Third winter with the Gouchos.

Though they appeared to be a little flimsy at first impression they proved to be solid work horses.

Greased them up once in the very beginning I didn’t ever get wet feet working in the garden, sweeping snow...and though I wear them almost daily between October and March their soles show not more wear down than my Red Wings with Vibram soles after just a few walks.

Will though get a pair of Darven Brogues from Aigle for lousy conditions and more socializing activities. Will add some live pix once I got them.

A couple weeks back I noticed a cobbler had set up shop next to the liquor store, so I took him these iron rangers that the heel had torn loose from.

He put a one piece vibram sole on them, kind of a softer rubber like the white crepe soles on the moc toe boots. Not exactly what I was expecting, nor really even what I had discussed with the lady who took them when I dropped them off, but he saved them from the garbage and the sole he put on IS pretty comfortable. Way more so than the original one.
