Thought I’d share an amazing score I found this summer on Poshmark. All in I paid $250 Canadian for a brand new pair of JK Boots. Normally these would have been north of $900 to get them to Canada. The best part. They are my size. Rough out lower 10 inch smooth upper.
Freshly oiled with Obanaufs:

@Autorotate Have you tried reaching out directly to whites?
Otherwise I think all the other big PNW boot shops (bakers, nicks, wesco, and jk come to mind) do rebuilds but their wait times can be a little long. Honestly, it's a pretty big modification, and knowing how difficult it can be to communicate with some of these shops, I'd want to be there in person to talk through to make sure you get what you want. -
@Autorotate I’d try Whites first then go to JK Boots . I believe JK boots waits are a bit less than Nicks. JK boots also give me a more Mom & Pop vibe and perhaps more likely willing to work with you vs the bigger brands.

@coldcashandcolderhearts @pechelman solid rec’s. I’ve been watching those boot resto vids on YouTube lately. Where they take totally killed boots and bring them back to life. When I was in Japan, I went to see the Fukurokoju shop (worth the google deep dive) and had some RW pecos resoled in his style. So damn foolishly I sold those about 5 years ago. I have pics some where. I’ll dig them up.

@Autorotate second unsung house I sent him a pair of boots and for a rebuild and turnover time was around two weeks

White’s X SOP big shooters

Just got some Redwing 2966 rebuilt by *Unsung. By far the nicest dudes... I was updated the entire way through the process in real time. Turnaround once the work started was about a week.
Removed toe bump
Resoled with Dr. Sole half soles.

@Tyler-Durden wow. That’s awesome. What a result! I’m gonna reach out to them ASAP.
-
@Tyler-Durden do you find the boots more comfortable? I think the increased flexibility in the midsole, because of the half soles, would be so choice.

Well I haven't got them back yet but they were already fully broken in and comfortable before sending off. It was just time for new soles so decided to get a little extra work done. Will follow up with updates once I get them on.

IH-555s with a couple of Tricker`s two tone country boots.

@Motorhubro Really like the look of those…
-
This has probably been asked a million times before, but do denim stains come out easily on leather boots? I have a really nice pair of tan leather Lucchesse's coming in that I want to wear with my relatively new UHR's, but the denim bleed is scaring me.

2 weeks in and these are starting to get very comfy!
