Prospect Park Nature Club I Wouldn’t Want To Be Anywhere Else Brooklyn’s Backyard T-Shirt

Keep an eye out Prospect Park Nature Club I Wouldn’t Want To Be Anywhere Else Brooklyn’s Backyard T-Shirt . for welted boots – boots where the join between the upper and the outsole is stitched all the way around the shoe. Stitching provides an additional reinforcement to the construction, so your shoe is less likely to fail. It can also make repairing them a lot easier. Leather uppers are usually more durable than synthetics, which is a shame for vegans but, for now at least, it’s true. Leather uppers are typically a lot more repairable as well. Keep them in great condition by using shoe creams, balms and oils to hydrate the leather, keep the surface looking healthy and help prevent water damage. I alternate between shoe creams and oil and do my boots about once a month. Consider sizing up so a seamstress can make alterations to allow the fit to feel comfortable [if your size fluctuates over time]. The high street especially, to further drive down manufacturing costs, will use the most minimal amount of fabric possible and often the dress size we feel we are won’t fit comfortably because the cut of that piece doesn’t allow any room for flexibility or movement. If you have some excess fabric at the seam and the run of stitches are straight and neat, you have options to have that piece taken in or out.
