oh and for the reason i came here.. lol..

Has anyone ever heated up their leather boots to try and get boot oil into the pores of the leather?

i've heard this talked about and seen it on boot forums etc but i cant find any info on it?

Got these Cole Haan wingtips a while back still want AE's though :(

just use your fingers to rub it in? thats what the instructions on the obenaufs can says.

You can heat them up as well just don't put them in for too long.

When it's sunny and warmer out, you can apply the LP and let it sit in the sun for about 30 mins.

I applied some on my 875s a few weeks ago:

sun seems a safer bet than a heat gun, maybe ill wait

nice wear on those 875's!

looking for some nice red wings shoes, anyone know where I can get some good deals. pleaes dont' say ebay. I know good things don't usually go on sale so i might as well bite the bullet on a pair of nice shoes.

i looked around for quite a bit for pricing on my 877's, outside of used the cheapest was always the local RW dealer

however, if the online sites are accurate, RW USA has wayyyy more models in stock than Canadian stores

Try the Bay Downtown. Sometimes they have 15%-25% off if you have a the bay card. It's the only place I've seen them for cheaper.

picked up a pair in brown too for only $155 i shoulda waited on picking up the white pair too :/

for $120

woot for sales



still some stuff available over at mrporter.com for anyone interested but most of the stuff sold fast as they increased reductions to 80%

if those jimmy choos go lower i would get them.. the black suede high top

yeah those are pretty nice, a new addition to the sale, not sure if they'll reduce the price further as part of their winter sale because the sales reached the final phase; you may have to bookmark them so you can check to see if they've been reduced further

its ok if they dont, i have spent too much on shoes the past month

got them in the mail today!

as i get older, i don't nwat to settle for shitty soles.

i want the heel to be decent quality and the bottom to be wood, leather. i can't stand cheap ass Aldo plastic bottoms no more. again you get what you pay for.

How were the taxes/brokerage fees?

is that referring to mine? if it is..

0 :D

I'm with you on that. I used to get Aldo shoes and those soles ripped right off on me, every damn one. Ever since then, I went with Ferragamo and never turned back.

nononon, I ai'nt picking on you Calbeee, don't worry, nice gif hahhha

I've converted my gf to buy nice wood / leather bottom shoes or at lesat learn to appreciate it. a lot of shoes are plastic bottoms and it is what it is, but aldo type black heels are just shit and i refuse to buy them.

1.5 months into my 877's, about 4 oil applications over that time and fairly steady wear, best boots i've ever owned hands down, highly recommend red wings!

they are actually about 4-5 shades darker than they were to begin with now through wear/oiling, pretty sweet :D

Hi all looking double monkstraps, anywhere between 200- 300 dollars? Any recommendations

hahah alright, cause if you referred to my cp as aldo shoes i might of cried !

anyways i feel you on the wooden/leather bottoms. The shoes i made for work are like that and wow are they comfy and sturdy!

i used to wear aldo stuff but now i strive for a lot more quality

wow those are so beautiful!!

i think we need a dedicated leather thread... i just got my LGC natural leather belt and dont know where to post it

i love red wings, i'm going to check it out in the states. my gf and i both don't really like the white bottoms of the 877, i'm looking for the 8111, i am going to have to jump and see if i want to invest in it... it ain't cheap.

probably look weird with what I wear but whatever. kind of like basketball shoes I guess in the sense that sometimes they look pretty cool but you wouldnt actually wear them off court
