The standard Vibram #100 isn't oil resistant (non-slip). You have to go with the #100F (same sole design, different chemical composition), it comes with an upcharge from Wesco. The Raptor soles are non-slip.
Noooow u tell me

Yep, as someone who works on oil covered floors, you want the 100F. Even those need the claws roughed up a bit for maximum traction in heavy oil

So one walk through the snow and the dye had come off the sole and heel Lifts. Is this normal?
-
My Boss are exactly the same where the dye and snow is concerned.
Thanks bro. Funny thing is I was torn between brown and natural. Now I’ve had both
-
No problem. I had similar thoughts when mine turned out such, since neither my Warrens or Jobmasters did. One of those had been coated with oil before they saw snow, and the other aren't really great for winter though. I'd always assumed it was actually salt exposure
I was thinking salt might be the culprit. They salt the shit out of my sidewalks and there were puddles so…. but I don’t mind really. Thanks again

I’m pretty sure it is.
All mine have gone that way with the exception of my burlaps which din’t see much snow action. Even my first pair that I religionskunnskap used snow seal on. Wabi-sabi baby.
Thanks Reuben. I actually like the natural look just as much as brown. Was a tough decision for me. These boots really held up in the snow.

Did a little WESCO Wednesday cleaning. Been wearing these on and off for 2 years, they are the division rd makeup.
To me the British tan, such a cool leather. I gave them a treatment if Venetian shoe cream. Didn't make them darker really, which is what I wanted. I also wiped down the laces with some jojoba oil.
I'll give them a day to sit then back in rotation tomorrow

I was glad to see that DR restocked those Wesco's. Really digging them and would like to eventually get a pair. I've got a decent tax refund coming to me but i'm conflicted. I could buy the Wesco's but IH will undoubtedly be dropping several flannels for FW20 that will be on my 'must-have' list. Guess I could purge some items from my closet and fund the Wesco's that way.

Best thing I've found for darkening is Obenauf's LP. It'll give them a great protective layer, as well.
