Show us your boots

[Chiba J.]

There are at least two other guys working there. Not sure how many more. If you get a chance to visit, it's in an interesting area: Yoshiwara, the old pleasure quarters.

What's the other badass Japanese cobbler that you see a lot of in our community? It's killing me, can't recall their name. Y'all know who I'm talking about?

[Bluegrass]

Is it Brass Boots?  Something like that…

Thanks!!! http://www.brass-tokyo.com/

Aside from no stitching on the rubber outsole, holy sploosh:

I love them.  No more and no less that my Vibergs.  They are both outstandingly built.

These are slightly too big for me, so they sit by the back door.  They can be slipped on and off with great ease.  I effectively use them as wellington boots, so they see a lot of shit…..

Some thicker insoles might make the fit a little better for you. Want me to make some custom leather insoles for you?

[Giles]

seawolf,  That would be amazing.  How to proceed.  Here is a pic of what they came with…

Not sure that needs to be stitched. My wife has those glued on her Moto boots. She's worn them for a couple of years now and no problem.

[mclaincausey]

Yeah it's an aesthetic thing and a show of craft more than anything.

Send me your current insoles and I'll use them as templates to make new ones for you. They'll be a perfect fit. I had the same crappy insoles in my Wescos and replaced them all with my custom leather versions. I'll make yours extra thick.

[Giles]

Thanks seawolf, will do….

[seawolf]

I'll ready the saddlery.

To 6115?

Isn't that just a topy over the leather sole, I've never seen those stitched on.

[Nerkg]

I think he was implying he likes the look of the outsole stitching.
On a side note that is one damn nice topy, inlaid and tacked with a toe tap. Damnn

[superfuzz]

I'm confused. But yes that is a beautiful topy!
