Hoss Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 In my never-ending quest for comfortable boots, I’m considering these . As boots are not required in aged based categories, and don’t have heavy lug soles, I assume these would be ok? I do wish the soles weren’t so white!

Jefro, SASS#69420 Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Those will be fine. I can't hardly wear boots so I wear my Red Wing oxfords. Have a pair of florshime captoes for dress up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I were a MD I'd call them legal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Ray Davis Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Ugg. Wedge soles. Personal choice, but I like a true, separate heel. (Something blocky, not a pussucat or stiletto.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes...liquid shoe polish will soak in and color the neutral sole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that folks that need them don't care whether I think they look good or not...and even if they didn't "need" them...and they LIKE them...who cares what I think. They are legal...end of story!

Turkey Flats Jack Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 There's a product called edge dressing. It's made just for keeping the color of the soles of your boots the color you want. Sure polish or leather dye will probably work but that's the correct tool for the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoss Posted August 13, 2021 Author Share Posted August 13, 2021 Update…. Tecovas customer service certainly very good. Ordered yesterday at 1034. Arrived today 1335 Boots fit nicely. Felt good. Sole was kinda like a tennis shoe sole. Felt comfortable just walking around the house. I’ll give a full report once I’ve worn them for a day!

Dusty Devil Dale Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Back in the 70s, I used to rock climb the high Yosemite walls in low cut crepe sole boots. They were the standard for climbing then. Then in about mid 80s, crepe was replaced by vibram, and then later on by "sticky vibram". The vibram wears better, but IMO, the crepe soles were much superior for gripping both dry and wet surfaces. I'm sure you will like your new boots.

Hoss Posted August 14, 2021 Author Share Posted August 14, 2021 WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER! Boots were very comfortable thru a match. While my feet still are a tad sore, way better than before. I think I’ve found a winner! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
