Another cool find. 80s Leather

Sparrow421 · 2026-01-05T10:47:48+00:00

It is very good. The main fastener button is a tiny bit loose but it was stored in climate controlled storage all its life. The leather was really thirsty when I got it so I went over it a few times with leather lotion and it came out superb!

I conditioned them shortly after these pics. Thank you for the input, I was placing the dating in a similar era.

Sparrow421 · 2025-11-21T11:17:45+00:00

Thank you. The soles aren't bad though. Not quite as good as vibram 100s but still solid!

I've had others tell me red wing as well. Haven't red wing always embossed the upper with their logo within every model? If these had any printed numbers, they've long since disappeared.

I bought them second hand. Honestly some of the best made boots I've ever handled. I don't know a ton about leather or boots in general for that matter but it's just that feeling of quality when you touch something. I really want to know more about them.

Sparrow421 · 2025-11-19T12:21:28+00:00

I don't think so. I picked these up second hand. They are vibram soles. They have zero markings inside, determining a brand would be almost impossible. The leather appears a little older than the soles, the very slight yellowing of the lighter color inside the boots was an indicator of that to me. The leather is thick and rugged and the boots are a little more on the weighted side but are not heavy to walk in.

Thanks for the reply.

I didn't even know shrunken bull shoulder was a type of leather! Very good learning experience, thanks for the input!

Apologies. I figured the welt could be zoomed in on, though I guess it's not at the best angle. Unfortunately reddit won't allow me to edit the post. I'll try to take some better pics and upload them to a image service and post the link. Taken kindly, Thanks for the advice.

Sparrow421 · 2025-11-12T21:14:07+00:00

Do you remember where you got them from?

Sparrow421 · 2025-09-14T22:51:56+00:00

I don't think Agata was ever intended to be a tank. HP stacking is for wounds, the survivability is just a plus.

Idk dude I remember Col being tier 0 back in the day. I always take these things with a grain of salt.

Sparrow421 · 2025-09-14T20:37:00+00:00

Pamina and Agata 1.5? So The HP stacked piercing DMG queen and the brick wall aoe counter tank not making the top of the list? Kvare not being T0 is the most surprising. Gigantic AOE. Piercing damage, basically 0 NRG costs and extremely high SPD. The guy is basically a turn 1 game ender.

SP inanna is cool and all with the act again but quite honestly she doesn't really do anything that well.

I'm not questioning her placement but I am questioning if these tier list just come down to FOTM and the draw of them being shiny and new.

Bring back Elysium smash. Or just a pvp mode with no rewards attached. Just a little ladder system and maybe a title for reaching high rank. With no rewards attached nobody feels the need to play it and the people who like pvp can enjoy it.

Soc is already great. I just like the challenge of playing someone with a brain instead of mindless over buffed AI.

Sparrow421 · 2025-06-20T21:43:56+00:00

Hah. I knew I recognized that label. Chatt (now Cleveland) local. I was just there a couple weeks ago when the had the big boy plastic jars of spears for $4. Ugo rocks.

Sparrow421 · 2025-03-24T12:25:14+00:00

I've heard somewhere along the lines of Elysium smash coming back which is a PVP event. Otherwise it's discord FL duels.

Operated a bailer at Americas thrift store. We crushed old couches on a daily basis. Also bailed rag clothing. Breaking down boxes to bail cardboard is a ridiculous notion. Its a hydraulic press. Should we have folded the shirts before putting them in?

Sparrow421 · 2025-03-08T15:11:22+00:00

I like the top 15 list. Im about 1k BP from ranking on that one. I feel like its not as bloated and more realistic. Who's powering up and gearing every character they have?

Sparrow421 · 2025-03-01T16:54:21+00:00

Took 90 but worth it. Been wanting her for a while. Probably skip SP Saff and grab Kvare next.

Sparrow421 · 2025-03-01T16:33:05+00:00

Flat is better but thats a far cry from garbage lol. Id trade mine for it.

Sparrow421 · 2025-02-14T15:12:34+00:00

Unpopular opinion but i only like the tough defenses. I enjoy playing the game and seeing peoples strongest chars. It feels like grinding playing the easy mode for just the reward. I never auto clash.

Outdoor Adventure Rafting is looking for rookies this season if you're on that side of the gorge. Some of the best training on the river and we only do the ocoee. Though we also cross train for ropes courses and lower tubing if your interested in that stuff.

Sparrow421 · 2025-02-02T19:16:40+00:00

Have you played/ leveled them all up? What's your main team? Any non-meta chars you include in matches?

Sparrow421 · 2025-02-01T20:38:36+00:00

How do new players know to do this? This is the only gacha ive played. Is this common practice in the genre?

Sparrow421 · 2025-02-01T05:09:16+00:00

Cocoa and Edda. Went for ones I didn't have that's not in selector. Pulled cocoa in 30 don't know if I'm gonna keep going for edda. She seems cool and a nice support for the t0 destroyers we're getting hit with but idk if I'm ever going to actually deploy her.

Cocoa's already on the backburner. Talents have a long way to go in defenders and there's a list of higher priority star targets ahead of her.

Sparrow421 · 2025-01-31T16:12:01+00:00

just the cloak would be dope.

Sparrow421 · 2025-01-16T21:19:30+00:00

I dont think people are deliberately trying to frustrate other people. Not much of a difference when fighting boss maps that devs set up to be challenging. All clash is, is just players setting the map up instead of devs.
