If by meme shows you mean they're easily recognized by people on the internet, then yes they're meme shoes.

>>11127607

What is the make?

Need boots like pic related John varvatos boots.
only qualification is that they need to be leather bottoms. None of that gum soles nigger timbs boot look.

you're aware of that leather soles on a winter boot is incredibly stupid right

>>11128424
I live in California what the fuck is a winter boot. Go back to New York or Chicago you inner city piece of shit.

>>11128458
Thanks senpai I'll keep an eye for my size on that site.

I'm having a bit of trouble tracking down a specific pair of boots. They're called Red Pepper but the only ones I can track down are pre-owned pairs that aren't even my size.
Any other suggestions of where to look? Google isn't being very helpful.

>>11128495
they look like fetish boots.
if that isnt the image you're comfortable showing off, don't get them.

>>11128612
I know they're fetish looking boots.
I wouldn't have asked where to buy them if I was thinking "Oh gee, I sure do hope I can wear these to the annual Presbytarian Chaperone Social".

>>11128629
do you have some kind of bondage outfit in mind? i'd like to see it

>>11128633
I've already got most of it.
It's just your simple latex and buckles affair with some good looking garters for that added covering that makes things even more interesting.
I can post it but only if you can track down a place to grab those boots for me.

>>11128588
>plain sole boots
for what purpose
ofc they look good, but

>>11128648
that sounds neat, all the more so if it's not just for some sexual experience you're planning

i can't help you with the boots, hopefully someone else can

maybe you can check with /cgl/ as well, this seems like something that might fall in the realm of costumes

Been thinking of getting my RW moc toed boots resoled cuz I don't like the wedge sole
What should I go with? Lug soles or Dainite soles

>>11128667
thanks anyway.

>>11128673
lug sole looks more rugged if that's what you're going for

>>11127607
>>11127322
w2c

>>11128693
Yeah it does and it makes the boots more functional but not a huge fan of the added weight

Apparently Vibram makes a super rugged lug sole designed for firefighters' boots. If I can find a shop that can get ahold of those then I might be swayed

Has anybody ever dealt with Danner's boot repair service cuz I got a heavily worn pair of insulated Mountain Pass boots for like 5 bucks on eBay and would love to get them fixed up. Heel caps are blown out and the soles are worn down to nothing but the patina is perfect

>>11128485
thanks mate.
So i'd suppose not something one could get ready-to-wear...

does anybody know somewhere good to get boot shoe trees?
need some for RMWilliams.

>>11128883
go to rm williams store if you can, they should be able to get you some

>>11128491
DNC any shoes from John Varvatos diffusion line.
The quality on them is awful. I owned that exact pair you posted and after two months the sole came unglued and one heel started to separate.

Any thoughts and experieces on Sagara Indonesia?

Will be flying to Indonesia soon, so might pick some up there. Not fixed on the design yet.

Well I pulled the trigger on the Corcorans despite the recent Negative reviews. I attribute them to retards not knowing you have to wear a boot and break it in.

Im still breaking them in. But so far I absolutely love them. These are the side zip fields so they have the lug sole and side zipper. Debating getting a second pair of the jump boots.
The size I got was too big, returned them and got a half size smaller. I put em on and thought they were much better and started wearing them, figured out a few days later I shoulda sized down another half for sure. So if you go with Corcorans Id say go a whole size down from what you wear in normal shoes.

Shit picture related

>>11129251
If they were chromexcel you wouldn't have to break them in

>>11129251
looks alright, got any pictures wearing them?
where did you buy from?

>>11129251

>you have to wear a boot and break it in

while that is somewhat true for most leather footwear, it doesn't mean that there aren't grades of quality in leather footwear.

and i can basically tell just from that picture that the leather on those is crappy coated corrected grain nonsense.

and hey, with years of wear and upkeep, even crappy corrected grain can look okayish and feel soft. but that doesn't mean it's high quality leather. it just means they made the sheets of corrected grain thick enough to not wear down instantly.

when you actually handle some vachetta or some full-grain calf you'll know the difference. but not everything needs to be made from soft supple high quality leathers. for instance combat boots do not need to be made from lux materials. so i'm not 'knocking' your purchase per se, it's fine that combat boots made from cheap materials exist. but just know what they are and know what they aren't and don't misrepresent them as something they're not.

>>11129393
Nice post. Are there any indications of what kind of leather is used based on a picture of a shoe or boot, or do you have to handle it in person or have it told to you to know?

My favorite boots

does anyone have any suggestions for a first time boot owner? any help or feed back is greatly appreciated.

>>11129480
Any restrictions? Price, geographical availability, materials, etc.

>>11129492
i live in New England, so something more durable would be awesome, and if i could spend like $400 or less that would be awesome, but i can spend more time if needed. And ill try pretty much any material. im open to pretty much anything

>>11129503
The boots you quoted are chesleas. Lots of brands make chelseas and jodphurs (similar style of boot, OP is a jodphur).

200-250:
Jack Erwin (free shipping, free return within two weeks and within reasonable wear)
Meermin (longer time for delivery, returning is a hassle)
Story Et Fall (longer time for delivery, returning is a hassle)

400-500:
Carmina
RM Williams

>>11129522
thank you so much. this was exactly what I needed

>>11128661
what do you mean?
they're just leather soles
many boots come with such soles
you put toppers on them if you want

>>11129431

>Are there any indications of what kind of leather is used based on a picture of a shoe or boot

yes. the texture of the leather and the way it holds its shape are big indicators. also how it shines (or doesn't) or holds its dye.

handling different leathers in person can give you the queues and reference points you would need to start making judgments from photographs.

>>11129707

by "queues" i definitely meant "cues"

>>11129393
Id argue that for most footwear its not relevant anymore. Every pair of sneakers Ive owned didnt need to be broken in. Even most tactical boots for work and such that had other materials on the body. I was moreover specifically referring to leather boots. By the way, these arent soft. At least yet. And I work with saddles/belts/cowboy boots all the time I know what good leather is.

These impressed me because many reviews had stated they were shit leather because they were uncomfortable (hence my comment about breaking in)and mentioned the soles being cheaply attached but I can attest to the opposite.
>>11129268
I bought from shoeline. I decided to steer from amazon in a suspicion of possible fakes being distributed by sellers through amazon. No pics of me wearing them yet but I plan to take a few down the road when I get my camera back from my friendo.
>>11129707
Just FYI the leather isn't bent by sagging or lack of holding its shape. Its stifly held in those creases from me breaking them in.
Honestly I think the side zip kinda messes with how they shape at least on the insides of the calves. Ill test this theory with a pair of jump boots in the future.

>bought rm williams chelseas

>>11127978

saw them irl on a chubby monk looking dude. maybe he didnt do justice, but if anything it looks nicer off feet, in a store, on a podem, never to be worn EVER, than on feet.

>>11128384

pretty sure calf

>>11129764

My friend is significantly smaller than me, his grandpa gave them to him, he was like you interested, i tried them on and thought it made me look gay.
very silly mistake, they awere like 7-8/10 condition too.

>>11129760
yeah i got $250 seconds too, still never worn them out cause they look too big on me imo

>>11129782

from what I remember they fit me nicely, but it'll suck a lot if that happens !! :/

>>11129925
i actually have no idea how jodphurs function to take them on and off
when you unbuckle them, how much mobility does the front flap have?

>>11129930
Never had to undo the buckle since the frontflap is really mobile, but still fits snug when you put em on. Well worth the money since they are extremly comfortable

Daily boots.
Look very worn because they have been in almost daily use for several years. Like the personality they get with age.

>>11131229
damn, have you conditioned these, ever? shit's cracking at places

>>11131229
Second pair.
>Rockport
Quite solid. Had to change the laces after they ripped.

>>11131237
The cracks were there when I bought them new. A somewhat snakelike texture.
Yes I have conditioned them and sprayed them relatively regularly.

Just fuck my shit up
$40 timberlands with paracord laces

>>11128898
Those are my actual boots.
I was looking for other boots like it that have leather soles.
I have worn those boots about 3 times a week for the last 2 years. Wtf are you talking about glued soles? Mine are sewn through

>>11131229
brand?

>>11131575
I wish I could tell you. But there is nothing on the inside telling me the brand. I removed the sole which originally had the brand on it.
If I remember correctly it was an Italian brand:
>B....(smth)...
>Made in Italy

>>11131478

>>11131783
They are good, but what's the point. A season of harsh weather, in snow and slush - I said goodbye to them.

>>11127818

that's the chelsea/jodphur aesthetic, they're supposed to look sleek. there are some more clunky ones that look pretty bad in my opinion, like blunderstones

>>11132024
What is the make?
Very nice aging

I tend to prefer wood soled boots to regular trainers, because they last longer for me.
I have a weird way of walking which deteriorates the back of the sole extremely over time...this makes investing in high end footwear kind of difficult.

Is there any way to improve this?

>>11131610

bugatchi and botega venetta come to mind

>>11132214
That's after 3 years? Of consistent wear? I usually have to resole stuff every few years if I wear them all the time. Next time you get the heel done, see if you can get some Cat's Paw heels or guards. Supposedly they'll help with wear on the heel. But with your wear pattern, it might not be enough. I found a specific lug sole from Vibram wears slowly, compared to nearly anything else I've worn, and have it on my winter boots. Not always an option, depending on the aesthetic, but perhaps the compound is used to similar effect in other soles.

This collage is a few years old, I don't wear half of them anymore. Also have new ones I haven't been bothered to photograph.

What are a good pair of boots that will help me look less like a manlet and are ok to wear in the summer?

please and thank

>>11132466
No, definitely not a well known brand. I got them for cheap at some wear house sale, liked them and took them.

>>11132495
These shoes were very cheap, so I didn't find them worth resoling.
>How much do you usually pay for a resole?

>>11132515
No reason to use insults now is there?
I was once told by an orthopaedic doctor that bone structure plays an important role in walking techniques. Some people would need knee operations to fix it.

Walking like that feels very unnatural.

>>11132544
Depends on your style, man.

>>11132549
Different fag but a resole will be between 100 and 250 bucks depending on what you're looking for and what boots you're starting with

>>11132551

Something black, and okay to wear with jeans instead of slacks

>>11132056
viberg service boot.

>>11132557
So you wear tees and jeans mostly? Laceless boots (pecos boots, for example) might work.

>>11132549
For a full resole, it can depend. I've been quoted $60 - $130 (CAD), depending on where I've gone/the type of resole needed. Heel resoles are cheaper, but I've only ever had to replace the cap, not a full heel. $20 for that, maybe $30 if you don't know the cobbler/want something out of the ordinary.

Have these but feel weird wearing them. They feel stiff. Do they get comfier with wear? Mine were unused.

>>11132848
If yours were unused they likely were not broken in. Keep wearing them and breaking them in. Cleaning and conditioning them will help with softening them up but I wouldn't do that right away

>>11132791
nig, what?

>>11129926

I wanted to buy this one but there was no way I could combine this color with any of my clothes

>>11133478
can you take a picture with the buckles undone, i want to see what these look like and how far the flap moves

right now my conception of jodphurs is that the front flap is similar to the tongue of a sneaker

>i've got some bad news for you about boots and shoes...

it's almost entirely due to the shell cordovan.

I'm a US 10 in Converse, 10.5 in Vans and I'm looking to buy some Story Et Fall chelsea boots. My foot is about medium width.

The Converse fit a little long on me but if I sized any smaller on them they'd start to squish my toes inwards, which is no-go for me.

Anyone know what size I should order for the Story Et Fall chelseas? Would EU 43 be ok, or should I get EU 42.5?

Can anyone confirm on what the sizing on doc marten 1461 are like.

yea theyre pretty cheap but best i can get for price range here

>>11128904
Their RTW stock seems fairly limited on any given day since they focus more on bespoke. Very nice and well reputed tho amongst the local denimbros and anyone generally interested in clothing. Their old reviews on reddit doesn't really reflect their current practices

>>11132848
Mine were also unused. It took about a week to break in (didn't condition until later, like >>11132945 mentioned), but now, they're incredibly comfy, yet supportive.

>>11128896
RMW stopped selling and recommending shoe trees over 5 years ago (due to budget cuts)

>>11128883
boot trees aren't good for rm's
just get shoe trees
cheaper and will do well enough
boot trees are (at least the ones you would want to pay for) are optimised for american cowboy type boots
not ankle boots

depending where you are, you could go to the sierra trading post and order a bunch of ceder shoe tree 2nds
they are great for shape retention and the cedar does wonders in keeping the boots smelling fresh providing you have a proper rotation going
i've had them sent from STP to a couple of different countries so unless you're in iraq or some shit they should deliver
(only worth it if you need to buy in bulk, and if STP has any in stock at the moment)

do you guys use shoe trees for boots? i have some spring loaded trees like these for my chelseas. i've just been pushing them in so the toe box is relatively expanded but i'm not pushing the heel part all the way down until its taut because i'm afraid it will stretch out the heel. are shoe trees ineffective unless they're completely tensed against the shoe from heel to toe?

and for anyone who wants to buy cedar shoe trees, check nordstrom rack, they go for 12-15 dollars

>>11137163
unless they're custom made for the shoe, they're pretty pointless. I used to be strict about using them for my boots but got lazy and stopped a few years back, no difference

>>11135089

>>11135089
Sub 100 really isn't going to get you anything worthwhile. You'll just end up wishing you had bought something else three months down the line. If it's possible, try to save up to 200-300 dollars for something decent.

I've been looking for boots like this for years. I'm convinced the closest you could get for under 500 were the Allsaints military boots which are no longer sold. I have the Demise boots but the big strap gives them a different and more difficult to pull off aesthetic.

Steve Madden has something like it for cheaper but they're much less rugged and kind of girly looking.

Good luck.

Where do i buy combat boots? I've looked at a few military surplus stores and all their boots have these bulbous toeboxes and are uncomfortable to wear. The leather is so stiff I don't see them ever getting comfortable no matter how much they're broken in

i could never understand the shell shoes fad with certain menswear forums
non-micro creases like on calf, low maintenance? but then you have inelegant thick plastic-looking uppers

shell cordovan aside, good leather rarely creases be it on boots or captoe or wholecut
also there's some weird thing going on with the welt stitches in the photos
look like they're carmina range

>carmina shell cordovan

are op swede?

>>11145656
>good leather rarely creases be it on boots or captoe or wholecut
that's wrong
any leather, good or bad, may or may not crease depending on which part of the animal that leather is, the construction of the shoe on a a particular last, how well the shoe fits to your foot, your gait, etc.

>>11145693
>how well the shoe fits to your foot, your gait
ok, but one factor at a time please?

>any leather, good or bad, may or may not crease depending on which part of the animal that leather is
which is what i specifically meant by 'good leather'
jlp's leather, which is wastefully cut from a whole hide, is not the same as say meermin's, even though both supposedly source from the same tannery?

by 'rarely crease' i meant crease less, obviously a 15 yo pair of even superlative leather don't look top shape like when it's first bought

they're not

can you post an outfit

I've been trying to find a pair of boots that can be worn casually, but also worn in an office and stand up to rainstorms under 100. So far it looks like there's only the Eastland High Fidelity, are there other I missed?

Whats a good pair of Chelsea boots in black for 100-200?

>>11148467
>>11129522

what do you think about my chelsea boots ?

>>11129522
Saint crispins and Gaziano & Girling are recommended.

>>11140265
Neither look very good at all.

Are the waterproof "premium" Timberlands any good? And do they really run a full size big? I'm a 13 in everything else like Superstars, etc

Thinking of buying a pair (probably the first colorway), pretty great price for Canadians.

>>11129393
>it just means they made the sheets of corrected grain thick enough to not wear down instantly.

m8 its a single peice of full grain

>>11135089
corcorans for 150

any of you ever used saddle soap to clean ur boots? I'm aboutta try and use it to clean my redwing chukkas

>>11149794
never used saddle soap before, but with any other product, use it in moderation, better to apply too little and do it a second time while cleaning than to apply too much and damage the leather

heard it's fine for tougher leather but not recommended for more expensive boots or dress shoes

Redwing

>>11128086
They are good boots.

Are clark's boots okay-ish? I literally haven't found better chelseas in my country, except ~350€ Boss ones.

>>11152197
Clarks are good, but can be uncomfortable sometimes

>>11127322
>>11127418
>>11127607
dope

Can anyone Id these for me? They're red wings, vintage I believe. And if they aren't being produced, can you point me to some similar models? I really like the sole and the shape of the tip of the boot the most.

>>11152197
loake 1880 has middle range boots, great quality

>>11128532
do you need to be tall to pull them off?

5'10 here

>>11153682
check out diemme boots

>>11153818
id say be 5'10 or taller to pull them off desu

>>11153818
you just need to have good proportions
you can be 6'4" but if your legs don't look longer than you're torso it'll look bad

>>11129934
Those pants are very queer. Extremely slim with kneepads and zippers. What is even

Opinions? First boot wanted something that is casual with slacks or jeans, typically wear boot cut pants

>>11154530
they look alright
post a picture wearing them

>>11154530
I have a similar pair of Chippewas. Dont wear them as much as I would like but theyll last forever so w/e. Good quality buy

>>11145787
Non-effay here i need to ask
What is the point of rolling up your jeans like that? Nothing against it but i dont understand especially when its done with regular shoes. Just makes them look like highwaters

>>11153682
Red Wing still produces that model in their standard line of work boots. You should be able to find it on their website.

>want to wear durable leather asskicker boots all the time
>have wide-ass wedge feet that are only comfortable in minimalist shoes and birkenstocks
>tfw no good looking resolable boots with a shape that isn't retarded
Why is life so unfair?

>>11154844
Corcoran jump boots, can get steel toe for work, Munson last and come in a range of widths

>>11154530
Brand? Dayton??

>>11154757
Same reason Joggers are a thing, to show off your footwear.

What should I be looking for in terms of boots that look good enough for a casual business environment, but are also practical enough to deal with Michigan winters (and falls and springs, since we can get ice and snow from october to april)

I have the black ones.

love them

>>11156363
You aren't really going to find any that fit both criteria acceptably. It'll lean one way or the other. The best you'll find will probably be something similar to Red Wings Beckman boots. Nice, polished leather with thin commando soles attached to stacked leather. You can probably find any number of dress boots that you like, and get a cobbler to put commando soles on them. Once you start looking for more durable leather or more practical soles they won't look appropriate for business casual. And vice-versa, of course.

Don't forget that if they're getting snow/salt/slush/rain all over them to clean and condition them constantly.

>>11128532
H&M? I picked these up a couple weeks ago. First pair of chelesea boots; like them a lot so far

>>11151928
>>11151382
Keep in mind these are not factory bought anywhere. This was some guy on reddit who resoled his IR's to a commando sole after a year of wear.

Looks so much better than the cork sole, I wish redwing would lend the commando sole to some IR models. Though they tried with the Dainite one, commando just looks so nice.

>>11156335
They look like LL bean plain toe Katahdins, maybe chippewa in cordovan. Both are chippewa, but LL bean rebrands have that warranty.

>>11128539
without a doubt, the best boot ever

Need a workboot, these are on sale for like $90 should I cop them? Any experience with textile boots?

>>11156328
I'm actually breaking in a pair right now. The heel is a little loose and the forefoot a little tight, but otherwise they're okay. Corcoran's munson last doesn't seem as roomy or anatomical as the original.

>>11156608
Forgot my picture.

>>11156363
A pair of veldtschoens would be perfect for you. They aren't a popular style anymore, but a handful of british shoemakers still produce them. The construction of the welt supposedly makes them near-waterproof.

>>11156387
Nope. If your H&M boots look anything like mine then either the quality of your boots is better than expected or the quality of mine are worse.

>>11156614
that toe cap is so bulbous it looks bad
need a picture that's not from top down, got any pics of them in an outfit?

Nope. If your H&M boots look anything like mine then either the quality of your boots is better than expected or the quality of mine is much worse.

>>11156674
i own a pair and my theory is that the toe looks bulbous because the 'point' is off center and is closer to the actual shape of a foot

>>11127322
is it alright to wear boots in the summer?

>>11157243
yes u fucking retard

>>11157243
Yes.

>>11143663
I have
c&j sydney loafers in 9E
Loake badminton in 8.5G
Alden indys in 9.5

all good fits

>>11157243

>i can't rock mink coats in the wintertime like killa cam or rock mink boots in the summertime like will.i.am

I need help finding these...

>>11157227
The toe box is also built higher/thicker than normal on purpose, to allow extra room for your toes.

w2c? found at http://www.thrashermagazine.com/articles/videos/jim-greco-s-the-way-out-video/ around 26:48

>>11128539
u-sole version is better

>>11158271
neat

>>11156674
Sorry for the shitty picture.
I'd say they're about as bulbous as a pair of Iron Rangers.

What about jeans ?
It's a simple slim black jeans.

Boots that can handle rainstorms and be worn with jeans and t shirt/collared shirt for under $150. Preferably not too bulbous toe box

>>11161826
Timberlands, maybe? I think they have some models in that price range with goretex or something similar.

>>11161258
The ones that aren't overly ornate are.

>>11133471

>>11133486

>>11133861
43 probably, but you can use the foot measurement guide. I'm 9 in Converse, 9.5 in Vans and a 42 in Story et Fall.

>>11127322
My docs
They are damaged, the sole split up from the black part
How tf do i fix them
I tried with superglues for shoes but nothing seems to work

I just copped these on Ebay for £2, thinking of dipping them in emulsion, so it all flakes off.
