              I went with a single piece leather mid-sole. The double thickness sole was an option, but took the cobbler's advice. I like your idea though. The double sole would raise your Beckman's to a whole other level.

              My pair of 8085's is just kicking butt. Admittedly, they are competing for wear time in a busy rotation, but make me smile every time I put them on.

              I have another pair of boots in transit back from Wyatt & Dad. Having a pair of Grant Stone Field boots mods, changed from the the fiddly D-rings to speed hooks. Just like with my Iron Rangers, Tony Wyatt called me when he received the boots and we talked through what I was after. I can't shout their praises enough.

                @TelemarkTumalo oh damn! He put a logger heel on there too!! I was also wondering if that would be an option. Love me a logger heel. So now is the heel a bit higher on your IR than it was originally? Does that change the way it feels/ wears?

                  They look fantastic, probably one of the most successful sole restoration which I have seen

                    It does change the ride of the boot, but I attribute that to having more leather underfoot than the height of the boot. Probably 1/2" or so higher at the heel and somewhat less increase in height at the forefoot after the re-craft. Initially, it felt more like a new pair of PNW boots, but the mid-sole is gaining more flexibility now as it breaks in. The insole is the original. W&D will provide a variety of heel shapes and heights and I think they love to get creative. I really like their work and again, just great boot people.

                    BTW.... your IR's are looking fantastic! Wear them well, Brother!

                                @steelydan Excellent recraft. The leather midsole adds so much to the look of the IR. Wouldn't it be great if Red Wing offered the IR with a similar build? They used to offer the Roccia sole on the Beckman, so clearly they have the ability.

                                Regardless, your IR's are exceptional. Well done!
