I'd put dark tan wax polish on the midsoles and heels, leave for a few hours, buff and repeat if necessary…
Thanks well try this

Consider Fiebing's Edge Dressing, too. It's what a lot of bootmakers use. It's fairly cheap and widely available, though it might be a bit harder for you (you're Canadian, right?).

@Stuart.T re. our short discussion on the RW thread, here are some examples of Wesco Boss/Morrisons with either lowered logger heels or Christy soles, taken from Wesco Japan's IG feed. You should check out Wesco's boot builder tool for custom options, https://www.wescoboots.com/builder/MensCustomBoot.aspx?id=Boss although fair warning, it's a rabbit hole…
Yes I know we frown upon quoting pics and yes I'm a mod but THAT is the heel height I want right there in the last pic. I want the IHTB-BOBRN with that heel height. This is possible correct @Giles?
-
I guess my real question is…to make that happen do I need to initiate a whole new custom order and spec it just to the IHTB-BOBRN with a shorter heel or can we take an existing pair that's in stock and make the heel shorter? I have no clue how this works...obviously.
-
That is a double midsole with a lowered heel and #705 outer sole. Doable with a custom build fo sho.
And quoting pics is fine if there’s a point to it [emoji1417]
Double mid sole….what does that mean again? I'm such a boot noob!
-
That would be it’s own custom order. When you lower the heel that much the whole balance of the boot changes and you need to base it on a different last.
Ok that makes sense.
-
Double layer of leather in the midsole. Compare the IHWE-5 or burlap shorties to the other boots.
Gotcha. I believe I've read a double mid sole is harder to break in? Is that true?
-
I love the profile and look of that boot in the last pic. That's what I'm after.
-
A double mid is one centimeter thick dried cured leather instead of half a cm with a single mid. So it is about twice as hard to break in [emoji1]
If you want that exact profile you will need that build. Even small changes to the heel/sole details will impact the profile a lot. So lowered heel, double mids and #705 sole is what you need.
