One week impression

These have a steel shank in the arch with a skived piece of vegtan on top, a good combination it's settling nicely like a full leather stack but it didnt leave me with nearly as much of a bump on the outsole. I should of made the heels with larger pieces of leather so I didn't undercut my welting as steeply. So far theyre holding up well and I'm ready to keep going!

More about this item

I made these boots off of a pattern I pulled from an old worn out pair of redwing 919's. I tried to stay close to the original construction while still making them in my own construction method

Recommendation for Foot Shape

Compared to Other Lasts

Using lisa sorrels advice and last charts i initially settled on a 9.5d and after making two pairs on that last i decided to get a 9.5f for a little more wiggle room. The 55 last works perfectly for my foot shape.
