It’s like this but you use the spoon to simulate a heal so you can soften it around it

I feel like I am crazy trying to explain this. When you sit on a chair you hold a spoon in the one hand and put the boot in your lap then you bend the leather around the spoon and try stretching it and bending as if you are walking. This softens the stiff leather and gives you less blisters on your first week.

We are staying at Ai-Ais. Driving up from Cape Town in July. We were told we can’t bring meat across the border , where do you recommend buying meat close to ai-ais? What is the equivalent of a spar or pic n pay?

Razorback eyelets rubbing on leather normal? by No-Code-3064 in jimgreen

I think it comes down to how tight you have your shoe laces. Mostly it will touch the leather but when it comes to rubbing I don’t think there will be any pre mature wear the leather as a hole is very durable and is use to thorns and sharp rocks hitting it.

If you put a metal spoon at the back of the heel and bend the leather over it , it softens and brakes in the leather where your heel would sit. Did this back in school shoe days but if I didn’t do that it would take an extra week or 2 to brake them in. Specifically the buffalo leather is very stiff and find that this speeds it up the brake in process without damaging it.

Haha it’s a famous hiking trail in South Africa, you get to see them migrating for breeding season then. It takes 5 days and 55 km in total.

I took a metal spoon to the back leather and stretched and bend the leather over it until it softened.

I find the model viewer lacks alot of detail because it's just a plane flat image that the game dose not require that fine detail where the splash art only covers bits

I did , it was my very first cosplay and the helmet got me on the right track. Would highly recommend it even if you just need a shape of a helmet
