Checked today. Our local repair man can replace the hollow heels for £16 The job is his to do now:)

Thanks for that. I never thought of getting them repaired! We have a very good shoe repair man in town. I'll see what he says

Thanks, that's good to know. I think that I will get the Merrell Moabs

Peak District, but low ground rather than Moor walking. The ones I bought last year didn't last 3 months until the hole in the heels appears. The Regatta ones were sent back.

During 2023 I bought 3 pairs of boots all of which turned out to be a disappointment. I wanted a light weight boot for dry and easy walking - they all failed within weeks due to wear exposing hollow heels OK, they were not expensive boots (Regatta, North Ridge) but one pair bore the Vibram brand...

Some very nice cases there. I like the "Pull the Dot" fasteners. Expensive but they are secure

I made a couple of bags from broken saddles. They were for my daughter and husband who run an equestrian centre in Spain This leather looks really good with the aged patina but it is a nightmare to sew due to the natural compression from years of riding.

Thanks Tony for the welcome back:)

I have not been very active on here for a while, but am now in a position to offer a few items of my leather work. On show here is an unfinished hand made belt (it just needs the final length to be specified and the end cut) The leather is 4mm+ Bridle Leather in Australian Nut colour. The buckle...

I have always preferred solid, cast brass buckles. They always look good even when scratched and can be relied upon. Sometimes, even high price belts use poor quality buckles. Whether you choose double or single buckle (with keeper) is personal preference but you can't beat a "West End" single...

I have recently been contacted to check if I still make my versatile coat slings. For a few years now, I have been making these leather coat carrying slings. They have been mainly used by upland workers and hill walkers, who don't carry a backpack, but may need their waterproofs (at any time of...

This knife started as a raw blade (Ground by the late Bob Engnath) based on a Bob Loveless design. (for more about Bob Engnath and his work see here http://www.engnath.com/drwframe.htm) It came straight from the heat treat stage. I completed the rest of the work. The knife features brass...

Did you ever get to make a positive ID on this pair of birds?

The identification of these birds is a puzzle to me. As has been mentioned already, Peregrine Falcons very rarely use trees to nest in. Also they don't build nests, usually they just scrape an indentation in the soft surface on their chosen nest ledge. Also unusual is the report of the male...
