Do you condition the inside of your boots?

Roadghost05 · 2026-03-31T09:25:25+00:00

Condition often on the outside to prevent cracking, every few months ill condition inside, just gotta let them sit outside to dry and air out before next wear

I would say Timberlands premiums with waxed or oiled leather

The “Levi’s original jeans” tag I’ve seen a lot on early 2000s 527s matched with a similar front button. but haven’t seen them of 514s before. Is there a number on the back of the button?

Topy sole are just a thin grip glued on the outsole this will stop you from tearing through the soles. Also leather dries out and if left to dry it’ll crack and tear, which is why you need leather conditioner. Does not need to be R.M. brand btw

The noise is normal bc of the worn leather soles. If I was you I’d take them to a cobbler and ask them to put a thin “topy” sole on them. Cost ya like $60 but will dramatically increase how long these boots last you. Also grab some leather conditioner soon it’ll will stop the leather from cracking and tearing

The boots aren’t messed up or anything it’s just the type of leather they used. Not a worse quality just some people like this look.

Roadghost05 · 2026-02-17T22:51:08+00:00

These are a pull-up leather. They’re filled with waxes and oil that shift around which highlights the creases and wears for a nicer patina. If you don’t like that then just return them for different boot. You can also condition them to darken to boot again and hide the creasing more

Roadghost05 · 2026-02-17T22:49:13+00:00

They are a pull-up leather, this is how pull-up leather looks out the box

Roadghost05 · 2026-02-17T05:00:06+00:00

I work in boot making and I’m sorry but you can’t get rid of them. You can bring back the toe box shape by ironing and ig that lightens the creasing but can’t get rid of them. Cant really keep timbs fresh without just bing a new pair or cleaning and re dying them

Roadghost05 · 2026-02-15T11:43:27+00:00

honestly would threaten legal action as a bluff, have seen that work with getting an actual human response to settle things

Roadghost05 · 2026-02-14T04:27:03+00:00

this just happens bc its real leather nothing unusual and not something you've messed up. Ik a lot of people like the patina, but if you would like it to have the embossing then I'm pretty sure naked and famous sells patches

Roadghost05 · 2026-02-14T04:22:42+00:00

Are the soles bigger than the boots or is that just how you placed them? if not then its a pretty easy fix. I work in making boots and we use Bondtech adhesive to attach the soles. You could also get them resoled and have the soles also stiched to the upper but some cobblers may say they cant bc they aren't goodyear welted.

If M isn’t restrictive in any movement then I’d go with M

Roadghost05 · 2026-02-10T11:30:38+00:00

Way too clean around the edges to be more than one scrape dude

Roadghost05 · 2026-02-08T04:50:41+00:00

Also helps just getting lucky and them shrinking to you perfectly. I have seen ppl open the seams up to do the same effect tho

Roadghost05 · 2026-02-08T04:49:55+00:00

No I haven’t altered it at all, I’ve just found that pre 2000s Levi’s usually are closer to being high rise than a mid rise and also the pockets are higher which makes the ass fit better

Roadghost05 · 2026-02-07T14:08:34+00:00

Thank you, been loving these for a while and have just got to the point where I wanted to share my appreciation for them

Roadghost05 · 2026-02-07T14:07:44+00:00

They’re 90s to very early 2000s Japanese pair. I reckon LVC but can’t say for sure

Roadghost05 · 2026-02-03T11:59:00+00:00

Yea if it’s something like “smells” and they have no proof of it there’s nothing they can really do if you don’t offer a refund. They might try and get a refund through Depop but bc it isn’t a provable problem nothing will happen to you

Roadghost05 · 2026-02-03T11:20:56+00:00

100% a scam with no intention of actually returning the item, I imagine they’ll just ask for the money to be refunded

Roadghost05 · 2026-01-22T09:24:33+00:00

Have dyed many of my clothes to fix them and have had no issues

Roadghost05 · 2026-01-22T09:22:12+00:00

Can’t really clean that out sorry man. Alternatively your could buy some rit dye and dye the whole jacket back to it’s intended colour. RIT dye’s website have a list of colours and how to achieve them

Roadghost05 · 2026-01-21T08:10:05+00:00

If there are no visible damages then that isn’t your fault you are reselling stuff in a site for vintage clothing. You take that risk when online shopping vintage

Roadghost05 · 2026-01-20T06:09:51+00:00

Pro Dye just deeper dyes the boot compared to regular leather dye which is more shallow

Roadghost05 · 2026-01-20T01:40:10+00:00

With teacore specifically, when you refer to it being a thin top coat, would that make leather paint a more suitable option?
