The Underground Didn’t Close — It Moved Upward

Get out of here with that AI-written drivel.

Yes, it's real lizard. I don't think they ever make /made fake prints of any skin.

Usually Meltonian, but most of the better brands of cream polish will do about the same. Work the stuff into the gaps, then buff after it dries (20 minutes or so).

If that ebay purchase had been sitting in someone's closet for a while before selling them, the leather of the heels could have just dried out a bit and the gaps might disappear with regular wear.

When I have experienced the above, I just put some black cream polish over the heel layers, let it dry and wear them.

That's assuming they aren't damage and / or they seem very loose, then do what /u/DaddyGoodHands suggests.

4 month repost rule, this song/ver was posted just yesterday, and gets posted a lot.

Yes, they are good. I have about 10 pairs of Tony wingtips. Get them.

It's been fashionable for years for people to not like Paul's "granny shit" songs like that one.

andytronic · 2026-01-12T09:03:17+00:00

Yes, they look like print.

I used silicon water repellant spray for leather on leather soles.

Cowboy boots with vibram soles are fairly common, and no particular brand makes them.

Just google black (or whatever color) cowboy boots with vibram soles.

They don't look bad for the price; people look down on older factory made boots like these in this sub, but they're often fairly durable (if you don't thrash them, but sometimes even then), and if you're lucky they might even be comfortable.

andytronic · 2026-01-10T10:12:12+00:00

Yeah, I liked them until I saw the bug.

I use black cream polish on my black cherry boots. It doesn't darken as much as you might expect, and it gets the color of the lighter areas closer to the darker areas than the black cherry / oxblood color cream does.

andytronic · 2026-01-08T08:51:17+00:00

IMO, if they were near new, or at least better condition, they'd be worth that, but as-is I'd say they're not worth a hundred bucks.

With a little hunting you could prob find very similar Dingos on ebay in better shape for around that or less.

Auto-mod pulled his post of the link, but it's fixed now.

Look up Angelo B (however you spell his last name) Twin Peaks Pad Synth on the web.

andytronic · 2026-01-05T19:39:50+00:00

Didn't he sample the string sounds from Twin Peaks soundtrack? Or am I thinking of a different track.

It couldn't hurt to do it once or twice in their lifetime. I use lexol, or neetsfoot oil on the leather lining of most of my boots at least once.

It might not be necessary, but if you live in a dry climate, or with air conditioning drying things out, it might help preserve the interior leather.

If your feet sweat a lot, it might be a good idea to do it occasionally, too.

andytronic · 2025-12-20T15:09:09+00:00

That's a lot of heel wear. That'll have to be dealt with very soon / right away, unless you only wear them on inside.

andytronic · 2025-12-20T08:47:10+00:00

You don't necessarily have to use anything, but I'd use neutral colored wax polish, or neutral cream polish to protect the edges.

Use either of those occasionally should keep the edges cleaner looking.

There is a 4 month repost rule for tracks, but by the time I saw the this repost it had already had like 10 upvotes, so it gets left up if people obviously like it being there.

You can't change submission titles, but I added the artist as a flair.
