I'm a weeaboo girl actually, but I already have docs and want a pair of nice black tall boots that aren't docs

Considering black suede chelsea boots to get that SEX.

is suede really that difficult to look after?

I was thinking of buying some boots to match my belt any suggestions

Hey Anons, I'm 28 and live in a tropical-ish country so on winters (14c-18c) I'm always in a variation of pic related (pls don't judge it's just a very close match heh). When it gets too humid and windy I just use a heavier jacket.
I'm a relatively short guy and have been trying to grow out of my white/black Stan Smith's as well so I was looking for a pair of boots because they seem like a great choice for me.
I'm definitely someone that prioritizes comfort over style but I don't skimp on good items either, and I'd love to hear some of your recommendations.
I'm more familiar with US brands since that's what is imported the most here and I could buy online as well.

>>14507741
Those are definitely waaaay above my budget, I regularly go for footwear like Stan Smith's so I'm looking for boots in that kind of relative price range ...if there are any.
I know I'm gonna spend a little more but not from $60 to $700 lol, I'm also a boot noob so ...

>>14507768
Do you have any particular style or shape in mind? For a tropical climate my thoughts would go to something lighter. Maybe Astorflex?

>>14507747
These are perfect
Thank you friend

Thinking about copping these R.M. Williams boots, thoughts?

>>14507782
do it if you have the money. albeit they're on the chunkier side for chelseas

You forgot to write a sperging essay like on Plebbit.

Choose your character.

>>14507854
I have them in black, Dainite sole and cap toe.
But Baker's has way more leather options though. You don't have to settle for CXL or waxed meme flesh.

>>14507778
I'm only gonna rock them on autumn/winter so it's okay, they get pretty humid and windy so they let us layer up.
I don't know boots very well but according to the op guide I like hiker boots the most, they look comfy and not too dressy.
My combo is always jacket+jeans so I think it can be pulled off? With brown and darker colored footwear (I don't ever use light colored shoes except for white stans)

how cringe/shoyu would it be to wear iron rangers around campus as a grad student?

>>14508115
The least cringe. It's a lot worse being a grown ass adult and still wearing running shoes or Vans everyday
Boots look grown up and mature

>>14508115
i started late at college and have no problem. even get compliments. but I also don't really dress up, just compared to the average college student.

>>14508123
>>14508133
do rangers still have a basedboy connotation or are they safe to wear now? I got mine before basedboys were a thing (thinking about just selling them now)

>>14508136
I don't think they ever had such a connotation among normalfags.

>>14507820
I like to suffer I guess

>>14507815
I agree

>>14508136
Literally no one outside of 4chan incel posters associates them with basedboys.
No one will think twice seeing an adult in Rangers

>>14508133
The average college student is now a zoomer and wears joggers, running shoes and graphic tees.

does Julius make decent boots/derbys? considering copping a pair of derbys from ~2006-2008 but I’m thinking I should just spend a bit more & go with Guidi instead

>>14508217
Like I said, compared to the average college student.

>>14507501
Try Grailed maybe. Or save up, they are well worth the money

>>14507768
Look up Solovair they make amazing British made boots just a bit more money than docs

>>14507815
Those look so good beat up! What model? Want the astronauts style but can’t decide on colour . I like these too though

>>14507887
Mind taking some pictures of yours? I've been eyeing the black one but I feel like they look different in every single photo of them I see.

My bf's birthday is in October and he really needs new winter boots. I don't know much about men's boot brands so I could use some suggestions. As long as they're suitable for a Finnish winter and aren't spergy """military""" boots, they should be fine

That's a weird way to spell Pakis

>>14508470
I'm pretty sure they're going to be my next boot if I end up ordering another pair this year.
I typically do one pair a year but some years I'll buy two.

Shut the fuck up . This is 4chan, not your private Boot Forum website where you can choose what gets discussed.

They're good but I can't help but feel like black just makes them look like every other black boot out there. Thanks though, it's good to get pictures of them in just a normal habitat without any special advertising effects.

>>14507496
You know how fucking stupid you sound? Maybe you should go make a Jeans General, but put

As if it matters anyway, anons can discuss Solovair, Docs or whatever the fuck they want anyway in Boots General.

4chan is 80% poor college students and neets, and you have the audacity to even say the shit you do.

If you actualy REALLY loved BOOTS, you would not care what brand anyone else wore.

How many young anons have you shit on, and turned them away from owning their first pair of Boots, because Docs and Solovair are the most basic and entry level brands you can get?

just fucking kill yourself. You don't belong here.

>>14509335
Whites are handwelted, Daytons are Goodyear welted. Both are going to be very high quality and made of good materials. It will come down to price and which look you like more.
The only comparable brands would be Viberg, which is significantly more expensive but makes an amazing looking boot, or Truman who basically rips off Viberg but is cheaper but has sketchy quality control and notoriously bad customer service. I would never give my money to Truman even if you held a gun to my head.
If it was me I'd get the Whites but Daytons are great too.

>>14507722
Buy some jungle boots. The nike sfb's look great with skinny jeans. And would be perfect for your environment

>>14508819
Yeah, it'd be great if you could post those as well. Still debating on colors.

Is it dumb to order boots online? I don't have any good stores near me so can't try shit on.

If you know your size it's fine. Or they have a good return and exchange policy in case they don't

In brown oiled smooth. Leathers like these are only available through Bakers website, but they're bulletproof and a lot tougher than CXL. Honestly they're overkill for a boot like this but I like that

Why get four of the same boot?

Any of you have cobbler horror stories?
Had to get my cap toed oxford boots resoled and had an issue with the inside lining starting to come apart at the heel so I looked up the top reviewed businesses in my area. Took it to the shop, 45 minutes and $75 later the boots had huge leather patches sewn haphazard as fuck at the lining which left uneven sloppy stitching across the back of the boot

The soling was middling but nothing horrible.

>>14508835
How much these pointy shoes make your feet appear larger?

>>14511012
They’re not the same boot.

>>14510177
Brown feels like a good choice as well, but I think those might be a bit too reddish for me. Considering pulling the trigger on this color though. I feel like not being a completely solid color all the way through like the black one helps make the details stand out.

>>14511909
If anything I'd describe the color as chocolate. But it does scuff to reveal red undertones which is awesome.
Black CXL is a tea core leather anyway, so it will scuff to reveal brown underneath.

what does it generally cost to have a pair of leather sole boots re-soled and heeled in the UK?

>>14513513
>>14513486
>paying $600 for CXL
If Im getting a pair of leathers that'll get gouged by a gentle breeze Ill just buy Thursdays for a third of the price. By the time you need to replace them (if need be) the MPs will be so horribly beaten up theyd need replacing anyway.

>>14512705
Maybe you're not from where I'm from and they're remained what they always were. But here they're in all the low end high street shops, even teenagers started wearing thenz they're a joke now. I would pay £500 for a quality pair at this point.

>>14513524
These boots cost 400 though and that's pretty normal for CXL

>>14513525
I have maybe seen one person in real life wearing brogue wingtip boots.
If I ever saw someone wearing some C&J Islays I'd go up to them and strike up a conversation about them

>>14513526
Link? Im seeing $580
Regardless its CXL which isnt a durable quality leather, $400 is still steep

>>14507854
Tbh these are hideous. The leather is way to thick and stiff. It’s like belt leather from an archaic belt-driven lathe machine

>>14513530
CXL buffs almost everything out and ages well. These aren't work boots, they don't need to survive war.

>>14513526
Where

>>14513531
Being so thick and being CXL I imagine the leather is very prone to loose grain creasing but I could be wrong

>>14513541
>>14513530
https://www.bakershoe.com/product/whites-military-police-service-boot
Okay, so it's not 400 but it's definitely not 600.
If you subscribe to their newsletter you get 10% off which saves $52. So it's like $460 actually. When Vibergs cost 700 for the same boot basically it's a no-brainer to go with Whites

>>14513530
>CXL isn't durable
Says who? It's tough as hell, easy to clean and wipe away scuffs, and it's soft so break-in is a breeze and they're comfy

>>14513531
You have absolutely no clue what you're talking about. Don't post about a boot you've never seen or worn because those who have know how ignorant you are.

>>14513542
Whites is known for having some of the best CXL clicking in the industry. I'm always on forums and places looking at pics and getting inspo and i can't really remember ever seeing someone post a pair that got loose grain.
Whites isn't Allen Edmonds or Wolverine

>>14513554
>accidentally pressed submit
They aren't AE or Wolverine who will use the shittiest parts of the hide that aren't suitable for being made into boots to save money. Their clickers know what they're doing and looking for and only use what they deem acceptable for making a boot with.
That's what sets them and brands like Vigerg, Wesco, Dayton and Nicks apart. Pay 300 for a pair of Wolverine trash and you'll get loose grain and bad creasing. Pay 500+ for one of the others and look forward to better hides being used and much less chance of loose grain.
I can post close ups of mine that show how tight the creasing is and no sign of loose grain anywhere on the boot.

recommend me some nice emo combat boots

how good are leather soles for long distance walks?

>>14514395
Yeah, they're pretty much just for casual wear. Clean em up and they'll be awesome.

>>14514447
They're comfy but not very durable.

>>14514453
is it possible to get something more durable attatched to the leather sole?

>>14514458
Absolutely. Any cobbler can add a leather top or if you want resole them with something more durable

>>14514447
What's more important than the sole is the material and quality of shank used in the boot. A shank provides support to the arch of the foot and gives the boot a solid, rigid platform. If it's a cheaper boot with a shank made of wood or plastic it won't last very long and will collapse. If it's a steel shank extended walks will provide some discomfort. Fiberglass shanks are the most expensive to include and are most comfortable, with the exception being Allen Edmonds which are manufactured with a cork bed sole levying the necessity of a shank.

>>14514526

>>14507854
Is $520 a lot for a boot or is that pretty standard?

>>14514596
This is 4chan. If something is popular it is automatically shit. Hating something poplar makes you edgy and intelligent.

See

>>14514633

>>14514727
Pretty standard for a boot worth owning. Red Wings can be had for 300+ and that's about as low as you'd want to go before the quality is shoddy. Trash like Wolvermeme costs more than that but is much worse quality.
400-600 is Alden, White's, Truman, Nicks, Dayton tier and their reputations speak for themselves, except for shitty Trumans.
700+ is entering Viberg and Wesco tier but honestly, I'd kill for a pair of Wescos, they're that good.

>>14514750
Being popular among lesbians and teenagers isn't a good thing

>>14513542
Loose grain is rare and is probably not what you think it is.

>>14514751
>google wescos
lol

>>14514758
They're most known for their firefighter, work and motorcycle boots, but their casual and fashion boots are about as good as it gets quality wise. The fact they're 100% customizable is awesome, though you pay for it

>>14514755
I know exactly what it is. Pic related looks like shit and if my boots got that I'd be pissed

>>14514751
Thanks, that's exactly what I wanted to know.

>>14513771
Thank you anon

>>14514793
Allen Edmonds, Frye, Chippewa, Wolvermeme, Thursday, etc. are all entry level stuff that is cheap but has QC issues but can be had for sub 300. I'd rather just get Red Wings and not worry about it

>>14514895
I don't even know what you're on about.
You said loose grain isn't what I think it is, so I said I did and posted a pic of what it looks like. You said the fact that I posted a stock pic somehow negates my post. I don't own boots with loose grain because I don't buy cheap boots.
You can search styleforum, r/goodyearwelt and other places with reviews and see a loose grain trend on certain brands to see how common it is versus other brands where it's rare. Wolverine is notorious for it, Alden gets it quite a bit on their Indy boots and AE gets it a lot on their Higgins Mill boots. All are known for questionable clicking to save money versus a brand like Whites which is known for having very good clicking.

just how expensive are fiberglass shanks? im thinking of having some very nice boots re-soled and i wonder if i can make them into my every day walking boots because i cant really afford a large shoe collection.

>>14514491
good to know

>>14515101
Someone is going to seethe that I'm posting this, but it's actually very informative about which brands use what kinds of shanks
https://www.reddit.com/r/malefashionadvice/comments/1692ea/types_of_shanks_used_by_different_footwear/

>>14515132
I had no idea shanks were even necessary, I though they were just needed in safety boots. I've got some golden fox boots with a rubber sole, no shank. How are my boots any worse?

>>14515132
cheers man, thats a good introduction. theres no real info on prices there though, and i dunno if googling is a good idea given ill be buying these at a brick and mortar place.

>>14515216
I have generally understood it as steel being the standard and virtually everything else just being cost cutting. Obviously it's much more than that but in general many of these brands using fiberglass and other things is the result of trying to save money by not paying for steel.
Now, a better question is do they serve their purpose? I have heard of wood shanks and fiberglass breaking breaking. Some shanks have a tendency to shift within the shoe/boot and that's why many brands use cork to fill that space so it has nowhere to move.
Shanks moving or breaking isn't very common, so I wouldn't worry about that, and as long as they're supporting the foot correctly like they're supposed to do, material shouldn't be too much of an issue.
I have two pairs with steel shanks, two pair with leather shanks (which is a thing, especially on firefighting boots) and two pair with no shank. I haven't had any issues with any.

>>14515239
i mean, my thing is ive got a pair of old but quite pricey boots im gonna need to have re-soled. im just wondering what i can do to make em as useful for day to day use as possible. i wouldnt mind doing some long distance trail walking, if they can be made fit for that then id be quite happy to spend a little extra on that, but not fruitlessly and not if its gonna cost an obscene amount of money relative to what a reasonable quality dedicated pair of hiking boots would cost.

>>14515252
If they've lasted you this long then after a resole they'll still be serviceable. The cobbler or whoever resoles them will most likely use the original shank it came with unless it's damaged in some way.
Don't worry about replacing the shank, the cobbler will use his discretion as to what the boots need.

>>14515256
theyre not mine, theyre used and of unknown brand but their origin guarentees they were almost certainly quite expensive. the soles are tattered and the heels coming apart so theyll need redoing there. the flip side is im getting them stupid cheap and id be mad not to have them, but if repairs are needed i might as well see what else i can do to make them the best day to day boots they could be.

>>14515268
In that case, get them resoled and ask for a steel shank. It's essentially the standard and you can't go wrong with it.
Post a pic of the boots here so we can see and maybe identify them.

>muh ugly brown boots
Every time that gets posted on /fa/ this is what I imagine typed it.

Opinions on timberlands? I’m thinking about getting a pair and wanted to know the consensus

Opinions on timbs? I want to buy a pair but wanted some opinions first

>>14515531
>>14515534
Um...
Anyway, they're pretty much nigger or construction worker tier. Nigs wear them because that's just what they do, and construction workers wear them because that's just what they do.
Which of those two camps do you fall under?

>>14515543
>>14515539
You're in the wrong place for that.

>>14515545
Bro I just want to know if anyone thinks these would be cute and acceptable to wear

Any fag know of some decent-ish Euro brands (excluding the UK)? Like Eastern Europe won't be importing Wolverines or Dalton's White's, etc. anytime soon, and I gotta try a shoe before buying it.

Looking for a service boot mostly, not flat and fashionable, but more rugged and weather-resistant .

>>14514331
>I own them.
Clearly.

>I know exactly how thick the leather is and how stiff it is.
Do you though? In relative terms?

>They're extremely comfortable
Well, your understanding of comfort must not be very vast, as anyone who knows leather, knows the most comfortable leather is calfskin, but this is a luxury shoe, not a "workwear" shoe. And while Workwear shoes/boots can be "luxurious", they will never be as comfy or lux as actual luxury offerings. A true high end luxury shoe/boot, is made for the sole () purpose of being as comfortable and stylish as possible, durability is simply a given.

>but you wouldn't know because you've never see or worn a pair.
I don't need to see them, thanks to higher definition pics from actual wearers (as opposed to Glitzy product pics)

>But that doesn't stop you from making posts about them as if you do
It most certainly doesn't.

>>14515890

are you OP?

>>14515936
I most assuredly am

>>14515696
I made that mistake and bought some ordered some fanner boots, now I have to sell then online.

What about these? Hight quality full grain leather, and made in Italy.

>>14515939
unfunny beta fag confirmed.

>>14515941
Look real nice, but strike me more as hiker's than as service boots, they're real thicc. Can't see the embossed logo on the side, and image search yields naught, care to give a name so I can peruse what they've on offer?

>>14515968
I forgot you said service boot. These are hikers but nice ones you can wear daily. I'm going to buy a pair.

Cringe

>>14515974
not him but oh my GOD I've been looking for boots like this for so long

>>14516130
Me too! I found them on the forbidden site. They're just the perfect compromise between built for rough conditions and nice looking. Can't wait to get them in dark brown.

anyone got any advice on beeswax? the shoes ive just got kind of merit the best i can do to take care of them, so i figure i might as well do as the army does and polish them with melted beeswax. will any old ebay beeswax do, will a mini-butane torch lighter do the trick for melting it, and should i use any special cloths?

>>14515276
i will do once i get them. cobblers says the steel shank will be just fine assuming thats what it has, and itll be £25 to have them fully repaired with a rubber sole, which is preferable where i am assuming its a good one (which it will be i imagine, this cobblers sells fucking expensive shoes and did talk a bit about the importance of quality rubber in your soles).

>>14515890

OP here. I am definitely not that faggot. Fuck him and his Reddit posts

Just ordered a pair of burgundy chrome whites. Now just have to play the shitty waiting game

>>14516819
Post pics when they come in please. Thinking of getting the same

>>14516853
Ordered them yesterday from bakers. Didn't do anything special with them so hopefully it won't be 4-6 weeks but definitely I'll post em

>>14516895

In stock boots ship almost immediately. I got my CXL boots in a week, shipped and delivered.
Where do you live? That would affect delivery time

This is what loose grain looks like. Looks like shit
>>14514770

>>14516925
kek those are Wolverine 1K's too.
Any other pics for research purposes? I think a lot of people confuse creasing with loose grain

NorCal. It shouldn't be that bad, White's operate out of Washington right?

>>14516958
Yeah they're in Washington. Assuming they're in stock, which they should be,you'll see them in a couple days

Here on some OSB boots, which are terrible boots.

What's the ideal cut of pants to wear with service boots?

>>14517153
Anything you want. Slim/straight looks good on them in my opinion

>>14516988
>>14516991
braindead retard here, what would you expect of better boots?

>>14517411
Well clicked boots made of the best parts of the hide are expected to have tight creasing. It's what you would typically associate with "normal" creasing on boots or shoes.

>>14517153
Tapered, pinrolled

>>14517495
aah

>>14517505
Check out these>>14508624
That's an example of good creasing. That's what you want to get with a pair of CXL boots.
Not >>14516991which is an example of a terribly clicked hide. The hide that made these was not suitable to be made into boots but the clicker cut it anyway

how would I go about dying brown leather boots into black ones? would submerging them in dye and leaving them there overnight work?

>>14517726
thought of maybe antiqueing those things? i bet if you put enough effort in you could make those look amazing

>>14517726
Just pay a cobbler to have it done, while he's got the boots he'll clean them, retap them if necessary and won't make a fucking mess. Be sure to specify if you want the heel stack to remain brown or sanded down and also dyed black. Afterward they'll be shined and perhaps at additional cost treated. Do your research on where you take them and if you have any special requests be vocal. They're your boots, you spent your hard earned money on them.
Just isnt worth attempting yourself.

Whats wrong with Solovair? I heard theyre good as opposed to Dr Marten

>>14517762
Read the thread. It gets posted in every single thread

hey guys what the fuck do i wear with black combat boots? im autistic as fuck and i dont know how to dress myself. my euro friend always looks /fa/ as fuck in all black but i look like a schizo wearing falling apart shoes, torn hoodie, and ketchup and cum on my pants because ive never really cared about looking presentable.

>>14517794
These make you look gay desu

>>14517794
Those boots are hideous and you'd look like you're going to shoot up a school wearing them

>>14517806
theyre not the exact same as pic related, more bulky, arch isnt as pronounced, and theyre pretty worn but yeah i can see what youre getting at. seems to be a trend for girls to wear them now which sucks balls.

>>14517818
yeah thats what im going for, people have always told me i look like one. anyways, inspo for looking like an edgy cunt or militant schizo?

Can anyone ID these Timberlands from the movie Prisoner, worn by Gyllenhaal?

Another pic for reference

>>14517840
Docs or Solovair will make you look like a cringy autistic skinhead, or a dyke, whichever you're going for

Thoughts on black suede jodhpurs?
Want to delve into a little more adventurous of a boot than my oxfords, something other than leather that'll wear well especially in the fall season. They're pretty wardrobe limiting (only black jeans) but the silhouette and seamless transition is great

>>14507496
Keeping with thread edition

>>14517884
ive seen docs done well, but i doubt anyone here who needs to ask will pull them off

I bought some Officine Creative boots.

they are buffaolo skin btw

In General is there something I should be putting on Boot leather to take care of it?

>>14517906
wax those bad boys
shine em good

>>14517906
Leather conditioner, shoe cream, shoe polish, in that order. Brush between wears, and remove dirt and debris as it accumulates. You don't need to fully clean and polish them every other wear; just keep an eye to it and if it starts to look parched and dry then a conditioning is in order. I usually wear my shoes/boots a few times new and then condition them because you never know how long they've sat on a shelf drying out.

>>14517915
what is the best boot wax?
How often should this be done.
also lol

>>14517920
>what is the best boot wax?
depends, do you want military tier mirror finish? if so, apply melted beeswax and heat the cap and heel til it forms a hard layer, with the inside padded out with wet newspaper to prevent damage from the heat like the british army does, then finger tip polish with kiwi.

if not, get a fancy high wax polish, and pay more than you would for the beeswax and kiwi.

>>14517923
You can also get a similar sheen by sprinkling drops of water on dried polish, buffing with a shammy (I use a shammy stuffed into a piece of pantyhose tube), and then continue adding layers of polish. The ol spit shine. Don't put the layers on too thick or it will flake and crack away.

>>14517926
yeah, its just a lot of work when the beeswax will give you a surface thatll need like half the coats at most. also water is a must for building up that mirror shine.

thoughts??
