I had planned on wearing my boots for the use of snow removal, but mostly wore them while working as a courier for DHL as we only had one major snow event this winter in my area
I am shocked at how well this leather has held up. I’ve only added obenauf’s twice and have not needed to add bear grease/ beeswax at all. Now that the competition is over I will probably add the bear grease/beeswax sometime in the next month or two just to be safe
I will never use anything other than a Thurman style last again. The wide toe is everything when it comes to comfort in a boot you wear all day everyday. I did add an aftermarket pair of leather insoles and on occasion uses a pair of wool insoles when the temperature got low enough
These are PNW boots… you cannot get higher quality. Enough said
This sole looks like it hasn’t even been worn. I’m guessing it has another 18 months before a resole is to be even considered
I’m looking forward to wearing these boots everyday up until the next thunder dome begins… I can assure you I’ll sneak a picture of their progress in with my first action shot of my next thunder dome entry!
