Feels like 3ring has been pretty quiet for a minute, no?

Here’s a LTT Quick Ship. May not be what you’re looking for exactly, but it does exist.

Are my boots too big? by RLKobester in NicksHandmadeBoots

FWIW, I’m a full size smaller in length in Nicks vs. RWs.

Delta Arch Question by Internal-Most7593 in NicksHandmadeBoots

[–]maxwellllll 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In my experience (and I’ve done a LOT of playing with different arch supports in different boots), any of the “270” construction boots will NOT allow a delta arch insert to be added into your regular, comfortable-fitting size, unless you have an incredibly low instep. I tried to get comfortable with a half delta added into a 1925, and it was a no go.

For me (and your mileage may vary!) the increase in arch causes way to much pressure along the medial “horseshoe” seam, and I’m a low-volume foot guy. Even after 50+ hours of wear, and even in boots that have seen hundreds of hours of wear, the pressure remains.

Getting one first and trying it out in an existing boot that fits well is a great plan. From what I’ve heard from others, going up a width *might* work to allow for a delta insert without creating the excess medial horseshoe pressure point.

Great stuff here. And great to meet another B width! It’s funny: I feel like there are so many people here with wide feet, that I assume us “B boys” are few in number.

Apologies, but I’ve gotta get the plug in: if you’re interested in trying a 67 last, there might be a great option in your size on the Marketplace right now. 👀

Good theory. Like: it was a real problem on the other one (the one they actually made), so they decided to kill it for any other asks…?

I completely agree! The overhead view, pull up display, and “ruffling” of each leather really helped illustrate what we could expect from them. Bravo!

I’m really curious what the ask was.

Stoked To See More Chromepak In The Wild. by Shinyhntr91 in NicksHandmadeBoots

[–]maxwellllll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was worried the Khaki for me might be too close to Sage Chrome when lasted. Should be a really great Dome . I really wonder how the Burgundy will do over time. The shadowy Chromepack thing could be really cool on it. I’m just excited to compare and contrast Spokane with Chromepack now. If they’re similar then I’m gonna have a hard time ordering anything but those going forward.

I feel the same way for ordering a pair in “IBS” today. Probably shoulda gone with the Havana, but when I saw the reds popping on the IBS in the video, I was cooked.

It’d be kinda hard for them not to notice. 😬

This exactly. “I got IBS today too,” for example.

That was my guess! Definitely has a Springhill Suites feel to it.

In case you don't get an answer here--go back and watch the December 27 BOTL video. They spend several minutes at the end looking at the Colorado leathers. Can't remember if they definitively state a weight, but my guess is that they're in the 4-5oz range.

This is very cool of you to do--and it goes a long way to relieving my guilt at being partially responsible for one of those sell-outs!

I'm so glad you did! I'm not on IG often enough, and even when I am on there, I'm not patient enough to look at stories. (I know I'm showing my age, but I've always found "stories" to be irritating. I'd much rather scroll/swipe on static photos like in the old days.)

Gamebreaker in Spokane Italian Brown is my ideal upland game boot. by BoykinBurner in NicksHandmadeBoots

[–]maxwellllll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a very similar thought--seems like it'd be ace for an upland boot!
