Todd's / Coyle's Indy Boots - Cupboard Find

Post by Rob »

Oh gosh... what have I just uncovered...

Image

Let's get these in the sun.

Image

Very dusty, these belong in a museum.

Image

Yep, these are Coyle's alright.

Image

And here's the sole. I barely wore these, back in the day.

Image

Soaked one in some Pecard. That looks alright.

Image

And now both of them.

Image

Image

Thanks Pecard (which I also found the back of a cupboard, still good after 20 years)! :whip:

Cool, they look nice and shiny after soaking up all the conditioner. Pecard's can really revive leather goods. :clap:

Cheers,
Bear

Yeah, although I don't need them to look pristine... in fact, I will likely beat the daylights out of them now... it's a lovely revival job! :whip:

They are made for being abused on adventures! But the conditioning will help them stand up to loads of of adventuring.

One thing I had forgotten about them over the past decade is how heavy they are.

They weigh a ton. Like, a stupid, stupid amount for simple, ankle boots. :whip:

I guess they can really put a "KICK" in kicking nazis' behinds! :rolling:

But they do make walking long distances tiring.

Well, here's an update on my Coyles boots...hadn't worn them for some time, just sitting in my closet. A neighbors dog stole my work boots off the porch so they are gone. I thought, well, if Indys boots served him well, they should be good for me to mow the lawn.

Before I even got to the mower, the heel of the left boot fell off! I may to glue it back on or take it to the cobbler. The heel is nailed on...

Oh no! What a strange thing to happen, especially with a nailed heel! :whip:
