>>14605750
Who /stridewise/ here? I really like his reviews and feel he does a good job of trying to stay objective

First for fuck Thursday Boot Co.

>>14605750
started to think chromexcel is a meme. It was made for bearings and machine parts, gaskets and such. So I gather the fashion is to wear them for a few months until they start to wear out, and this is what looks "good." I suppose its nice if you can never scuff your feet, but c'mon there has to be something better.

>>14605758
Based. I will never NOT talk shit on that fucking company.
https://www.stitchdown.com/brands/thursday-boots/thursday-founder-connor-wilson-interview/
Someone interviewed the owner and he just blatently fucking lied the entire time. It's disgraceful.

>>14605762
CXL is a meme that isn't a meme. It's soft, so break in is a breeze usually, it stretches nicely as well and thus makes for a very comfortable boot. My best fitting and most comfortable boots I own are made of CXL.
The issue is the high likelihood of bad creasing/loose grain and the finish coming off. Some people love the scuffs, and it's something I have accepted and embraced. Black CXL is a tea core leather and the black on brown actually looks pretty cool.
CXL isn't for everyone, but I like it. I didn't at first but now I do.

Speaking of CXL, is the guy who got the burgundy White's MPs here? How are they breaking in?

I was going to buy Iron Rangers but now that I've seen how much dressier the Willistons are I'm not sure. Can anyone who owns the latter weigh in for me?

>>14605763
>these are the faggots telling you to buy Thursday boots

>>14605750
really fucking bothers me when the side of the cut leather is not dyed. Not sure what to call it, you can see at the top of the boot, and where the 3 stitch is.

>>14605774
It depends on what you want the boots for? Dressy casual boots or something you can go hiking in and work in a garage and stomp fools with?
Check out the Merchants (the ones in the OP pic) for a nice in-between of casual and rugged.

>>14605776
Why? It's just a different dying process is all. Some leathers are dyed through and some are dyed on the tops. Depending on the kind of leather they patina and scuff in really cool ways.

>>14605775
I would call them Reddit boots but Reddit hates Thursday too.
Thursday are boots for non-boot people.

>>14605779
it just makes it look like something I can do in shop class myself. So far Im really impressed with whites, viberg, truman, and dayton. I like a few frye, but they look a label you might be paying for, idk.

>>14605791
The raw edges look awesome with rawhide laces that are also dual tone. It's very boot dependent but sometimes it looks great.
Truman is hard to like, but I like the other three. No experience with Frye yet so I can't say

>>14605777
I'm a STEMfag so I want them purely to look better than the other bugmen I'm surrounded by. For the rougher activities I've got a pair of Danner hiking boots that have yet to fail me.

also,
>those holy trips of footwear wisdom

>>14605800
Something about the Willistons just don't appeal to me. They're probably my least favorite RW boot. They look too clean and sterile for RWs. And why do they exist when the Sheldons already existed?

anyone know what the jutting out grooves on the side of the soles are called?
i wanna custom make my own soles similar to that but i just want to know the name of it first

Everyone online says Red Wing leather darkens when you clean it with the proper polish. So should I go for this one?

>>14606101
or this one?

Just ordered these Trickers Burford boots. Based or cringe?

>>14606104
baste

>>14606102
The leather on these boots is oil tanned and thick as fuck. You don't realy need to polish them. Some boot oil will do fine. It will darken them slightly but should return to a lighter shade after it fully absorbs.

>>14606101
>>14606102
You don't polish oil tanned leather. You're thinking of conditioner it but it doesn't need to be conditioned very often, every 6 months if needed or longer. And it depends what the conditioner is based on too to determine if it will darken. You can get one that won't darken it at all.
Please don't put polish on oil tanned leather.

>>14606104
Not my style, but I appreciate Tricker boots. Based indeed

>>14605750
Those are sexy merchants
>>14605995
it could be called a "lug"
>>14605758
Saved a reddit post showing a Thursday boot with eight eyelets on one side and seven on the other. Fuck Thursday boots

>>14606129
Now that's just hilarious.

>>14606129
Holy shit, I remember that post.
There is absolutely no reason something like this should have been made in the first place, but the fact that it made it past their supposed QC is mindblowing.

>>14605763
That is hilarious. You can tell how defensive their owner gets. It's like he knows he's shady and and is being called out for it so he lies harder

>>14606108
>>14606117
Ahh okay. See I'm a newfag on this stuff so I had no idea. Been wearing Clarks and the same pair of white Stans for like 4 years now and trying to mature a bit lel.

>>14606132
>he starts sentences with "so"

I will never buy from that company just for that.

>>14606135
No problem, we'll try and help you out with any other leather questions you might have.
A lot of that kinda stuff you never really have any reason to know unless you get boots with that leather. A lot of care products are for specific kinds of leathers

>>14606132
>>14606137
>We have a direct to consumer, digitally native vertical brand
This sounds like a fucking MLM it's a cluster fuck of a sentence
>Handmade in small bathes
At least the Mexican company they use to build their boots is inclusive and hires the DOWNY Mexicans to do the typesetting

>>14606198
Anon you don't know about the small bathing technique??

shall i cop this pair of RM Williams? Been thinking about it for months.

>>14606212
I mean if you're going with a chelsea, this is the one. chelseas get a lot of hate from insecure dudes around here, but they're decently versatile and a solid shoe.

>>14606198
Thursday is the gift that keeps on giving.

Also, did you know their women's boots are not welted but cemented, however they don't indicate on their website that that's the case because they advertise themselves as being a quality brand that uses the GYW.

What about NPS posting? Been thinking of getting these since I'm not about to spend over 300 eurodollars on shoes and wanted some brogue boots.

>>14606353
They're owned by the same people that make Solovair and Docs so on principle I can't support them and hope they fail.

>>14605768
It's been about two and a half weeks, wore them at least once a day, they are extremely comfy finally as of today. Have to relace them every time though which is annoying but w/e

>>14606422
Awesome. Glad they're breaking in nicely and working out

>Have to relace them every time though which is annoying but w/e
Are they too short or what? Which laces are you using? The flag waxed ones?

What are some boots similar to these?

>>14605750
What kind of socks should I wear with boots?

Does anyone know of a good place to buy Corcoran jump boots from which doesn't have overly expensive shipping to Europe (particularly non-EU parts of Europe)?
Also does someone know of a similar look to it but with a lower shaft? I googled and found some pretty neat vintage low boots from cove shoe company (corcoran parent company) that look like my ideal mental image of boots, but sadly sellers only ship to U.S.

>>14606231
Say what you will about them but dont quote reviews from like 2016 or whenever they started from kickstarter and dont blatantly lie. Its stated on the website that the womens boots were changed from GYW to cement due to popular demand. It makes the boot look more sleek, feminine and also makes the boot lighter.
I dont think its a worthwhile tradeoff but women dont give a shit apparently

>>14606913
Thursday shill please go. We won't buy your trash boots no matter what you post here

Yay or ney

>>14607210

i honestly think the red wing merchants look like fucking garbage. i guess everyone has their own preference though, but the unstructed toe box collapses after a while and creases way more than the iron rangers and blacksmiths. i guess i just prefer the structured toe box.

>>14607312
Just put shoe trees in them, dummy. All unstructured shoes collapse over time. They don't like like that on the foot because the foot is filling the space

>>14605791
Frye is one of those brands that used to be synonymous with American made quality but they've moved most of their production to other countries and the qc has gone downhill. Their boots are fine but not usually worth the pricetag.

>>14606353
meh
What's your normal dress style?
I hate pebble leather and broguing on boots so obviously these boots aren't for me but I can respect your choice if they fit your everyday look.

>>14607218
I literally cannot fathom how anyone can look at palladiums and think they don't look awful

>>14606552
just look up lug sole ankle boots
there are many out there

>>14606842
boot socks... Darn Tough, Dahlgren, and The Buffalo Wool Company are what I mostly wear
you should really wear wool socks for everything but especially with boots

>>14607210
>>14607218
>>14607440
They're functional for what they are, a lightweight canvas boot with a water resistant sole and cap. That being said they look like some juvenile mashup of Chucks and boots. If you're gonna go for a sneaker boot just get something like Danner Tachyons. I've heard that Palladiums fall apart pretty quick, which doesn't surprise me as you can see the glue sticking out from the sole in those pics, which is not indicative of high standards or qc.

>>14606212
Much nicer than all the Americana bollocks people in these threads masturbate to.

>>14606129
Kek. Someone post the Solovair boots with mismatched eyelet numbers.

>>14607143
"STOP LIKING THINGS I HAVENT LIKED SINCE SEEING SOME THREADS ON TWITTER"

>>14607435
Eh I ended up going with Berwicks after spending a few hours online trying to find brogue boots with a commando sole.

>>14607564
I seriously hope you don't actually believe that

>>14607608
What the fuck are you talking about? I have given so many examples of why I don't like Thursday and don't support them.
Don't worry, you got paid by them for your posts so it makes no difference to you.

>>14605774
try RW black smith's

Been wearing these Red Wings Truhikers for work since I got them over the weekend and they're literally more comfortable than sneakers, and the aluminum toe is a nice bonus. It's like body armor for your feet.

>>14605750
just got these in

>>14607748
Why though?

>>14607962
wanted a black boot that could be dressed up and down that wasn’t a chelsea.

>>14608176
I don't think you could have picked an uglier boot if you tried

>>14607441
I want to put some rugged soles on my boots. Is it possible with a storm welt?

For work purposes I've been wearing gaiters. For aesthetic reasons I've been wearing Italian army surplus lace-ups.

They are a bit of bother though, thinking about wearing my trousers bloused into a pair of moderately tall boots instead. Has to be mid-tan or thereabouts.

Any suggestions? Cocoran jump boots might fit the bill, but I'm not sure.

>>14608793
Corcoran*

>>14607627
Beard, glasses, check shirt and raw denim to go perfectly with your desk job. Right?

>>14606212
>comfort
I'm less inclined to go for the comfort craftsman. I'm yet to have it confirmed but I suspect the craftsman with some subtle sole protectors would have a bit more longevity based on the build.

>>14607441
>Darn Tough, Dahlgren, and The Buffalo Wool Company
I am poor. Is there any other option that costs 5-10 bucks per pair?

>>14608893
If you think Europeans don't dress exactly like that as well then I've got news for you.

What are some /fa/ boots for under 150?

>>14609357
Timberland squall canyon, have to go through Amazon though. I love mine

Could i wear them with shorts in the summer?
if yes, are black chukkas good to wear with shorts?

>>14609481
Any boots with shorts looks autismcore

I'm thinking of copping this pair of Chippewa. Anyone had a pair?

I hear about Austrian paratrooper boots almost every time combat boots get brought up. Are they actually worthwhile or are they some joke that I'm not in on?

>>14609934
Ellison's are dogshit get the Service boot Sierra trading post has some they just got in on their site

would love a pair of these but they have any in stock for my size. anyone had a pair?

>>14605750
What model are these?

>>14610376
Yes I do have a pair , these are the ll bean khatdhan engineer boots yes? They’re pretty good for the price . Leather isn’t as nice as red wing iron rangers , but I actually think these are more comfortable than rw

If I only buy one pair of boots, should I get something like a dark brown red wing blacksmith?

>>14610376
Here’s a pic of mine, had them for about a year and a half . They age pretty well.

>>14610309
There's a reason they're called "Austrian memes". They're a meme people keep falling for

>>14610432
Red Wing Merchants in ebony harness leather my dude

>>14610466
bump.

>>14610466
>>14610714
Dark brown is probably the most versatile color to get, absolutely. If you're only going to own one boot it should be brown, definitely not black

How are palladiums for work and /out/?

They seem really cheap on ebay

>>14606129
>that lousy unfinished edge on the leather
literally threw up a little bit in my mouth and then a lot all over the place

What's the least gay non-black replacement for standard black laces on standard black Docs? Yellow+brown? Is there a non-gay alternative? I'm not replacing them because I particularly don't like the colour, I just find this particular pair of laces really un-grippy, they come undone too easily

can you recommend me something similar ?

>>14611881

>>14605775
All of these guys' jeans fit slightly wrong. What kind of massive faggots have fun in the sun with their successful company and their bros instead of obsessing over the fit of their jeans?

>>14606212
I got the comfort craftsman with the extra special sole, in chocolate suede, for about $550. I wear 11.5 in the US, so I got 10.5 per their chart. It fit like half a size too small. No returns for that style.

>>14607210
School-shooter-core

>>14607748
Those look like woman's shoes to me. Then again, so did styles like chelsea boots at first.

>>14612335
just fucking tell me about laces shiteyes

>>14610581
Any recommendations for a decent pair of combat boots then?

>>14606552
That's a red wing logger max. Chippewa loggers are similar. Really any logger boot will be similar.

Finally pulled the trigger recently on Iron Rangers. Couldn’t be happier. Also can’t think of a pair of shoes I’ve wanted longer

>>14612375
I can see why with the shape/size of the heel. It depends on how you wear it. the extra height from the heel is a way of coping with only being 6'0.

>>14608719
how can you say this when
>>14607681
>>14607218
>>14610309
are in the thread.

>>14612596
I’m not trying to be a dick or tell people how to wear their boots , but for the very bottom eyelets, where you begin lacing, the laces should go over the top of the two eyelets and then through, not under. It really bothers me. Kindly fix it

>>14612851
There's no right or wrong you stupid nigger. He can lace them however he wants

In what climates is it best to wear leather boots? I live in southern ontario and weather can be cold,snowy/slushy/rainy often.

Where can I find a 1930s style combat boot that aren't 10 inch monstrosities that would make me look like a skinhead/school shooter? All the ones that look 8 inch look cheap as fuck and overpriced.

Or y'think 10 inch would be ok as long as I don't tuck my pants in them? Just want to beat the fuck out of them and wear them with lightly cuffed pants/trousers, I like the tucked in look with jeans though in the winter.

Anyone know what these boots are called?

I want these so bad

>>14612851
Fuck off

I'm an amputee and I wear a prosthetic. It really sucks when it comes to boots because the heel of my fake foot has no range of motion and it can be very difficult to get the damn thing on. Can someone who owns these tell me how flexible this heel is?

>>14612335
Based. Docs are not allowed under any circumstances.

>>14612946
What kind of question is this? Some variation of leather footwear has appeared all over the world throughout history.

>>14613596
my sister had this issue.
you'll have to get a second prosthetic that has the foot/ankle adjusted for a raised heel.

dont try to do it with the one you have, you'll fuck up the prosthesis and also may injure yourself.

>>14613609
Sorry maybe I didn't describe my problem well enough. I mean it is difficult to get the foot on because the back piece of leather usually isn't pliable enough for the foot to clear it. I have a custom pair of boots (with a side zipper) with a decently raised heel and have minimal trouble with them.

Man I love boots with a zipper. Give me one good reason why all boots shouldn't have a zipper. Laces to adjust fit, zipper for convenience.

I will concede that Red Wings certainly can be Reddit if the rest of your outfit is. "Dad" hats, le epic manly mustache, pastel denim jacket, cuffed pants, etc.

>>14613515
Dayton Service Boot in charcoal nubuck leather.
That specific model is from a collab they did years ago with W&H that is long gone. But you can still get their standard service boot in that leather just it will have a different sole

>>14613685
Do you know how fucking stupid you sound trashing good boots that are a good price all because you'd rather Doc Martens and look like a school shooter

>>14613733
No one has dressed like that for years. Everything you described was a trend that is long gone

>>14613787
I was at an airport recently and saw at least 5 dudes dressed that way in the span of 30 minutes.

what boot type to go well with bomber jacket?

>>14614318
First of all, that bomber looks absolutely hideous. That might be one of the worst I've ever seen.
Second, service boots would probably look good with them

>>14614332

pic rel will do?

>>14614425
Yeah, something like this is really versatile and can go with most outfits you could wear.

>>14614429
what about zipper on the side? just noticed those one have a zipper and it seems like it could be pretty convenient or absolutely useless

>>14614436
Zipper boots are the ultimate meme. I shiggy diggy that anyone actually wears something with them

I ordered a pair of Clarks Mali black boots but I went true to size with the intention of inserting my own insoles.

Did I fuck up with sizing?

>>14614493
Ordered them as in they haven't arrived yet?

>>14614425
w2c?

>>14614509
Yep, they still didn't ship so I could cancel if I fucked up

>>14614518
I've never owned a pair of Clarks to tell you how sizing works, but you could check out styleforum and r/goodyearwelt and I'm sure you could find countless people talking about sizing. Act fast incase it does turn out you ordered the wrong size and need to cancel.

>>14614493
I have only had one pair of Clarks and they were comically oversized

I got a pair of Wolverine 1000 Mile Anniversary bison leather boots at Marshalls of all places for about $120. They fit great which is hard for me.

>>14610376
I realize someone's gonna call me an anti-Bean shill, but I had such a bad experience with those things I'm never buying anything from them ever again. Went through three pairs and they looked like they'd been made by retarded monkeys. Couldn't get a single boot that wasn't defective.

>>14615099
Post fit pics. I hate Wolvermeme but if you lucked out and got a good pair than that's awesome.

>>14615114
I'm 36 so I just wear them with slim dark wash jeans and a shirt with the sleeves rolled up.

>>14610581
Can you explain why they're memes? I'm looking for good combat boots and these always get recommended. I dont want to be memed :/

>>14615341
They have a leather sole which is already a red flag. Wolverine has notoriously bad leather. Their CXL is downright awful most times. Getting a well clicked pair is rare
There's just so much better you could get for the price. Unless they're on sale wolverines are too much

They're wide as hell and can basically only be found used but the style is simple and classic and goes with anything, and the leather is as good as you're ever going to get on a recent, readily available milsurp boot. Personally I love mine and would buy them again in an instant

Lmao, his update post says the replacement boots they sent were both right-footed

I used to hate Thursday and Truman equally. But now I just hate Thursday.
Truman just went through growing pains as any expanding business does. The thing with Truman is the owner meant well, he is just a total douchebag in real life. Dealing with returns and customer service went exactly how you'd imagine dealing with a giant asshole would be. But they got over it and fixed their products and now they're not bad.
Thursday was opposite. A bunch of very nice and helpful people who didn't care about the product, only the profit and had no business making boots.
I'll probably buy some Trumans eventually, but I'll never be caught dead in some Thursdays

>>14614887
Pretty easy. Wipe dust and dirt with a damp rag. The chamois is pretty oily and Neatsfoot oil is recommended as they age. Other than that you can pretty much leave it alone.

>>14615081

They're pretty cool. I got grade 1 from some milsurp site. I didn't buy from kommando because you can get them cheaper elsewhere. Also replaced the leather insoles from trainer ones from old running shoes because they were worn, but since it was grade 1 it didn't have any defects.

I hate Docs, I hate Solovair and I hate those shitty Austrian boots.
Kindly please fuck off

Why does everyone hate the austrian boosts? You genuinely cant get a cheaper boot. Its bang for buck

>>14619105
they're jealous because they aren't attractive enough to pull them off without looking like a fat larper or a skellington shooter

where can i get inspo for brown boots/oxfords?

>>14619194
Imagine actually thinking this. Holy shit. They're boots for poorfags who want the school shooter aesthetic. Why the fuck would someone be jealous of that,m

I just read that Thursday's boot article and I'm not seeing what's so bad about it?
What exactly have they been exposed of doing?
Genuinely curious as I see they're mentioned as one of the best inexpensive alternatives

what colour jeans for brown boots? To me pretty much anything goes, opinions?

>>14619726
Brown goes with literally anything. You can even get away with black pants and brown boots most of the time

I work in a pretty upscale bar - would RW Merchants in black be too casual/uncomfortable/liable to get completely wrecked by the amount of wear and tear that comes from being in a bar and around copious water and other bullshit?

>>14619773
I doubt it. All of Red Wing's oil tanned leathers are pretty fucking durable. They're basically the same as Iron Rangers or Blacksmiths just on a sleeker last. The toughness and durability is still the same.
Also, oil tanned leathers are pretty water resistant due to the way they're tanned. I'd say they'd be fine.

>>14619785
can they dress up or do they look a little too outdoorsy for a high end place?

>>14619806
How high end are we talking? I think they go great with a smart casual look. They're in that middle where they can go both ways.

>>14606104
Lovely...pity that i cant afford them.

>>14617457

>>14619935

fancy for a shithole town, so like, black trousers/shirt/tie

>>14620007
I think they could work, but it's up to you. Red Wing has the Williston or Sheldon boots as dressier alternatives that might work better

>>14615509

I want a manly boot, what do you guys recommend?

>>14620065
not redwings

>>14620065
White's boots. Get the Bounty Hunter (even the name is manly) or the Semi Dress. The MP Service Boot is perfect too. What's more manly than a boot modeled after boots soldiers wore in WWII?
Trust me, bro. Bitches will notice

>>14620082
I like the look of them but they're too expensive

>>14620134
It's a small price to pay in the long run. You can buy 500 dollar boots once and have them last 15 years or you can buy 100 dollar boots that last a year and keep buying them.

>>14613635
The in-store service is great if u have a RW shop near you they will 100% help. I have IR and the heel isnt super flexible in my opinion.

People hate Red Wings because for a long time their moc toe boots were the hipster basedboy boot of choice. Skinny "men" in flannels and beards would wear the moc toes and I think people like you associate all Red Wings with them.
Red Wings are pretty good boots though and they're not super expensive. I've got two pairs and planning on a third some time this fall

>>14620321

>>14620339
Great cope desu

What's a good boot that I can wear in the summer with chinos? I'm an engineer and I'm 22, not trying to dress way up or look like I'm trying too hard. I just want to look good and move away from wearing boat shoes with chinos every day to work
Also, desert boots look faggy so don't suggest those pls

>>14620339
I do ride motorcycles though, dipshit. Motorcycles is part of the reason I got into boots like I did. I needed boots to ride and it just went from there.

>>14620064
>use black paste on the sides of the sole

>>14620379
good one basedboi. hopefully one day you buy a real pair of boots. it's not about the price its about the quality.

Are Palladiums being discontinued or something? I'm trying to get a replacement pair and half the sizes and colorways are sold out.

>>14620437
What happened, did some guy wearing Red Wings fuck your oneitis at a party you were at so now you're bitter? Grow up, goddamn, it's just boots.

And I don't care if you don't believe me because I don't care about you.

Here it is. Every single thread you make some reddit tier post that is so retarded it hurts to read. Here's your post for this thread.
Can't wait to see what it will be next thread. But you'll be there, just as you are in every thread, and you'll post some bullshit like you always do.
Never change.

any recommendations for boots that are decent in snow?

was thinking of danners mountain series but they seem a little low for any actual depth...

heard the vibram kletterlift on them is decent though.

>>14620421
I'm also planning to ride a motorcycle soon. Which boots are you wearing when riding?

>>14620703
I mostly wear my Iron Rangers because I don't care about them as much so as they develop black marks on them from shifting it doesn't bother me.
I need to get some engineer boots so I can go lace-less. I've never had any issues with laces getting in the chain but I'd rather just actual motorcycle boots anyway

>>14620301
wallapop app from spain, kinda like ebay

>>14620703
Wear actual motorcycle boots that have proper ankle support. Or wear meme fashion boots and enjoy your fucked up ankles when you crash.

>>14620857
Any /fa/ motorcycle boots that you can just wear regularly too?

>order new boots
>this is how insoles look like
what the fuck

>>14620694
I wore my Danners last winter and they did pretty good. Some of their models have waterproofing under/along the laces which is very nice.

hey guys

i didnt even know there was a fashion subforum on 4chan

i have pretty good fashion sense, but there's this new trend i don't quite understand, and i feel stupid for not understanding and following it properly

so apparently you're not supposed to have your pants cover all of your ankles, and you can of course not cover the ankles with socks either, that just looks cringe

how do i pull it off, i don't get it

>>14621241
Nigga, just dress however you want. You described zoomer fashion and zoomers have terrible fashion

what are these Austrians boots and where can I get them

you guys have me intrigued

>>14622216
Zippers in general are known for breaking really fast and now imagine having a zipper on your boots where it's under constant heavy tension. Zipper WILL break sooner or later and you will need new pair of shoes.

>>14622527
The Austrian paratrooper boots from Kommandostore

>>14622558
Not only that but they're just a sign of cheap boots. More expensive and quality brands never have them for a reason

>>14622216
>>14622558
>>14622615
I do not understand the purpose of zippers on lace-up boots if they barely work as intended. I have a lace-up 9-inch boot that has a side-zip but undoing the zipper before you put them on doesn't make putting them on any easier. You still have to loosen as many laces as if you didn't have the zipper. The only advantage a side-zip has is that it makes taking off the boots quickly, but the time difference between loosening a couple of laces is negligible.

>>14621241
>how do I pull off a simple idea as exposing your ankle, I don't get it
Anyone and their mother could buy some shitty jeans from Forever 21 and "pull off" the God-forsaken exposed ankle thing. It's as simple as wearing low-top shoes and either wearing trousers with an inseam a few inches short or cuffing them. Wear some shit you see at the mall such as H&M, Zara, Forever 21, and Express and get inspo from searching "mens fashion" on Google images.

>>14621176
what kinda snow condition are we talking about?
i live in pnw and going to be visiting northern japan (allegedly more snowy at times than eastern canada)

>>14605750
I see everyone praise White's MP boot, but what about their other stuff. On their website, they have these 350 boots, which aren't available on BakerShoe for some reason. Anyone have experience with them? I think they look nice.

>>14622794
That boot is their Bounty Hunter boot. With the launch of their new website White's changed a lot of stuff like the names of some of their boots.
It's their Smokejumper boot but made on the 55 last which is their semi dress last so it's sleeker. It's one of their flagship boots and one of their most popular. I think it's going to be my next boot since I already own the MPs.

>>14622806
Well, since everyone else here is certified to be more knowledgeable than me on these boots, how do i get the custom bounty hunter boots to look the closest to pic related from their website? I really like the look.

>>14622825
Or whatever boot the 350 is supposed to be, i'm a newfag.

>>14622832
Bounty Hunter is just Baker's name for it. If you go to their site look at all their Bounty Hunter options.
Those in the pic are almost certainly burgundy Chromexcel leather, lace to toe meaning that eyelet style that goes down like that, standard trim meaning two rows of stitching, standard heel meaning the Cuban heel in the pic as opposed to lowered block heel. All that stuff comes standard so all you'd pic would be burgundy CXL.

So also, I just checked Baker's and it appears that they're not making the Bounty Hunter anymore and most of their custom options have been done away with. This must be a business decision on White's part as Baker was selling custom boots through White's for cheaper than what White's was charging. So I guess you'll have to go through White's. They still do custom orders, you just have to go through them.

>>14610309
Best boots in existance

>>14622558
Ah thanks.

need some comfy boots that i will last & i can wear everyday
sick of docs & timbs
any recs bros?
black pls

>>14621686
I can't find any non-zipper boots that are in my price range. All of them are expensive as fuck. I guess i will buy some cheap military surplus boots or some sort of tactical boots

is there a specific reason for this? or is it just a traditional thing

>>14623517
Combats

>>14617495
It's white laces, red means you spilt blood, which would get you jumped by both groups.

gay or okay?

>>14623963
This is what people who shoot up schools wear while they're doing it

tan/beige boots on an otherwise all black outfit, y/n?

>>14623968
sounds like the type of boots i should wear

>>14624017
Incels gonna incel, I guess

>>14606216
i really want to get some chelseas but i dont have the money for the comfort. Do you know of any other shoe, thats cheaper but at least of decent quality?

c or n

They are okay, look more workboots then combat boots tho. But if you wear some black pants they fit

None of these things are true. The wack sole makes you look like a child.

>>14624888

There only people I see still wearing docs are goth or grunge-ish teenagers.

>>14622838
>So also, I just checked Baker's and it appears that they're not making the Bounty Hunter anymore

Where are you seeing this? I'm on Baker's site right now and I still see custom Bounty Hunters as a option

>>14624888
take the timbs pill
>all women like it (not just art hoes)
>men respect u
>will land u any construction job
>comfortable
>will get you a wife & kids

Can anybody ID these?
I like combat and pointy boots, and this one tends towards both, in a way.

>>14624984
>will get you a wife & kids
so timbs are for cucks?

>>14624888
Literally the only people I see wearing docs are lesbians with blue hair and school shooter incels looking types.
I'd say the majority of people wearing them are girls though

>>14624980
I checked again on my computer and their site is normal. I was on my phone when I typed that and there was no option to go to different pages on the phone so I mistakenly assumed they must have changed. That's my bad. Blame their shitty mobile site.
I'm that case take all the stuff I said and plug it into their site for a custom BH and see how much

>>14624984
>>14624888
Friendly reminder that I wear Whites and Red Wings and my life is good and my gf is a 8-9/10

>>14625091
I'm not the same anon you were talking to earlier but I'm seriously considering some custom Bounty Hunters and your post gave me a small panic attack

>>14625097
Well Whites just redid their whole site and changed names of a bunch of stuff and being on my phone and not seeing an option to go forward a page I just assumed they changed their options. Again, that's what you get for phone posting.

how much am i going to regret buing zippered boots? i need new boots yesterday

>>14625091
I did it for you. This is basically everything that that boot has plugged in. Of course change sizes to fit yours and all that. But otherwise I'm pretty sure this is the exact boot.
This is how much you can expect to spend. Subtract 10% if you sign up for their newsletter, you'll get a coupon code

>>14625114
Oops, forgot to add pull loops, but yeah. Also, it's up to you if you'd want it lined or not. None of mine are and I've never cared.

>>14624888
