White's Boots

[SKT]

@hjl360 I’m biased but they look amazing man! Glad you were able to pick some up

[GoodtimeJohnny]

@hjl360 Great pick up!

@hjl360 sweet! Kinda want to get my c355 resolved as wedges. I’m on polished concrete like 90% of the time, and I fantasize about them being much comfier

@mmerkle my first pair of boots with wedge soles so I can only tell you what they are like brand new and that is like walking with cushions under my feet, just absorb every step

[GoodtimeJohnny]

@mmerkle So worth it, the wedge is a great break from the lugs, especially on concrete all day!

@mmerkle I have some Red Wing Beckmans that I had resoled with a wedge, and it's made them MUCH more comfortable in terms of standing for long portions of the day. They certainly don't look as nice/formal as they did with the stock soles, but the comfort gained has been well worth it.

[mmerkle]

Thanks for the encouragement! I’m bracing for the estimate as they’ll probably have to add to the midsole to give them something to stitch to around the heel…

I decided to just go with replacement heels for the moment. Whites was going to be too expensive (mostly cause they wind up to take on more than I actually want done at the moment) IMO. Also, wanted to check out a new cobbler. Given the results, I’m happy to bring them all my shoes in the future! When this wears out I’ll maybe try a wedge ;).

My cinnamon waxed Cruisers have been getting a good workout in Mexico City. Caught during a brief Uber break:

@popvulture dang man let look great and I can’t believe how much lighter they’ve gotten. You gotta be happy with ‘em!
