I would love to get my hands on an old Florsheim imperial, either 93602 or 605. I’ve never seen one In 14e. Do they exist? Or do they run wide?

Little Bick 4 today for one of my better purchases in the last year or so. The Hearst, briefly offered by Nordstrom - I had hopes that these would be added to the normal lineup.

I’ve struggled to find laces to accommodate these though, any ideas where to find decent boot laces for these? Most are about 6” too long.

I was thinking about getting some metal aglets to shorten a pair of mine, but this gave me a great idea... just gotta find some clear heat shrink in the right diameter now.

I used guarded goods rawhide, because you can cut them to your preferred length

Range day in the sturgis 2.0 today. Weather report was courtesy of Adrian Kronauer. Should have listened. My 6.5 Grendel needs a rebarrel; the budget tube I got is not the level of accuracy I'm looking for. Sucks to have to pay a lot more but it be what it be.

Anywho.

Here's a fun gif. Do you have a moment to talk about our lord and savior Aries?

I don’t love rawhide laces for whatever reason, but at this point this seems like the most practical solution.

Cutting a pair down and melting down the ends is an option I hadn’t considered

You do t have to even melt down the ends.

I’m with you because I feel they can’t be tightened as much, but it’s kind of the best option I found

Saw an Ebay listing for a pair of AE Leyland. Judging by the last photo in the auction, these might actually be owned by Jim Leyland.

I've also struggled with this issue with this same boot. I tried cutting rawhide to length, but they are a little bit thicker than I'd like. The search continues. Until then, I just use the stock laces and wrap around, but I'm not a fan of that method in general.

If you have never had menudo, I highly recommend it. Around here it is the breakfast of champions. Who needs Wheaties.

Gotta love the stomach of cow soup. If you are really lucky you get a foot or maybe some mystery parts that no one can identify.

Ok so I’m in Geneva - where do I go to try that? Thanks @Shoenut

Try 550 cord.

No. They had a little wear when I got them on eBay
