Any cobbler will be able to sort out a new rubber heel, which they will have in stock and you should be able to choose from. I am not sure if a coddler will be able to do the job…
New job, too much information crammed into my head…
Anyway, thanks. Any new boots in the works, Giles?
So I noticed the Cat's Paw heel, it's like a separate rubber piece. I've never had boots with one of those before, and I have just slightly bowled legs which causes the outside of my heel to wear faster. Can I just take these to a coddler and have them replace the rubber part? Where can I order new ones?
Thanks
I think the sale ends beginning of August or such. A lot of boots and shoes on discount, including Red Wings and others. Pretty good selection.
My experience is purely under 16oz., the heaviest I have is 15.7 Momotaros… so I am looking forward to these. 634S-B and Viberg scout boots... I'm done spending money for a while.
First pair of Iron Hearts incoming…
Well, the 21oz denim is sanforized, so it doesn't really have much shrinkage in it to begin with, but the overdye process is basically a very long, very hot wash. After that, whatever shrinkage was left is gone. That's why all of the overdyed products tend to run a bit smaller than their normal counterparts.
Thanks for the help.
@173:
Thanks. Can you tell me the stretch and shrinkage norm for the 634S-B? I know Samurais are known for stretching a lot, for example. I read that Iron Hearts stretch very little, maybe a half inch. But please, let me know.
Stuck record …..read the product description.....
- Overdyed, so zero if any shrinkage, but like all denim, will stretch up to one inch in the waist with wear
Well, my bad… I didn't see that part. And I had no idea overdying affects the shrinkage properties of a denim.

I'm very interested in getting a pair. They will be my first venture into IH if I do.
I wear a 31 waist normally in most brands - 316, Momotaro - the problem is with my thighs, as they are fairly big. Hell, I think I can fit into a 30 waist, but I need some room in the rise, and in the thighs. I hate having a tight crotch, not being able to lift my leg, etc.
Should I go with a size 31 or 32? I can make more exact measurements on myself and my denim later.
Thanks
The hell are you guys doing to these jeans, that you require so many crotch repairs? Or is this just something you have to live with with heavier denim?
