Sebastiaan Ammerlaan 🇳🇱It's weekend, and that means it's time to show off more Goodyear welded shoes! Here's some classics: my Iron Rangers from <a href="https://mastodon.nl/tags/RedWing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RedWing</a>. Work boots, though I've done some modest <a href="https://mastodon.nl/tags/hiking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hiking</a> in them, too. Here's a fun clip of a pair of them being cut open, to see what's inside: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9hVqX-0X8c" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9hVqX-0X8c</a><a href="https://mastodon.nl/tags/buyitforlife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#buyitforlife</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nl/tags/clothing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#clothing</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nl/tags/fashion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fashion</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nl/tags/goodyearwelt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#goodyearwelt</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nl/tags/frugal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#frugal</a> @goodyearwelt <a href="https://mastodon.nl/tags/boots" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#boots</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nl/tags/shoes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#shoes</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nl/tags/gywweekend" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gywweekend</a>

Sebastiaan Ammerlaan 🇳🇱The character limit sure is a challenge sometimes, but having a succinct post is also a good thing. I wish the <a href="https://mastodon.nl/tags/goodyearwelt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#goodyearwelt</a> community here was as lively as on Reddit, but the way to make things happen here is to be the change you want to see in the world, so here we go! I have plenty more goodyear welted shoes and boots, so I'll coin <a href="https://mastodon.nl/tags/gywweekend" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gywweekend</a> to show them off and hopefully add some activity here and on the Lemmy community goodyearwelt@lemmy.world.

Sebastiaan Ammerlaan 🇳🇱My new-to-me <a href="https://mastodon.nl/tags/Meindl" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Meindl</a> Perfekt <a href="https://mastodon.nl/tags/hiking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hiking</a> boots. Changed laces after I saw the pretty examples here: <a href="https://www.magazin-zuerich.ch/vollleder-wanderschuhe-von-meindl" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.magazin-zuerich.ch/vollleder-wanderschuhe-von-meindl</a> (The red-laced ones are Super Perfekt boots, but 🤷) Used to frequent /r/goodyearwelt, but <a href="https://mastodon.nl/tags/Reddit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Reddit</a> today is... Well. Did learn a thing or two about <a href="https://mastodon.nl/tags/boots" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#boots</a> and <a href="https://mastodon.nl/tags/shoes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#shoes</a>. A Goodyear welt is recognizable by the stitching around the sole, and makes it possible to replace them. Lengthening the life of your boots!<a href="https://mastodon.nl/tags/buyitforlife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#buyitforlife</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nl/tags/clothing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#clothing</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nl/tags/fashion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fashion</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nl/tags/goodyearwelt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#goodyearwelt</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nl/tags/frugal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#frugal</a> <a href="https://lemmy.world/c/goodyearwelt" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@goodyearwelt</a>

PinkCollGone down a rabbit hole about Goodyear Welting and quality shoes. Not surprised to find that most of the brands offering GW only do it on their Men's shoes or they only have a small selection of Women's shoes that may or may not be GW.Dr Martens are apparently no longer properly GW, it's a faux stitch.My aim this winter was to buy a really good pair of boots that will last and will be repairable, now I'm getting annoyed that they don't think Women want decent boots!<a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/shoes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#shoes</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/goodyearwelt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#goodyearwelt</a>
