Just bought these Half Dome Duck Boots from FW18.

Do I need to waterproof the suede? With the rubber sole I was hoping to use them as rain boots as well.

Has anyone sold through DMC99? What was your experience?

Items seem to move slowly I'm guessign because of the high prices

does anyone use cedar shoe trees for their visvim sneakers?

i put cedar shoe trees for all my visvim shoes no matter boots, shoes or sneakers

and my fbt soles fall off apart today which i bought 2 years ago
think visvim shoes can’t bear cedar shoe trees
they causes deformation so the glue can’t hold the sole

i like to hear opinions from you guys
thanks

That is simply FBTs being FBTs.

i’m so afraid that i took all the cedar out of all my visvim sneakers , excluding fabro and boots

now i have so many spare cedars😐

I may be biased but if you are U.S./NA based why not use Overdye? Better consignment situation in almost every aspect...

Hey folks, apologies if this was discussed before but does anyone have information about the comfort of the skagways? I've never tried a visvim sneaker that isn't an FBT before and was curious about break in, comfort etc.

 

[discobobulated]

No breaking in required. Comfortable from the start.

For me at least, skags tend to have a shallow instep/footbed which sinks and conforms to your foot after a few wears. I think this is due to the removable cork insole which needs some time to compress and mould to your foot.

Anyone got any experience of resoling FKT runners? The Vibram outsole on my most loved pair is beginning to wear thin. I've found generic Vibram trainer outsoles, but they're not the same as the original Visvim/Vibram ones — any advice or ideas would be most welcome...

Does he do consignment? I read somewhere that he is just dropshipping stuff from sites like Xianyu for higher prices.
