Today I decided to try the walnut polish on my shoes that originally came in bourbon. I took off most of the bourbon polish with a dry rag, and then afterward finished it off with a bit of leather cleaner. On the left is before adding the walnut, and on the right is after. I like it! #allenedmonds #burnish #leather #diy #myhalfsoles #menshoes #menstyle

After 27 months, the tread on these Vibram Dress half soles is wearing thin. It's about time to tear them off​ and glue on some fresh ones. #allenedmonds #myhalfsoles #diy #menshoes #shoestyle #patina #leather #nofilter

Here's how my second set of Vibram Lug half soles are holding up after 3 months of use. The first set lasted 2.5 years. I did a better job with this second set. #myhalfsoles #mywolverines #diy #boots #menstyle #menshoes

Hanging out in Park City today. Tromping through the slush got quite a bit of street salt on the leather, so I wiped them down with Lexol Leather Cleaner and then some Lexol Leather Conditioner when I got home. #myhalfsoles #mywolverines #1000mile #menshoes #menstyle #mensfashion #boots #leather #diy #weargustin #nofilter (at Park City Mountain)

Boot weather is starting! Hiking with the family. I'm trying to show my sole a bit here by rolling my ankle. These half soles are going on 2.5 years old. Wolverine 1000 Mile. Gustin Okayama Standard. #myhalfsoles #wolverine #weargustin #leather #menshoes #boots #mensfashion #menstyle
