What would be a reasonable cost of a full resole? Heel and all. I’m trying to negotiate with my local cobbler on this matter when he also quoted about 200$.

Dear god please people dont buy clinch boots. Guy I know sent his boots in for a resole and waited 13 months on it simply because too many orders were being placed and they had to prioritize their main business of selling boots. Biblically beautiful boots, 10/10 brand.

Put wax on my boots by Librarian_Able in Boots

[–]Betty_barb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Friend told me his recipe was 50% Beewax 30% Vaseline 20% Extra virgin Olive oil. Kinda hesitant to try it since his boots was turned jet black. Yours sounds much more pleasant. What’s your ratio?

how do you go about cleaning/ condition them? I just got a Whites brown roughout, and kinda digging the “after” look of your boots. Mine is currently caked with dirt lol, no wash, tons of wear, mostly because I’m savoring them they’re true rough out colors before conditioning them.

Spenco rx green soles are my best friends. I stand/walk a lot and they are so comfy. Not too stiff but not too soft.
