@den1mhead you could try Felix Jouanneau. He's a London bootmaker who used to do rebuilds, I don't know if he still does. His last Instagram post said that he'd stopped due to Covid.

Let us know how you get on with the above recommendation Barcley @den1mhead, as I've got a pair of RW's that need sorting.

@bryaneidins70 Jules has decided to keep her Viberg engineer boots as is so we won't be making contact with Felix.

In my experience with UPS in Germany, as long as your signed up with your email for delivery notifications, then yes.

I’m looking for high quality slippers or house shoes, and I’m “meh” on most I’ve found. Brand in consideration are LL Bean, Birkenstock, UGG, and the like. Anyone have cool recommendations?
Side question, why the heck are most slippers moccasins?

I was on the same quest for years, then I found Glerups. Never looked for another house shoe since!

Thanks for the tip. That’s a name I came across yesterday but didn’t dig into.

I recently picked up a pair of these for around the house and they're great.

I've always liked the look of the Quoddy Dorm Boot and some of the Glerups offerings. However, as a big footed man I'm usually relegated to your aforementioned usual suspects.

Long story short : I got glue on my rough out wescos, tried to get it off but got stuck with some weird discoloration and an altered structure. Do you think this can be fixed or should I dub the whole leather to make it even again? Is there a tip on how to dub anywhere?
-
@Max Power No idea how to remove it but here is a guide how to dub your boots:

What type of detergent do folks use for washing IH Shirts?
Shop detergent is fine. I wash them how I’d wash any clothes, that is what they are after all.
The only exception is indigo shirts on their first wash. They still get a regular detergent, machine wash, but they get soaked first.

@Max:

Unless you particularly want to dub them, I would leave it alone for a bit and wear them a lot. Regular wear will make the change less obvious. Also, have you used the steel bristles on a proper suede brush on it? That may get rid of dried particles and restore some of the structure.
