Can you not replace the welt then ?

I put in about 215 feet of fence with these post anchors about 13 years ago and they're still holding strong. I had to use a jackhammer since, as he mentions in the video, the sledgehammer and 4x4 is a ridiculous method to use for more than a few. One thing that I learned is that it is impossible to have the faces of the anchors end perfectly in line with the fence line after driving them. Many twisted a few degrees on the way in or deviated in some way. I was able to use a big clamp and turn them and overall the fence was straight as an arrow. One big problem I've had over the years is that, since the back line of my yard is the lowest point, that's where all of the water ends up and the anchors sunk 2-4 inches into the ground over about 1/2 the length of the fence so my perfect 6 foot 2 fence height, with a 2 inch space below the pickets is now on the ground. I haven't tried to fix it yet, but I had someone crash their car through 2 of my panels a week ago, taking out one post completely, so I was researching an alternative method to set that post. That post anchor just bent over, so I may be able to reuse it, possibly by driving in some metal spikes to keep it upright. I'm going to detach my panels and attempt to re-level them with my slope and hopefully I won't need to replace too many of the pickets, and hopefully the post anchors are finished sinking. 🤞

Where is the link to purchase the oz post?

I learned a long time ago, by having many pairs of shoes, whether it’s dress shoes or sneakers, my shoes seldom wear out bc o rotate the shoes and not wear the same shoes and wear down. Unless they are work shoes that I don’t care of them and only wear for work

They are a handsome, high quality shoe, but they just don't work for my foot. Every pair I'vez tries were too tight across the top of my foot

Any updates ????

How long was shipping ?

Why are peoplee complaining about creasing on leather shoes? I just don't get it. Th only shoes that don't crease are made of vinyle you can get from Walmart. Why not give those a try?

any advice on the sizing? I wear us8 in most sneakers and US7 in my only dress shoe (clark)

Thank you!

I wish you would have should us how you installed it.

How is the fence holding up?

Thank you for the video. My order is in and will receive them Monday.

As an update, I no longer live at this home. My former neighbor tells me the fence is still standing with no sag. Turns out that the actual wood has warped, so I don't recommend the untreated panels with the 5 minute fence stain. But, the Oz-Posts are still standing and I have since put in a could of mailboxes and other things using these. They work great. I still highly recommend.

How's the anchors holding up 5 years later? We're thinking about using them for a fence that we are going to build. Ours will be 4'x8' frames with 4"x4" hog fence in the middle. I figure this will also have the benefit of catching much less wind, since the wind will blow through rather than into it like a privacy fence. Thanks for the tip on the steel rod also. I'm going to try a 4x4 chunk first to see how it handles it, but we do have a steel place around here so I'll def keep them in mind if my 4x4 is splitting.

I wish this question would be answered

thank you for your review.

Nice video - we painted the oz posts br. with bronze metal look paint from Sherman Williams and it looked great.

I love your video and advice and all that you have included here!!! But, man, if you ever make another video, please slow down with the camera!!!! Trying to get a visual is short of impossible!!! LOL! Thanks!

How well would you say you were able to keep the anchors in line with the desired line of your fence? I have a whole host of these anchors right now and am having a bear of a time trying to drive them in right where they belong. I'm not sure if it's a result of the anchors themselves or my technique. Right now one of us holds the anchor and checks the post level while the other (me) works the jackhammer. Once it's in a bit and using just hands to reposition it isn't all that practical, we use the weight of the jackhammer to push and pull it where it needs to be to keep it plumb. That part works fine enough. Ensuring we're keeping the edges of the anchors nice and in line with our perimeter string line however, is proving near impossible.

Meermin 5 years later?

I know this was 5 years ago but they don't even look bad to me

How’s the quality of the shoes

Great vid. How’s it holding up?

You can still replace the welt

How was the customer service and the time to receive shoes? I’m debating between Meermin and Beckett Simenon. Is the store open in New York?

Saphir shoe cream all day long. I have the cognac double monks and dispite a long breakin period I really like them.

Hey we all gotta learn. I could see myself doing the same thing as I am new to the quality shoe world. Do you use Saphir products? I recently ordered the cognac double monks but had the wrong size and its been a bit of a hassle getting my new pair but patiently waiting. Thanks for the video!

wtf? those look great

If you add sole protectors add like 5 years of life lol also welts can be replaced

Why didn’t you put a thin rubber sole on them to protect the leather sole?!

just google Woodglut :))

How was the sizing? Im 9.5 in sneakers a 9 in dress shoes. Meermin chart suggests 8.5 What do you think?

Your local cobbler did a bad job I never recommend half sole always go with completely new sole Good video

if you want solve crease issues look at channel bespoke adict he somehow puts on clean leather surface wet towel an irons it and leather takes its shape

I had exactly the same situation. New shoes, in general, = neutral shoe cream and neutral wax only. If there is no need for pigmentation, don't go there!

3 years later???? Still sturdy?

I live in Des Moines and my wife went to UD for nursing... It's cool to see a fellow Iowan on RUclips. How is it holding up? I am looking to install a fence in the next week or so. Do you think it would work in a wet soil? I have a low spot that gets pretty wet.

Hey is your whole cuts on the elton last?? Their hiro last is so uncomfortable for me

I'm surprised the one shoe needed resoling from walking over a pebble and the second shoe seems to have a tear on the sole as well. These soles don't seem to be quality/durable soles. I don't recall ever having a tear on any shoe ever. Have other folks experienced tears on their leather soles ? What brand were the shoes? thanks!

Thanks for the review

Large pants with high end shoes

I've been investigating this brand, so your review popped up in my recommendations. Good, straight forward info.

What part of the country are you in. The comment about your double monks making a big impact on people really hit home for me as I live in Maine.

Thanks for reviewing this product and the tips. I'll be buying these for when I build my fence. Also, great job on building your fence!

How about the sizing? I'm a size 9D US in Allen Edmonds. What size should I go with Meermin?

haha, i actually paused after your intro and ordered my first pair of lace up boots :D

All shoes DO NOT crease. Shell Cordovan Leather does NOT crease and these cheap fake leather shoes I have had for 6 months did not crease. Yes they will have 1 or 2 folds but NO creasing

Can you tell me who the shoes fit? Do they run true to size? Also the width. Do they run wide? I have a slightly wide foot and the website doesn't really describe width well. Thanks!

It's just beautifl,,did u need a permit??
