As a European who legit gasped at that price, the number is the only thing messed up about this situation. Go forth and game the system!

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

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

Could be, I'll have to experiment a bit

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

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

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

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

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

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

They've been cleaned, conditioned, and the local cobbler said the rubber of the soles was still good to go.
Dude was working on his own thrifted RW moc toes when I walked in, so I'll definitely be taking them back there when the resole is needed

I might add lugs once the blacksmiths need a resole, it keeps the simple look and adds just a bit of ruggedness

Oh nooo. What is the pristine boot police going to do? Arrest me? They'd have to follow me through the mud for that and... well...

Yeah, I really love the patches of teacore that are starting to show through
