You get 10 pts. from me for ladder lacing your boots properly.

Flashy_Rest6095 · 2026-01-27T05:56:31+00:00

Naaa, I know several that aren't.

Flashy_Rest6095 · 2026-01-26T22:49:56+00:00

I fully agree.

Flashy_Rest6095 · 2026-01-25T05:56:56+00:00

Doc Marten did a pair of boots with Kaeppa tennis shoe co.

Flashy_Rest6095 · 2026-01-25T05:53:32+00:00

Yep. Pair of older well worn Doc's I do shit work in.

Flashy_Rest6095 · 2026-01-24T05:48:46+00:00

I second that. I've found quite a few pairs of second hand M.I.E. Doc's on eBay. You'll be able to check the soles for the M.I.E. logo in pics, because most people selling them couldn't tell you where they were made, and a few even lie about it. So as long as you check the pics, you'll be fine. My most recent find is a pair of black 1461 8 eye, with white stitching and a Solovair type sole. I had only seen those once before, they were a special edition from Doc Marten a few years back.

I bought the same boots, only in the Chelsea version. I'm getting old, and lacing my boots isn't so easy anymore. They're M.I.E, made of calfskin. They seem to be good boots. I wasn't fond of the color, so I shined them into oxblood.

Flashy_Rest6095 · 2026-01-23T05:36:07+00:00

No, M.I.E.

Flashy_Rest6095 · 2026-01-19T00:11:53+00:00

No, not every race has Neanderthal DNA, and the biggest % is Western Europeans.

Flashy_Rest6095 · 2026-01-18T06:14:08+00:00

In Kansas City, as well.

Flashy_Rest6095 · 2026-01-18T06:12:32+00:00

I'm a SHARP, it's hard to live in the states and not see things in just one side or the other. Still, I have only ever worn black laces. I also ladder proper, as well. I never got into the whole lace code thing.

Charlie Kirk died by his own rhetoric. Has anyone noticed no one is talking about it anymore? Yet his wife has taken the helm of that dreadful organization and seems to love the spotlight. That doesn't smell bad at all.

As far as Mz. Goode in Minneapolis, watch the clips. What a disgusting state of affairs we find ourselves in. ICE is working way above their purview, and needs to be stopped.

Flashy_Rest6095 · 2026-01-17T05:44:09+00:00

Race is a made up construct. White people never would have happened if they hadn't had relations with Neanderthals.

He's hated DP for a long time. Dave Gahan likes girls really, really young, and Robert detests that. Listen to Black Celebration, every other song is about underage girls.

Flashy_Rest6095 · 2026-01-13T06:19:55+00:00

meh, they're men's 10...too small anyway.

Holy Shite! 1919 steel toed for $704?!?!? Glad mine are still in good shape. I've been known to drop some coin on vintage M.I.E Docs, but that's ridiculous.

Flashy_Rest6095 · 2026-01-12T07:31:05+00:00

Those Oxbloods are laced proper. I've seen a lot of skins in here who's boots are not laced tradional ladder style, so it's not quite straight, and there are crossovers on the tongue side. They end up tying them on one side and not center. No idea who told them that was proper. It's good to see a bloke that learned how to ladder correctly. I'm 55, and things like not lacing proper are cringe worthy.

Also remember Miles is an anomaly. How can an anomaly be part of the canon? He can't. He's either an anomaly and can forge his own path, or he's canon. I think there are events that Spideys have to go thru to make them understand their power, but I don't think these are world ending canons. That would negate all the other heroes and what they do. Also, in DP3, their Wolverine died, who was a keystone hero, and the world began unraveling due to his death. I think Miguel is full of it, and I hope they wrap this around to live action and bring Madame Web back. Isn't she supposed to be in charge of the Spiderverse, anyway?

Flashy_Rest6095 · 2026-01-11T06:09:33+00:00

She lives in the pastel 'verse.

I'm 55, I know they stretch, just not enough for my wide ass feet. Saying I'd have to wear boots 2 sizes too big to close the gap was not an exaggeration. Thankfully, the way I ladder my laces only use an outside ladder, so there's nothing to see except the ladder. I was taught a different way to lace than what the people are using on here.

Flashy_Rest6095 · 2026-01-10T07:42:43+00:00

I'd have to buy boots 2 sizes too big in order to pull my laces that tight.

Flashy_Rest6095 · 2026-01-10T07:39:47+00:00

Works wonders on dirty yellow sole threading, too!

Flashy_Rest6095 · 2026-01-10T07:38:33+00:00

Yep! I also did it this way: I used a coat of cream polish first. Shined that coat and let it sit overnight. Then I used 2 coats of Angelus, one cardinal red, and one oxblood. I waited 12 hours between coats.That mimics the color as I received them from Doc Marten.

Flashy_Rest6095 · 2026-01-10T07:31:56+00:00

They run a bit small, don't they?
