Currently debating a pair of urban loggers in waxed flesh or trying the walnut work leather in roughout and treating myself to get a similar look that's a bit more unique. Not sure if my results would be great but I like the idea of getting a thicc work leather with the characteristics of the waxed flesh.
Too bad i got my black bison Nicks two weeks ago. However, I have been enjoying the no break-in for the upper. Just taking forever to get my footbed worked in.
Can someone clarify this for me? Is black waxed flesh black roughout and the brown waxed flesh is brown roughout? Or is the difference just the color of the wax they put on the roughout?
I wish there was a way to bring that black waxed finish back if you wanted instead of having it just turn brown. Getting the patina is nice, but resetting it and enjoying it all over again is so fun. So far people have only been able to bring it back as a super dark brown.
As someone who owns several pairs, I’m not buying another until shell cordovan is an option with a barefoot style build. Inflexible boots with arch support and a high heel is not conducive to long term foot health.
@@RagnarokGenesis00 already have, it’s still too much, too stiff. I don’t need arch support, mine work just fine. Rather use my foot muscles and have sensation in my feet.
@@memefeed2147 interesting. I've only recently been going into leather boots. how about crown northampton? Idk if you consider those barefoot but they're as flat as it gets next to foam. unless you're talking about width wise for the spread of toes for barefoot.
@@RagnarokGenesis00 I have a pair of crown Northampton’s in shell cordovan, it’s my dress shoe, too narrow for my feet comfortably for everyday use and not flexible at all. I wear Gaucho Ninjas in shell cordovan.
@@memefeed2147 I see. I'm getting the picture now. Would this be in boot or sneaker medium for the barefoot style? I would enjoy myself a leather barefoot build in either capacity, boot or "sneaker", while retaining the quality of leather makings. Thanks for sharing.
Will this end up being Grant’s last video? Crazy. He’s definitely a big part of why I even come to the channel. Gonna miss the heck out of him.
Did he quit?
@@ksvensenYep
Why?@@EssenceofPureFlavor
I'm pumped for the black waxed flesh.
What are the brass things on the soles of those Grant? It's a true mystery.
How do you care for the leather. What cay use to take care of it (conditioner, care, etc.)? Please help!
Placed my order yesterday! I also wonder what a black Predator leather would look like.
Alright I'm ordering this ASAP!!! Been waiting for this for a long time.

"urban logger" always makes me lol. Great boots though.

I had the same experience on my 1964 Brown. Thankfully a year later and the boots are amazingly comfortable!
Oh yeah, I would love to get some waxed flesh boots! It's just nice stuff.
Just ordered a pair looking forward to the black waxed flesh
Can you make some boots in the olive waxed fleshed!? Please!!!!
I’m holding out for another run of #8!!
It is cool but the brown waxed flesh is already pretty dark and almost looks black in certain lightings
Cool thanks. Will the Black Waxed Flesh be available in a near future? Or as a permanent addition to your selection of leathers?
Can someone clarify this for me? Is black waxed flesh black roughout and the brown waxed flesh is brown roughout? Or is the difference just the color of the wax they put on the roughout?
The difference is in the colour of the dye used on the surface of the roughout, before the wax is added.
Cool, thank you!

Black waxed flesh is the best looking patina. Brown looks great new but black looks a lot more like the brown once it's been used!
YES!
EDIT: We can’t pick contrasting sole edge? Seems it only comes in black?
I was just looking at that
@@NoVaRedacted it’s a bummer. I can’t roll with black edge. Too dark. Wish I could do Natural finish.
That was an oversight. We will add the edge color options 👍🏼
@@nicksusa THANK YOU!
I'm trying to decide the edge color for these. Black or Natural?
natural, you can dye it black later
The no.1 question is why does it take 16 months for a pair of boots?
Grant, buddy we need some olive waxed flex!

Grant has the best job on the planet lol
Brown WF > Black WF

then wear a shoe with less heel and less arch. like a christy with a low arch profile
