Oh what a timing! I actually just got my new pair fitted last week.

Over 10 years ago I got myself some Magnum desert ranger boots (y'know, back when they were still decent), and I finally had to change them this year. The leather was still... alright but everything else was breaking apart bad, so I figured I'd finally replace them.

But like! Magnum is a shit brand now, and all the competitors available here aren't much better, and the only real options for boots in that style are just, super expensive, so at this point I just went to a cobbler to simply remake the same shoes but with better materials and nice colors.

I think they turned out great!

Yeah!

Well, technically the design of the pattern was made by Magnum in early 2010s (it's the old spyder model), but the construction of this pair specifically is all from scratch, tailored to my feet and to my orthopedic insoles.
