Speaking of boots, the Cat's Paw heels on my Road Champs are wearing down really quickly. I'd like to eventually get the soles replaced with a rubber half sole/heel combo (Dr. Sole like in the pic above). My question is, should I have my Cat's Paw heels replaced and wait for the leather sole to wear out and then get them resoled or just wear the Cat's Paws out and then go for a resole?

I forgot to mention earlier that Takeshi also has the benefit of machinery to do his soles. He had to be convinced to do the first triple sole job on RCs because he was worried it would break his machine.

@superfuzz I have some Cat's Paw heels to replace my RCs, but given how quickly they wear I may call an audible and go with Vibram. Won't mark my floors up either. If I were you I'd go ahead and get rubber outsoles, though my RCs have triple leather already (going all the way to the heel) and I will not be putting rubber half soles on.

If I just replaced the heels I wouldn't replace them with Cat Paws, they wear out too fast, and doesn't seem worth trying to track down a pair.

Since you're adding a rubber half sole, you might as well get it done when you replace the heels.  If you wait until the leather outsole is worn out, then the boots may need a more extensive rebuild.  Kind of a prevention vs restoration approach, if you will.

[superfuzz]

I'd have the entire sole replaced when I get the rubber half sole. So getting the heels replaced would just allow me to get some more wear out of the original leather sole before I have them totally resoled. If that makes sense.

I'll probably just go ahead and get them totally resoled once the heels wear out.

The Real Camera was out today, so the RoadChamps got a bit more serious attention. Still a very big fan of these boots and wear them around like slippers.

Today I decided to dress about as thematic as I'll likely get.

Other than mixing Navy with Engineers, the look comes together at least 1/2 decently.

Road Champs look great with the resole, Snowy. And great sailor outfit!

Congrats Appfaff!  I just ordered the same shorts, looking forward to them.

Hey guys,

I'm looking at picking up the Appaloosa shirt, anyone have any advice on the sizing after shrinkage? This will be my first MF purchase so not really sure how it behaves. I'm usually a large in most IH shirts.

Cheers

Beer Man, Size up for sure. I'm a M in IH, M in MF, and went Large in this.

A Large in the App fits like an M in the IHSH-33. It shrinks like crazy.

Thanks Snowy.
