We've been experiencing some warm weather over the past couple of weeks, too warm for leather jackets but ideal for a bit of maintenance on some of my old school working footwear. Dubbin boots always reminds me of how we had to apply the stuff to the bloody awful, heavy leather football boots at school in the winter.
Edited now that the photos have loaded <sigh>
L-R British army ammo boots minus the hobnails, two pairs William Lennon hobnail boots ...and just for interest a pair of unworn British CC41 utility hobnail boots.
Top wartime CC41 boots, bottom resoled William Lennon hobnail boots. I had worn these through the soles but a trip back to Lennon's had them back to as good as new. Traditional boots, love 'em, ideal for jobbing about outside and around the horses in the winter.
Soles of the unworn wartime CC41 boots.
