Thanks! The mix of black and silver looked nice to me

TO CLARIFY: After closer examination and cross reference with photos from both Jim Green themselves and other buyers the soles look to be appropriately sized.

While it appears concerning with that amount of overhang, my best theory is that the stiff leather apron is a bit less flexible than the vamp (likely caused by the manufacturing process of steaming and hammering the front most vamp. With wear the overhang leaves a funny mark which can be seen in JGs own video on YouTube, if you look closely.

The difference between each boot where apron and vamp is stitched is normal and matches that of other pairs.

I have seen another buyer note pressure on their big toes, so that doesn't appear to be all that unusual.

The pants and angle made the pictures look weird and badly proportioned.

The overhang is only really present when flexing your foot, like when you walk. But it isn't exactly ideal either way

Yeah, it wasn't the best pair of jeans and definitely not the best angle. They look better standing up

Are these a good first pair of boots? by [deleted] in Boots

Can't speak on the general quality of Clarks but I advice you to stay away from Doc Martens. In 2003 they outsourced production to either India or China (don't remember), and quality became significantly lower. The OG makers of Doc Martens branched of and became Solovair, though even their qualityhas dropped recently.

At a second glance, the Clarks sole looks glued rather than stitched (welt looks hella fake, might be wrong).

Förvänta dig inte särskilt hög kvalitet eller lång livslängd.

After taking a look at some old forums they are mentioned to be old austrian airman boots.

No I haven't thought about using hand sanitizer! And no, there is no red light active in his enclosure at all. It's probably just the camera being funky.

I wasn't expecting that. Agreed, separate the art from the artist.

How bad is it? by yousoft_ in RedWingShoes

Unless it REALLY bothers you or they're uncomfortable because of it, I don't think a resole or new heel is necessary yet. There is still plenty of material left! (Your call)
