Junkard Boots

[Matthew Cruz]



my blue shells are nearly done, a picture is posted on the junkard IG.

Should be shipping out Monday to me. 

Those look great. Did you get the rounder toe or the standard last? I can't tell from the photo.

Did truman release a boot using rocado shell?

Wonder if anyone has experience with that and can comment on its thickness

Better still, maybe someone who has experience with both truman's rocado shell boot and viberg horween shell?

From what I gather the shell from nearly everywhere is always somewhat thinner than what Horween offers typically. I have not seen anyone complaining about Junkards shell from Rocada.

I kept asking for a rounder toe but they said it's the standard last. So not sure especially with photo angles.I will see when I get it next week or so

I've broken my Brandy shell in a bit and I'm confident the 10 is my size now, so I'm letting the Brown shell go. Just listed it in the classifieds section. Would love to sell them to someone on this chain that's an 11 to help add to the convo of fit sizing. It would probably be a perfect fit for someone that is 10.5 in Viberg 2030 last, or 11 in Trumans.

I'm open to reasonable offers.

the photo posted prior to the welting looks like the rounder last....assume we are talking about the navybshell boots...but from the angle tough to tell

I think that Rider Boot Co uses Rocado shell for their boots. I was looking through a few review threads about a shell Dundalk GMTO, but unfortunately they say nothing about the thickness. Which could be a good thing as I'm sure people would be quick to point out if it was noticeably thinner than Horween. The only observations of note versus Horween from the reviews is that Rocado shell is more "dull" or uniform and it does not have as strong of a scent.

I believe that is the last I am getting my monkey boot on -

Does anyone have the junkard sole + heel combination? How hardwearing is it? Junkard responded to me on Instagram saying their sole has "more grip and solid material than dainite." Wanted to get more input on this.

It's definitely more grippy than dainite but I can't speak to the durability because I've only had them for 2 months.

Navy shells have landed, going to pick it up after work and report back later. First time with shell so I have no basis on what is good or bad. More interested if the boots fit me great or not.

Oh damn, I'm excited for you. Hopefully they fit and the quality is up to expectations. Mine are currently in the closing department so maybe they'll be done in the next week. This Thursday will mark 6 weeks from payment.
