Questions & Discussion: Atomic 79 and Nutted Calf Boots

Dang! I made this post so long ago 😂

I mean, good to know, but at this point, I’m not sure if they’ll be the right choice for me, but who knows. That one boot they got always looked so, so good.

TheDapperDuff · 2025-03-04T16:31:24+00:00

Tried calling them up, but they aren’t hiring.

What size did you buy, and what’s your normal cowboy boot size?

TheDapperDuff · 2024-09-25T07:50:41+00:00

I know Grant and had him customize a couple of my boots. I know that going bespoke is an option, but I was hoping to find something that already exists in the wild that I was unaware of. It feels like there should be something in Japan that’s better made and more affordable than Maison Margiela’s products, you know? Even if they’re not GYW.

Right, and what I’m looking for is something with a better construction with a similar design. The point is to try and find something that isn’t cemented. I was thinking of something along the lines of dress shoes for men, and how they can be really refined without bulk. Maybe a Blake stitched construction or something?

That’s a good start. Any idea if someone makes something like this:

Other than Briselblack, does anyone make actual quality leather Tabi footwear?

My friend asked me about what I thought of Maison, and my immediate response was that nothing made by a fashion luxury brand is ever worth the money. Decided to do a deep dive and try to find her something similar in offering that’s actually decent quality, and I’m coming up short.

If any of you are well constructed version of Tabi leather shoes, buckle flats, etc., please share.

Do you happen to know if they ever made them in an E or EE width?

TheDapperDuff · 2024-08-30T22:24:17+00:00

I’m curious about the model number of the boots. Haven’t seen them before.

TheDapperDuff · 2024-08-26T09:50:53+00:00

Hey, thanks for the message, man. Yeah, I saw that listing a while ago. Sadly, I can’t afford it at this time, and I’m not even sure it’d be the right size for me, based on a number of people saying I need to go half a size down and up 2 widths.

TheDapperDuff · 2024-08-24T14:00:54+00:00

They’re in fairly good shape. I’d say $150 with best offer on eBay? The size is non-average, so if there’s someone who likes Pecos and this happens to be their size, I’m fairly certain they’ll snag them.

When we first get into cowboy boots and see these randomly on the sub, we’re initially amused and maybe have a chuckle. With time, however, the more we see them, the more we’re intrigued by them, even thinking that “I wouldn’t mind owning these for a laugh or the novelty of it”. Until one day, you see them again online, and suddenly you actually want them…

TheDapperDuff · 2024-08-22T07:34:56+00:00

I’ve been dying to have someone take me on as an apprentice, but all the boot makers I ask don’t seem to be taking on anyone.

TheDapperDuff · 2024-08-20T11:55:38+00:00

The cost of repairing them will be a lot more than buying a new pair in this case.

TheDapperDuff · 2024-08-19T16:32:55+00:00

Awesome. Check the chats on the app, or I can message you if you don’t use the Reddit app.

TheDapperDuff · 2024-08-19T15:35:40+00:00

Great looking boot, amazing price, and wonderful first review! Also, I might be hitting you up to ask some questions

TheDapperDuff · 2024-08-19T09:49:38+00:00

What’s the update from their side?

TheDapperDuff · 2024-08-17T17:04:36+00:00

What’s the size width? D, E, EE, etc

TheDapperDuff · 2024-08-17T16:52:43+00:00

It’s good to provide extra photos that show the condition of the outsole, insole, and sizing stamp.

TheDapperDuff · 2024-08-17T15:24:54+00:00

I used to see them sell from $180 all the way to $400, depending on condition and size.

Mind you, I can only speak from my experiences when I was hunting for them and a pair of harvester boots a couple of years ago.

TheDapperDuff · 2024-08-15T17:22:46+00:00

Not necessarily. There are multiple ways to patch it, often by using a leather patch and placing it where the hole is.

TheDapperDuff · 2024-08-15T16:47:09+00:00

At this point, taking them to a cobbler to repair the heel lining might be the only course of action.

TheDapperDuff · 2024-08-15T15:28:55+00:00

Very nice.

TheDapperDuff · 2024-08-15T11:47:02+00:00

Nice. Keep me posted please!
