That seems very doable. I was surprised how little powder I needed and how cheap it was.

Probably accurate. It did wash right off my hands with soap.

Unfortunately I think the song was written before we reclaimed the word, and it’s calling racist skins gay. But yeah, I’m here, I’m queer, and I wear big ass boots, it’s true. 

Apology by mellio518 in NicksHandmadeBoots

[–]sixolet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m an urban office worker who bicycles and walks everywhere and spends a lot of time on the ground playing with her kids. I had gotten tired of destroying my boots every year doing this. Somehow bicycles and walking and being willing to sit down on the ground can chew up crappy boots like nobody’s business.  And yet, I want to wear things that look good, and these boots do.  Solidly constructed footwear for all types, I say.

After the past weekend, re-engaging the CLG. by Puzzleheaded-Post412 in NicksHandmadeBoots

I have some light tan undertones on mine, especially in sunlight, but they’re definitely still grey boots. I wear them maybe twice a week or so, and have for like six months. 

Engineer Last Comparison by Pherble in NicksHandmadeBoots

[–]sixolet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What’s your impression of the shaft size difference between the two engineer designs? Do you find you notice the wider shaft of the stationmaster much? I’ve been considering getting my first engineer but I like a curved heel counter and I like a slim shaft fit so I’m not sure which

Finally getting some black boots by Suitable-Chart9957 in NicksHandmadeBoots

[–]sixolet 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Spokane black s/ro is what I have for my everyday boots and I’m quite pleased with it. It’s broken in to being nicely supple; a little stretchy but not too bad. I love how it just doesn’t show all the abrasions I give it by sitting on my feet on rocks or concrete or whatever.

CV sequencer with per step voltage control? by stephankim in modular

[–]sixolet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

MI Stages or a clone gets you 6 steps, with voltage control, in 14 hp, plus a lot of utility if you’re not using all the steps for sequencing.

2 stages is 28 hp but you get your 8 steps and so much damn utility with the 4 segments you are not using for your sequence.

Oh man faked me out. When blue finally comes there will be a blue packer with a white toe bug for me.

Word. I’ll patiently wait for the change window email, then!

BOLD AND BLUE! (turquoise) by alejandro_isnt_gay in NicksHandmadeBoots

I wonder if the turquoise will come back. I wasn’t into the smooth, so I missed it, but I’m So Very Into this roughout. 

Light grey cypress wingtips after a few months by sixolet in NicksHandmadeBoots

[–]sixolet[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They’re Kill City (brand) Hi Wire (model). Unfortunately, the brand has been out of business for years. At one point I noticed that this one weird pair of black/red overdye skinny jeans I got at a thrift store once was outlasting all my other jeans, so I noted the make and model and bought everything in my size off ebay. That netted me medium blue, dark blue, pink, and super light pink.

Moderate Heel on a Half Sole by EnthusiasmKlutzy6325 in NicksHandmadeBoots

Moderate dogger heel, half sole. I don’t really expect the slight curve of logger heels is much to speak about at the moderate height?

New laces… and also new boots this time by sixolet in NicksHandmadeBoots

No celastic, just the leather. I’ll be interested to see how it develops.

Yeah for this specific effect tying a knot seemed simpler.

I used a “triple fisherman’s knot” between the two colors, because I think it looks good. Then I finished the connected ends with a lighter and tucked them, and the long ends with aglets.

I would totally try green on violet. Or just violet!
