Shoes that look better with age...

[almostnice]

I wish the hell I could remember ! I usually rename pics with the mfg and model but I think it was real late when I came across these and just didn't. Been racking my brain, will let you know if I figure it out, hope someone else will know. I think it was a blog I was on..

aren't those Patinas?Kiya ,whatever happened to them?

Millwall's ground is the New Den. And as I'm a fan of nearest rivals Charlton you're closer than you know. Just for you I'll wear these down the Toolbox come 13th March.

@mad_dye purchased from Dover Street Market in London if that helps.

really amazing what kind of nonsense iam able to post when under the influence.

I used to share a flat with a miwallsupporter years ago.he had this "milwall roar" fanzines,which was a funny read than.dont really know how this came to my drunken mind last night...

I have a pair of 6 inch LLT smokejumpers on the Northwest last. This is the only pic I have at the moment, but can take some more for you tomorrow if you're interested.

Very comfortable boots, but quite a different feeling from the regular SJ last. I don't need them, but orthotics would not be a problem with these if you're having a pair made up.

Edit: Slide 13 - also meant to add, that's a great collection!!

Thanks Mate they look great and I'd be very interested to see more pics. I'm thinking 8" Plain Toe in smooth brown or brown chromexcel. I like the Vibram 232 Heel as it 'looks' like it has a separate heel.

Did you get your SJs custom fit or are you an off the shelf fit? My goal is to get a really superb fit - I need a great pair of boats that will be comfortable... My orthotics are pretty thick so fit can be tougher for me...

thogut some may be interested in these... my wifes 19 year old danner feather lights...

i think theyve had a vibrim resole... ive been lusting after a pair for myself since i saw them, and all ive found is a japanese website selling some for 58000yen or so.

she wanted to show a fit pic too....

[beatle]

holy shit..19 years ! Talk about everlasting

[riff]

^ Nice Danners. I've got a pair of Mountain Lights that are on their third resole! I got them in high school, so they're about 20 years old.

Mike, here you go:

[HumanError]

Red Wing Iron Ranger from J. Crew. One year old. Treated once with Sno Seal. Another treatment pending.

Wolverine 1000 mile boot. Three weeks old. Hit once with Pecards.

Need to see what Whites semi dress in shell looks like.

[edmond]

these need some new cats paw!

been using 4 times a week as work boots on site and office work man these are starting to be really comfortable!

[Mike147]

Demonito - Are those 8" High? Smooth Brown? Looking good...

[edmond]

theyre actually 2 tone red dog on the vamp and heel and smooth roughout on the shaft thanks!

just stumbled across this VERY cheap alternative for M 43 serviceboots

http://www.ranger-shop.de/products/A...mpfschuhe.html

and US jumpboots

http://www.ranger-shop.de/products/A...fel-Repro.html

best bit for me: they are located in germany!

[Denim Phenom]

Maybe Cats Paws aren't the best soles if you're wearing these on a construction site. How about something a little more heavy duty and less fashionable.

[edmond]

yer right dp maybe im going to look into mini vibram lugs half soles ( #435) and maybe a quabag heel..

Just for fun... Sorel evo!

They're 35 years or so old. My dad wore them for 15 years, then I snagged them when I was in high school. I've been wearing them for the last 20 years...

They're probably on their 5th liner. These things will outlive me!

[djarrow]

Lots of good looking boots on these pages!

I'm really liking the White's Semi Dress. Here's one I picked up recently:

Alden Indy Brown Chrome Excel

[Doug C]

what boots are these man? veery nice!

aren't those Patinas?Kiya ,whatever happened to them?

Demonito, Almostnice is absolutely right!! They are from Patina Shoes and I read about 'em at selectism... the article is from May '08 and said that they'd be carried by SelfEdge and be under $600 for a custom pair. Unfortunately I just checked Selfedge's site and there is no mention of them. Did this ever happen ? I can't find any other info on them, but their perfect. Here's the article about 3/4 down the page:

almostnice and st199ml

can you give me the background on your exchange there? Figure it has to do with football rivalry and the hijinx that ensues off of that

but the shoes factor in how?

Among the Thugs is a good book. I believe I own a copy somewhere in my stacks... Soul Stylists sounds interesting as well.
