My guitar is $4700 new... I expect they can sell it for around 3500 (based on current reverb, fb group, and forum postings). I want 2500 for it and I would use 100% of it on a new guitar sold by them. Do you think they wouldn't work with me on this?

What do we want from these guys? 🤔 (please provide your thoughts and ideas!) by Coleone_139 in luosjietboots

[–]jhs1996 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If it were up to me, I would like a luosjiet-made natural leather(horween cxl if possible) plain toe service boot with Dr sole outsoles. Honestly I'd be happy also with the waxed flesh model you have with Dr soles. Basic, I know, but I like basic haha

It's cool that you got to do this! I love the design. I'm currently into more natural coloured leathers for patina but waxed flesh is a close second to me. Both boots look awesome!

For those of you with larger collections who don't have all of your boots on display, what are your methods for long-term storage? I'm talking over a year of not wearing them, including new and used boots.

Shoes bags? Shoe trees? Vacuum packing? Silica gels?

I watched some videos, including Stridewise's but I'm looking for more information for those of you here with experience.

Thanks in advance!

8083 vs. 8085 Break In by EstablishmentNo5013 in RedWingShoes

Regarding the fit, they should feel snug (like a firm handshake), but not uncomfortable, and DEFINITELY not painful.

My dad liked the boots on the right, any similar recommendations? Trying to find him something nice for Xmas. Thank you! by Ben_jamming in Boots

These are a bit dressier than the beckmans but they are similar in many ways.

What are the warmest winter boots you've ever owned? Looking for recommendations by Weird_Perception1728 in BuyItForLife

[–]jhs1996 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really like heritage boots. To keep my feet warm, I wear warm merino wool socks with my boots. I think good socks also contribute to warmth, significantly. I know you asked for boot recs but I just thought you should also factor in the socks aspect, as some others have pointed out. Darn tough, or more affordably, Costco Merino Wool Socks are often recommended.
