The smooth side of the kilties is starting to give a squeak. Might have to swap them back. I also messed up the edge cote process (forgot to water it down) and got this strong brown dressing now. It's not the end of the world but does look less appealing to me now. These boots have never been resoled since they were made over 40 years ago, I think I will get over it.

Why did you choose this item?

Style

These are 70's era packers from Justin Boot Co. They were originally designed as a horse rider's boot. They came to my ownership by way of thriftstore so there isnt much I can say for the previous ownership.
