Anyone have any good products or strategies for getting moisture out of boots while not wearing them? Especially during the summer, my feet tend to sweat alot in my boots and don't really wanna buy $30 shoe trees for all my shoes

I use it after I've gone running or working out. Great for snowboarding boots, hiking boots etc.

IMO I got rid of my shoe trees after seeing this on sale at EMS. Got my trainers toasty warm for cold days. And got rid of the moisture ASAP so no kind of funk develops

Shoreman comes and goes at whim.  I think the last incarnation was his fourth…...

or make your own

Stuff them full of newspaper. But if you've got expensive shoes/boots, you really should be using shoe trees to keep them looking good.

What's up with Memphis, TN Cotton?  I've noticed that Momotaro and Warehouse use it. Since H only uses USA cotton and I used to live in Memphis, this intrigues me….

Studio d'Artisan also uses Memphis cotton: http://www.japanesestreets.com/reports/1313/the-quest-for-perfect-jeans

Thanks SM.  It looks like I'll be checking out SDA for the summer. I'm looking at SD-103, IH-666L or TFH3009.

[Sugar Mountain]

I would caution against the SDA 103 for summer, as it's a very tight weave I think. I will admit to not having direct experience but can recall a conversation with Jericho at Take 5 in Hong Kong who had been wearing 103s for 9 months in hot weather. His words were "It's hard, very hard"!

Thanks SM. tight weaves are definitely super hot in the summer, but the fading properties of tightly woven denim is fucking awesome. No pain, no fade….

I DO have 1st hand experience. They are a HORRIBLE summer jean. I picked them up as they were 14.5oz or something and thought they'd be great for summer. They're hotter than my 634S' to wear. The 103's don't breathe!

^ "It's hard."

As someone who's happy wearing denim all summer, the SDA-103's are likely the only pair of jeans I'd refuse to wear all summer. TBH I'm eyeing TWXB01 for next summer….

MP, is it you mate?…
