Get them wet

 

[Derek Beckman]

If you make it happen count me in for a pair of 64 brown moc alderts!

I have some 1964 black roughout alderts in production right now, and my falcon MTO buck brown are beasts!

Get them wet

I feel like it is between the rubber layers.

Get them wet

this is the antithesis for squeak mitigation

Had a speak in the heel and mid foot area, yep after getting them wet and oiling them it went away.

I'm not certain "how" to get them wet or oil them. In both cases, it honestly feels like it's coming from the attachment of the sole to the midsole. I could be wrong, but that's really what my gut is telling me. I have no idea how to get moisture (oil or water) into that area.

In any event, @Nicks Boots Shuyler is on it. I believe they are going to be resole'd. I notice it more in my Roberts than my Builder Pro's, but i think it's because the v-bar is so much thinner than the Builder Lugs. I can actually feel it vibrate as it squeaks in my Roberts. And I can make it squeak really slowly if I flex them slowly. In both cases, it very much feels like it's outside of the boot, if that makes sense.

@Nicks Boots Shuyler do you have an ETA on 1964 brown being added to quick ship boots? I'm looking to order a pair of Travelers.

I would expect them to be live this week, will post any updates

I noticed they're not live on the site anymore... but is there any chance a homie could get a 34" 1964 western belt?

Our sewing machine for the westerns broke so we had to take them down. Working on alternatives. Sorry!

Ahh dang, that explains it. Thanks!

Omg just saw the 8 inch Moc Toe quick ship. You made my week!! Will the 1964 brown also be available in that model when updated? Otherwise I'll probably grab the 1964 Chocolate

We have a few runs of collab boots to run through in 1964 so inventory is going to be a little tight for 8 weeks. But will probably be back in 6 weeks or so. The 1964 chocolate is really nice, though. Like I would just get it it’s really pretty.

Well, damn. I definitely understand, though. What would be the best way to go about this for me (and by best way, I mean the way that won't upset too many people too much):

• Put in a standard lead time order matching the options on a quick ship order, and call to have it converted to a quick ship order once 1964 Brown becomes available for it (if they will let me do that, otherwise cancel my standard order and reorder as a quick ship). This would let me get my boots by next Summer if 1964 Brown takes a lot longer (like if it ends up being April or later, basically) to be available on quick ship but hopefully a lot earlier.
• Just wait for 1964 Brown to be available on quick ship and order then.
• Just order on standard lead time if I want 1964 Brown so bad and stop bothering the fine people at Nick's with my damn questions.

Appreciate the transparency, order placed! Figured I'd snag a shirt while I was at it. Now the waiting begins
