NEW BOOTS ....

[MasterBlaster]

So get them stitched! It looks like you get your foot wedged in tight places, then you've gotta yank em out. NOT good for any boot.

You don't even need to get them stitched. Any self respecting cobbler can put a new sole on those boots with glue. The stitching is mainly for looks as the threads rapidly wear because of the tread pattern on the soles.

You may have gotten a pair of boots that had not been glued properly.

!9 months. I think that has more to do with it than quality control. There is a lot of hard wear on that sole. Also the type of leather preservative one uses has a direct affect on stitching and leather. Funny my Whites never did that

I got a pair of whites too. I don't care for them, I like my boots to have a lining of some sort. Not as comfortable in my opinion.

I don't have a clue how many miles these boots have on them (alot) but the soles are not falling off them. I did have to screw the heel back on them but thats an easy fix that I have had to do to a few pairs now. Its just nailed/glued on.

 

[JIML]

and these 2 pairs are ready to go! One rebuilt the other new.

Are you by any chance related to Imelda Marcos?

 

[MasterBlaster]

What, from having two pairs of boots? Ha, hardly.

I'm gonna keep quiet on this one...

 

[JIML]

Who me... Nother pair of wescos and whites..

 

[Dave Shepard]

I just priced out a pair of Wescos on their site, $603. That doesn't include any of the custom costs, and I don't even know if I would have gotten what I wanted. Also, WTF is a tricounie for?

 

[JIML]

Used on corked boots for extra grip and tearing the edge of the sole off when they come off.

 

[Jonseredbred]

You have to be constantly breaking in boots.

 

[JIML]

the wescos are all custom fit so breakin is a breeze really.. I get a new pair and wear them as "going out" boots before I wear them to work.. breaks them in the easy way.

Thats insane. Aint no boot worth 600 bucks!

Maybe if the boots came with a hot naked chick wearing them.

 

[Dave Shepard]

I don't think I want to see a "hot naked chick" that wears 12EEEEEEEEE boots.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

[wiley_p]
