ive got those grey reverse horse boots as well - man they are uncomfortable ! my heels hurt after an hour or so and my toes keep going numb ... hoping its just the breaking in period but none of my other a1923 have done this ...

the folds are coming along nicely though !

Maybe condition them and the oil will allow them
To loosen up?

I generally just wear things really hard and then they loosen up. Insoles and thick socks help.

So, another question about CCP:

Big fan of the U Sole boots, but how long does the opening stay? i.e. I would hope that wearing them wouldn't compress the sole to take away that feature, but that doesn't seem realistic. I just recently saw this photo which looks like the sole has been flattened -- or maybe it's the angle? I don't know.

yeah , tried spraying them with feibings mink oil which has loosened them up a bit but with them not being a smooth leather thats all i can do really ...

had them on all day though and they havent hurt so hopefully a corner has been turned !

Why get the u-sole when you want it to flatten and close up? It will eventually because of the weight you put on it. Otherwise, just get the prosthetic boots with the regular soles/heels.

 

[Felhgeschrei]

I wouldn't want them to close, ideally. The unique sole is what really sells it for me, but if they just end up being flat, eitherway, I don't see why I should pursue them.

 

[nyarkies]

It will flatten unless you walk tiptoed when wearing it.

 

[Felhgeschrei]

Well, that sucks to hear. That was a worry of mine, anyway.

is that how the u sole goes after a bit of wear ? looks better IMO ...

 

[sinnedk]

Skip the u-sole very impractical

 

[Felhgeschrei]

Figured as much. I do really dig the side-zip drips and folded boots, though. CCP has no shortage of great footwear.

 

[sinnedk]

again dude, where will you wear those?

 

[futuresailors]

Maybe he's vermin supreme and looking to get into fashunz.

I think it is narrow-minded of you to think people should buy footwear for the sake of wearing it. I often buy footwear just to keep other people from owning it.
