Ageing Todds Boots

Post by IndyGeek78 »

Has ayone attempted to or are they planning on destressing their Todd's work boots? Just curious you see. I wear mine all the time so am aging them naturally but maybe down the line sometime I may invest in another pair and age them.
Cheers

Me feelings exactly. If you're already naturally distressing a pair, then why would you spend the money to artificially age them? The natural ones will look better anyway. :?

It's kind of like artificially distressing the gloves. Just use 'em! ;-)
