Hell yeah. I’m probably gonna wear my Ranger Mocs tomorrow

I like my OSB mocs a lot. But the peanut suede is basically the same color as my snuff LHS. I think either ranger mocs or something more fun from Yuketen will be a replacement for them What sole are yours on?

jawntanamo_bae15mo ago
Mine are on the Vibram honey lug, which I love. If I ever need a resole, I’ll probably try a Lactae Havae sole. Yuketen is super fun. Now that they’re doing MTOs again you can go real crazy with them too. Course, Rancourt will also do an absurd amount of MTO options

I haven’t worn thru a LH sole but the ones I felt were very spongy which is probably comfortable but I’d be curious if it lasted even one season tbh That being said, I’ll probably resole my loafers on the LH just to try it Oh shit yuketen MTO

Yeah I don’t currently have anything on LH, but I’ve tried stuff on with it that I’ve liked. That said, the Vibram honey lug is tough as shit so idk when they’ll ever need resoled

Is it comfy? It looks like it would be but I’ve never handled it I want my mocs to be comfy af

It’s super comfy! Only reason I’d consider LH next time is so it would be like jelly

I have the loafer in LH. They lasted me quite a while before wearing down. I was wearing them at least weekly with quite a bit of walking (50% of walking indoor though) and only resoled after several years. Be warned though that I tried resoling during the second half of the year and it took more than 4 months to get them back.

How did they look? I feel like I’ve seen some lightly worn LH soles and they just look like trash
jawntanamo_bae
jawntanamo_bae15mo ago
This is good to know. I have a decent amount of shoes and rotate heavily, so I’ll probably only end up resoling in a decade I think

6 months since replace. They dont get black or look grimey like other crepe - more of a dustiness that is less noticeable at different angles. Side profile contrast.

crazy pattern on those soles

Awesome! That looks nice and sturdy actually

I've been so disappointed in mine. The soles started peeling off immediately. I don't know if they cheaped out on them cause they were a pre-sale or what
awburkey
awburkey15mo ago
Might just be a lemon. Have you contacted Rancourt about it?
dbdbdb
dbdbdb15mo ago
Yeah. Too late to do anything. I have a pair of derbies from them that were great but unimpressed with these. Probably will do a resole with a leather heal but kinda sour on giving them money
awburkey
awburkey15mo ago
I mean if they're delaminating they might help fix them. I'd probably just reattach the sole with super glue or barge cement

Been loving my Baxter moc's from the summer sale. I've been digging handsewn shoes but avoided mocs for years after suffering from cheap boat shoes. Hopefully the LH sole lasts a while, it's been a blessing during the break-in period

Just wondering when does Rancourt usually do their pre-order campains?
jfarrell468
jfarrell4684mo ago
They are running one now, and also did one at the beginning of the year.

Ah good to know thanks Just wondering how easy are these shoes to resole. I was considering picking up a pair but I'm worried that I could not get them resoled in Europe
jfarrell468
jfarrell4684mo ago
Dunno, but I think you can send them back to Rancourt to be resoled.
KissGo-Goat
KissGo-Goat4mo ago
Sure that would be very expensive though
jfarrell468
jfarrell4684mo ago
I'm not sure a local cobbler would be significantly cheaper, apart from shipping. I think you need a special machine to sew the sole. I'm really not sure though. I feel like there's a lot about resoling shoes, but not many people have actually done it. Maybe I'm mistaken tho
KissGo-Goat
KissGo-Goat4mo ago
I guess shipping would be 80$ alone
jawntanamo_bae
jawntanamo_bae4mo ago
If you buy enough shoes you never need a resole 😉 Also Rancourts resole is only $120 That’s so cheap for a good resole
jfarrell468
jfarrell4684mo ago
OK, that's a really useful yardstick. So a resole is not cheap.
jawntanamo_bae
jawntanamo_bae4mo ago
No, because there’s fewer and fewer cobblers out there

That line always gets me

for stuff like the camp mocs most competent cobblers should have the McKay stitcher needed. the harder part might actually be finding a camp sole.
