Shoes that look better with age...

[chronoaug]

Those are from fabfour(the skulls jeans people) If you look in the skulls thread there is a link to their website. It's a japanese site, but they're friendly and familiar with sufu people. I don't know what to call that color though.

i know several members have tricker's stow in acorn antique, but i haven't seen any real world pics of them, just the web photos. can anybody post up theirs? i'd like to get an idea of true to life colors, and how they look while being worn.

here is mine tricker's stow in acorn antique with leather sole and fittng 5

anyway,...i think the color goes like this from lightest to darkest

acorn antique, c'shade, marron,expresso, then black

there were new when i take those pics.....now has been almost 2 or 3 months

i really like these here...

[Darkadious]

i think this is an old sphoxx waywt; what color would those shoes be considered...?

also, can anyone take a stab at the specific shoe?

captoes.

i'm not sure if those are the same ones since i recall them having a different picture, maybe even a lighter color.

I think the color would be tan but I've seen few brands use cognac.

I'm really starting to like this color, for some reason it speaks to me

you are correct. however, there is another color in between acorn and C shade called 1001 burnished as well.

according to pediwear:

The colours in order of darkness (starting with the lightest) are :

Acorn (a light yellowish brown)

1001 Burnished (a light brown)

Tan C (a mid tan shade)

Marron (a deeper reddish brown)

Expresso (dark brown)

Black

interesting...would like to see the color or the 1001 burnished, i never heard of it tho...but pediwear gotta be right

Went through my dad's closet today. Found quite a few nice pieces from back in his good ol' young days. These were one of my discoveries. I'll definately be wearing these to work from now on..hope they'll age well?

Quick question: what are those little things your nail/stick onto the tip/heel of the bottom of the shoe again? They supposedly prolong the life of the sole?

What would these match with? I'm colour blind but I would imagine that this shade of brown isn't particularly easy to match right? Blue jeans? What type / colour top?

[axtsang]

How much are they? Best applied on when the leather sole is still new or? Sigh for being a noob....

[bonanz]

I don't think they're really necessary unless you know you wear out your toes and heels unevenly. I would just wear them normally and take care of the uppers

[dunkin deeznuts]

just after light polishing.

those look freakin amazin!!!!

[drivel]

trying to wear them as much as possible lately.

[moykky]

^^ It's been some time... Nice pair of boots!

[fre-co]

The more pictures I see of these Alden's the more I really want some.....

these are fucking incredible... +rep, i need to start saving now.

[batorizer]

those indys look really worn but the sole doesn't seem so bad; have you had them resoled? what the hell have you been doing in those?

Englandsomething have the first boots and have posted wdywt with them. really nice boots obviously. Dave and a couple more have the 1911s aswell, and have discussed the earlier in this thread. On my wishlist aswell, but I think they´re too narrow for me...

[amlai]

Not aged yet... rather they just arrived from Tom at LeatherSoul. I don't think I've seen anyone post a picture of Indys in #8 shell cordovan, so I thought I'd share:

With the double leather sole, they look pretty different from the stock Indys to me.

[Bill2]

I swear to god.....first thing I do after robbing that liquor store.....#8 shell indy's.....sweet christ those are some fine boots

Checked the history of englandmj7 (don't know if that is the correct nickname) but could not find the pic. Anyway, did a search on google:

A lot of pics on many different Red Wing models there.

Yeah, the sole does look a little better in that pic, plus I tend to wear the inside of the heel more than the outside. For some reason though, the soles on all my shoes always last a long time. I do anything in these boots, I even played football at a bbq in them. They're supposed to be work boots so I don't baby them to much, besides cleaning the dirt off.

Yep, I have the 1908s.

I got some Red Wing insoles for them and they are more comfortable than my sneakers; love em. I'll try to remember to take some pics this evening. Here's one from WAYWT:

[Hard2Fit]

Those look great!

[Hard2Fit]

Anyone own the Red Wing Copper Rough & Tough boot (9125 E) currently sold on Cultizm? I'd really like to see how high they are and the traction on the outsole.
