    Here's a link. https://riddlemagazine.com/walsh-trainers/ I'm quite surprised myself that they don't have much recognition.

    ? Overkill for sure but considering they don't make these anymore, I thought it'd be better to pamper them a bit.

    Norman Walsh Challenger retro 80s boots. The quality and comfort is phenomenal but information on the leather is lacking. Cheers!

    It's always been a practice of mine to condition new shoes. I did a one time application of Saphir Creme Universelle with bare fingers when I first got mine. Even though I was extremely gentle, it did take away some color. I applied a medium brown cream after that and the results were very...

    Long story. I'll try to keep it short. I had it with the original color for about a year. Then my boy spilled paint on it while doing the ceiling. After cleaning it up with acetone, the original color was done for. It became very dull and light. After sobbing in the shower listening to 'The...

    It looked promising until I tried it out with the thick original laces. You were right about the bottom knot. It was too noticeable through the leather and rather uncomfortable. Tried it again with thinner laces and the results were about the same. I just couldn't get pass that bottom knot...

    I don't own any of these but I can almost guarantee you'll wear the monkey boot more often if you had both of them. I got both styles but from different brands so I can only comment on the usage. The monkey boot is more casual and easier to wear. The lacing system provides more flexibility for...

    I've tried the original laces with the army lacing and it still didn't work for me. If they were just 2 inches longer, maybe. Anyway, don't let that put you off. I'm too used to the ease of using the lock laces and it's only for this particular boot.

    Here's a tip for the laces. If you can measure how much your using and cut off the excess in one length, there could be enough for another shoe like chukkas, sneakers, etc. All you need then is to improvise or get another set of clips for it. I'm using the inverted army lacing style which...

    Looking good. No doubt you'll be adjusting to the new laces but it shouldn't be long. The pennines are pretty much the only boots I have problems with. I believe we aren't the only ones who mentioned the lacing issue. As you can see from comparison with the other shoes you mentioned, the size...

    Let's wait for Kingstonian's review on the new laces and you'll have 2 reasons to consider a set for yourself.☺

    Good for you! I hope you get as much usage from them as I do. I hope you got the authentic Lock Laces. There are cheap rip offs made from pure rubber that do not last. The real one uses a similar technique like those of a bungee cord for their laces.

    Tried your way initially and it was acceptable until I nearly tripped a few times. Plus I couldn't use those thicker laces that I preferred. The eyelets are small and too closely spaced. Finally decided to get the Lock Laces. Now , it's on and off in 5 seconds. KInda like putting on a Chelsea...

    I second your assessment on the Pennines. The laces were a pain to deal with which is why I bought Lock Laces. It's not a classy solution but a practical one.

    Pair them with jeans and a Henley, women be just raining on you.? A "farmer" fetish maybe? My wife doesn't like them for that reason. I love them for their convenience and practicality. A good investment . Cheers!

    Don't think it's all that uncommon. I'm mostly casual these days. Cheaney, Trickers, Red wings, etc. Anything that screams country.? Less maintenance is my goal now.?

    I have both Churchstow and Kirkdale. The Pennine II has lots of toe room. I went up half a size to accommodate an insole or thicker socks. It's extremely comfortable after a very short break in period. You might not want to wear the other two again after that.? Please be aware that it is a G...
