Show us your boots
-
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 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

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

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.

@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

@Stringthing75 Those are sick! What’s the story with the sole? Looks like the same material as the wedge but with some lugs?
-
@Bobca
Yeah the story goes that they were utilising remaining material leftover from previous styles, made something like 403 pairs and weren’t going to be getting any more outsoles so I believe that’s all they could make.
Sourced matching hardware and there you have it. Hence overall numbers limited to the availability of the Vibram TC-1 I believe. Limited it to European stores.
I live in Scotland, so happened to be down in London the week after they went on sale and nipped into the Red Wing store and was able to try them on and got the guys to send them to Scotland for me.
Love them. -
@SKT Ah man thanks so much for posting, that's the exact comparison I've been wanting to see. Ready to pull the trigger on some cruisers in White's next sale event and wasn't sure between brown roughout and distressed roughout.
You have awesome taste in boots! I intend for a pair of C350-CS to be my 2nd pair somewhere down the road.
