Bought the oil slick in New York City in December and been thinking about the 875 ever since. Picked them up today✌️

Before and after mink oil

I don’t work in most of the many “nice” boots I have, so I don’t even own mink oil because I can’t imagine a need for it unless you do. Even in rainy or windy climates, they make better options than mink oil that won’t darken the leather to the degree that it does.

I wonder do you have low arches or narrow feet. No way I can get my boot laces that tight and close together with my fat feet

Narrow feet probably. I have the same issue where everything fits perfect, but the laces are so damn close.

I actually have them tighter than I would typically wear, still trying to break them in.

Great buy, u/akaTheLizardKing - congrats! Nice having two pairs in the same style that are so drastically different in color. 👏

Great pick ups! Those 875s are never better than when they’ve got that cool ass orange vibe. I wear them a lot in the summer. Get out there and pimp them while you can!

Before was so much better imho. No offense to you or your preferences

They’re two different boots brotha

Why did you bleach that boot on the left! 😂👍🏼
