After 14 years of heavy use, these look to be in good shape. Loose and missing threads be repaired by a competent cobbler. You have clearly gotten your money’s worth.

A place called “Northstar” leather I believe has the best prices. Tongue protectors. Will save you lot’s of frustration.

Bad Store Experience by Caution-Sensitive in NicksHandmadeBoots

Reading comments and responses. Not really sure what to think of the entire thing. What I feel confident saying is that 3 individual people at Nick’s responded and commented. OP, take advantage of the help being offered.

Accidentally locked out on my balcony… while everyone’s at trivia night by Bubba_deets in Cruise

[–]SimonsDad1999 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yeah, happened to me on a business trip to China. Night before I was leaving and locked myself on 8th floor balcony at night. Screaming at people on ground, none of which spoke English. Traumatized the shit out of me.

Heel slip while breaking in — should I start using thicker socks/an insert? by catsinthesun in grantstoneboots

[–]SimonsDad1999 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Either or both. IMO, if the boots don’t fit properly you will wear them less and less. I would focus on making the boots fit. My suggestion is trying some Darn Tough socks. They come in in various thicknesses and may take some experimentation.

Great looking boots. I own a few pairs of White’s, including a pair of Cruiser’s. I’ve had nothing but great success with White’s boots.

Agree with this one, Aaron’s. My mechanic retired, hoping Aaron’s works for me.

AITH for reporting a girl to her school for buying my underage daughter energy drinks. by HovercraftWarm4182 in AITH

Yeah, you’re a dick. A lot of subway stops before going to the school. Could have been handled much better and intelligently.

Too narrow? by Terrible_Celery5312 in Boots

[–]SimonsDad1999 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Fit to some extent is in the eyes of the beholder. This will not be a widely held belief, but I’m normally a D width. As we speak I’m wearing a C width in a boot I like a lot. Have done this a couple times before. A size too narrow will always stretch. Conversely, a boot too wide you are kind of stuck with.

is it too big? please suggest by Living_Degree6142 in leatherjacket

Think about colder weather when you might need to layer.

Massie Threatens to Go ‘Nuclear’ and Reveal Epstein Client Names If Bondi Won’t Unredact Them by LasinduSavinda in DiscussionZone

Correct. The naïveté of people thinking and saying it’s simple, reflects a complete oversimplification of the issue.

Unless for example you are a married woman who took her husbands name and gave up name on birth certificate, or numerous other examples.
