        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.
                Cheers to @Megatron1505 and @nicecrackaction.

                @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.

                      Oh hi!  These are my new buddies.

                      Ok folks. Yay or nay on the kilties?  I'm thinking they look a little posery.

                          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

                                    Also agree on no kilties.  I think the fact that your sole isn't lugged makes the boot look less lumberjack-ish.  The big thing for me is the contrast between the color and texture of the two leathers.  If the kilties were the same leather as the boots I think they would look really good.  But regardless those boots look really clean without the kilties.

                                      Upon reflection I have worn kilties with my IHVB-03CT but now I wear them without and much prefer the cleaner look.
                                      However, I love my IH kilties with my Whites SJ's

                                            Apart from this, that I dislike kilties  (they look stupid & ugly in my eyes  😶  - but that's my opinion  😃 )
                                            The shape of the boot looks a lot cleaner and smarter without this 'rags'.
