/fa/ - Fashion

wow, what a very specific and VERY cool pic, OP (not me), here are my WHITE'S BOOTS loggers with spring-heel in roughout black in the field! i cant wait to see what my other friends on /fa/ are wearing, what they want to be wearing, and what is boot

>>15494689
nice, i (different than both the OP and the person I am replying to) ALSO have some WHITE'S BOOTS loggers with spring-heel in roughout black that I stood on trees with

>>15494681
Butwhy?

What are some more luxurious combat boots?

I'm looking for something that isn't surplus (which are cheap, uncomfortable, and crappy) and that isn't designer (which is ridiculously overpriced for the quality). I'm thinking in the range of $200-$450

I can only think of Solovair (which still has poor reviews). I would get White's but it would be LARPy for a dude who doesn't even live in a rural area.

>>15494745
whites but remove the false tongue

>>15494681
Can someone tell me why smooth finish boots are bad? I feel it ages better than roughout.

>>15494681
>>15494689
>>15494717
I wonder if whites would make an insulated hunter in roughout. I'm not a fan of the red dog but love the shape of the boot
>>15495111
How do you see it as aging better than rough out? The scratches on the smooth leather will ruin the finish while on rough out they disappear like nothing.

>>15494681
I own two pairs of Whites, also some Red Wings

>>15495118
It's that ruined finish though that tells a story. It seperates the hard worker from the hipster.

>>15495147
Smooth leathers gets a ruined finish, roughout ages.

tfw kulien still hasn't sent me a fugging fit sheet

pic not related, random Franks custom build I think?

i've recently moved into a colder climate and got myself my first ever pair of boots. any suggestions on how to style them? wool pants? pic related

>>15495890
These look pretty versatile desu.
Jeans, cargo pants, wool pants would work yeah, even corduroy. The fit is important, nothing too skinny but also don't go too far into boomer or JNCO territory.
I'd go for darker colours, I think ususally pants should be close in tone to boots, not always but usually.

Sneaker and loafer wearer here.
I live in UK so it’s A/W now, I want to try boots which pair well with a lot of different types and styles of clothing but I’m not sure which style to get. Nothing too flamboyant but also don’t want it too militaristic. Not sure how I feel about brogue and I think I’m leaning towards a black boot. I’d rather not look too reddit or classic menswear tier since I’m only mid 20s.

What should I consider that actually fits a UK environment?

>>15495890
what are these? are there any without the zip?

>>15496002
i'm moving there next month from a tropical climate and i've been thinking of getting a pair of chelseas. they're versatile but desu i'm not sure about wearing them on snowy days as they might be slippery or not warm enough

>>15496080
yeah idk if these would do or if they’re slightly too sleek or flamboyant because I don’t see these much irl

depends on the shape and if leather or suede

>>15495890
I wear skinny jeans but I cut the seam at the ankle to make them "boot cut"

recommend me some nice, low-cut boots. no military cuckery
>t. college student

>tfw have spent thousands of dollars on many pairs of boots and never wear any of them
>just wear loafers everywhere

Redpill me on: Alden, Chippewa, Oak Street Bootmakers, Red Wing, Solovair, Thursday Boot Company, Visvim, Wolverine, Yuketen

>>15497537
>low-cut boots
try the women's section at goodwill tranny

>>15497562
contrarily, only faggots wear knee high boots outside of texas, and I am in pennsylvania

>>15497565
nigger there is quite a bit of difference between low cut boots and knee highs. you didn't specify a length in mind so i assumed you wanted some female booties

>>15497569
i want them to extend two to three inches beyond the ankle

>>15497559
>Alden
Great. My next boot will be their plain toe boot. Or the Indy, I'm trying to decide
>Chippewa
Entry level stuff.
>Oak Street Bootmakers
Genuinely surprised they still exist. They were so fucking shitty back in the day and their customer service was so bad. I stopped following them years ago and will never buy from them
>Red Wing
Not much needs to be said. They're great for the price. I own two pairs.
>Solovair
Just the same disgusting edgy fat feminist designs as Docs. Absolutely un-effay
>Thursday Boot Company
Same with Oak Street. It's amazing they survived considering how rough their early years were. Their owners were straight up cunts to their customers and their customer service as atrocious. Sounds like they turned it around, but I'll still never by from them. Their paid youtube shilling and bot fake reviews on every site left a very sour taste in mine and other's mouths.
>Visvim
No experience. Can't say.
>Wolverine
Overpriced. Way way way too overpriced for the shittiest CXL you'll ever get. You're paying for the name and not the quality. Great if on sale or seconds, but don't ever pay full price for them.
>Yuketen
No experience. Can't say.

>>15497559
all of them are shit compared to WHITE'S

Viberg is overpriced shit, change my mind

What are some decent motorcycle boots, that could be used semi-formal?

He might be a nigger so him saying nigger isnt racist

>>15497759
What the FUCK were you thinking?

Kind of off topic but I don't think this deserves its own thread, plus I don't know whether to ask here or in /out/. I'd like some multipurpose, multiseason boots. I plan on wearing them for sailing (planning on joining a merchant marine academy soon) and some light outdoor stuff, like urban walking and hiking in the northeast. I know jack about boots and I don't have much money so as to get different pairs. Please help ;_;

>>15497559
Yuketen is nice. I don't know if I'd buy any of their boots for hiking and a lot of their shit is butt ugly. But they do a lot of unique shit other boot makers don't and most of it is MiA. My loafer from them is anecdotally better quality than the Quoddy shit I have. It's pretty overpriced though at retail so you are better off waiting for it to go on sale.

>>15499635
>he doesn't think that nails = quality
they allow you to rebuild the entire boot, and allow for sturdier construction compared to glue or pure stitching
if you are referring to the "nails" on the bottom of OP pic, those are caulks, and are generally used in areas that are too slippery or steep for traditional lug soles, such as in logging, forestry, and icy areas

>>15500247
No I'm not.

If you actually check out whites boots irl

There is a ridiculous amount of nails all over everything. Like 30 in the heel alone you can examine by lifting the insole.

There are even nails visible holding parts of the outsole to the midsole.

Take the Mexican boot pill

>>15500254
>if you check them out irl
daily
how would you recommend attaching sections of the boot together that can withstand the rigours of the woods? these aren't fashion boots, they are designed to get beat to shit and rebuilt, the heel stack alone is like an inch of leather to get through. glue will melt or fall apart, you need to either stitch (too thick) or screw the boot together

Can someone recommend boots like pic related? I dot care about the price, I just want some comfortable boots like this with good arch support.

>>15500313
It's such a lame gimmick.

You can use a Goodyear welt to attach your sole to the upper like had been done for 100 years.

You don't need 47 nails to hold your outsole to your midsole.

And heel stacks use a combination of SOME nails and adhesive.

Some. Not 60.....

They're just using it as a gimmick weighing down the boot

>>15494681
divided between these or the bv lug boot

>>15500784
Holding boots together with nails and stitching is the way it’s been done for 500 years

Wesco boots has a selection of boots at massive discount on their site. Some of them are amazing custom boots that somehow got scuffed here and there during production, nothing too noticeable in some cases. You can get a pair of boots for like 300 USD that retail for 700+.

>>15500814
If you buy a packet from me and I staple it once it works right?

Holds the pages together,reads easy light weight.

What if I staples it 47 times and sold it to you as a superior product because it has more hardware....well that's White's for you.

It's empty marketing

blundstones 510 or 63?

>>15500793
Depends on what your style is, because those are two very different silhouettes
For me 100% the Vitello boots, the Bottega Lugs are gonna end up being a meme just like the Triple S

>>15500860
get solovair

sold most of my boots

down to 5 pairs because I wear these chelseas 90% of the time

>>15500793
BV lug boots look like hunter rain boots

>>15500966
ive already got solovair, theyre a completely different style nerd.

Anyone? The only pair of boots I have are classic Timberlands lmao.

>>15500923
i'm looking around for a good black statement boot for f/w, but nothing too over the top since the rest of my wardrobe is also pretty muted. i think i will go with the vitellos, since like you said it does seem like they have more longevity than the bvs. i've never owned anything from ann d before, but would you say that they're worth making the investment?

>>15497655
What’s your price range?

>danners
shit throwaway boots already

>>15497607
It is overpriced but doesn't change the fact that they are pretty high quality and very well made. You're paying an extra $200 per pair because they want to make money and it isn't a cheap operation for them to run.

I'm just miffed at the direction they're going these days. Why the hell are they making these fucking retarded slip-ons and sneakers when they should perfect their quality control and expand their custom/MTO.

just ordered these, how did i do?

>>15502689
basic, entry level boot. not terrible if you're still a beginner.

>>15502690
i’m realistic about my lifestyle (city office job) and know that AE is a serious, adult brand and couldn’t turn down the sale price. plus all my other boots are smooth leather

Which one should I cop.

Leaning towards the engieneer boots, alraedy have Guidi 795v

>>15502816
>WESCO
that's not WHITE'S, what the fuck are you doing

>>15502832
their engie boots are better than whites, and its only $300

Usually $600+, but looks like someone ordered these customs and never paid it full

>>15502846
>better
explain

>>15502816
left, the right look like generic rainboots

>>15502888
The engie boots are definitely center stage at Wesco. At Whites Boots, this style seems to be swept under the rug, while their dress boots and work boots take center stage. I like Whites better for the Rangers and logger boots, but even then I rather have my Guidi 795V in my wordrobe over their styles.

>>15501208
Under $500

>>15502689
Cool boots!

you get them with narrow toes

Link to left boot please.

Poordag here, can't into whites boots. I want some logger style boots like in OP but can't find anything close to that style for my price range ($230usd)
I kinda made myself like the look of carolina lineman and elms. Would definitely replace the laces on these with either black or white laces.

These are much cheaper and they kinda look better but I wish they were completely black like white's, not a fan of the stripe of brown where the upper meets the sole. I like the linesmens I posted because they're less standard looking than your average boot.

it changes occasionally, but never to 10.5 when I remember to check, so fuck off if that's your size too. there is another model with 7.5 , 8, 11.5 @$250

>>15503228
>>15503231
you can buy some leather dye for a few dollars and dye the sections that aren't black
also carolinas are dogshit quality and you would be better off saving up a little more dough and getting a low-end pair of whites that can be rebuilt
here are some with less aggressive soles and lasts close to your range

I'm wearing my smokejumpers right now and all I plan to do is dick around on the internet and do some leatherworking later
they are without a doubt one of the most comfortable boots I have ever worn after I broke them in. 10 hour shifts in the woods and my feet don't get tired
>>15503654
the spikes (caulks) allow you to stick into slash and duff (forest debris like fallen logs and leaf litter) without sliding around. with a normal lug sole, the boot has a tendency to lose traction on wet wood, or steep terrain.
it essentially allows you to reverse what you can normally hike on. with spikes, wet wood and steep terrain is a breeze. as SOON as you start hitting rocks, though, you start slipping and sliding everywhere.

Nah not looking dor 10.5 more like 10. Do they fit true to size? I wear 9.5 in adidas, 10 in nikes and Reebok. Which size should I get in whites?

Looking for some cool gtx hiking boots but I don’t know shit about what’s good. I like charcoal/black but I’m open to other colorways, if they have a slick tech look. Anyone have any recs for something like that?

>>15504018
Thanks anon

>>15504088
generally you want to size half to a full size down
when you first put them on, it should be a struggle to fit your foot inside. not painful, but the boot should be incredibly snug.
be aware of "white's bite", or boot bite, and be ready for the roughest break-in period of your life
it took ~2 months of daily use for my smokejumpers to fully break in, but they are without a doubt the most comfy boots I have ever worn in my life

>>15504155
Does submerging them in water and letting them dry on your feet work?

>>15504162
that's called wet-forming leather, and will damage the oil-tanned 8 oz leather that most PNW logger boots are made with. in the end, this can cause the hardware used to make the boot become unseated, wear prematurely, and generally fuck up your leather since it wasn't designed to be submerged in water. will it break in faster? yes. is it good for the $300-650 boot you just bought? fuck no
you want to break in the boot with a combination of the heat from your foot, the pressure of your body moulding the leather, and the sweat from your foot allowing it to slowly form around your unique foot shape. if you wet form this boot, you will need to let it then dry for days before it's not saturated, which means that it will form to a different shape than your foot, the leather is losing much of its natural oil (which means you will have to oil the inside of the boot which is fucking retarded and will ruin all of your socks), and is going to fuck up the stitching and hardware.
just wear the boots a little bit at a time, enough to get some heat and sweat and to pound the leather a bit. 30 minutes the first day, then an hour, then 3 hours, then a day, etc., I usually just wear mine for the entire day right off the bat, but I use a different lacing style and already have thick callouses on my ankles and toes from the nature of my work.

tl;dr no, just wear them normally

>>15501331
I hear that they cost way more than they're worth :/

>>15502285
Dehner boots are MTO and are like $400+. Idk if he was referring to these or another brand

>>15504006
sounds miserable, sorry anon

>>15504176
but if I'm a 9.5 and get a 9, how would I wear thick socks to protect my feet from death? and are you memeing me with sizing down? will I just be stuck with a $250 boot that's too small for me?

could I in theory take smooth leather boots and use a very fine sandpaper on them to turn them into nubuck boots?

>>15495118
Shit I’m in the process of ordering a pair. Sent in my measurements now waiting for a try on pair of smokejumper to arrive. Apparently the smokejumpers and insulated hunter have the same guts.

>>15504176
also can you post the lacing style you use? I'd like to learn.

If only the rough out ones were on sale

is there anything aside from tcx hero for halfway decent looking moto boots

>>15505007
I am a brannock 10 D, and I fit a white's 9.5 D perfectly
they are also really outstanding with returns, they fucked up my caulks by putting all eyelets and no hooks, and remade the entire thing to put the hooks in. these are specialty boots that are rarely made, the foreman makes every single pair by himself since it's so uncommon, and they just took the loss to remake them since they fucked up, AND they refunded me 20%. top lads
>>15505020
sure! basically, you want to go
>eyelets
>FIRST hook
>THIRD hook
>back to the SECOND hook
>continue fourth, fifth, etc. to top
>do not use the top pair of eyelets
additionally, I suggest lacing your false-tongue like this:
>insert laces so that a small loop is formed on the top face of the false-tongue
>pull laces through their respective eyelets
>draw laces through the top face loop that you just made
>continue lacing as normal
essentially you are locking the false tongue in place so that it doesn't move around when you walk, and I think it looks nicer too

>>15494681

>>15505069
I’ve heard rumors about there quality being downgraded. Is there any validity to this? Or is it just some shot talking started by nicks or something.

>>15505020
>>15505069
here is the lace wrapping technique
>>15505096
they were purchased by a japanese company, and then nothing happened. no difference in staff, hours, material sourcing, technique, nothing. it's literally the same people using the same shit in the same workshop in spokane, washington. all of the other custom PNW logger boot companies are also in spokane, washington, and use basically the same materials and construction techniques.
it's just shit talking started by retards who think that a parent company buying your parent company means that everything is instantly offshored to vietnam, when if anything the japanese are known for their random bouts of autism over handmade craft good quality control, see: knives, fish, meat, etc.

>>15505102
what is the point of this dumb shit

just get shorter laces

>>15505102
Thanks for the info. Great boots by the way.

>>15505103
because the alternative is doing the classic bunny-ears tie for your boots, which will come undone within the first few steps in the brush
by wrapping and tucking the laces, brush and branches and rocks and whatever else won't snag, and you can swing leg through tanoak and huckleberry all day without worrying about your boot coming undone

>>15505102
just double knot and tuck behind your laces

>>15500994
I own two boots boots from Ann and both have held up well for over 4 years. I would say they are worth the investment.

glad you liked it, they're White's smokejumpers
>>15505112
always comes undone in the field, else it's a pain in the ass to undo them at the end of the day
been lacing this way for years now, and it's better than any of the alternatives I've ever tried. plus it's extremely fast once you're used to it, and I think it looks pretty slick

>>15505339
brother, I'm on 4chan what do you think

>>15505346
Don't pile yourself in with the rest of us. Working a job where you do nothing all day is NPC tier.

>>15505416
and what do you do for a living?

>>15505416
its amusing to me that you don't realize posting on 4chan is probably the same level of 'npc-tier' except you literally do it for free

>>15505418
I have my own small handyman business, it's very nice. I work with my friends and don't have anyone to give me any shit who I can't tell to go fuck themselves. I can make 3k in several days depending on the contracts.

and yet you still feel the need to attempt to convince other people you're doing things

>>15505448
What are you implying? I just get mad when people are ok with being lumps of flesh and not doing something interesting. I worked an office job once. It was the most souless thing I've ever done, I thought I was clinically depressed. I would call in sick constantly. Ever since I I've started my business I've only canceled a day out of lazyness once in 3 years and it was so I could spend the day with my lady friend and I'm happy to go into work every time.

>>15505452
because you're just an npc that's deluded yourself into thinking you're better than all the other npcs. Just because you feel more fulfilled doesn't mean you're actually doing something interesting and the fact that you feel like you have to blurt out your life story to a boot section of a mongolian lumberjack emporium is amusing

>>15509924
Short boots have existed since forever you brain rotted dimwit

>>15509924

Are you retarded? short boots probably existed before high boots.

Them white clarks looking gud

What military surplus boots are good? Or are there any other cheap options for boots? Would just be wearing with jeans and a jumper. Sorry if I'm retarded.

>>15510714
>good
none
>wearable
any that are full leather

>>15510974
Why do you consider none of them good?

>>15511082
because they are all designed to be used and then thrown away, none of them can be resoled or rebuilt (at least easily), all of them were contracted out to the lowest bidder, they are usually designed poorly and will destroy your feet
i used milsurp for year before getting a pair of white's, and it's like night and day. i wear my white's literally all day and it's a fucking dream, you could not pay me to wear milsurp trash again

>>15511106
So you would suggest not buying the parameme boots? I was really hoping to get a pair and have them resoled with a white sole. I really love the look of a black combat boot with a white sole but can't find a pair anywhere.

buy whites you fucking retard
they wont fall apart in a fire and they wont become brittle in the snow
they can also customise shit like that for you as well

>>15511116
i mean if you just want a cheap pair of shitter boots then they're fine, but if you intend to wear them more than once a week, you might want to consider getting a higher quality boot
if you just want a comfy quality black boot, redbacks makes a good work chelsea, and if you wanted something with laces you'll need a more defined budget
if you like the paramemes, get them, condition the leather, get some new laces, and they will be fine

are these dior boots from over a decade ago overhyped? companies are currently making knock offs all this time later

are there any decent outfits out there showing them off?

>>15511122
moneyworth and best on atwater can resole you with vibrams. They're in the alexis nehon mall on the metro floor.

>>15505257
Whichever ones you like best.
I like my redwings
BUT I LOOOOOVE MY THURSDAY BOOTS!

>>15511122
Where did you get your paramemes? I just checked kommando store and they want fucking $64CAD for delivery.

I know docs aren't effay but I bought this pair a little bit ago before I knew what I was getting into. Are they alright enough to still wear?

>>15494681
Austrian Paratroopers back in stock FYI, just copped a "great" pair, any1 got these and can comment on condition?

>>15511591
just wear the fucking boots you faggot

>>15511645
I got a Good condition one but don't get them from Kommandostore, get them from forces uniform and kit, you will have less shipping FUCKING DAMN 163 AUD NIGGA Are you high ?

>>15511662
Money isnt really an issue for me, Aus always has retarded shipping rates anyway.

Cargo pants + boots do look really good

>>15511591

Just fucking wear them why do you care what faggots on here or anywhere else think. if you like them WEAR THEM.

Where could I possibly find a pair of these? I know that they are german WWII boots, but I can't find exactly anything like these.

cringe larp

anyone have thoughts on the Ann D backlace meme boots?
seems they are getting a decent rep soon and if it's like $100 I'm kind of tempted

I wear these reddit boots and I'm not ashamed of it

>>15513384
what boots though, they look good

>>15513388
They're 1000 mile boots. They get memed on alot, but they're good. I got the wingtip ones because they don't look as much like the basic workwear meme

are there any decent jungle boots or are they just a meme?

>>15513419
Mostly a meme. I heard some people use them for work boots down near the gulf of Mexico though

>>15513419
>>15513429
they were designed to work in muddy and swampy conditions, with the cheapest possible design
if you are destitute and are wading through rotten water all day, then you too can get trench foot like soldiers of the vietnam war

Any recommendations for under 150usd for a newcomer? Thanks

>>15513530
nothing really unless you're comfortable with buying used/milsurp.

any experiences with blundstones?

>>15513531
Anything I should aim for? Besides that, what would be an overall entry level boot?

>>15513538
comfy as fuck
not terribly useful for hiking, but 10/10 town shoe

Dumb question incoming.

I can't seem to fit my skinny jeans over my boots. Does that make sense? I've seen others do it, but I guess mine aren't wide enough for that? I feel like tucking the jean into the boot, for skinny jeans, looks awkward.

This has to be the single most frustrating thread to find a good pair of boots from.

Quit the Larping military and amazon bullshit and bring up some real shit ffs.

>>15513878
ok

bring up some real shit

>>15513881

I know of Alden, Grenson, Scarosso, Meermin. I've tried so fucking hard. I don't know what else I can do with this:

If people say this is shit, I swear to God just fuck my shit up because I don't even know what's good anymore.

>>15513651

Alden boots scream i am allergic to vaginal secretions indeed that pussy dry like horween leather

>>15511684
are they both dudes?

>>15501962
At the front N1 boondockers

>>15511591
People on here just say they don't like them to be contrarian, basically all dms look good irl

>>15510545
clarks look good but fucking suck if you have to stand all day

that said 95+% of people who wear clarks or red wings have desk jobs, in which case it doesn't fucking matter. what's the difference between clarks and office rangers? other than $200 price and a comical clown toe.

>>15511591
my take on docs: they're fucking painful, but i'm not wasteful, and random normies compliment me on them from time to time, not enough to compensate for how much they fucking suck to wear because the leather is absolute ass and the sole needs a shank

i hate them but i'm ok with them and i can't wait to throw them out.

>>15511675
Keep in mind that these are unlined so the breaking in period, if you get them in great condition, can be a bit painful. I use french army coolmax socks in mine which make the burden a bit lighter

>>15513651
Buy boots with slimmer shafts. Hedi’s Saint Laurent/Celine boots designed for skinny jeans in mind. If you can’t afford it, but some copycat brands.

>>15514038
Cargo pants are such a nice pairing by toning down the larp of these boots.

>>15514490
>slimmer shafts
the ladies prefer girth, son

>>15513467
Which one corresponds to your homosexual affiliation?

Solovairs are wank

>>15511684
what boots?

>>15513965
They often go on sale as well.

Am I an idiot for wanting to buy black timbs? I just want something heavy that doesn't look like I'm a goth twink and doesn't cost 400 fucking dollars.

>>15494681
I'm thinking about some Whites 350 Cruisers. I think that's what they are called. But man the $ is hard to swallow

>>15514970
it's a quality boot that you can resole/rebuild once it gets worn out in a few years
I like them

>>15514206
It's not contrarianism. Docs look like shit and feel like shit. They're an awful boot. I have a pair of made in england docs and it was literally the worse pair of footwear I've ever had.

>>15514985
I think im gonna do it. Ive just never spent that much on boots before so it's given me pause. Most I've ever spent was on some Iron Rangers

>>15514997
They started out good and then turned to shit when they got sold and management decided to replace quality with quantity and become a fad instead of a staple

Imagine being a fat neckbeard with a gf that looks like a shrek cosplay.

>>15511591

everyone should own a pair, it's just contrarianism on top of contrarianism. irl they look good an you will get compliments from women.

I need black somewhat waterproof boots so I can step in puddles and walk in the rain without getting wet feet, are the meme austrian boots still good?

ID on these boots?

>>15518699
pretty cool shot

>>15518691
your feet will get wet in meme boots but if you wear wool socks it probably won't be too bad
t. wears meme boots all winter in massachusetts

what you guys think of these as a first pair of boots?

>>15518699
Big black boots, licked by the thousands who love israel and will defend used car dealerships with their lives.

>>15511591
docs were well liked here years ago what happened? There were often old /fa/ threads discussing docs.
Thats fashion I suppose.
In short just wear them if you like them.

>>15518778
Those clearly arent black

>>15518804
Years ago docs were still hated, what are you talking about. Maybe a year or 2 ago there was a period of time were poorfags and reddit refugees were circle jerking over them but that's passed thankfully.

>>15518778
Stay mad your liberal fairy. He's gonna get acquitted.

>>15515039
Did you not read what I said. I bought made in england boots, as in doc made the way they've always been made by the same factory that makes solovairs. They're not a comfortable boot and they look bad. I only bought them because my ex kept talking about them and I needed boots so I didn't think too much about the purchase.

>>15502689
I bought these 2 years ago in the same nordstrom sale, amazing boots that age like fine wine if you take care of them. I brought the Chromexcel Leather ones though,

>>15517565
I know, already have those same gaiters, but can't find any boots which are kind of half brown leather half black

Despite what anons say for me it's Dr Martens because they look good and I get compliments on them and that is all I need, plus they are well worn in which does add to the character.
