What raws does everyone wear with their boots?

>>14483409
Probably the service boot. The design is based off the service boot a lot of my family members wore during the great war so it feels almost sentimental in a way.

>>14483467
Look at the OP pic. Dayton based their service boot off of the Canadian boot design of WWII and then in a deal years later they gave the last to Viberg who altered it to make their service boot. Dayton's is actually truer to the original boot. And it's in BC as well

>>14483482
Will do thanks

>>14483486
Of course it all comes down to personal preference. I'm just saying that Viberg got their last from Dayton to cried to copy the WWII boot.
Does Viberg make a better boot? Maybe, theirs are stitchdown and Dayton's are Goodyear welted, and Viberg is known for pretty immaculate (usually) QC.
Get whichever you want and post them in here for me to drool over.

Dayton let you build a MTO boot whereas with Viberg, you get what you're given.

So that can also influence your decision.

What are some good boot brands to buy in the UK? Would like something very similar to the OP picture.

Thanks

>>14483902
Dayton has so many leathers to choose from it can actually be overwhelming. I emailed them to ask for pics of some of them even because they basically have anything you can think of.
Viberg does the same 4 CXL leathers and then cordovans that you need to sell your car to afford and then sometimes a one off leather that looks cool.

>>14483940
Honestly, that style is very quintessentially North American. If you want that you're basically gonna need to import it.

Why is no Dr Marten or Solovair posting allowed
Are they meme boots or something
>t. board nomad

>>14483959
They are the most memey of all the meme boots. Ugly boots made for teenagers, wannabe neo-nazis and butch lesbians. They have that yellow or green stitching that looks tacky, that ridiculous air sole that is extremely soft and fast wearing but can't easily be resoled, and their leather is some of the worst out there, it's almost like plastic.
They're low quality, ugly as sin, and they're basically a wardrobe staple for demographics you don't want to associated with.
I would recommend literally anything else to someone looking for boots. Even at their low price it's still too much to pay for what you're getting. I wouldn't get them if they were 50 bucks at a thrift store

>>14483958
Damn... what's most similar?

What about these? (Same poster)

>>14483439

I have a pair of Daytons (service boot) that I got a few years back. I have nothing but good things to say; they make a damn fine boot, and they seem like they will last forever.

Mind you I don't wear em too much because I prefer minimal shoes, especially for summer, but I'm happy I have em.

>>14483983
I always forget that the UK has some Red Wing shops. I own two pairs of Red Wings and love them. They're not as sleek as the OP pic kinda boots, but they're solid.
I'd say go for it if you can afford a pair.

>>14483986
I can't wait until summer is over so I can start wearing boots again.
It was 100F/37C in my town today and I wanted to die just taking my dog on a walk down the street. Can't wait until I can wear my denim jacket and boots again.

Need suggestions for fabric-ish boots like picrel that are comfy for walking/hiking but aren't too /k/ommando (no Nike SFB pls)
>inb4 just buy pic related
I like the style but I don't like the toebox

>>14483968
Typing all that while your boots get ignored while low quality Docs, Solovair and Timberland will always get recognise

>>14484140
I wear Whites. They're legendary for their boots. Firefighters and loggers swear by them and they're famous for their quality.
But please tell me how your Docs are so amazing

Looking for recs on the best doc color

>>14483940
We don't make boots like the Americans unfortunately. The closest the UK has to a *heritage work boot* is William Lennon (pic related) and they're very much a matter of taste (they're incredible value for money mind you and are definitely worth supporting).

Then we have Solovair which are highly memed here and on reddit; again they are very good value for money.

But that's it. The UK has a very long lasting tradition of preppy, country and city shoes with the most famous arguably being Trickers and Loake but unfortunately, we don't have anything like Red Wing, Wolverine, Whites, Viberg, etc.

>>14484093
Danner mountain light

Not a boot, but for Red Wing Postmans, do I want to go down a half size, or go true to my regular size? I usually wear an 11.5

>>14485393
I don't have any experience with that particular model, but the general rule for Red Wings is half a size down. You should be fine with an 11

>>14484395
>>14484414
zoomers fuck off
>>14484898
infinitely better purchase

>>14485276
>Need suggestions for fabric-ish boots
thanks for trying. mountain light is alright, I won't deny, but I need something not full leather that's comfy for just walking around campus
I would wear clarks but they're s*y af at this point

>>14485673
Hiking boots are hiking boots. You will look strange stomping around campus in them regardless of material. Might as well get some good quality recraftable leather ones. IMO all leather boots look better in casual situations than fabric ones. Mountain Lights over Explorers every day.

Sierra has a bunch of Chippewa boots for cheap right now in some select sizes. Here's my pair in oxblood after a few months.

>>14485878
These are absolutely hideous

>>14485878
wow those are disgusting. Whatever you paid for them, it was too much

>>14485460
>infinitely better purchase
Thank you, Any other brands you’d recommend for semi casual shoes?

>>14486529
when are american boot/shoe/fashion websites likely to have sales this summer/fall? Is there any way to set up alerts or something to remind me if a boot goes on sale or something?

>>14486633
>Is there any way to set up alerts or something to remind me if a boot goes on sale or something?
Best way would be to subscribe to their newsletters. They'll spam your inbox every day about shit you don't care about, but when a sale happens you'll know right away

>>14485878

Imagine spending >$400 on these, and then getting absolutely rekt when you post them online. Imagine the buyer's remorse.

>>14485878
>>14486701
They look like uglier Docs, which is saying something as Docs are disgusting.

>>14486701
Literally a $100 pair of boots

>>14486766
I wouldn't spend 20 on boots that ugly. That color doesn't belong on anything that wasn't made specifically for a lesbian

>>14486773
Imagine not liking maroon

>>14486780
Maroon on plastic leather boots is a no go no matter who you are

>>14486784
Post a better looking silhouette that's both 360 Goodyear welted and full grain leather for $100

>>14486780

>muh welt
>muh full grain
Quality matters. I could go on alibaba right now and find dozens of shoes matching that description, but they would be shit just like yours

>>14486790
>faggot pink
Sounds like a color Docs would offer their dyke customers, which is probably most of their customers

>>14486793
It's the fact that they're a disgusting red color, with with white stitching that contrasts a black sole. It's like a 5 year old did a create your own boot simulator and just picked random colors. It just doesn't work and looks bad.

>>14486787
Who cares if they have a good silhouette and are full grain if they're not made well.
Thursday actually has a nice last they're made on, they're not ugly boots. But they're made as cheaply as possible, cut every corner they can and as a result they're just not great boots.
With boots you get what you pay for up to around 700 bucks. After 700 you're paying for personal preference stuff like leathers and colors, but quality wise you get a better built boot the more money you're willing to spend for it. Most Red Wing boots don't even have a midsole, the welt is stitched straight to the sole, but it's a 300 dollar boot, I'd expect that. On a pair of 400 dollar Whites I'd expect a midsole and better construction.
Who gives a shit if your 100 dollar boot looks decent, it will only last you a year and then you'll toss it.

>>14486809
But they're a $300 boot from a company with a long bootmaking history that I got at a deep discount as a beginer boot alternative to something like a red wing iron ranger or Beckman.

>>14486822
>your boots are ugly as shit
>but they were cheap!
The average consumer, ladies and gentlemen

>>14486822
Any brand that would make a boot that ugly on purpose would give me questions.
Docs makes ugly boots because they know their target demographic wants ugly boots. Chippewa should know better.

And I hate to break it to you, but Chippewa is as entry level as it gets. Their leather is pretty bad and you can read up on it and find loads of reviews of people who got loose grain and bad creasing. Also, they use foam insoles because it's cheap, but the foam doesn't last like leather does. Enjoy them anon, maybe some butch lesbian will mistake them for Docs and give you a compliment on them

>>14485878

>>14486836
>Chippewa is as entry level as it gets
I know what I was getting into that was the point in getting them, I wanted something that was cheap because I live in fucking rural Kansas were everyone wears cowboy boots and are repressed homosexuals, also there are no butch lesbians out here

*Honk Honk*

hello, bootlickers
I'm wondering what you all think of pic related boots, as I'm considering purchasing them and am new to the whole "boot" thing.
Thanks.

I need help, I want something like this.
Steel toe, hi-top, but in all black
I wanna replace my black jungle boots with something a little more generic that can be both a nice aesthetic piece and something that I can take to work

>>14485878
Anon if you actually like the color of these you got a good deal. I think the color looks like shit and chippewa is not known for qc but the quality of the stitching and the leather on that pair looks fine (i.e. as good as red wings or a non shit pair of wolverines)

Took the plunge on these boys today. Shipping is going to take forever, but it's a welcome upgrade from Clark's

Just get those and darken em.

whats the most appealing pair of black chelsea brogues youve ever seen?

>>14484898

that is a stratospheric upgrade.

What do you guys think about rough out boots? These are WWII impressions boondockers

>>14488003
Here's a dubbed pair with similar wear

What happened to the Clarks gyw chukka? I want something better than the beeswax cheapos. Will probably go for Red Wings, but the Clarks looked a bit nicer.

>>14488003
>>14488008
Never been a fan. I don't like the way they look when they're beat up a scuffed. I think smooth leather just looks nicer.
I was a soldier for 4 years so i had rough out boots the entire time and I remember how shitty they looked after a while

>>14488037
I worked on a roof and my work boots looked like shit after a year. Mostly because of goop stains and scratches, the leather itself held up. When I get new vibrams on em they should be kind of cool.

>>14488018
It was called the "desert welt" but it looks like they stopped making them

cop?

>>14488046
Not denying they're tough and last as long as you take care of them. They just don't look good after a while

Just got my Iron Rangers today I love them already they feel snug but not too tight and look so good
Is there anything I need to do to care for them before I take them outside? The lady at the store said I can just take them in every month and get them conditioned for free but I’m wondering if I should do other stuff

>>14489104
>conditioning every month
Do it yourself and only when they need it

>>14489104
Just wear them and enjoy them. They just better for it
Condition them every six months and you'll be fine

>>14489104
you dont need to do anything. buy your own conditioner and do it yourself, its like 10$ for a tin. also, look on the redwing website and look at your boots in the specific leather that you got them and then click on the care tab, that should let you know what you need to use as far as conditioner goes

>>14489193
That's what I did. I own their leather condition they sell and it's been fine

>>14483439
So for my Amber colored Iron Rangers, should i just use brown kiwi shoe polish, or some other color. Also, how would i go about keeping the matte look.

>>14489254
>polish
You don't use polish on oil tanned leather. Don't use any polishes or any of that stuff on amber harness IRs. As long as you condition only as needed and don't use too much and over saturate the leather it will keep its matte look

>>14489254
Bruh... use the suggested Red Wing product. You spent $400 on shoes, nowspend $25 on the correct product designed for the shoe. Go to red wing

What does shoe size 80/100/110 means? what systems is even that?

>>14489748
Never heard of any brand doing sizes like that. What boots are you looking at?

Venetian Shoe Cream for oiled leather? Any experiences, positive or negative, with it from anyone? Usually I use Renovateur but recently got a bottle of VSC for cheap.

Just tried on Docs for the first time and holy shit these are the cheapest pieces of shit I've ever tried on, are they even real leather? No wonder they're $25

cop?

>>14490625
zipper is a bit unnecessary but they seem nice enough

FUCK TRUMAN BOOTS!


That is all.

>>14490625
the zipper is indeed a bit goofy (imo zippers only work when they're the only way of getting your foot into the shoe - zipper + laces is excessive), but if it's your first boot and you reallllllly can't manage to save up a bit more for a better pair then it's an understandable purchase.

my advice would be to get ~$300 and find something actually nice

>>14485393
If you haven't copped yet, ignore this well meaning anon >>14485438

Unlike other RW models, Postmans are TTS

>>14487953
probably 1000 mile.

>>14490350
Avoid the Asian made Docs at all cost. Better to invest in the Made in England version if you want a pair. The construction and materials are much better.

how does /boots/ feel about leather laces?

About to buy Red Wing Sheldons, does anyone have experience with them? Are they too dressy for jeans?

>>14492011
Sheldons are probably my least favorite boot Red Wing makes, tied with the Williston.
My issue is that it's the same boot as the Merchant but it just looks like a sterile, dressy version of it, and it's 50 bucks more expensive. These are Red Wings, they're meant to get thrashed and look better as a result.
Are you going for a dressy, smarter look or do you want some shit-kicking boots? If dressy then yeah, get the Sheldons, if not, save your money and just get the Merchants.

>>14491990
The leather will start to look dry, dusty, will lose its luster. If you pay attention to your boots you'll know.

>>14491990
Leather is skin, just an animal's skin. Think of it the same way as your own human skin. When it gets dry you can feel it and you want to put some lotion or moisturizer on.
Same with your boots, when it's dry you put lotion(conditioner) on it. But don't overdo it because moisture is actually a leather killer when it doesn't need it as it can make the leather break down. Don't use too much, too often and wipe off any excess to prevent it getting built up in the leather's pores and wrecking your leather.

I wish someone would sell these.

I have some bullshit that needs help.

I'm a hobbitass footlet. US 6.5/7 Wide. I've been finding that my stupid fucking feet are considered kids sizes by every brand ever before even looking at width.

Do any brands in the $70-$200 range give the same amount of care and durability to their kids lines as their adult lines?

This applies to other nonboot shoes too, but I trust you guys more than other parts of this board.

>>14492283
>US 6.5/7 Wide. I've been finding that my stupid fucking feet are considered kids sizes by every brand ever before even looking at width.
That's 39 40 IT, you are the bottom of the scale but you still on there. If you had 36 maybe you should be beung this autistic about it, but I wouldn't worry. It's like any other size, i am a XS in most jackets. I am on the bottom rung, and I even need XXS

>>14492295
I suppose you're right, I'm probably getting a little crazy on it and need to step back.

I'm still open to suggestions if y'all have any.

>>14491635

What color of Merchants should I get if I want to be able to wear them with both indigo jeans and khakis?

Please help

>>14493102
Brown is always a safe bet.
Basically as long as they're not black you can wear them with anything. Black can be worn with black, that's all.

I would, they look like Eyty's without the chunky sole.
The traditionalists of this board will get after you though, because purple isn't very timeless classic menswear of you.

I meant the soles and laces being purple... it's kinda reddish though, so I'm not sure what it actually is.
Honestly I can't really comment on the quality of Coach footwear, but I'm assuming that at almost $400 retail it can't be that bad.... probably. Really up to you and if you like them enough to take the risk.

do you buy cheap Chinese boots if you like how they look?

>>14496460
No.
Stop buying Chinkshit. Don't buy anything made in China. In every respect it is a bad idea.
>quality sucks
>price/performance ratio sucks
>made by slaves and/or children
>shovels money into China
>keeps money out of good countries
>indirectly encourages further hordes of bug tourists who fuck everything up
The list goes on. Spend an extra shekel or two and get things made in USA, England, Germany, Japan. Support local businesses and smaller ones focused on good quality workmanship and competent, humanely treated employees. If people stopped buying made in China their economy would crash overnight and ours would boom.

>>14496467
>Support local businesses
buddy we don't all live in amerikkka
nobody makes shoes here though and it's a shame
I'd do it but there nowhere to learn and who actally has the money to go buy lasts and equipment

no ragrets though because of plan to wear them to reduce wear on my good shoes that weren't made in china

>>14496483
Then support countries that have good local businesses that care about quality control and paying workers more than a dollar a day. I buy from several countries but not shitty ones, particularly China, India, Bangladesh, El Salvador Mexico.

Sizing for the Dayton's for the right fit?Their site says "Depending on the style of boot, men will fit 1 full size down from their North American size", but I'm not seeing anything specific to the service boot. I just want to get this right on the first go, sending boots back and forth to Canada due to wrong sizing seems like a pain in the ass

>>14497662
You'd best contact and speak with them directly.

>>14497662
Dayton's are pretty crazy with their sizing. Its the only reason I haven't bought a pair yet
Definitely just call and ask and they'll have you send tracings. I'm pretty sure if the size is wrong they'll accommodate you getting it fixed.

Authoritarian capitalism is the political-economic system of our times. All will be conquered as relentlessly capital pushes forth, deterritorializing everything in it's path. Earth will be captured by a technocapital singularity as renaissance rationalitization and oceanic navigation lock into commoditization take-off. Logistically accelerating techno-economic interactivity crumbles social order in auto-sophisticating machine runaway. As markets learn to manufacture intelligence, politics modernizes, upgrades paranoia, and tries to get a grip. The body count climbs through a series of globewars. Emergent Planetary Commercium trashes the Holy Roman Empire, the Napoleonic Continental System, the Second and Third Reich, and the Soviet International, cranking-up world disorder through compressing phases. Deregulation and the state arms-race each other into cyberspace. By the time soft-engineering slithers out of its box into yours, human security is lurching into crisis. Cloning, lateral genodata transfer, transversal replication, and cyberotics, flood in amongst a relapse onto bacterial sex.

Neo-China arrives from the future.

Moral of the story: buy Chinese boots.

Why does a pair of boots make you so mad?
>>14498407
I hope you're not saying those boots are chelseas

>tfw wanna buy a pair of chelseas/cubans but dont wanna spend bands on fruit boots I might wear once

>>14498448
you can wear cubans with a casual suit, as a western look, sleazecore (not recommended), or the hedi SLP look

>>14498231
i don't really see how they look feminine or ugly. with the pants covering the top of the boot, they are almost indistinguishable from western boots, which have largely masculine cultural connotations. if you aren't riding a horse and don't need the extra leg protection, why would you go for a western boot over a chelsea boot? additionally, chelsea boots are easier to put on than service boots or other laceup boots. i could say service boots look clunky and unless your'e int the military they look try-hard and larpy. the fact that you need to lace them up to tighten them means you're spending more time getting ready which is gayer than slipping on a pair of cheslea boots. can you elaborate on your point?

>>14498464
>say service boots look clunky and unless your'e int the military they look try-hard and larpy
most are modeled on old designs so thats not really true

Cop or Not?

Or these?

>>14498472
i was being sarcastic to make a point that calling chelsea boots gay or feminine without backing it up is just as intellectually dishonest as saying you have to be a soldier in WW1 to wear service boots.

Red wing merchants or IR’s from a stylistic standpoint? Is the toecap on the IR’s really that bad?

Yes i already know theyre built on the same last. Style standpoint only.

>>14498975
The Rangers are simply a more rugged and work aesthetic boot. The toe cap on them is big, quadruple stitched and the whole boot just gives off rugged vibes.
The Merchant is sleeker, slimmer and simpler. What's your goal look? What are you using them for?
I have the IRs and love them, but plan on getting some Merchants later this year. I love my Rangers but I can see why someone would want something different. I use mine in the garage, hiking, etc.

>>14498986
>What's your goal look? What are you using them for?

I too already have IR’s but for some reason am lusting over the merchants because theyre so much sleeker. I already mostly wear my ir’s with 511’s and a tshirt of some sort and am skinny-built with buzzed hair and a beard. I guess rugged is already my sorta go-to?

I just wear them around anywhere desu. I got them because i wanted to start dressing “my age” (late 20’s) and just really like the look and am learning how to style them. Still find myself lusting over the merchants. Given my circumstances, would dropping money on merchants be worth it right now?

>>14498921
meh its really not that hard. Just throw on a blazer and trousers in matching color, and wear that out for drinks with coworkers/friends

Anyone know what boots these are? I can't find this tiny marking anywhere

y/n

>>14499115
Holy shit, what the fuck do expect us to do? It's a poorly lit, blurry pic on the back of some boots.
Is this bait? Is it a joke? Why post this shit?

>>14498975
Stylistically, I wouldn't get merchants, bc that isn't the niche of Red Wing. If you actually want a stylish less trad boot, then you need to explore other options, but the price tag will go up. Unless you just want the style, steve madden has cool styles for cheap. And they are MIP at least no china.

Where to buy some good boots in colorado?

picked up a pair of 8" brown FW18 Yuketen Maine Guides last summer and they've been great so far; found them never worn for $400 less than retail.

>>14483439
I've been looking for these Alico boots but can only find them on American sites. They're made in fucking Italy so it's retarded that's I'd have to order them from all the way across the world.

>>14483968
What makes them hard to resolve if they're welted?

I actually thought they were fake plastic leather, I have no idea how they make their leather look so cheap.

>>14486799
One day I saw a guy with a load of them trying to sell pairs outside of a circus. The clowns said they liked the price but they they just look too silly, so he didn't sell any.

should I buy shoe trees for my iron rangers?

>>14500848
I have a pair of IR’s for home and a pair of 877’s for work and just bought a couple pairs of trees today. Just putting them in for the first time and seeing the toecap fill back out instead of sagging down is such a relief. That, and my work boots get stinky from working outside so hoping the cedar will help with that as well.

What brands do combat boots, along the lines of austrian memes/slp style.

Any recommendations?

Need a pair in bigger sizes.

>>14501108
tthanks. I have a question, what is the point of buying boots if you just cover half of them with with your jeans any way

Wolverines!!!!!!!!!

>>14501626

>>14502320
Scuff your boots up more. If you cant repair it you can atleast make it into rugged aesthetic.

>>14502320
Kek find who's responsible.

You have to get it sanded and worked on professionally. Even then I don't know how good they can get it.

Probably better if you asked a shoe repairer instead of people on 4chan.

>>14502614
Do you live somewhere they came ship to or something?

Or are you one of those people who just like to talk about things?

>>14487641
Why's it going to take forever? And why are you excited about generic Chelsea boots?

>>14488417
Cheney chare way too much to have such unoriginal designs.

>>14503227
Ignore this. Just wear them, beat them up and scuff them and they'll blend in

Reminder to put spurs on your western boots even if you dont ride horses or you're gay as fuck.

How long was the break in? I've had my BHs for two weeks now; probably put in about 30-40 hours of wear and i'm still waiting for the arch to soften a bit.

Do it bro. William Lennon boots are legit, if somewhat unsubtle.

>>14504353
About a week of wearing them for a few hours each day. After a week they felt comfortable to wear for full days and then they just got more comfortable from there.
The arch on White's is different in that instead of steel or whatever it's made of extremely stuff leather. Being leather the arch too will break into your foot and form to it. It takes time but when it's broken in there isn't a boot brand on this Earth as comfortable as a pair of Whites

They're anything but. They're military style service boots

been wearin Clark DBs for years now, what is something acceptable for business casual poloshirt-tier office work yet wouldn't look out of place with jeans too?

Any thoughts on these? Timberlands folk gentleman. Currently on a sale

>>14505840
You might be right. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I dress like shit so they'd be really out of place also they're $500.

any of you guys make boots?

too warm for boots.. what a shame...

>>14507152
D*cs are the default for poor people who think they look good. It's pathetic

>>14506585
For what purpose?

>>14506160
Dress like shit how? All you need for boots is jeans and a shirt. There's not some uniform to it that says you have to spend lots of money or anything.
My boots are always the most expensive part of all my outfits

>>14507335
To wear in day to day life. I wear them with skinny jeans typically
Just casual shit pretty much, so comfortable boots would be nice

>>14507347
>comfortable

This post is bizarre. I'm not sure what to think
