    What kind of boot modification did you ask for? I like those

    • @ThomasSteed
      @ThomasSteed  28 днів тому +1

      These are a 10" Wilshire in Wicket and Craig Olive Harness. Brown stitching. Antiqued brass hardware.#2 toe. Dogger heel. Medallion brogue toe cap. Outside knife pockets on both boots. Natural finish on the heel. Vibram mini lug soul. I've got Western kilties in them, but the dress kilties look good in them too if you don't want the western whiskers. They probably have the whole build specifications on file I'd assume, but if not, this should cover it all I believe.

    Yeah, the more you're willing to spend... I'm still on the fence between a couple companies, but I guess they do custom stuff that's not on the menu, so they should make that more clear on the website or something.

    • @ThomasSteed

      They're a small business, and the website is a bit more limited than just ordering by phone, or just going in. They're great to work with.

      @@ThomasSteed Yeah, I saw a couple vids by this other guy where he had customized to the 9s, but then it was already over $800 or closer to $900, even. And I forget what he said his wait time was, but since I seem to get few answers when I post comments on some companies' vids, I guess I will just have to start calling them all to get better info about certain models.

      How far are you from Spokane? If you're within a day's drive, the store is really the best fit and selection option. Calling and sending in your fitting sheet is the second best unless you're close to someone who knows and can help you do the fitting sheet, and such. There's Facebook groups that can might help you find more answers. Frank's is also really good at communicating on Facebook.

    Is it the lighting or is the olive getting a little brown color?

      @ThomasSteed  Рік тому +1

      O yeah, the vegetable tan is still developing it's patinas. They had much more of a light tan undertone to start, and there's a rich brown developing under the green's own progression. It's part of why these whicket and Craig leathers are considered as fine as they are.

    never condition where eyelids and speed hooks this is cause of them pulling threw i looks like your over loving with oils

    • @ThomasSteed
      @ThomasSteed  Рік тому +1

      I've been pretty light on this pair. I don't apply conditioner there, it just gets a light amount from brushing after. I honestly just tighten up those 4 speed hooks at my ankles too much. It's a bad habit 😅.

      Never had an issue conditioning around hooks and eyes. Owned more boots then I'd care to mention and run a few pretty hard for work in the trades.

    • @ThomasSteed
      @ThomasSteed  Місяць тому +1

      Yeah, that wasn't the problem here. I just pull the ankle too tight, so now I skip those hooks and wrap around the back to lock in my ankle.
