@Mizmazzle Love those boots of yours. I agree that the Commando sole isn’t ideal, but I’ll probably keep them on until they wear down. Traction wise I found them great while trekking in Nepal - many rock “staircases” along with dirt paths in mostly dry conditions. They definitely don’t like mud and try to avoid it for the most part, but sometimes shit happens. They do pick up pebbles in the tread but doesn’t bug me until I can hear/feel them. I just pick it out and move on. The boots are so comfortable and I can wear them all day with no problem. I’ll probably go the same route as you are when it comes time to resole them. When I know I’ll be going out in ugly conditions, I grab my Redwings with a heavy lug sole and forget about it. Looking forward to seeing pictures once back from the cobbler!

@Denman-John thanks dude. I’m stoked to get the beefier sole on them. I too have some red wings I put a Vibram 100 on and they are unstoppable. So having that sole on these boots…should be unstoppable.

Got a couple update pics from Unsung. These boots are going to be like having two Jeeps strapped to my feet!

[Mizmazzle]

Now we’re talking!!!

@Mizmazzle They look great ~ let us know how they feel and if you notice any weight difference.

[Mizmazzle]

@Denman-John they seem a bit heavier but not by a lot. Course they were heavy from the jump. But I honestly don’t even notice the weight when I’m hiking.

@Mizmazzle Very nice, proper commando sole. Fits the boots very well.

And it looks like the work was very well executed

And I'm with you regarding weight, in general I never seen to take notice of the weight of footwear. (Too used to heavy leather shoes/boots as this point I guess).

@Mizmazzle really man those look amazing.

[Denman John]

@Mizmazzle You’ve convinced me to go this route when the time comes to resole my boots. Love the chunkyness!

[Mizmazzle]

@Denman-John I’m taking them out backpacking this weekend. I’ll check back in on their performance. But I agree. The new sole balances out the profile of the boot so much better now.

Hot day today so the slippers get the call.

@Mizmazzle I had the same job to my pachenas at unsung!

Went from Ridgeways to recessed Vibram commandos... huge upgrade

[Mizmazzle]

@jfive67 oh nice dude. I’ve heard those ridgeways are good…but I’d agree, not on a boot like this. I use mine in the backcountry on the regular so a legit lug was a must for me.
