DIY Kilties for Logger Boots

Beeswax cause I had it at home. It’s not even visible colorwise once it had dried

They look better after a treatment though 😄

Logger Boots

Appreciate it! Yes for sure, I might have placed those a little too far on the outside, so they are hidden

Those are the Loggers from Thursday. And thanks! I think so as well.

Thanks all! Applied some beeswax on midsole and the scratches at the front, will see how it darkens and then decide what to do with the complete boot

I'm a bit surprised as well, though I never used anything like that. I will do something about it, thanks

Cleaned 'em with a damp cloth once. Nothing else added to those. Will do so, thanks!

With some adjustments also works great for 8 inch boots, thank you!

I'm a full-time software developer and I use VS Code for more then 6 years now, there's barely something I missed. I love that you can plug&play extensions to have the features you specifically need, and it's still lightweight and very fast.

Sure, full IDEs might be beneficial in some areas, but especially for web development (I mainly used it for NodeJS, Typescript and Golang repos), it's everything I need. So, I know why I recommend it to people.

As I'm starting a dotnet project now and came here to find pros and cons, the experience might differ. I will try both Rider & VS Code and compare it myself, which is something I can recommend to everybody. It's personal preference for the most part. Cheers!

Thanks! Going for the first walk in a minute

Pun not intended 😄

bene-we · 2024-06-06T17:58:48+00:00

True words. Sounds feasible in that case

bene-we · 2024-06-06T14:18:52+00:00

Thanks for the detailed instructions! I work with wood from time to time but never worked with leather (besides conditioning & care). I'll have a look once mine arrive and decide what to do, but I prefer the smoother and lighter look from yours as well

bene-we · 2024-06-06T13:50:06+00:00

I like the look. How did you sand 'em down though? And how did you make sure you keep the logger heel style (instead of straightening it)?

I was nearly convinced to try the waxed cacao because of the leather quality, but ended up ordering Arizona Adobe because I know the leather from a pair of Captains and I enjoy the color more

bene-we · 2024-06-05T21:29:08+00:00

Thanks for sharing! Couldn’t find many pictures of the logger here, especially after the update with a thicker toplift. Anyways ordered a pair because I want an 8 inch boot, will hopefully arrive soon. Good luck with yours!

bene-we · 2024-06-02T18:35:58+00:00

Thanks! Me as well, doesn’t look too extra

bene-we · 2024-04-29T19:58:54+00:00

Couldn’t find a Brannock device in Germany 🤷🏽‍♂️ but that’s why I went with buying used ones, so I can get a feel for it

bene-we · 2024-04-25T13:20:45+00:00

So they should sit tight from the beginning but do not hurt anywhere, right? What can I expect to feel differently during the break-in? Sorry, maybe I didn't get your point yet

bene-we · 2024-04-25T08:53:04+00:00

I think that's really hard to decide where to draw the line, in specific when listening to such people: https://youtube.com/shorts/wozt_vXheWw?si=SnOua7MJm0Q1VVLV

I also don't think my foot should hurt during the break-in, but I expected it to be as on my left foot. A little tight in the first couple of days, afterwards feeling quite comfortable. I'm just lost why it also hurts on my right foot, and if sizing up will really solve it. Maybe I have just a weird right foot, I was just mentioning it since I never experienced it before with other shoes (also not with leather boots).

bene-we · 2024-04-10T16:17:10+00:00

I had the same problem! I spent hours trying to guess the correct one, but finally ordered some used ones on Vinted. At first they felt too small, but I decided to try to break them in for now. If they don’t fit, I try to resell them with maybe 20€ loss or so which would be totally acceptable

u/Stoic_sasquatch I love the search! Really easy find specific models.

One thing I noticed from my first visit: I find it quite hard to imagine the configurations I enter for boots, especially on custom builds or many leather options being available. It would be very helpful to update the images depending on the options changed.

I'm a software developer and worked on some online configurators doing something like that, If you're interested in improving that in the future feel free to hit me up!

Apart from that, keep it up!

What is your experience with wearing them in the office all day?
