@pechelman o you brush after oiling to get the nap back up?

[pechelman]

Nah, I just leave it be and things get back to normal @cosmic55
Next time I wear the boots I'll take a picture, but here they are after one was oiled. I used the paste on really dry spots on the upper smooth leather and also on the sole.

Still think this was a bit of genius going with purple leather. Thanks @Giles

[ZackB]

@goosehd those are still awesome. I shed a tear every time I see those.

The patina on these White’s is amazing.

Guys, real talk. I finally got it together and got some shoe trees and I picked 42/43 but the boots are a little all over the place in sizes from different brands.

I do have to push them in, but I wouldn‘t say I have to force them in. I also wouldn‘t say its a slips right in kind of experience.

Can someone tell me if these look too big for these shoes? I don‘t want to stretch them out with shoe trees…

[NickD]

That’s about as tight as you want a shoe tree, but no, it’s fine - you won’t stretch the boots.

[BalticBob]

@NickD thanks!

@pechelman I went ahead and gave mine some oil…similar color change to yours. I’ll say that after one day they’re already lightening up!
Thanks for the advice

[goosehd]

@SKT That’s a great pair of boots and good job!! They look perfect

[SKT]

@goosehd thank you! I was nervous but the oil has evened out and I think the leather kind of needed it.

after some wait I got my first pair of Lost Boy boots ( former Kings Boots) yesterday 🥳
maybe not everyone’s taste but I absolutely love them. Very unique and the craftsmanship is absolutely amazing and the best I’ve seen so far , and I’ve seen a lot
here a few first impressions

@SKT Is this the distressed roughout?

[northsouthdenimguy]

@Daniel-San

Those look great! That black piece of leather in the arch threw me off at first I thought it was a super high arch.

That’s the same Vibram sole I’m looking to do on my next pair of Unsung engineers/ropers. Still debating what I’m going have him build, but I have plenty of time to figure that out.

@northsouthdenimguy
the leather arch support is awesome and not easy to make . But as mentioned the finish and quality is insane.

These bad boys just landed. Wesco x Ship John Derroll Boots. Was thinking of putting em under the tree for Christmas, however, don’t think I can wait.

[SKT]

@hjl360 they are brown roughout. Here’s a couple pics to see the difference. Lighter color is distressed roughout. Both pairs a couple years old but the darker pair was just oiled.

[SKT]

@Daniel-San those are killer boots! And @Denimhead-0 i have always loved the look of those Derrolls! Santa can always come early for boots

@SKT Thanks!

Those White’s look awesome
