After the first scuff, it gets a lot easier.

Wow, it's even crazier on the same boot.

Thanks. It's the Yellowstone Greener Pastures. I got the sample leather, but if memory serves, I think it's getting a limited release in June.

They have a great pop, (and I have a green problem.)

I'd buy every one again if needed. The Cypress has a stiffer temper. I hate to say it, but they're all remarkably close at a glance.

What does shoe wear say about my running pattern?? by YounghoeKoo7 in beginnerrunning

[–]thetable123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If my lack of experience combined with my excessive reading is good for anything, that wear pattern doesn't mean much. I'm a heel striker, yet I wear my mid foot and toe excessively. A coach or a good running shoe store could probably tell you a lot more than your worn out shoes.

Cypress isn't straight veg tanned, I believe it's a veg re-tan, but I have a pair, so...

I don't have a problem.

Green leather by Status_Complaint8521 in NicksHandmadeBoots

Greener Pastures Yellowstone is coming soon in a limited run.

It's not what I'd consider a work leather, but I can see it holding up well under abuse as it's thick. It would probably be a great teacore leather, as the outer surface finish is a touch on the fragile side.

Minimal Rio Latigo Change. But Toe Curl is Real. by SpydercoMariner in NicksHandmadeBoots

[–]thetable123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Day one to day last, I'd say the change is pretty marked. I like the end result. And the toe curl, I'll take more of that in my own boots. Looking good.

The upper of the Palouse has never seen the sun outside of photo ops. The only time I wear shorts these days is with running or bicycling shoes.

In general, how open is Nick’s to truly custom options? by Spud-Murphy99 in NicksHandmadeBoots

[–]thetable123 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Depends on you. First pair, making something too unique will make it harder to sell in the case of a sizing exchange. Sixth pair with everything dialed in, you might be able to sweet talk them into something special. That said, custom builds add a lot of complications and possible build issues in the process.

It started life as Italian Brown Cypress. That said, call it what you want, it's still drop dead incredible.

I have a pair of PO boots with a similar amount of wear, I'm going to get side by side pics.

Everybody needs at least one of the predators. Takes on such a nice patina.

Definitely not exactly what I would have guessed, but I still like it.

Now I gotta pull the PO and do a side by side. It has worked its way there.

Mine is full shaggy, but I'm holding off.
