Kudos to @Mizmazzle for an easy transaction. Great communication and superb shipping. Thank you!

@goosehd Awesome. My 3 girls in their twenties: "Dad, please don't cuff your jeans..." You are ahead of the game.

@Dmart That was the winning time for NZ in 91. Most of us ran a good part of the swim. The organizers had not paid attention to the tidal schedule. Those were the days... You also needed a physician's attestation that you are in good health to start.

@XPender TImes have gotten so insanely fast. That time would have been top 3 overall way back when I raced.

@XPender Fantastic!!!

Weirdly enough, that is the exact time I did at Ironman NZ many moons ago. I remember throwing up on the bike rides at least 5 times as I was not used to swimming in ocean water.

Again, fantastic effort! Did you qualify for Kona?

@Darth-fader sweet, keep posting evo updates please

@flannel-slut Perfect in every way.

@Davids_denim what boots are those? Thanks

@Tago-Mago Reminder was needed...

Damn. Just a 30min MARC train ride away.
But traveling in Europe in September.

BTW, staying in DC certainly an option. Great connection via commuter (MARC) train.

@Perpetual_beta said in Show us your boots:

9060 @ 150 miles or 4 weeks. Have not been wearing them daily due to ice and salt.

Not sure about them yet. Quality is 1-2 notches below GS. But these seem to be better made than recent generations of IRs. Nice leather midsole. Break in fast.

Now at 8 weeks. I Walk a lot ️

GS wax commander @ 1000 miles. Superbly manufactured. Great boot.

@FlavourFade

Day 3 of 9060s. Increasing wear. Walked 3 miles to day. They seem to break in a bit faster than what I remember from IRs. But then I always break them in quick and walk a lot.

It is a well made boot with a leather midsole (rare for RW), which may contribute to the pleasant wear from the get go. No obvious manufacturing flaws.

The laces are atrocious. Too short and come loose in minutes. Immediately ordered from Pisgah Limited.

Will post some photos after a bit more wear.

Overall, seems to be a reasonably good boot. Hoping to get 2-3 years and 2 resoles out of them.

@FlavourFade

Just bought a pair of the 9060 yesterday at F&P. Not sure what they have still in stock for sizes.

Fingers crossed that they fit.

I had sworn off RW because the newer iterations of IR did not last for me like the old ones. But the 9060 really speak to me and I "needed" a black boots.

Too late for thunderdome unfortunately.

@Mindfulbiscuit makes complete sense. I also have to size up 666 to make them work in the thighs but then the waist gets to wide. So I don't bother with those anymore and stick with 633/4 and 888. Interested in trying the 1955 though - any experience with them?

size down? they look too tight right now (whole pelvic area under stress), but should be good since they will give about an inch.

666 won't work because of thighs. 888 you likely won't like because of rise.

Grant Stones

Quality of these Grant Stones shoes is so far beyond RW.
Ms. Mizz got it right.

@Mizmazzle agree
