Love those, man!

@Mizmazzle love these boots! I have a pair of roughnecks and they get the most wear of all my boots. I live in a rural area and the tread makes the most sense (very limited pavement). Glad to see you enjoy them as well.

no! why?

[Aetas]

@endo
A new sole is needed, but deep cracks in the leather seem to be unrepairable.

bummer!

[Mizmazzle]

@Aetas what an incredible boot!! I’ve never seen this one before. Surely it can be saved somehow!!

Picked these up few days ago when they were released in Japan. Yes, the break-in has given me blisters.

@Denman-John they look great

Took the plunge with a pair of 877s. Very long legs so works for me when I sit down and the 888s ride up
HOWEVER - one thing I failed to consider when purchasing was how much of a pain it would be to have to lace literally half the boot every time you want to take it on/off.
Sent them straight to a cobbler to get the top 6 holes turned into speed hooks. Also got them to do a cheeky stretch to the toe box whilst they were there (felt a bit narrower than my IRs, I think there is an extra lining of leather that goes all the way round internally?)
Anyhoo - this was the best decision ever made. I can whip them on/off in a heartbeat now, and they still feel super secure. If you’re on the fence about this mod I would highly recommend!
(Double cuffed 888s so you can see what’s going on)
Peace to all ️

Beautiful boots right there @Karol
I normally hate Kilties but damn I like these. First time I’m saying this.

On my way to Freiburg in my trusty 9060. Successfully broken in. Now waiting for some tea core to pop through

I'm with you on kilties, but I like how lowkey these are.
And yours are looking awesome, I'd love these as my black pair.

@Denimhead-0 These would also be good option if I get a black pair. i love my CRT blacksmiths

I hate having speedhooks though, i'd love to get those swapped to eyelets
