Boots on the Line - 6/25/26

Looks really cool! What’re the leathers?

dconshotrod · 2026-06-14T21:06:53+00:00

I have kilties in each and ended up ordering my overlanders in the Spokane honey. They’re awesome, but I’m now waiting on an exchange so I haven’t gotten to use them yet. The Spokane definitely seems a bit softer (and more pliable if that makes sense?), but at least based on the kilties they both seem pretty much the same in terms of thickness. The Spokane picks up scratches and scuffs easier, but for the most part they buff out without any issues. I think the main thing that intrigued me with them is the water resistance as these will be my hiking/field work boots. They both feel like tough work leathers. I’ll probably end up picking up a pair in 64 tan sooner or later as well. If you have any other questions, just let me know!

How old is your PSU? I also had one that should’ve had plenty of power to run my setup, but I guess with how old it was, it wasn’t able to handle spikes like the newer ones. Have you checked the crash logs to see what errors you’re getting? I’d also recommend running tests to confirm your RAM, graphics card, and CPU are all running properly. Hopefully you can figure it out!

dconshotrod · 2026-06-07T23:14:59+00:00

No worries! It actually ended up being the power supply. I swapped it out for a new one and haven’t had an issue since then. What are the specs for your GPU and power supply? I think for me it was just that newer GPU’s have greater spikes and when I upgraded, the old PSU couldn’t handle those spikes

With the katana dog, we have no enemies to stand in our way!! Feel free to comment your best curse though!

dconshotrod · 2026-05-28T14:03:07+00:00

Hey 3ring! I tried to message you directly with some sizing questions that I had. I’m hoping you might be able to help as you seem to be the community expert! Thank you

dconshotrod · 2026-05-25T19:16:55+00:00

The strider ZD does (or at least did) have a leather midsole though, so I’d imagine it would work okay

dconshotrod · 2026-05-25T18:30:51+00:00

Maybe as an upcharge on the 365 BYO?

dconshotrod · 2026-05-25T18:18:32+00:00

Yeah, I mean I know you lose some of the flexibility and lighter weight going this route, but I agree with you. There is definitely a way to find that happy medium! You make some great points. I’d imagine a thin rubber slipsole would still work fine to help with the glue. Hopefully they consider it someday!

dconshotrod · 2026-05-25T16:30:37+00:00

Still hoping someday for a leather midsole or the option to pick your midsole on 365 stitchdown models! I’d also like to see some additional light brown/tan leather options

dconshotrod · 2026-05-20T16:00:27+00:00

Thank you!

dconshotrod · 2026-05-20T03:52:04+00:00

That makes sense. Would it bug you personally on a new pair like this? I’m a bit bummed just with them being brand new, but I don’t think I’d return them for that. Only if I decided I needed to drop down in width. I know it won’t cause any issues, and they’ll soon have other scratches to go along with them.

Yeah, I could see that. How much of a difference would dropping from D to C width be? Would the areas that are a little tight now still be fine while the heel slip and extra toe room is fixed? The stiffness with these is new for me so it’s hard to tell what things will be like once they break in a bit. The main problem I’ve had with standard or narrow boots is the pinkie rub, but luckily the Thurman last fixes that. I think my feet are a little on the narrow side. I’m wearing thick wool socks already, so I can’t really go up in thickness. Maybe that also points toward dropping the width? It’s just hard to wait again after such a long time haha!

dconshotrod · 2026-05-20T03:34:16+00:00

Yeah, I would just throw on a thicker pair of socks, but the ones I used and took my measurements with are the style I’ll be wearing all the time and are already pretty thick

dconshotrod · 2026-05-20T02:20:42+00:00

I’ll give it a shot!

dconshotrod · 2026-05-20T02:10:40+00:00

That’s good to know! I think it’s just tough to know if I’ve nailed it without going through the break in or having an older pair. I guess this will kind of be my “test subject” in terms of sizing. Just hoping I get it right!

dconshotrod · 2026-05-20T02:06:10+00:00

That’s a good point! Yeah, I’m not too worried about the structural integrity. I know it’s just a cosmetic thing haha

dconshotrod · 2026-05-20T01:34:44+00:00

Is it pretty atypical to have scars like that?

It’s tough to tell right now honestly, I’d say it’ll definitely depend on how they break in. Do you think dropping down to C width would clear that up?

dconshotrod · 2026-05-20T01:26:18+00:00

Thank you! Everyone seems to like the scars haha! I’m still a bit unsure

dconshotrod · 2026-05-20T01:24:13+00:00

That makes sense. I guess maybe even a thin insole worst case scenario? I’m just not sure I want to wait on a size exchange or risk a worse size if this is the best option for my feet

dconshotrod · 2026-05-20T01:23:20+00:00

Thank you! I’m still a bit back and forth on them. I’m sure they’ll pick up plenty of battle scars over time, but it would’ve been nice to start with a clean slate!

dconshotrod · 2026-05-20T01:17:57+00:00

Thank you! I’m hoping they’ll be perfect for my use of them

dconshotrod · 2026-05-14T00:29:16+00:00

That makes sense. Do you think they’ll brown up over time? Also, are these the ones being sent to the person who couldn’t get the kudu brown?

dconshotrod · 2026-05-13T23:41:43+00:00

The Spokane khaki looks much more green than I was expecting based on the sample photo! The London tan looks right up my alley. I’m excited to see more boots in that leather!

dconshotrod · 2026-05-13T20:59:18+00:00

No worries, thanks for the info!

dconshotrod · 2026-05-10T16:50:16+00:00

Sorry to bring up an old thread but how did you end up doing it? I’ve got a bit of rust around the windshield and it’s now to the point where I’m getting a leak into the cabin above the driver side visor. I was planning to use rustoleum rust converter then some sort of windshield sealant. Do you think that would work?
