@dirtyframer

These are so good, I thought about it for a minute but I’m on engineer(buying) hiatus

[dirtyframer]

@northsouthdenimguy wife was stoked, I didn't tell her that I got her a pair so it was a nice surprise.

I post this here because there are some specialists.

I just get my first pair of engineer boots from Viberg, with Teacore Horsehide in 2005 last. The size is perfect when I put them on.

But the question : Is it normal that I struggle to pull them off so much? I heard that is normal, but seriously I fought like 10/15 minutes to remove my left boot last night. The right foot was easy to pull off.

I ordered a Boot Jack that will arrive today, but I wanted your advices on that because they are expensive boots and I dont want to waste money.

Yes, it's pretty normal. They'll free up with time, but a boot jack makes it so much easier.

Boot jack is the way. Even on my boss boots I’ve owned since 2020, I still use mine( pesky right foot ). However, I think the leather lining on mine plays a role in tightness when taking mine off though.

[Neru-6]

Its perfect with the boot jack. Thank you for the answers.

Hi,
I'm after tapping into the collective knowledge:

I've always used shoe trees for my shoes to preserve the shape, reduce creases and generally care for them when they're not part of a regular rotation.
I've never thought to do this for my boots (a couple of coats of obenaufs a year and the occasional brush to get rid of dirt seems to be enough to keep them going.)
Cleaning up a pair of old Whites SDs for the autumn/ fall got me wondering whether 'boot trees' could be worthwhile to keep the boot's shape during the summer when they're not getting much attention.
My shoe trees won't fit and are clearly the wrong shape for the White's 55 last, probably because of the arch support.

Does anyone use "boot-trees"?
Any recommendations for something that fit White's boots?
Thanks all!
