The Leather Thread

[mikeeeey]

actually the reason why i asking the period coz u really did a gd deal to darken the sole lor


do u know if they have the laces in round de instead of flat?
The default lace really too think liaoz, i doubt can tahan long lor keke

GRRRR!!! I thought you complimenting on the leather. LOL

actually yeah, the sole you see here was about the same color on my first week of wear already. mainly due to the car mat and the right sole (heel area) is much darker than the left due to switching between accelerator and brake consistently..

 

[mikeeeey]

nice mikeey. Will post up pictures of my DBs too over the weekend.

The best part i like is the tongue of the shoe where it moulds to the shape of the top of our feets.

thanks..

i didnt observe alot on the tongue portion. i usually do not care about its placement as long as its comfortable on the feet

ah, car mat...
its definitely a killer. it dirtied my RW 8165 and 875 too...

no lah, your DB nice too lor. But still fresh mah, i think still room for more creases right
btw, do u get very obvious creases ard the toe areas? the part where it will bend when u squat down

yeah... looking forward for it to crease more..

the portion that you mentioned; i only get a deep trench-like crease. as in 1 big longkang like that. the finer crease only on the back of the boot. can roughly see from the pic about the big longkang and finer crease

DB beeswax fan club forming.

I'm quite worried about the sole though. Every few wears and i realise the back of the heel part is starting to peel off. Like when you rub an eraser and the ends fall off.

But then you can look forward to resoling it. Hope the leather lasts forever.

any good cobblers to recommend for recrafting of dress shoes with leather soles? Btw, can I apply mink oil on dress shoes?

haha i know what you meant, the black thingy you can pull for quite long before it breaks off.

im actually thinking of resoling it already. recently went to a machine workshop and as usual their floors are all grease and oil. when i went to the lift lobby and the floor was wet due to the heavy rain. i almost did a split there.

but the cost of resoling this like what, half the cost of the shoes? sigh..

Wow! Didn't know there are leather crafters here locally?! Anyone here do wet-formed leather stuff? Looking at having a bag made in the form of a ammo pouch, and a small sheath/pouch for knife and some tools!

Just bought the leather shoe lace from 310 woodland today. Notice that for some parts, there's thread/hair sticking out. Is it okay if i burned it away? What else can i do to smoothen the edge?

Maybe burnish it with the length of a metal rod to smooth it out?
