I love this part. Can I distress and soak a redwing to make it look like a vass u-last?

It looks like the soles are thicker than on the w+h. The pair I bought last summer from dayton looks much slimmer due to having a thinner leather sole.

What sizing is suggested for these workboots?

Only pair of boots Ive owned is the ll bean chippewa boots in a 8.5D and they fit perfect. Also have tried on the indy's in a 8.5 and they fit slighly loose.

Also if anyone feels they got jipped with the non-distressed version I'm more than willing to take them of your feet.

What the hell are you smoking? The W+H boot is the SAME boot as the one we are talking about. Dayton sends them to W+H and they do their magic on them. Dayton and W+H admit this and have no reason to deny or hide it as a fact.

Your "point" is ridiculous and makes zero sense. If you think otherwise, I welcome an explanation of the logic you used to come to it.

Boot-related anxiety related.

Are you ok dude? If you read it again it makes perfect sense.

Nope, no sense at all. I will wait for your explanation.

Those are the leather soles with a topy I believe.

Someone post a pic of the nitrile sole please.
