Re: Brass screwed and wood pegged shoos
I think you made the point a while ago, that RM Williams are fine with screwed soles or heels, because OZ is a dry place. Such construction methods in wet climates, like the UK, result in rust and oxidization, etc. I bet this is partially why the UK shoomakers don't do this much (if at all these days).
On the other hand, in my thread on military boots, there were some old boots worn in hill and dale with the wooden pegged soles, so they must have been a robust way do to things.
Maybe no-one makes shoos like this today because no-one invented a machine for pegging instead of stitching (i.e. Mr Goodyear)?

Re: Brass screwed and wood pegged shoos
Brass nails will oxidize producing a verdigris that is readilly absorbed into leather oils and cremes.
to some, it is unsightly, but with the PH of leather actually harmless.
Pegging, with wood and brass is still done on your finer western boots, particularly at the instep
where we don't want funy things happening with a stirrup.

Re: Brass screwed and wood pegged shoos
Fritzl:
what do you think of Mr Kiss putting rubber on the botton of wood pegged sole shoos?
My thoughts are that a shoo should be worn a few times in the dry and at least once in the rain/wet before a rubber bottom/topy should be applied: it will allow for the wood pegs to swell and hence tighten the construction of the sole to the upper much better.
