More mini-ripple magic landed today. Miloh shop mushroom chamois originally specced with commando, but I don't have much use for commando in Houston.

Does the work comprise simply of regluing the sole or were any restiches involved w/ the stitchdown(if so, did they hit the original holes)?

The miloh boots are stitchdown construction. If I understand correctly, he had to restitch the outer row of stitching. Looks very good to me. I think the heel is nailed and glued.

Finally received my re-done MTO scout boot from the 3Sixteen even in LA last October.

Original incorrect spec (charcoal tongue instead of mushroom, and foam midsole instead of stacked leather)

Redone with mushroom tongue and stacked leather midsole

Best MTO I've seen. I have an appointment this coming wednesday and will definitely be using this as inspiration. Sorry to hear that they used the wrong midsole the first time around. What color is used besides the mushroom?

Thanks!

Are you asking what color of leather is available? My MTO was a combination of mushroom chamois and charcoal chamois.

In some light the charcoal looked navy, just wanted confirmation as to what color you actually used. It's funny, your makeup answered a lot of questions I had including what 8 smaller eyelets would look like on a scout. Thinking of adding a stitch cap to seal the deal. Can't wait for wednesday.

Just got myself a pair of the slipons and they feel so damn nice. I took their advice and sized down 1/2. I usually am a 10 in viberg and took these in a 9.5. I was worried they would be too small but I’m pleasantly surprised how great they felt.

These look nice. I assume there’s little to no arch support? I wear custom orthotics, maybe that would provide adequate support?
