Proper leather shoes

Had a pair of fracaps for a while. Too small, but apart from that super comfy

"Danner resoles these boots for $130 and then you'd have an almost new pair"

Yeah totally, good as new

These look a bit like Timberlands to me or at least very similar to the westmore moc toes I have.

Thanks for the recommendations. Went with the Sorel Madson Hikers in the end as I managed to find them for £90 online.

Where from, if you don't mind me asking?

Altberg make some good walking boots

Hi ‘drøn’

Thanks for reaching out. The boots shown in the campaign are the Gustin Guide Boot (https://www.weargustin.com/store/4198). To be honest, we do not have any immediate plans to bring this style back. We're working on some other boots at the moment and will probably do something similar again in the future, but no plans for the moment.

Best,

Where are the before-after pics?

It was as difficult as sending Gustin an e-mail...

Got Dainite Logger soles and heels done, £20 and 24hour turnaround, I’m pretty impressed and looking forwards to wearing the boots in anger now.

Looks like a £20 job - not perfect but totally serviceable. Good work.

Aye, fine for my purposes.

So long as they walk fine and don't come apart, it's all win.

Hope you went for the veldtschoen and a stout haired doormat.

Anybody have at their disposal a good cobbler in south london? Thanks

They've been mentioned here before too

Yes indeed, and when visiting my dad at Christmas he said “those look like really sensible shoes for where you live now, veldtschoen aren’t they”.

Having spent years ignoring parental views on clothes it feels odd to get his seal of approval.
