Chink mocassin boots have arrived. Decently comfortable out of the box and surprisingly lightweight for how heavy they look. They came with cork-foam-leather topped insole that I might swap with something else. Maybe some thin leather or foam replacement, because it feels like they takes up too much space in the boot.

Hello bootfags. I don’t know shit about boots so can one of you tell me if I can get my boots resoled and if so where? Link related. These aren’t mine but it’s the same boots. They’re the best boots I’ve ever worn but the sole is garbage. I really want to get a new sole and keep using them.

>>18643830
Filson offers repairs. If you don't want to use theirs just call up cobblers in your area and ask them.

>>18643837
I want totally different soles. The ones they make them with are okay not great. These boots are also discontinued anyway.

>>18643847
Then tell Filson or you local cobbler that when you contact them about having your boots resoled. Its just a piece of rubber nailed and glues to some leather, its not rocket science, they can figure shit out.

The US snowstorm gave all our snow a hard ice covering which was apparently sharp enough to tear up my boots when stomping through it. It's not a great picture but those are all little cuts, not scuffs, actual cuts with little leather scabs still hanging on to it. What should I do to care for these?

They'll be fine for a while, as long as you avoid smooth ice, until you wear down the shallow lugs. They do wear down relatively quick, especially if you're wearing them on concrete most of the time.

Glued and probably shit leather, but if you need that very specific look it's probably your only option. If you just want a chunky, black chelsea I'd recommend Grenson.

>>18645133
How much does glued construction matter when theres not going to be replacement outsoles? Is the durability that much worse assuming youre not getting the soles replaced?

>>18645142
Glued construction can just fail easier, especially when temperature and moisture is involved. You can be lucky and have no issues for years or get fucked quickly, it's just a gamble. Nothing to do with whether they can be resoled or not for that.

Do you guys ever condition the lining leather?

I bought some Jim Green AR8. The gusseted tongue started peeling away from the shoe before I ever put them on. Maybe I'm just a noboots newfag and that's meant to happen, but it doesn't seem like it. I'll be returning them.

I paid some 130 for my shoellies, incredible value. I only wish they had a lining, would gladly pay extra.

>>18646336
Isn't it glued and then stitched? Is the stitching coming apart or are you just seeing the excess glue stringing apart when you pull on the gusset?

at 60% they may be worthwhile as beaters
