Does anyone know what I can use on nubuck leather that is dried out from scrubing out a stain? Will a regular leather conditioner be fine? (ex: redwing leather conditioner)

I would not use a cream leather conditioner on nubuck. There are special spray conditioners available. That and a brush your best bet.

Got word from PTC that the black waxed flesh bad seed are in production.  Unfortunately they had to change it from 10 eyelets to 8.  Not sure how I feel about that.



Thanks for the heads up. I'm in the same boat with you, but I think it should still look the same... Though I do wish Viberg and the PTC and Notre, in a previous case, could lock in what the boots would look like before setting up a pre-order...


Same. I really kind of had my heart set on the 10 eyelets...

Latigo would be nice

Latigo is not very thick, at least on the Viberg Half Japanese I have. I've seen much thicker chromexcel and oil tan. It does feel dense and strong and not very stretchy, though, and I bet it comes in thicker grades than what was used on my shoes

Does anyone know who might stock a 2045 or 1035 lasted boondocker, in something other than a corded sole (preferably leather), in a size 11.5? Superdenim does the 1035 but only up to 11. I first wanted 2030 pretty bad but the 2045 is growing on me, but I'm not a huge fan on the cord sole, as it find it too dark. Would probably be looking to pick it up near the end of the month or early 2016. My search has given me nothing.

edit: alternatively, does anyone have some nice photos of their (or anyone's) boondockers with a corded sole? Perhaps in an effort to win me over if I can't find anything else.

I originally did not care for the corded sole just on looks but after getting the context horsebutt it has one me over...there are alot of light brown flecks in the sole which sort of match with the rough out. I have the 2045 Club Monaco..have not worn it but I think it looks pretty good...

A perfect boondocker for me would be 110 or 2040 with white upper contrast stitching, stitchdown, structured toe with a double leather sole with half lug or vibram half sole...I have to say there is something really nice looking about the MrPorter boondocker on leather sole - the leather edge that does through to the heel looks great.

Hey guys. Do you think natural cxl, especially after worn in, would be too similar to coffee chrompack? I didn't think so at first, but after seeing some pics I'm not so sure. Your thoughts are appreciated.

Here is an 11.5 boondocker on the 2045 last.
Look on Grailed.
