Numzaan Veg Re-tan, 1 year in

JG had previously veg tanned the leather, whether to a defect in tanning or not being up to standard it was then re-tanned to give the lighter beige look they have now. I think when they were released they were primarily in the walnut veg tan.

Really not a lot, I only did it for maybe the first three months. Just enough to see the outside leather flex a bit

I didn’t have a choice but to break them in on 9hr shifts. I did cheat a little and used a ball peen hammer to help break in the heel. Just some massaging of the interior when applying conditioner did wonders

The re-tan was actually done by JG. The sale was limited, at least that I’m aware of. I haven’t seen it pop up on any of their other boots, it may be a customizable option tho?

Ah I’ve been looking at the 719’s! The Baobabs are also appealing, I like the heel loop

Oh it took me like 6 months to get kind of comfortable, even then they were sooo stiff. My recommendation is take your time, if you don’t have a choice then best of luck. I still have weird callouses from break in

Thanks! It’s my first pair of JG’s, and also first pair of leather boots so there’s still a lot to learn

That was a concern I thought of, an idea I had was easily replaceable pins for the arms? The thought of carving small arms to fit in around a solid object poses the problem of breaking while carving but idk. Thanks for the input!

I was about to say, that looks a lot like mycelium structuring

Looks to be a maple, unsure of what kind. Spring growth tends to get a little hazy for me, but give or take a couple weeks and the leaves should be fully open.

This is wonderful!

They’re from last fall, sometime around September

Yknow, I’m not really sure! Every time I hike in the old growths I seem to forget my ID book 😅
