Speaking of boot related FAGGOTRY...

Should I get boots with a structured or unstructured toe?

Keep tryin kid

>>13846521
>pants
you must be new here

Why do black teens keep making fun of my boots? Black girls make fun of me for lacing them up, and black guys always ask me if I couldn't afford them in wheat or black

>>13846527
neither of those things happen

>>13846522

Here bitchboy

>>13846527
Those look really bad. What were you thinking?

>>13846530
This is a Doc/Solovair free thread. Don't post that shit here.

>>13846467
Threadly reminder that if you buy Red Wings from their site they'll just randomly send you two 50% of the time.

>>13846578
>50% of the time
It happened to you once, and no one else. Stop spouting nonsense.

>>13846578
that's like 40 years worth of boots in that picture

>>13846521
id?

>>13846578
Speaking of the Willistons, how do you like them? They have Red Wings highest tier of leather.

Red wings does a 20% Black Friday sale right? I'll go to the store tomorrow and haggle for it early

>>13846604
I think they're great. They look great. The Gro-Cord outsole is great. The fiber glass shank is vastly preferable to the regular steel shanks they normally use (I have to go through metal detectors at work). I also like the whole idea of, "We're going make the best boot we can, cutting no corners, and this is it."

The only thing I'd mention is that the new last (no. 220) they use for is very small. I went UP an entire size to get a fit that worked. I highly recommend trying them on before buying. I couldn't (my store didn't have them), so I had to order them online and return them TWICE before finally getting a size that wasn't horrible.

>>13846578
these look like Beckmans done right. i really like the look.

>>13846627
>>13846629
They do look really nice. I feel almost bad that Red Wing is making all these changes to appeal to the modern audience but I get it, their bulbous toe boxes just aren't that cool unless it's for a specific aesthetic. I'm still just confused as to why RW made the Sheldon model if they already had the Merchant and then went and made the Williston which seems barely different than the Sheldon.

That being said, the Merchants are still their best looking boot. It's on the same last as the Iron Rangers and Blacksmiths but without the bump toe. They look like you could wear the hell out of them and beat them to shit and they'd just look better for it. They will be my next Red Wing boot if I could ever just stop buying White's boots instead.

How do i make stacy adams boots look good. Goose wears them but apparently they are shit so what gives

>>13846655
They're 150 dollar leather boots. You get what you pay for and in this case it's not much.

That being said, just look at Goose's fits and try to copy. Wear dark slim jeans, a tailored denim jacket and some henleys of t-shirts underneath.

>>13846464
What are the boots in your pic Anon? They're really beautiful...

>Still tempted by Beatwear....

>>13846702
Don't know. Look up the BR2048 wardrobe for Luv and find out

>>13846702
clarks desert boots

>>13846707
Oh shit, sorry. They looked like modified Oxfords, but I had no idea a woman was wearing them....lol That's the Italian in me...Thanks Anon.

>>13846713
What's wrong with you?

>>13846644
those are absolutely gorgeous

IM GOING TO THE RWD WINGS STORE TOMORROW AND BUYING MY FIRST BOOTS


AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

>>13846863
are you going for something casual or formal? i'm hoping it's the former.

>>13846875
Super casual, just some chukkas I will take good care of.

>>13846882
personally I'm not a fan of chukkas. i have a pair and the bottom of my pants font fit well over them.

>>13846527
Its not the laces that's causing the abuse

>>13846863
Which ones?

if you're a man who lives in the city and buy boots other than docs you're homosexual

>>13847100
why are docs the exception

>>13847100
>docs
This shitposting is getting way too obvious, subtlety is a virtue

>>13847029
I can't decide between a regular desert boot or the postman. I like the leather on the postman but I feel like the sole is weird so I might have a hard time resoling it down the line

>>13847100
dylan go to sleep you're drunk

>>13847135
if you're going with red wing get something nicer than the postman

>>13846527
Black people don't lace up their boots, anon. They want them to flop around like flip flops

>>13846655
the stacy adams for drive were beaten to make them look nice so you can try that

>>13847138
b-but people seem to like it in warosu, which is more than you can say for most things around here

gonna buy these if there is a sale soon

>>13847215
i don't know what you're talking about and i'm too drunk to look it up. get clarks meme boots if you want a chukka or dive balls deep into the world of red wings. i recommend the blacksmiths.

>>13847365
You have to be a paid shill. You're on every boot general saying the same shit.

Those are Kommandostore waxies. How long have it took them to get dark and why tongue is still light coloured?

Is Eastland at least TImberland-tier in terms of quality?

How would I wear these without looking like a larper?

i did good?

>>13848194
Boots this tall will defiantly look best with military-style pants, so just make sure your tops are pretty distinctly unmilitary and you should be fine. I'm wearing very similar boots right now with some vintage high waisted army pants and a tucked in white tee and it's not larpy at all. Those are beautiful though, please get them.

>>13848194
Look into getting some navy deck boots in a similar style instead. They are exactly the same but have a smooth sole instead of a waffle one so they look a little less larp when worn with military-style bottoms.

>>13847450
idk probably.

>>13847100
If you're a man who lives in the city and buys docs your a homosexual

>Get your your right fag

>>13846464
is that from some movie or is that guy stomping on some stupid vape thing??

>>13848563
I was thinking about getting them for winter, so I'd want the grip. Are they not winter boots?

Should I buy 10" boots off I'm 5'8?

wtc?

>>13849392
>plain black boots
pretty much anywhere that sells shoes

>>13849399

no these are special. they are eyelet, soft leather, fairly low profile. i need this exact pair of boots.

>>13849302
It's from Blade Runner 2049, Luv stomps on K's Joi emanator.

>>13846702

I copped a couple of months ago, highly recommend. Definitely need to order a size up tho, but otherwise an amazing boot.

>>13849392
I'd also like to know id. Is there a name for this style? I'd like to get a pair like these in brown

How much is the most expensive pair of boots you own? What brand?

>>13849945
£175 solovair (I paid £155 though)

>>13849330
Depends on where you live. It only gets as low as about 30 degrees f where I live so mine are fine for winter, but if it gets a lot colder then that I would say they would be better for more of a fall/spring boot. Waterproofing is usually great, but unpadded leather can only do so much in the cold. Either way, you should buy some combat boots in this style though. super comfortable and versatile while still being attractive.

>>13849945
Vintage addison navy deck boots for $17. Go for about 150 new, but got them at a garage sale. Pretty much ideal combat boot imo.

Thoughts on my new boots? Super comfy.

>>13849723

What do you guys think of Johndoe? http://www.johndoeshoes.com/
Looks pretty cheap and I like made to order model.

>>13850152
wear them a lot?

if you mean intentionally distressing them I guess rub them with sand and splash them with water and leave them in the sun for a while

So Solovair are forbidden to talk about, but I still wanna combat boots for below $300

Help

>>13850173
Real deal milsurp or Corcorans.

>>13850163
Thank you

Nice or shit taste?

>>13850243
OK, looks like your average fast fashion boot.

>>13850071
Nice and what brand? I'd be interested in the same thing except in black

Full top boots destroy your knees

Midtops or go home

>>13849404
>buy boots
>wear them
anything that isn't red wing tier will develop that sort of profile over time

>>13848556
>>13848194
You can also wear them with normal pants and just not tuck the pants into them. I wear similar boots with jeans sometimes.

What size of Timbs should I get?

My old pair got really loose after a few years - I got a size 8.5 since that's the size that fits me for converse.

What size should I get so that the boot would last longer for me?

I own a pair of 8" danner Acadia for work. They took awhile to break in. I don't think I can wear them outside of work unless I go hiking or something

>>13849723
I thought lucchese was made in America, is bootmaker the Mexican cheap brand?

>>13846472
are you on toilet
(with no pants?)

So I pulled the trigger on postman chukkas. Very very nice and I like them a lot.

I'm reading the OP on shoe maintenance, but it isn't clear if I should use shoe trees with these? I know these are going to crease no matter what but I'm fine with that.

>>13850732
All leather shoes should have shoe trees. They vastly increase the life span of the shoe

>>13850732
They'll crease, as you say, and you can't stop that but >>13850736
Don't wear them every day either; rotate.
Never the same pair withing 24hrs and your shoes will last longer and coupled with ceder trees your shoes will never ever smell (unless you have really rank sweat and maybe a medical condition).
Needless to say, never the same pair of socks two days in a row.

>>13850736
>>13850739
got it thanks

What should I do with pants when wearing combat boots?
I've got same kicks as this gentleman >>13846521 and want to show the buckle. Tucking doen't look good on every pant, cuffing maybe?

How much do you “mother” your boots?

I have some Wolverine 1k boots that I got last year and the soles are wearing a little. I know they’re classed as “work boots”, but should they be treated more like a dress shoe in the sense that they’re meant to be cleaned, moisturised and in good shape?

I wipe them down, put shoe trees in and you’d think they were worth £1m. Am I overthinking it? I obviously want them to last but since they’re built to take a beating should I worry?

I was considering getting a rubber sole added but wondered if it would ruin the look.

>>13850909
Depends on the boot. Some need a little, some need a lot (shell for example is more hassle than it's worth IMO)

>I know they’re classed as “work boots”
They've got leather soles. NO real workboot has leather soles in this day and age. They are absolutely 100% dressy boots; the style might be "work boot" but they are not in fact ever designed for any kind of work besides walking around.
>but since they’re built to take a beating should I worry?
A boot made to take a beating is tough but ultimately disposable; like all those army boots and boots worn by actual proles for hard manual labor. Your 1k's aren't the same, disposability wise.

They're made with leather soles (that are neither doubled nor oak-bark tanned), and have some grade of chromexcel as an upper leather which isn't tough enough for real work boots but not a formal boot leather type either.

So treat them nicely, as you say, like any decent footwear: conditioning when needed (and only when needed: too many fags these days over fucking do it because they see other morons doing it online), trees after use and rotate etc.

Difference with boots like 1k's and actual formal footwear (that's "babied" normally) is that you can let the 1k's get scuffed up, beat up a little (or a lot) and they'll look better than say a pair of black capped oxfords you'd normally want immaculate when paired with a suit.

On topies:
Thing is, goodyearwelt footwear only has so many resoles before the thing's fucked.
Maybe if you had access to some kind of mythic, godly cobbler that's long since become extinct in most of the world you could go all out with resoles, but since you probably don't have that I say get the sole protectors.
Or, depending on your wear pattern, toe taps.
Leather soles wear out 10x faster when wet, and with winter approaching I'd say get them, but done well from a decent cobbler (hard to find these days ffs).
Topies, when done well, shouldn't be seen anyways so I dunno how it'd "ruin the look".

>>13850909
Saphir leather cream and wax buffing every six weeks of wear, roughly. Shoe trees always in when not in use. I take great care in not scuffing them. I have a pair of boots that I've worn 4 years now and they barely look a week old.

Just ordered

Good things it's through Amazon so you can return them for free.
What hideous boots, i wanna throw up

what should i buy for first time boot buyer, i dont know what to look for or what i even want desu, im willing to spend up to 200$ Whats an all around good boot to buy thats comfortable to wear and goes with a lot of things?

>>13851132
If you only got $200 probably try either TRASK or THURSDAY boots.

>>13851136
what should a normal price range be? Im willing to spend more but my experience with shoewear has always been it falls apart after heavy use.

Hello! I'm European and want to get boots for the winter. What brands should I look for? Thanks in advance.

How do i develop taste and recognize what boots look good?

Boots will fall apart too.

But you can repair them.

Ideally, I'd look to buy shoes from a company than does repairs (e.g., Red Wings or Allen Edmonds).

>>13851124
Says fag who wears skinny jeans

can anyone id the brand of these boots / the style from any other brand?

>>13851142
You can find red wings on sale for ~250 USD, if you are lucky and you love in the US. It's the most basic reliable, brand there is.

I don't actually wear them that often, mainly because the leather sole is so slippery I feel like I'm going to die when I walk.

no ann d boots / dior navigators in this chat baka

>>13847411
Thanks, but I'm interested in the zips - the heel height as well as the lower top.

Also, I have no idea what size I'd be, so I don't want to take the risk until I talk with them about it. Good luck in the sale though.

Why are you selling? Quality not good? Fit not good? etc? I'm curious if there's anything bad I should know about the product in general...because honestly the pics they have make the boots look fucking gorgeous...

>>13848217
>Winter
Might get a bit cold

>>13850983
>>13851032

Thanks very much. Given my general style a bit of wear isn’t something I’m bothered about. If I’m going somewhere that requires dressier clothes I won’t be wearing boots.

I get that they’re primarily a dress shoe, but they’re certainly more rugged than a delicate oxford.

I’m guessing a good cobbler will probably require a trip in to London. My concern about ruining the look is more to do with the silhouette because I’ve seen some bad jobs where it doesn’t sit as it should and just looks awful. I don’t wear them too often, and only in the cooler months so maybe once a week for six months, if that. I just planned on wearing them more because my eight year old pair of Clarks Desert Boots finally became unwearable and thought I’d wear my 1k rather than buy new shoes.

Cop or not

How do they fit? I have pretty wide, flat feet, will they fuck up my shit or not?

No those are rubber soles. The most common you'll see are Dainite. Some people think they're less fashionable, but they have tons more durability.

>>13853955
No, you get the resoled when the original sole is worn down.

Depends where about in New York you are located now all the big dogs live up state so if you're up there then go at least 2 sizes up but other than that you should base it on your housing situation the more you pay on your living situation tthe smaller the size you should buy the price of living correlates directly to timb size

They are near impossible to find, sadly, as they were only issued to be worn on Navy flight decks.

Milsurp navy deck boots are your friend. Look great, are practical, and fill a beautiful niche between combat and sophistication. Look online for some addisons, they are my daily and the pair I have have been worn regularly for a decade and still look new when polished.

>zipper

>>13854357
That's generally done with "fine" footwear when the manufacturer puts a commando or more heavily lugged than usual (for its style) sole put on.
Commando soles are thick, and puncturing through it to get it welted isn't necessary (and may not be possible for some manufacturers) and kinda defeats the purpose of a more rugged sole that's supposed to see a lot of wear and be easily replaced. Might depend on the brand and thickness of sole though. I've got a pair of alden indy's with a really chunky commando sole and there's no stitch through, and some others aldens with a sorta half-assed commando half-sole thing where it is stitched through.

Rubber soles are hard to stitch through, particularly for more old-school (and I mean real old school) type makers like Vass (who are literally hand welted; none of this new age good year welt nonsense).

It was hard for their craftsman to welt through the dainite though now I think they've got a way to do it. I think they did some really funny shit at first too, like trying to hide the stitch under a flap of rubber like they normally do with their leather soles.

Thoughts on the new Palladium baggies? Theyre warm and withstand weather this time. I love the baggy, but i need winter boots so these seem perfect, and they're cheaper than good leather boots.

heels will give you some extra height, but make sure they are lower cut so they don't swallow your legs. for turbos go timbs or something else normie.

Nice. I use my boots to bash nerds and stomp their vape too.

>>13853676
show legs

>>13855922
Get some polish and these will be beautiful. Personally, I would lose the zipper on these unless you usually dress really punk, but otherwise great.

>>13856180
Where are you seeing these? I can't find them on their site.

Looks too chunky for a civilian clothing, even compared to austrian memes, imo.
But depends on your taste of course, and they look warm and comfy.

Going into my local electricians union and i need work boots but i dont want the usual timbs or shitty Walmart steel toes that tradesmen usually wear. Anyone know of any good quality boots that fit like shia's (pic related) but also wont torment my feet throughout a day of work.

>>13846521
jesus what the fuck is wrong with your calves

>>13855922
Those are great. Are they a fashion brand or some really cool milsurp?
If the latter w2c?

have a pair of slp lukas w a harness and ann d heeled boots from 16 i think. want a pair of good combat but im not too impressed by whats new currently and secondhand sites are usually like eu43/44 and im a 38/39

>>13857028
Join addison navy deck boot gang. Not as combat-y as most, but still clearly a combat. Super functional for city/indoor wear.

>>13857023
no fucking palladiums please
thank you

mmm from some quick internet searching i cant find any in my size

i really like dior navis, and rick shark leather combats.
was looking at some slp combats, but i dont know if i really want more slp shoes

as i stomp around i live in constant fear that my feet look too big

what kinda boots should i get bros

>>13857023

I want a pair of jackboots. Where can I get the best bang for my buck?

>>13846464
got these red wing harvesters for 250.

Did I dun goofed?
Also it's smarter to get them really snug fitting instead of with more room as the leather expands right?

>>13857024

>>13857908
They look great. I'm not a fan of boots over 6 inches but they look great regardless

>>13857908

I personally don't buy boots tight as I like to be able to layer socks.
You can have boots stretched a little by a cobbler or diy.

>>13855926
Side zips to circumvent lacing is bad zip
Functional zips are okay on boots

>>13855922
Look nice man, id? Look like a nice halfway between meme boots and German helicopter pilot boots

What`s your opinion on Panama Jack?
I would love to get some Chippewas, but American brands are hard to get and/or overpriced in my country.
I need a boot that both goes well with jeans indoors (and won`t be too hot) and will serve well for city walks in a mild (about -10) winter with plenty of mud and salt.

>>13857023
Take a look at belleville maintainers, i have the 680st and they're solid, A1 customer service too.

He has some. You probably aren't used to looking at a leg of an adult male when you see yours.

>>13857973
That must be an early run of those boots. They don't have prominent tongue now.

Workin hard or hardly workin am i right fellas

>interested in boots but poorfag student
>even Red Wings is expensive for me
What do you fellow poorfags go for? Should I bite the bullet and go with faux-leather?

>>13858597
>even Red Wing
But they are not the cheapest even in the "Goodyear welted work boots" category.
Well, when i was a poor student, i would just buy 25-50$ army boots. Tough, but real leather. They are ugly, but waterproof and can be used most of the year depending on weather. Lived for 2 seasons, generally.
For more fashionable boots i would just try to look for sales. In my experience, the look of faux-leather turns to shit in an instant.

>>13858568
This is rape

tfw new boots

my feet /fa/
my virgin feet

How do I wear these without looking like an autist

>>13858597
>>even Red Wings

Dude, most people wear shoes that cost $100 below

Most of my friends (students) walk around in sneakers, despite in winter. Not because they dislike boots, but because good leather boots are expensive.

>>13858454
Huh, how does tongue looks now?
Mine also doesn't change color when wet

>>13856132
Good post.

>>13858568

What is going on here?

>>13849945
RM Chelseas, $545, but didn't actually pay for them

>>13851603
W2c?

>>13856203

>>13858856
too late

Is the obsessive mirror polish guide in the sticky actually the right way to do things?

Is Chromexcel the biggest meme in the whole boot world?
I have one pair of boots with it and will never get it ever again

>>13860332
Yup

But just wait until people realize that full grain bison leather is objectively the best material, both functionally and fashionably.

Gonna order Iron Rangers tonight. Should I get Black or Amber?

>>13860565
Black.

>>13860565
Amber. Goes with everything. I love mine

>>13860565
Black

>>13860590
>>13860569
Black is black and doesn't patina or look better with age. It just stays black. And black only goes with certain colors and things, brown is way more versatile.

>>13860628
UGLY BROWN BOOTS

Black is better looking than any patina by default.

>>13860629
t. Never owned brown boots so is talking out his ass

>>13856203
>vape
thats why waifu, asshole

>>13856203
That's not a vape though. That's pic related, his waifu being crushed.

>>13857886
Barbour do a moleskine pant that has a similar texture iirc

>>13860674
I LOVE Y...

>>13860628
but it does patina

>tfw fucking 12 1/2 13's size foot, wide, flat footed
>shopping for shoes and especially boots is a fucking nightmare
>most "leather" boots are also fake shit leather that looks awful

>>13860861
Most of the well known brands have amazing leather. If your leather looks like shit you're buying the wrong brands.

>>13860789
I cried when she died

>>13860927
Or shopping in junk stores

>>13860948
I was in a mall and walked by Buckle and saw all these boots in the window on display and they were all plastic looking leather, cemented construction garbage.

They're shit boots too, from a former soldier's perspective.
Mine didn't even last a two week field training exercise before the heel started coming off. I had to throw mine out.

>>13851607
Wow what awful pants to wear with those
