What last did you have them rebuilt around..?
-
Chippewas. Cheap boots that end up getting very interesting patina after a few years.
-
They look great! I think this is exactly what supposed to happen with natural leather.
-
I have always liked the fact that this WW2 GI Joe is wearing my Chippewa boots.
-
With my RDTs I was surprised to find that the metal toe taps wore out faster than the sole. And they were very slippery. As Posted here before, I had them re-soled early on with wedge soles, which have held up very well (better than the RDT uppers!).

The red thread represents my attempt to do some DIY reinforcement, which I failed at..
-
I love my RDTs, but I have to admit some disappointment in how the stitching on the vamps began to come loose pretty quickly. They have held together, and I don't wear them all that often, but still an unexpected breakdown.
-
Yes indeed..
-
Do you know if this leather ("regular CXL black horsehide") is different from his "hand tinted HH," which I see so many pics of? I like yours better than a lot of the pics I see of RC boots with wear, where the HH gets all creased up. I know some folks like the latter, and I understand why, but this looks better to me.
-
Yes, died through.
-
Ha, that's why prices had to go up every year! 15 million dollars represents a lot of Indy boots...
-
Yes, I've been tempted by these 4Q collabs as well. But ultimately I'm a toecap guy.

Chippewas after 3 years or so of regular wear. It’s a shame they discontinued these. They were affordable, looked good (to my eyes), and were hardwearing. Not fancy, but got the job done. I wore my last pair for over ten years, and had to get these replacements on the ebay. Still a few floating around, but starting to dry up.
-
I found the SJs to be much more narrow in the toe box than the SD last. It's a little surprising as they look chunkier, but to me they were like two widths narrower... Just in the toe box.

Thinking about ordering a pair of Truman boots for the first time. They've got an MTO with some nice looking horsehide going. I've seen both good and bad about them on the interweb; wondering if anyone here in the trusted group has had experience with them. And especially if anyone has owned or handled their horsehide from Maryam tannery in Italy.
-
Ah right, they look good.
-
Remind me what the brown medallion cap toes are..?
-
Wolverine sells them directly.
-
I’ve had two Chippewa engineer boots over the past 15 years, and they always have the coolest looking tongue marks (if you like tongue marks).
-
Thanks. An old flathead Harley it turns out. Pretty nice!
-
My goodness -- Is that an Indian in the background? What year?
-
-
Dang, too small for me. I remember when they first offered these, right at the launch of the new website. Wish I had got them then. GLWS.
-
So, when are these Vibergs going on sale, and what size are they?
-
What laces are those? Nice and wide..
