    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?

      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...

        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!
