id on the boots?

>>15845372
Boots on concrete..... jesus

>>15845931
IKR, imagine not changing into sneakers before stepping onto concrete, ngmi for sure.

>>15845372
I already have. If you went to my instagram you would see fits like my crepe sole Red Wing boots with cuffed raw Japanese denim, and a Pendleton flannel layered over a starched white t shirt. You might see fits like mine, but I bring it together with curated accessories such as a full grain leather belt with a patinated vintage belt buckle and a Hamilton field mechanical watch on an OD NATO strap.

>>15845931
what the fuck are you talking about

I bought nice brown dms but they were way too big so I returned them

where to cop OP boots?

>>15845372
i can only wear shoes with a wide toe box

>>15845931
>what are insoles

>>15845803
Look like a beat up pair of 11 eye solovairs.

>>15845961
You forgot about the blackmemes coin purse

How to prevent chafing against the skin right underneath my ankles? I already walked 30 miles or more in them but they still rub my skin raw. Moleskin and wool hiking socks barely help.

>>15847632
Tighter laces, if that fails the admission that you bought shitty or at least ill-fitted boots.

>>15847632
Thick socks, bandaids over the trouble spot, tighter lacing (straight lacing is great for this), insoles...

Does anyone even wear button boots?

I just got Solovair 8 eyelet derby boots because some guy on youtube said the materials were pretty good.

I tried to get a military mirror shine on them but it's taking more work than anticipated.

>>15847543
boots are probably great for you then

>>15847632
get smaller boots
the chafing is caused by movement of your heel and ankle in the boot

>>15848226

dude i want a pair but wanna know, how do they fit? i wear an 8 or 81/2 in most shoes like vans, but in birkenstocks i wear euro size 39

do solovair fit big or tighter in the toebox? any slipping on the ankles? nice shine btw

>>15848450
I’m a TTS 11.5 and got my Solovair Englanders a half size down.

>I want to destroy my feet: the thread
Guys, don't do this. Boots are like high heels for women, but just more robust. Don't do this to your feet, and if you do, only wear them as much as needed then change over to a better shoe for foot health.

>>15845378
Shit bait

>>15848450
Toe box is wide and tall but the length is true to size. They are available in half sizes. I have a narrow foot but the instep is nicely contoured.

If I were to buy boots again I would get the 6 eye brogue boot as pictured.

>>15848703
Stop lying you faggot pussy

>>15848703
he is right
>>15849826
you are uneducated, and retarded.

>>15848703
Joke's on you homo all my boots are zero drop.

>>15849850
What brand? Every zero-drop boot I have ever found has a sole that is too thin so I cannot wear them on dangerous surfaces.

>>15849888
Get stronger feet, homo.

>>15845372
>uncomfortably tight on calf/shin, and toes
>uncomfortably loose on heel and midfoot
wtf am I doing wrong

>>15849891
I'm not talking about pebbles and twigs. I'm talking about places with glass, nails, jagged rock, etc.

>>15849920
Having normal feet and toe splay and leg muscle development. Unironically. That's your problem.

Bros I have a problem. I got a nice pair of solovairs for christmas, really like them. But on the right foot, at the bottom of the tongue where it's sewed onto the vamp, that line of stitching is fairly tight and uncomfortable, it really digs into my foot. Do you reckon that's something that will loosen up as the boot breaks in or should I try to go a half size up before I wear them any more?

>>15850203
It won't loosen up. Go bigger or get another pair.

>>15850203
Just mess with the lacing, the sizing is fine

Are Solovair shoes worth the price? I’m getting tired of chink shoes that falls apart after 3 months of use

>>15850457
>goodyear welt
>wooden shank
>thicker leather than Docs
I have yet to break my boots in, and I think that says something about the quality. They feel very robust. I could curb stomp someone in these boots.

>>15848220
Honestly the first time I've seen them in years.
I doubt they could be cinched comfortably

>>15845372
When are you going to take the Derby pill? No reason to wear boots over dress shoes unless you're going into deep snow or a cavalry charge

>>15848226
Rubber sole 2/10

>>15850921
lol its pvc faggot

>>15845372
Do boots look good on me even if I'm short?

>>15850918
Naw man, it's pretty wet and shitty alot of places. If you live anywhere it snows, that shit ain't gonna be gone before you have to be out and about.

>>15849736
>Toe box is wide and tall
Thank God. Sweet relief for my caveman feet

>>15850475
>boots taking long to break in means its good quality

I'm eyeing solovairs, but they resemble docs, and I do t want anyone to think I got no yellow sticking docs.

>>15845394
Kek

>>15851240
>I do t want anyone to think I got no yellow sticking docs.
what did he mean by this

>>15848226
Nice.

>>15848450
Solovair have a chart on their site for measuring your foot and then converting the mm to their sizes. I followed it and it was A-OK

>>15851491
>working man's boot
>FSC
lmao

looking for a boot that would go with the coat in picrel in some casual fits. of what i currently own, i would only consider wearing my black MIE docs and a dark brown pair of Allen Edmonds higgins mill (rather not wear brown shoes with black). so i’m looking for a black leather boot that’s not combat/milsurp or too high-fashion

Here we go, ordered pic related
Do not disappoint me solovair

>>15851862
If I saw sonmeone wearing these
I would slap them in the face
with a sticker that says "nice boots bro good cop"

>>15849850
What boots do you wear?

cop or not?
looking for a cheaper alternative to the Rick Owens mega bozo tractor boots desu

I only wear cowboy boots.

>>15847632
Double socks

>>15851862
I don’t get the appeal of these, they look like the kind of footwear a nerd kid from a 70s movie about the 50s would use

>>15845803

i think they're 10 eye virginia docs

PLZ HELP BOOTBROS
i forgot to condition my boots for 6 months and they've started flaking (like picrel but with no cracks at all), i can see the shape of the flakes if i bend the leather a bit. all i've done so far is just conditioning them with buckets of cream and i want to use some dyed cream too later.
are my boots ruined irreparably?
the leather is good btw, they're loakes

>>15845372
Need to beef my legs up some more so a pair of hikers doesn't make me look like a joke.

>>15849850
What zero drops do you recommend? I've got a pair of bellevilles that I like, but the glue is starting to fail around the edges of the soles.

boots get you bitches

>>15845372
>not lacing boots properly

Try again

>>15846373
Cool story

>>15848226
They are already shiny straight from the factory. Also because the way they treat the leather in a way that's kinda like patent leather you can't really shine them conventionally

>>15853127
they look like rubber rain boots. try with reps, those ricks are too unique
