The joy of completing my second Stitchdown Patina Thunderdome while wearing my Onderhoud Derbies is a feeling that is difficult to describe. It is a combination of pride, satisfaction, and excitement. I am proud of myself for putting in the work to care for my shoes and to wear them in a way that would make them stand out in the competition. I am satisfied with the results of my efforts, as my boots have developed a beautiful patina that is unique to me. And I am excited to see what the future holds for my boots, as I know that they will continue to age and develop with each wear. I wore my shoes as often as I could, and I took great care to condition and polish them. I also made sure to document their progress with regular photos. In the end, I was proud of the way my boots turned out. They had developed a beautiful patina that was both unique and personal. It is even more rewarding to know that my boots had inspired others to appreciate the beauty of naturally-aged footwear. The Stitchdown Patina Thunderdome was an amazing experience that I will never forget. It was a chance to connect with other people who share my passion for footwear. It was also an opportunity to learn more about the art of patina development. I am grateful for the opportunity to have participated in the contest, and I am excited to see what the future holds for my boots.
