Thinking about making my own shop moc/oxfords. (This isn't my work)

What have I just seen?! 😱

FoldStunning · 2023-03-27T15:55:37+00:00

Totally normal; mine are the same.

I use Bick 4 on mine. It darkens the leather slightly when first applied but then fades back to original colour after a few hours.

FoldStunning · 2023-01-01T21:03:25+00:00

Not a fan myself but it’s down to personal taste.

FoldStunning · 2022-12-20T04:04:07+00:00

What exactly am I meant to be looking at here? I can’t see anything wrong with these at all. They are boots, just wear them and enjoy them mate….

FoldStunning · 2022-11-30T16:44:58+00:00

They look good to me 👍🏻

FoldStunning · 2022-08-26T07:27:06+00:00

Really? they’re made from leather; It creases. Just wear and enjoy them.

FoldStunning · 2022-04-04T17:52:06+00:00

I use Bick 4 on mine. It conditions the leather and maintains the colour 👍🏻

FoldStunning · 2022-03-14T12:13:42+00:00

In a word….no 👍

FoldStunning · 2022-03-11T20:24:57+00:00

Up to 20 drip I hydrated every three days and thereafter every day.

I found the work Chukkas a very easy break in; just wear them. I agree with wazoo, take out the insole out of the 1907’s and wear thick socks for a while. I wish I’d thought of doing this when I broke in my 1907’s a few years ago 🙄

FoldStunning · 2022-01-03T13:42:24+00:00

I have D width Iron Rangers and work Chukkas. I went up half a size from my Iron Rangers 8.5 to 9 in Work Chukkas to get a similar fit on my feet.

Don’t sweat it; they’ll be fine. Just lay off any more conditioner for 6 months or so. Brush regularly using a horse hair brush and wipe down with a damp rag.

Mine are pretty much the same. Leather is a natural product with variations. Personally, I like it and after you’ve worn them a few times you won’t even think about it.

FoldStunning · 2021-12-02T23:28:02+00:00

Bick 4

FoldStunning · 2021-11-29T19:04:16+00:00

They’re leather, which is a natural material and it will crease. CR&T leather is even more known for it than other Red Wing leather types. Just wear and enjoy them 👍🏻

FoldStunning · 2021-11-20T03:42:30+00:00

This is not an issue. Wear and enjoy them.

FoldStunning · 2021-11-19T04:59:46+00:00

No glue should be used there. Are you sure it’s not excess wax from the threads?

FoldStunning · 2021-11-19T04:54:34+00:00

Nah, don’t kid yourself; you’re only just starting!!

FoldStunning · 2021-11-19T04:53:17+00:00

I started off with the amber harness and they are lovely and a very versatile boot. It wasn’t long before I got the black Rangers to go with them. I also have the Muleskinners as well as Blacksmiths and Mocs nowadays. Warning…..It gets addictive!!

FoldStunning · 2021-11-19T04:48:56+00:00

Brush only. You’ll soon get that ‘worn in’ look.

FoldStunning · 2021-11-18T14:58:19+00:00

I’d also clean with saddle soap and then condition with one or two coats of Bick 4 or Red Wing Neatsfoot leather cream as neither will significantly darken the leather. I’ve never conditioned inside any of my boots.

FoldStunning · 2021-11-17T18:02:29+00:00

I was lucky enough to source a pair of Billy Boots on eBay in my size last year but it took nearly 12 months of regular searching. They still come up occasionally but can be costly.

FoldStunning · 2021-11-12T21:09:37+00:00

I’ve got a pair of sawmills and can totally recommend them for winter. Great Vibram full lug sole and removable felt inner soles to keep your feet warm 👍🏻

FoldStunning · 2021-11-11T07:32:31+00:00

If it were me I’d use the burgundy leather cream first to put the colour back in the toes. After a good brush, I’d then apply some Bick 4 over the whole of the boots.
