          Nice boots! -
          but the leather soles & the heels are very sensitive and slippery … rather suboptimal for boots.  :-\

            MY very first pair of SD's had leather soles and cuban heels and gripped surprisingly well. You'll be fine and the boots look great, congrats.

              I had pure leather soles on my Wolverine 1000 mile Boots - after ca. 3 months, I had enough and visit a cobbler for an 'update'  😉  ….. but whatever - the White's are great!  🙂

                I have gone A over T a few times on leather soled shoes. My Dad used to score his with a knife until they were worn in and less slippy. I take mine to the cobblers too @Finkster saves a potentially  bruised bum and if your slip takes place in public a battered ego! [emoji57]

                    Having recently acquired the Armageddon boots I have started the process of dying them. The pictures show the boots very early in the dying process and the colour was quite a shock to me. I am hoping to achieve an oxblood colour with one more coat of dye and then with the application of oxblood polish.

                    Original boots;

                    Early stage in the dying process;

                        Why choose single or double midsole? Purely aesthetic preference or… there must be a practical reason as well, no?

                            Continuation from my previous post and the dying process of my Armageddon boots is complete.

                            @NorthernVictory : Midsole - Single, Double, or Triple? The thicker the midsole the greater the protection (stepping on a nail) and for their supposed added durability. There's also an aesthetic element, as some people think a taller boot should have a thicker midsole. There is also the added height provided by the additional midsole. Finally, the Japanese market often want the thickest midsole available and when Mega acquired these particular boots I understand he was into the Japanese look.

                                      I'd go without the Kilties.. Or you could trim the fronts have a straight edge close to the first eyelets..

                                          Without.  Definitely a cleaner, less "Hey!  Check out my lumberjack boots!" vibe that way.

                                            i feel like the kilties make the boot look strangely small.  like they throw the proportions off.  i can't quite explain it.

                                            i mean on my pair of course…. they actually look awesome on yours den1mhead
