BACK FROM THE COBBLER: MISTER FREEDOM "ROAD CHAMP" ENGINEER BOOTS


Good friend and longtime contributor to VEB, Steve C., recently had the tires on his Mister Freedom "Road Champ" Engineer Boots switched out by his local Cobbler and kindly sent in a bunch of great photos.

In order to help explain what he wanted, Steve provided examples found on this blog and as you can see UK's Shoe Healer did a fantastic job using Vibram #705 half soles (provided by Steve) and Endenbach leather/rubber heels (the shops toughest and long wearing heels). The total repair cost was £40 + £9 shipping.  



These boots have logged a ton of true road time hours on Steve's 1946 Flathead.  It's clear these boots will last a lifetime.  




Thanks once again, Steve!!  Keep on rockin'!!
