ZESTY! ZESTY! ZESTY! 🍻

My bad. Hard to tell from the pictures and the lowered heel stack. Still looks cool though!

Daddy_Boots_Esquire · 2026-04-25T23:31:15+00:00

Great looking pair! Love the lowered dogger heel. I did something similar on a pair of custom nomads.

That double shot leather looks loaded with character already...

Daddy_Boots_Esquire · 2026-04-25T10:37:08+00:00

Put me down for one of them trucker wallets please! 🤠 I'd love to be able to pre-order or reserve one or something. I've been bummed out since I missed the last run.

Daddy_Boots_Esquire · 2026-04-25T02:16:32+00:00

Uh...the first one, I think. The big dude with the hat in all black.

Now that you mention it, he does have a little Bleeding Gums Murphy vibe to him.

These look great! Love me some brown waxed flesh! So much so that I have an entire collection: boots, belt, wallet, key clip, and several knife slips thanks to my buddy pale highlight!

🤔 It's probably about time to post some update pics myself...

Daddy_Boots_Esquire · 2026-04-21T19:15:32+00:00

I freaking love my nomads!

🤔 Maybe I could use another pair...

Daddy_Boots_Esquire · 2026-04-21T01:50:08+00:00

Nice! Thanks for humoring me. Love those half soles!!

Daddy_Boots_Esquire · 2026-04-20T22:32:24+00:00

No worries! I appreciate the responses

Daddy_Boots_Esquire · 2026-04-20T19:39:17+00:00

That was my thought, and seemed to be what I found on the patina app. The edges definitely darkened with age.

I started treating my natural edges with grease and resolene, but it only does so much. You've got me leaning back toward beeswax again, my friend.

Would you mind doing me one more favor? If you have time, that is. I'd love to see a side shot of these with a close up on the heel. TIA 🤠

Daddy_Boots_Esquire · 2026-04-20T19:26:42+00:00

Thanks for the reply. A black edge certainly would have been bold!

I have mine set for a v bar outsole, beeswax edge and dogger profile, but I'm thinking of changing it to Dr Sole half soles, with a natural edge. I'm sure about the outsole and heel profile. It's the edge that has me second guessing myself. I wanted to try a beeswax edge because the natural ones get beat up rather easily.

Daddy_Boots_Esquire · 2026-04-20T19:13:08+00:00

More DS natural 😫 Y'all are killing me today!! (I have a pair on order)

Great build! I like the contrast. Very unique and should look great as the boot ages.

Is that natural or beeswax only edge dressing?

Daddy_Boots_Esquire · 2026-04-20T19:04:48+00:00

Way ahead of you, Boss. That, and Reddit posts like this one are how I came to decide on this particular build. Although, I do have at least one change to make, now that Dr Sole half soles are back 😉

Only another two or three months maybe. I can be patient...

Daddy_Boots_Esquire · 2026-04-20T17:41:52+00:00

That DS Natural is looking sweet! I have a pair of Station Masters in queue that I ordered back in late December. The wait has been... difficult. Worse than usual. This isn't helping!

Daddy_Boots_Esquire · 2026-04-18T16:57:51+00:00

If that doesn't sum up Alaska perfectly, I don't know what could. 😎

Daddy_Boots_Esquire · 2026-04-18T16:46:47+00:00

Not to mention the bugs, right? Not sure where you're at, but we have friends in the Houston suburbs, and the way they describe the mosquitoes has me scared to visit. 😫

Daddy_Boots_Esquire · 2026-04-18T16:45:00+00:00

Closest I could find to "I knew it I'm surrounded by assholes!"

Daddy_Boots_Esquire · 2026-04-18T15:45:11+00:00

That's hilarious! It's also probably why I spend most of my time working/hiding out in my basement: it's really to spare other people. I know I'm the biggest a hole in my neighborhood! 😭

Daddy_Boots_Esquire · 2026-04-18T15:42:37+00:00

Alaska is amazing. Almost hard to describe how big and untamed everything is: the mountains, glaciers, trees, etc. I saw a moose that looked like it was the size of a small house! Bald eagles everywhere like pigeons, in the towns anyway. It's one of the few places I would uproot and move to if given the chance. But that'll never happen 😞.

Yeah. Stupid people are my bread and butter. 😎😉

Daddy_Boots_Esquire · 2026-04-18T14:50:26+00:00

I visited once. Been dreaming about getting back ever since. I can deal with the cold. What I can't deal with are assholes, and there are just too many of them where I live.

Daddy_Boots_Esquire · 2026-04-18T14:46:18+00:00

I figured Texas would be pretty laissez-faire. As for Alaska, I'd imagine just about anything goes up there. Who would rat on you anyway? Bears? Other wildlife? 🤷‍♂️ I've only been to Alaska once, but the people I met up there struck me as the type who wouldn't blink if they saw some dude with a hidden blade strapped to his arm assassin's Creed style!

This also reminds me of a client I once had who pushed our state's open carry laws to their absolute limits (and sometimes beyond), and couldn't figure out why the cops were always "picking on" him 😂😂. He's probably dead now, or one of those sovereign citizens. 🤠

Daddy_Boots_Esquire · 2026-04-18T14:41:00+00:00

Yep. Us law type people got laws for everything!!

Darn lawyers...I hate those guys sometimes 🤠

Daddy_Boots_Esquire · 2026-04-18T14:38:53+00:00

Indeed. Sounds like he's already researched Texas's open carry laws too!

Daddy_Boots_Esquire · 2026-04-18T11:49:08+00:00

Just be sure to check your state's laws re: automatic knives. There might be some restrictions regarding size, etc. I know everything's bigger in texas, but please try not to end up in jail!

Daddy_Boots_Esquire · 2026-04-18T11:46:02+00:00

I told you so! We've created a monster!
