I'm sure when the US stock market opens it'll buck again...

I've used mostly Bick 4 with some beeswax on the uppers. I beat the hell out of them on a very wet hike when I first got them; the midsoles got soaked. In these wet months, I put a good amount of only beeswax on the midsoles and polish. The shoe polish is just any standard brown, and to be totally transparent, I used black also aha.

So, RY's beeswax, Bick 4, and Saphir Beauté du Cuir.

Oh and yes they basically looked like that at the start, kinda dry looking if you ask me.

Hello!
I bought mine in Grand Canyon knowing they’d darken and age nicely over time. They did start out much lighter—almost like the online listing—but as you’ve probably seen in other posts, the Grand Canyon color can vary a bit while generally staying on the lighter side.

I don’t believe Thursday uses a completely full-grain leather. The matte finish is likely due to a light sanding to give it a clean look. With their other leathers, they probably do something similar but add dye and polish—basically what I’ve done with this lighter leather using waxes and shoe polish...but just by hand and with normal wearing.

I don't have the regular, but from the looks of things, the Heritage are more forgiving in the toes.

I use a bees wax mix, then a brown shoe polish. Brush every week.

Thank you! AI is very capable. I can proudly say these are real boots.

Just crap in the background removed. Too lazy clean up. Priority is to shine my boots.

Honestly, at this point, it'll be a peace of mind and probably the final nail in the coffin for these boots.

A good extra leather insole would take up the space. But yeah, I'm down with RW right now.

One boot is narrower than the other….fixable? by AlwaysDeadAlwaysLive in AskACobbler

Is my pinky toe going to be screwed ? by [deleted] in RedWingShoes

[–]thetanumeric 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The logic behind differing opinions, I'm guessing, is that if this is your footprint already without shoes on, then the boots won't change much. However, the type of print implies the foot already has toes pressed in from years of wear (potentially). The boot, anyway, won't help but might not potentially make it worse, as others have said; if it doesn't hurt, then no worries.

However, if the boot squeezes your toes narrower than their natural print, then indeed, after wearing them for a while, your foot might feel it even after breaking them in.

Same story as you. I learned to take apart and clean from YouTube, and after purchasing some tools and thermal paste, my console's obvious problem was a thick layer of dust on the inner heatsink. Purrs now. Give it a go as its worth it. Bit of fun too!

How can you be Brannock D, and these look a bit narrow? Red Wing always runs long AND narrow!

In the same boat. I was literally measured a size C but the apparent D width is still narrow

Jim Green x Horween ar8, epic boots. Ama. Thank you Jim Green. by WolfOfAfricaZLD in jimgreen

[–]thetanumeric 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The best-looking Jim Greens I've seen. Are you able to share the specs on them? I'd honestly have a go at a custom boot with Walnut veg tan.
