Little over a year of wear. Supposed to be Buck Brown, but almost positive they're Tan Oiled Latigo.

@talexander either way they look great!

Finally got my Appaloosa belts……beautiful as expected…..and currently the only pair of raspberry double stuff boots in the world other than the Nicks pair at Boot Camp show.

@DeeDee85 Thank you! I agree, that's why I didn't send them back. I have a belt in the Buck Brown and it is significantly darker. I understand there are variances in batches of tanning, but when I look at the pictures of the Tan Oiled Latigo, they look very much like this boot in comparison to the Buck Brown

Scored some Nicks on the bay for cheap!. They were pretty grimy but the soles weren’t very worn. Perfect project pair!

I sanded the sides of the soles, gave the rough-out a good brush with a brass suede brush, and gave the edges a clean chamfer. Personally, I don’t love how wide the PNW makers leave their welts, so I took them down just a little closer to the stitch and evened out that spacing a bit. I think they came out pretty decent!

Great job! I love cleaning all my wedge soles. I’ll sit on the couch on a Saturday or Sunday morning with all my maintenance stuff in front of me watching murder documentaries while I clean them.

Edit: great trimming job

Supposedly it’s not the healthiest thing to do before you go to sleep, but “they” also used to say butter was bad for you
