Show us your boots

[SimonQ.]

Picture-Day today.

Here are my winter beater, bought from Schuh Bertl in Munich. They are called ´Biker Boots´.

I really like them. Very hard to get  in and out, especially in the beginning but of course, will get better with time. I really like the fit of these boots though it takes some time to melt them to your toe style. Decent boots! Unless you plan to buy a 45 (stock example) these are made to order and my pair took about 3 month to be done but was fully worth it!

If you plan on using these in areas <-20°C I suggest either getting them one size bigger, so you can put on a pair of thick socks (keep in mind you wont be able to wear them with normal socks then..) or - my personal advice - buy that pair and ask to have it fleece lined.

@Beatle:

Red Wings are really tough - no probs with salt and snow and muddy trails

i have a pair of these and as far as traction goes they are excellent for snow.the only problem i`ve had with them were gross salt stains due to walking in snow all the time.

Are those same as Mr G had coming? Look very similar.

I notice that upper buckle arrangement is made like in old german military boots. I like that.
how much are those? Web-link?

Nice boots indeed.

[injunjack]

those stains go away with grease or wax treatment….

Yep, I guess Giles ordered the exact pair - this guy has taste
Just had a quick glance at the shop page and that pair isn´t listed any longer though I think it still can be ordered.  The price was somehow lower than 400€ I think, maybe 380€ with shipping or something.

@injunjack: tried that but it didn`t really work.after two days i got salt stains again.the best way to remove salt stains was cleaning them with milk.i ended up impregnating them with a spray and that did the trick… ::)

clean your leather with saddle soap then use some Obenauf’s preservative or similar - just be careful, saddle soap can rot stitching

these are not too dissimilar - simpler details, but lambskin lined

thanks geo,i will give it a try

[Geo]

no worries - just take it easy tho'

better to do things little by little when you apply preservatives, let it soak in

you can get good products from equestrian supply websites - it's one area where people still take real good care of leather and equipment

[SepticSef]

you just made a german look up the word "equestrian" 
excellent tip,thanks alot!

[Geo]
