I’ll wear them until they are just raggedy scraps of leather hanging off my feet. I usually go for a sturdy boot situation—right now it’s the R.M Williams Craftsman boot—I’ll wear them to traipse through a bog one day and to a wedding the next.

Every day wear. Like a torture machine when you’re breaking it in, but after, you can sleep in them.
These things can take a beating and they’re meant to. No reason to wear anything else. Dress them up, dress them down, do yard work, do no work, sit at home, etc.
I love these boots so much.
You have to apply leather conditioner every month or so with horse hair brush, and brush dirt off every day. Like a ritual.
Make sure to wear long, thick sock. Or you’ll get mad blisters.

Cleanliness is godliness ! ESP when that cleanliness is given to you by 20,000 year old water from deep inside our earth. I have a whole map saved on my phone of secret and not-so-secret hot springs all over the USA and Europe. Happiest when dunked in hot water (*see spas, above)

Maybe it’s because one time I was lucky enough to live in a house with a sauna, or as a rowdy teenager I spent after-hours on weekends at London’s gay bathhouses, but, truly, still, at least once a week I need to decompress in a spa. When I lived in the Bay Area, I’d go to the Kabuki or the Russian Banya, and sit in silence and sweat. In L.A. I’ll nip down to Koreatown. Even the seedy spas are fab. I just want to exfoliate. Pls send spa tips 🙏🏼

I cannot bear short drives and being stuck in a car in traffic, so I bought a mid-noughties Vespa up in Oakland about 6 years ago and it’s the best thing I’ve ever owned. I love being able to zip down side streets in NYC, avoiding traffic🦨 and being able to park right outside where I want to go instead of cruising blocks for hours is a dream. In summer when it’s hot I’ll just drive around for the breeze; friends like hopping on the back for rides.
