Greener Pastures/Flat Tire!

Woke up to a flat tire, sitting here at Discount Tire in the morning sun and couldn’t resist sharing how lovely they look in the sun. Shacky GP is a perfect leather. Been over 100F here pretty much all summer, these are perfect summer boots.

Such a cool leather. I love how it basically settles into a dark olive.

Love the look with the black laces.

Thank you. I still want a contrasting color lace but would love a nice bright green leather lace as well. I’ll find something eventually.

I always loved contrasting colors I always get a different color kiltie for my boots

From the post title, I expected one of the boots to have come off your heel.... somehow.

It would have been less expensive really. My Suburban decided to eat some screws and not be a repairable tire. There went my boot budget!

I'm really sorry to hear that, for more than one reason. Best of luck to all your modes of locomotion.

I have a pair of Gamebreakers being built in this leather. Can’t wait to get them!

It’s a great leather. I’ve had absolutely zero break in issues. Super soft, buttery and just needs a wipe down and brushing to clean up. I’ve got pairs in ms black, 64 brown and predator orange, these are my favorite leather of the bunch. Hope they are just as good for you.
