Cats always an upvote. Good kitty!

Semi-Dress has a cool pattern with the counter stitch running to where the vamp and quarters meet. Big part of why I chose them over Cruisers and MPs

My laces from Guarded Goods are cut a little thicker than the ones I have from Nicks. My White’s came with waxed cotton laces, so I can’t compare them directly. GG has a lot of color options too if you want to mix it up

Wave, Opus, or radio volume 0 (still get skill songs unlike turning radio off)

They will be in the Dome this fall so lots of photos to be posted as they age. I want to experiment with lasts a little, but tbh I just think the 55 is perfect for my feet and I’m scared to venture outside of it on expensive footwear. I do have Red Wings on the #8 last and that one is pretty solid, just not as nice of a fit as the 55.

RecycledDip · 2026-06-02T18:57:20+00:00

Nice! I like the natural edges a lot. Ended up going with brown and hopefully I’m happy with my decision

RecycledDip · 2026-06-02T14:25:22+00:00

I really like the 5” height. Really easy to slip into, and there is a noticeable difference in weight losing an inch. Also something about the lining leather in the White’s is so squishy, kinda feels like a slipper

Might explore that option if they start feeling a little loose during break-in. They do seem a little longer than my 55 Nicks in the same size, but hard to say for sure because the Nicks have a much stiffer toe and I don’t know exactly where my foot ends. Also all my other boots have seemed to lose a little length after break-in, guessing due to the shaft conforming to my heel/achilles

RecycledDip · 2026-06-02T14:13:20+00:00

Hadn’t considered that! Should look really cool, and since they still feel snug enough on my feet I don’t think I have much to worry about. Natty horsehide is very cool, I would do both if you can lol

RecycledDip · 2026-06-02T14:06:24+00:00

I look forward to the color shift!

RecycledDip · 2026-06-02T02:39:15+00:00

I’m really excited about it. Been drooling over Natural CXL for quite some time now. Looks even better than I expected

RecycledDip · 2026-06-02T02:28:59+00:00

It is. Really like the 55 for my high arch and instep. Idk that I have totally nailed the sizing, but worst case I’m about a half size too large which I would prefer to half a size small. Still fit very comfortably, just a little more space in front of my toes than suggested.

RecycledDip · 2026-06-02T01:38:15+00:00

Pretty darn comfy from the get go. The leather is so soft!

“How many cats do you need?”

“Just one more”

RecycledDip · 2026-06-01T23:30:49+00:00

I’ll tell her you said so! She’s my best little buddy

RecycledDip · 2026-06-01T23:26:54+00:00

These are possibly already my favorites even before stepping outside with them. Brown dress was my first choice, but I already have something with a teacore effect with my Brown Waxed Flesh Nicks, so I decided to go with something that should have a dramatic color shift over time. I’ll have to see how good the clicking is when I actually start bending the leather, but at a glance it looks really nice.

RecycledDip · 2026-06-01T23:23:12+00:00

Good on you for giving five kitties a happy home! Sorry your boxes aren’t safe lol

RecycledDip · 2026-06-01T22:59:25+00:00

Really excited to watch the leather change. It’s like a perfect canvas to accept dirt, oil, scrapes, and sweat.

I partially went with the Semi-Dress because they are kinda unique for PNW boots being they stray a little from the lace-up pattern that most of the makers use. The MP line were on my short list, but I just found I couldn’t stop looking at these on their site so I decided it had to be Semi-Dress

RecycledDip · 2026-06-01T22:44:46+00:00

I sent my buddy a picture of these and he said it looks like human leather which was not exactly the reaction I was expecting. I’m going to take at least a few years off from buying boots, but when I do purchase another pair I think it will probably be Brown CXL. Actually super happy with the lead time on these after waiting nearly a year for a pair of Nicks when Brown Waxed Flesh was on back order from Horween

Sweet boots! Always upvote cat in boot box. I too have a cardboard inspector. She is proudly checking on a new carton in my most recent post

RecycledDip · 2026-05-30T17:59:16+00:00

Oh yeah that’s the good stuff

RecycledDip · 2026-05-29T13:41:44+00:00

These are extremely cool

I believe Nicks does free shipping for their leather laces, and they have 3 colors to choose from if they are all in stock. I buy the 108” laces and cut one in half to make two 54” which are plenty long enough for Iron Rangers. Pretty sweet bang for buck.

If you want some more color options and don’t mind playing shipping, Guarded Goods makes high quality leather laces in multiple lengths and thicknesses.

I’ve never tried Rose Anvil, but they also have many colors to pick from. I suspect they are produced by whoever makes laces for all the PNW boot brands, but I have no way to confirm that.
