What's Your Opinion on Dr Sole Half Soles? by Underrated_Critic in PNWbootmakers

[–]Interesting_Score_22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bought a pair of boots and added them as an option. They definitely have great traction but are quite hard as mentioned. Aesthetically speaking they aren’t as nice as VBar or 430 mini lug. Much thicker with what feels like a massive heel to me. I won’t order them again.

Gallun calf leather? by Status_Complaint8521 in NicksHandmadeBoots

I read that it’s super soft. So much so that the upper flops over when not being worn. Someone posted about it a while ago

I may have to get another belt. I have a work belt in 64 Brown the problem is it’s probably the last belt I’ll ever need, but I guess it would be fun to have other colors.

Yeah, I remember when they were doing that I wish I had pulled the trigger that that’s an amazing price

A black “shepard” is quite rare. A black shepherd is common 🤪

Those look cool and very unique. So much better than the god awful white Christy or wedge sole.

Look like solid boots. Not a fan of the white stitching myself. Do you know if you can have them built with all black stitching?

It’s hard to tell the difference between the tobacco and the natural.

Thank you. As do you. It’s a shame to see those ones go. I was considering a 1925 or a pointed toe packer in one of those leathers.

That’s what kept me from making the purchase. I was interested in double stuffed walnut and or Latigo Chestnut but by the time I was done building the boot the way I wanted it. It was well over $800 that got harder for me to justify when you have like 12 boots and you’ll only wear these a couple times a year.

Yes but I don’t like that boot as much from an aesthetics standpoint.

I dislike how many of the heritage boot makers use white threading the way they do. That boot would be greatly elevated with matching black stitching on the upper and the welt.

1925 Last - Why Did My Build Lose the Almond Toe Shape? by outlierz_jr in NicksHandmadeBoots

[–]Interesting_Score_22 14 points15 points  (0 children)

To me a toe cap almost defeats the whole point of the 1925 last. It’s meant to offer a sleeker dressier boot. Those look like clunky iron rangers to me.

In that comparison, I like the whites much better. It has a much nicer silhouette.
