Today’s Fade of the Day is really a Patina of the Day with this pair of Firetrap Moc-Toe boots that have seen plenty of time knocking about in a shed.

These boots come to us courtesy of Neil Reay-Bennett of Cumbria, UK, who says he wears them in the shed while repairing instruments for his business, Orange House Instrument Repair. Neil says he’s tried his level best to kill these boots, but that they simply refuse to die.

Perhaps it’s for the best, as they seem to have become trusty leather companions of sorts.
