Ask them even if they have stock in their Lisburn shop which they can send to Belfast . It's worth a try !!

Just resoled, with a brown commando sole. The colours on these have really started to spring out, now that they're being worn after a long lime without use...

Just arrived, pair of 70's Georgia 'Giant' Boots:

[pepper davies]

Great pair Mike. Love mine from the 50's.

[mikecch]

^ Cheers mate! Pic of yours?

Btw, have I got e-mail from you yet re: the CXL horsehide boots?

[pepper davies]

These are them! I haven't put them to great use just yet. Need to snag an insole for them, but I really like the profile.

And I did send you an email back. I'd care to hear some more details, but I think I'm in.

[mikecch]

Wow, those look fantastic! (and the box looks so freakin' new!!!)

If you ever find a pair in size 9, let me know

I should have more details regarding the project boots soon - will send out an update as soon as I hear news from Ray.

[pepper davies]

Yeah! Part of me wants to keep them in that nice condition for posterity. I snagged these for 40 bucks because I have feet that are too big by most standards... Warehouse had a pair of the exact same boots in a size 8.5 for over $400 a little over a year ago on their website (if I'm not mistaken). Anywhoooo.. Wish I could rep yours, but I have to spread.

[mikecch]

^ 40 bucks eh? Sounds alright

I love that style of 40s to 50s work boots, especially with the different coloured stitching...my grail would be a pair of horsehide Thorogood 676!

[bl@ster]

Damn! I wish Georgia would start repro'ing some of these classic models.

I love my desert boots.

These are nice! What's the name of the brand on these called?

[mssneaker]

^step it up

eternal

visvim

I cannot understand the appeal of these from any retailer, much less with the Visvim price tag. They look like a foot brace or something.

[nicka]

aaah come on! surely no-one actually thinks these are in any way stylish or flattering?

emperor's new clothes or what.

straight out of a hospital?????

[fuckcity]

looks like clarks to me

[crotch rivet]

DBs

probably around 8 months wear on these.

I call them my leather socks.

[j0emama]

^

are those some kind of special edition or did you customize the lining yourself?

They do, but these are great for house shoes and I throw em on once or twice a week if I'm just running out to pick something up to eat really quick.

I am not at doubt as to whether or not they look ridiculous. I know they do and I don't care.

This makes no sense to me at all. How much did you pay for those things?

[Maynard Friedman]

I think they cost you a couple of broken legs and a few nights in hospital, then hey presto...

[fre-co]

That was actually quite funny. I almost lol'd

To each his own...

Has anyone asked you if you just came from the hospital with those on? It looks like you need a wheelchair.

To what?..

[mikedbt5]

Picked these up on Friday , shop worn supposedly but looked new to me . Burgundy Barkers with black dainite sole . Full leather lining , apart for mthe heel strangely . Smooth but sturdy uppers and black piping . Go great with jeans or trousers . Pic shows the uppers lighter than they are . Have been wearing them since Friday to break them in , so far so good .

^Nice Vibergs Mike!

Hi everyone, as promised, a boot update…

I got these Duluth Trading "contractor" boots after seeing Ranon's pair! Really nice value, made in the US, and incredibly comfortable!

They have some very nice details, like the welts

And what looks like pigskin around the top of the boot

They come fitted with a cushy, removable insole, brass hooks/eyes, and a Vibram Christy sole.

I don't have Red Wings, so I can't compare, but I would certainly recommend these!

I was going to post my blunnies as well, but then had a change of heart when I realized that they are truly, incredibly.... Ugly!
