@Luijim78 amazing such classics. Shame they don’t make them anymore

9060 in the wild

Picked these up few days ago when they were released in Japan. Yes, the break-in has given me blisters.
-
@Denman-John they look great

Took the plunge with a pair of 877s. Very long legs so works for me when I sit down and the 888s ride up
HOWEVER - one thing I failed to consider when purchasing was how much of a pain it would be to have to lace literally half the boot every time you want to take it on/off.
Sent them straight to a cobbler to get the top 6 holes turned into speed hooks. Also got them to do a cheeky stretch to the toe box whilst they were there (felt a bit narrower than my IRs, I think there is an extra lining of leather that goes all the way round internally?)
Anyhoo - this was the best decision ever made. I can whip them on/off in a heartbeat now, and they still feel super secure. If you’re on the fence about this mod I would highly recommend!
(Double cuffed 888s so you can see what’s going on)
Peace to all

Beautiful boots right there @Karol
I normally hate Kilties but damn I like these. First time I’m saying this.On my way to Freiburg in my trusty 9060. Successfully broken in. Now waiting for some tea core to pop through
I'm with you on kilties, but I like how lowkey these are.
And yours are looking awesome, I'd love these as my black pair.@Denimhead-0 These would also be good option if I get a black pair. i love my CRT blacksmiths
I hate having speedhooks though, i'd love to get those swapped to eyelets
-
I still wear my roughout rangers more than pretty much any of my other boots. So good.
-
@popvulture i wish they'd make a roughout blacksmith.

Dude that’d be sick. The Blacksmith could use more love — I’ve never really understood why that one needed to replace the Beckman (I feel like it was a replacement, could be wrong), seems like they could just both exist and it’d be fine.
Don’t even get me started on the Beckman thing. When seemingly like 80% of fan-generated stuff on Insta etc is of a model you’re not even offering in the US, clearly your company might be missing out on an opportunity to make some money. Makes zero fucking sense.
-
@popvulture totally agree, same in Germany, I think so many models would sell great but for some reason are Japan only..

8859

@WhiskeySandwich I’d love to see that, what you all think of the new Dusty Rose mocs?

@jiminstitches not for me but I do like that they keep releasing limited leathers. I saw they did a black waxed roughout Blacksmith that somehow went under my radar a while back.
