Goodbye 875

This has to be the saddest post. My 875 was stolen. The thief knew whats good as well, since my neighbours also have their shoes outside the house, and only my 875 was gone.

I wish the new owner will take good care of this lovely shoes. 875, its been a good run with you. Have fun with your new owner. God bless!

Timberland Earthkeepers City Premium Chelsea Boot

Here it is, finally, the pictures that you been waiting for.

RP: S$299. But I bought it at 20% discount

It does looks like the army boots from this angle

Earthkeepers; heard many good reviews but let's just see how it goes

Made in China

Soft leather

 I took a plunge in getting a black boots for the first time. Well, not really my first black boots. Got 2 pairs before this. But they are standard issue army boots which I wouldn't even touch it when I am not required to wear it. Don't get me wrong, the army boots are very comfortable after breaking in. But why would I wear them when I am suppose to be a civilian?

Having said that, this pair of Earthkeepers do look like the army boots from some angle, except this has a more obvious sole stitch which makes it different.

First impression:

• Leather feels soft (very much softer than my Red Wing / Clarks)
• Overall built feels lower quality than Red Wing
• Lightweight

Also, if you are wondering what's the purpose of the stretchable fabric part; it is actually for slipping in and out of the boots, without undoing the lace! Perfect for lazy people like me. Especially when I have to take in and out of my boots several times a day due to work reasons. Some websites show picture of this boots without the lace, it can be worn that way too since the laces are for no practical reasons other than aesthetics reason. But it looks kinda odd for a pair of boots without laces so just leave it on for the sake of having it on.

This is the tab that you can pull up the boots. 

Let's just wait and see how this pair of boots gets roughed up by me! Stay tuned!

Amazon.com, YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!

Just last night I was searching for this pair of boots. Ready to buy them in Singapore cos I am not willing to risk the waiting time + possible sizing error (though I guessed my size correctly) by buying them online. Saw it on Amazon.com and used it to read the reviews only. And I went ahead to buy them at a local Timberland store.

And now, on Amazon.com, I see;

Men's Earthkeepers^® City Premium Chelsea Boot

New Boot Purchase!

Finally, the itch has arrived. I am now eyeing a pair of boots. I shall keep it hush hush for now as I have not confirmed on getting it yet. Doing research and looking for reviews. But sadly and apparently, there aren't many people like me around to post up picture of worn boots. :(

Clarks Desert Boots

Somehow I just find this pair of shoes so versatile, that it can be a weekend getaway shoes or a smart casual one to dine in a French restaurant.

Just treated it with Obenauf's LP and brush it down with a horsehair brush.

Amazing ain't it?

(Another) "Ponding"

I am so glad I wore the 9013 today. Didn't expect such a heavy downpour suddenly. Had to roll up my jeans, first time rolling 4 cuffs in order to make it to my car. The water level was just at the tip of the boots.

So its about 6 inches?

Gosh.
