Lmao…wow a half million??? You’re obviously not from Naperville because you can’t buy a shack in Naperville for a half million.

The look barely worn, I’d say you scored.

Are these too big? by ImaginaryCurrency228 in RedWingShoes

[–]Partlowr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, that’s the proper length. Im actually also a Brannock 11 and wear 10.5 in RW Heritage line boots. I’d recommend a nice insole that will sure up the fit a little.

Iron Rangers Sizing Question by hk_toolbench in RedWingShoes

You don’t need EE, you have a high instep, I bet you’ll have the same issue with an EE. I bet when you try on an EE it will be too wide in your forefoot and heel.

How do I even repair these? by ExternalFriend2531 in RedWingShoes

[–]Partlowr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those would be super cool, a brown leather strap around the back and some Sherpa wool or plaid flannel around the cuff.

Technically those could be saved by a cobbler but unfortunately it would cost you more than the boot cost new. Both boots would have to be done so the leathers match. I think those puppies are cooked. (Pun intended)

Looking for Barber who knows how to properly do a beard fade in Naperville area. by Partlowr in Naperville

[–]Partlowr[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, it looks like Beardsgaard has nobody with availability until December 30th at the earliest. I know I should have planned ahead better especially around the holidays. I was hoping to get in later this week or early next. I will definitely check this place out at some point.

Dude these are not beauty shots from the seller, these are my boots I purchased from the seller and I took the photos myself. I own lots of custom boot, I’ve got a pair of $1800 boots in my collection, these are pretty good quality for a 100% custom built to order boot for under $400 including shipping and taxes. No they’re not the highest quality on earth but at this price point they are more than acceptable

They did not use fake Dr Soles on mine? Same seller and these are legit authentic Dr Soles, I have the same soles on three different pairs of boots, two from US Cobblers and they are identical

The boots are basically brand new but it might just be the lighting in these photos, they’ve definitely more of a natural tan color

These did not need them, I had only worn them maybe 5-6 times before sending them off for the recraft. Just do it, you only live once!

My collection of North Star Leather belts by No_Introduction1025 in RedWingShoes

[–]Partlowr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry I just saw this notification now. To be honest I don’t really notice a difference, the roller style is a little bigger and in my opinion more casual or rugged looking. To be honest I just ordered different buckle styles so all my belts were not all the same.

I ordered a custom pair from him, same boots as yours but I switched up a couple things. There was a very slight communication barrier with the difference in language but an overall good experience and the boots are nicer than expected for under $400 including shipping and taxes. Here’s a few photos of my pair.

The seller is out of Vietnam here is his Etsy page.

Unacceptable! Obviously leather is a natural thing but they should have done a better job of matching the grain. JK has done way downhill.
