New Reproduction Low Boots. Made Exclusively for Kelley's Military. No Other Vendor is Offering These Boots!
I Worked hand in hand for roughly a year with the manufacturer, going over every detail. I've offered similar boots from a reputable manufacturer for many years, I've leanered a lot from studying there boots as well as original examples. As a result I can now offer more accurate boots at a More Affordable Price.
The boots are made using a 2.5-3mm leather and feature the shark nose style toe and a slightly taper heal. They are constructed of a rough outer toe and smooth uppers that are complete with 9 sets of eyelets. The soles are held together using wood and steel pegs as well as being bonded with glue making them very strong. The soles edges are finished off with a wax sealing the edges.
The
bottom of the boots are finished off with reproduction steel heel/toe
irons and hobnails. Hobnails were a challenge we modeled them after the
common seen original replacement nails. We found this nail always holds
better than the 2 prong variants. The spike that goes into the boot is
basically a nail with a slightly oversized head with ribs, when the sole
swells a little the leather tends to grab onto them and keep them in
longer.
Sizing: The
boots are measured in centimeters and the sizes are pretty much exact. We strongly recommend you measure
yourself and not just go by the size inside your Nike basketball
sneakers. Please if you have any questions contact us we want you to get the correct size the first time.
On a hard surface (not a rug) wearing
socks stand on a piece of paper and draw an outline of your foot. Take
the outline and measure it from the longest points toe to heel in
centimeters. Then add 2 centimeters to that measurement this will
give you your size.
Example: If your outline measures 28cm add 2cm = 30cm
Widths: All are a Regular width if you have wide feet these will most likely not fit you.
Break In: This new batch is very supple but all boots should be broken in. Breaking in a boot like this is essentially molding it to your specific foot.
Break In Steps:
- Try them on make sure they fit after they are broken in you will not be able to return them
- If you want to blacken your boots this should be done before anything
- Dub them with Shoe grease such as Huberd or Snoseal
- Polish them if you would like (this depends on the owner)
- Get them wet
- Wearing whatever socks you will be using put the boots on
- Wear them around until dry
Care: You
will need to seal them from time to time depending on how much you use
them, best thing to use is a type of shoe grease such as Huberd's.
NEVER DRY THEM INFRONT OF A FIRE OR WITH A BLOW DRYER ETC.
This goes for reenactment campfires as well. After use unlace them and
simply let them air dry, if you want to speed up the process you can
blow on them a little but you might get light headed.
