leather boot care

[pdedse]

I've used a pair of Keen hiking boots because when I get somewhere, they're comfortable to walk around in, especially since I often wear cargo shorts underneath my Aerostich pants.  Best $100 spent on gear (10 years ago).  Since then, I've made some upgrades.  A local shoe repair did them all for less than $50.

First, a toe pad for more comfort on upshifts, since the leather was getting softer.
Next, added a zipper on the sides so I don't have to tie the laces each time.
Lastly, I added a strap across the face so that the lacing won't untie, especially with the Aerostich pants always rubbing them loose.

Nice! You should design your own brand of mc boot and go full-on with production.
