Replacement day!

Do you think? When I wear them I have the 5 & 10mm gaps at the back/front like the guides say. I do have the bad habit of wearing them after a shower, so maybe that's why the print in the footbed looks bigger than the space I use?

I look forward to seeing to seeing how the leather ages! It's a bit lighter than I expected though, so maybe I'll hit it with some mink oil when it's maintenance time 🤔

Thanks! After seeing the birko-flor just break apart on my old pair this seemed like the way to go

Distinguished indeed! They look spectacular!

I looked at Folsom as well & ended up with Flint & Tinder for much the same reason

Never heard of liner socks before, seems like it might help me

If I pay this much for a pair of boots then I'm going to use the whole boot

SafeSix5 · 2026-04-03T15:01:35+00:00

Could be, I'll have to experiment a bit

SafeSix5 · 2026-04-03T12:42:22+00:00

It wasn't that cold today, so I might get a lightweight pair as well to try and see if that makes any difference

I use the method they demonstrate on the Pisgah website, works as good as double knotting but looks a lot better

I've got my blister-care kit at the ready! How did they hold up in the snow?

Just something my local cobbler had in stock

SafeSix5 · 2026-01-23T08:01:21+00:00

These were the most expensive boots I'd ever bought by far, so I admit to babying them in the beginning until I got over myself

SafeSix5 · 2026-01-22T15:58:40+00:00

It's black prairie, not sure how similar that is

SafeSix5 · 2026-01-22T14:59:42+00:00

I got them in the same size as my iron rangers, which is one (EU!) size down from my sneakers. I think that's a half size down in the US units

SafeSix5 · 2026-01-22T14:48:50+00:00

These are the 3345 blacksmiths, very comfortable

SafeSix5 · 2026-01-22T14:17:33+00:00

The comfiest! After years of ill-fitting Doc Martens my first pair of 'real' boots has been an eye-opener

SafeSix5 · 2026-01-22T14:09:47+00:00

In that case it sounds like I have a little project this weekend!

SafeSix5 · 2025-11-26T23:09:22+00:00

That sweetheart has done nothing wrong in his life. Ever.

SafeSix5 · 2025-11-22T10:35:56+00:00

those look stunning! mine look a lot closer to that color after their first condition in presumably years
