These were in need for some TLC. Venetian Shoe Cream seems to work well on Waxed Flesh so I gave them some. Also I Always have a Natural leather midsole, this one came with Black midsole. Snow, 20° Below temps, freezing rain, getting on and off equipment and pallets really gave the Black a beating. So I cleaned the midsole up and treated it with Fiebing’s neutral Resolene acrylic finish for more protection. I like so many leathers in smooth and roughout and I really like waxed flesh. I also think at least 1 pair of waxed flesh should be in every boot enthusiasts collection. Happy New Year!

I was born in 1964 the same year Nicks started and I used to live near Spokane.
I was 14 B. It was a little tight with insoles or thicker socks. Went to 14.5D and feels better.
