Show us your boots

@the246guy You might be able to pull some the diesel fuel out with a paste made with baking soda and water. Apply it to the areas and rub in and then wipe off with a damp rag. I got some brake fluid on a pair of boots and this helped some. It probably would be a good idea to condition the boots after this. Or you could embrace the wabi sabi.

@the246guy Saddle soap might help as well. Just make sure to condition after using saddle soap.

If those are your working boots I would just leave them be and embrace the story of hard work. If they're not your working boot you shouldn't have worn them while doing dirty deeds. I would just turn them into work boots and ride it out! They look good when worn hard.

@jfox1980 Those are my office boots. I was doing the regular chore of fuelling my car. I did not pay attention to the fuel pipe not being inserted fully which resulted in few drops of Diesel spill over my boots.and on my 634 SBG which I will wash. Those JLF boots are my favorites as they are super comfortable and look classy with IH denim, so a bit disappointed with myself on what happened due to my carelessness.
I'm sure I will get them clean!

@brian how goes the Imperium break-in? Did you size down much for the engineer? I have a pair from them that fit like an 11 in length but I've got so much volume left after my foot is in. I got 2 leather insoles in them ATM lol

@CosmoSix5 slowly it’s been baking here recently so not had much chance to wear them
They are softening up though, I just measured my feet and he made them so size wise I’m not sure I think they are an 8.5 from our discussion -
Grailed pickup. Viberg is one of the few brands I will pick up secondhand. Pretty cool 3Sixteen make up from several years back.

@Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot good god!!! It would be uncouth to describe the feelings that just shot through my body when I saw this pic!!

@Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot those look amazing man. I’ve been cautiously looking at some for a while, still deciding on the color but I’ve always loved that color.
