color comparison

I'm looking at Grant Stones but I can't decide between any of the boots. I like the Brass, Cap toe, Diesel, and Ottawa

Did I get the wrong size shoe? Went to redwings today and bought a size 11 boot. Guy sized me as 12W and said I should go as an 11 because it should be snug and will be uncomfortable for a while, but it would be worn in to a better fit.
It's been comfortable for the past 8 hours. Think it's worth going back for a 10.5 or are people just babies about the whole blisters and feet hurting thing?

>>17096638
it varies from person to person. are you happy with the fit currently?

>>17096584
top profile looks better. that side profile is pure wack

>>17096648
Seems fine. I don't have much to compare them with. These are the first pair of shoes I've honestly spent this much money on. I've always just purchased from thrift stores

>>17096660
Proper fitting boots should feel like a firm handshake, no slipping or sliding around, especially around the heel. The boot should flex at the widest part of the shoe

>>17096648
>that side profile is pure wack
the strong line from the moc is the best part

Hey guys recc me a vintage style men's boot please. I'm having difficulty finding any good ones

>>17096726
Whites smokejumpers. the design hasn't changed since early 1900

>>17096729
Too expensive unfortunately

>>17096726

Anon, how often do you clean and condition your boots?
I’ve had mine since November last year and haven’t done anything to them. Granted I only wear them during the weekends (work insists black footwear) and now summer has began I wear them maybe once a week on a Sunday. I doubt I’ll wear them during the height of summer and then it’ll have been nearly a year. The leather seems not too dry - should I clean and condition them?

>>17097069
Condition them twice a year, especially when you buy them because you don't know how long they've been in storage.
Polishing cream covers any scratches and stuff because it has pigment in it.
Wax for that nice shine and decent protection. Don't overdo it with the wax in flexible areas cause it will crack

>>17096939
imagine unironically wearing this, rofl

>>17096892
Premium leather upper
Vegetable tanned leather
Washed/dip-dyed finish
Premium leather lining
Blake-stitched leather/rubber sole
Cement construction
Ski-Hook Hardware
D'Oro Collection
Made in Italy

for the low low price of $600 you too could have PREMUIM mystery meat leather with cemented Blake soles whatever the fuck that means and ski hook hardware whatever the fuck that means.

black boot buyers man. easy to scam

I'M STILL IMPRESSED BY THIS IMAGE

>>17097313

>>17097036
at what point is it considered more thread than leather?

Brushing waxed flesh will leave scratches all over it right?

>>17097476
not if you're using horsehair

>>17096669
Alden has more pronounced lines on the moc and split. They are also handstitched.

did grant stone just raise their prices?
regular chromex boots are $380 now and suedes are $340
i remember suedes being just shy of $300

>>17097623
>They are also handstitched.
"When choosing our first two boot patterns, the Ottawa boot was a clear choice. The hand sewn moc breaks up the vamp nicely, making the otherwise broader shape of the Leo last look more aggressive."
i dont think you can machine stich a nst desu

>>17097265
I am a big fan of the Tru Balance last since it fits me really well (tall instep + wide feet). Because of this Aldens are the most comfortable boots I own so they are worth it to me even after the price increases. If you don’t prioritize the last as much when you buy boots then there are better options.

I love the redwing moc silhouette. one of the mocs I have is the black 8137. looks like patent leather, the leather feels plasticky, looks to be coated with a finish. corrected grain? tried to condition them but doesn't seem to absorb as much. do I condition the shoes from the inside? do I need to do anything different? do I need to do anything? I dont want these to crack and flake

>>17097073
Thank you, anon. I’ll condition them with cream

>>17097658
hey look its cheatah dude

why tf have neither whites nor bakers got back to me on the tracings i sent them

>>17097623
>>17097658
Alden are very comfortable boots.
These Hoffman boots have been holding up very well, far better than the Wesco pair which was more expensive. Gaffs are wearing the leather somewhat, but I just condition that part every few months to keep it from breaking.

nubuck mp

>>17097745
Very cool, anon

>>17097745
You had the leather starting to separate on your Wescos right?

Anyone know anything about HS Trask? Specifically if their shoes are welted. I just found these miUSA bison leather derbies at goodwill. The uppers feel sturdy as fuck, and the sole has most of the tread left, but it looks like its starting to separate in a few spots so I wanna know what my options are vis a vis repairs.

>>17096939
I will never not think Vibram 430 is the best sole choice.

>>17098068
nah uninterrupted heelstack is king

>>17098043
>welt but no visible midsole or stitching under

id bet money on glued

>>17098043
>>17098106
>cut stitch welt joint
yeah i'm betting fake too

>>17098106
>>17098108
Here's a closeup of where its loose if that helps diagnose it better.
Either way they were only $5 so if its a glue-on to keep them going I'm happy enough

>>17098159
another option is to tak a chance on a c*bbler and get them blake stitched

>>17098159
well those are welt stitches in there

>>17097962
Yeah, after 5% of the climbing time the Hoffmans went through with no problems the Wescos started to wear. Overall, I was very disappointed with the Wesco boots, they cost more, were less comfortable and most importantly were far less durable. For a pair of boots that cost over $600 I expected much more. Is Wesco more of a fashion brand?

>>17098189
surprised they didn't offer to fix that

>>17098172
Know any good mail-in ones? The one time I asked a cobbler to do something more complicated than apply a topy or stretch a toebox they completely mangled my favorite pair of guidis.

>>17098196
desu i dont think its worth it mailing a glued shoe to a c*bbler
if the local guy cant do it id just shoe goo it

>>17098196
mailing in is a mistake

>>17097658
I've heard Trubalance D width is like E in other bootmakers' lasts. Is this true?

>>17098189
They're supposed to be a work brand but quality is dropping everywhere, my 5 year old White's are way better than the pair I got this year. I don't wear them super hard so it's not a huge issue but it makes me wonder how good they will be in another 5 years.

>>17098257
they were foolish enough to think that they could preserve the quality of their business after being bought.

>>17098227
A lot of other makers have fairly narrow lasts so there is some truth to it. I’m an 11.5E on a brannock and my first pair of Indy’s was 11.5E and they fit like a glove with lightweight wool socks. Depending on the leather option I prefer to buy Tru Balance Aldens in 12D since width is approximately the same as a 1/2 down in E and D widths are more available. I’m also a 12D on the Barry last.

not feeling these leather laces desu. probably going to replace them with a round waxed

why do people like these?

Hey Everyone,

Andrew here and I hope you’ve been well. I wanted to take a moment to give everyone an update on things as we move into the Summer.

For the past few months, I have been posting production updates on my website. Thank you for following along and reading when you had the chance to. Without re-iterating too much of what’s already up on the website, I want to let you know my suppliers, factories, and I are all working to get production back to where it needs to be.

I have listened to your requests and feedback surrounding events related to Covid-19, supply chain and manufacturing difficulties here in the USA. I have been and continue to take measures to ensure there is not only an adequate offering of boots going into Fall, but also an upgrade in quality, build and new styles offered. Further, I will be bringing back some popular leathers and styles you have requested over the past 18 months, all on the 602 last. With the way production is going currently on these items, I anticipate being able to offer them in October.

With regards to more current timing, I am aiming to introduce some new styles in early August. Leading up to this, I will send out an email and post on social platforms when the new batch will be ready to ship to you soon.

Thank you so much for your support and for following along on this journey as we enter a new phase coming soon. If you ever need anything or have any questions, please feel free to reach out. Thanks again and have a great week

>Further, I will be bringing back some popular leathers and styles you have requested over the past 18 months, all on the 602 last. With the way production is going currently on these items, I anticipate being able to offer them in October.

Picrel is the only roughout they have on their insta. I think the thicker sole helps bridge the formality gap, though I don't like that snuff color.

So I dropped a bit of chicken on mine, and it left s little dark spot, how can I get rid of it with stuff around the house?

>>17100265
probably some very very very dilute dishwashing liquid as a spot treatment to pull that finger lickin good oil out of the leather

this is not financial advice

drop more chicken around the area to even it out

hello this is nick at stridewise.com and today were going to cover how to even out chicken grease spots on your boots

just buy vintage ones at a military surplus rather than these altama reproductions.

they were designed to be worn in the jungle. the fabric panels were for breathability and drying.

yeye it was just teh first pic i could find.

>>17100965
They look good. It's probably been asked a million times before but what is the parameme alternative that's shorter?

In the army they told us that boot polish attracts bed bugs

Is this true

>>17101176
why would it

Fuck you rose anvil now I need to buy one

Got an old pair of m1948 boots, gave them a thorough clean with some saddlesoap earlier and after I leave them to dry overnight what should I do to condition them properly? There's a fair bit of cracking around the vamp desu but it doesn't look too bad to me, I feel like if they soften up nicely and fit me they could be a good pair of countryside boots

>>17101369
>>17096333

Depends on the factory
There's Edward Green and then there's Carmina

Unironically might be better off sending your Carminas to an English shoemaker and begging them to do a resole (esp if you also send one of theirs at the same time)

Is there any budget version of Dr martens for an europoor? Whenever I use tall boots for some actual utilitarian reason (hiking winter boots, ice-skating boots) women tell me they look very good on me, so I want to take the tall boot pill, but the only minimalist design (martens) is crazy expensive

>>17103618
>budget version of Dr martens
jesus dude
look into paramames or general surplus from your country. euro armies seem to bump a lot of surplus boots

>>17103679
What are paramemes? I actually got mil surplus boots, they're the hiking boots I mentioned, but I posted them on the board and was told I would look like a total sperg for casual wear (they're in green and khaki)

>>17103700
>What are paramemes?
/fa/s favorite surplus black boot. theres a guy with a phd in paramemers that may show up and give you advice on getting them
black military boots can be pulled of in casual wear but its hard. earth tome mill boots is a nono for casual imo

>>17104009
this should have been absolutely NO MORE than $300.

It's a brand loyalty dipstick test. People buying this boot makes them know that their name now carries enough weight to have people throw away their money.

>>17104023
desu I'm not understanding how they're 550 when leather boots are 550
. even of you figure the upper is expensive to stitch and last you still skip the leather insole, leather midsole, the leather heel block is now foam, they're likely much less work to secure the sole etc.
stiching and lasting cant be that expensive. I'd say 350-400 absolute maximum

>>17104023
>>17104009
they look nice but for sure not worth it at that price

>>17104023
>>17104063
>>17104083
they're cutting material cost while charging the same price. remember that anti whites shill who insisted they sold out?

>>17104157
Are they lying when they say that rubber is slightly more expensive then leather in their YouTube video? What about the price of the top leather that’s more water resistant? They’re still handmade so all things being somewhat equal then the price should be similar

>>17104353
Does rubber break in and conform to the shape of your foot?
Can you condition rubber and make it last a long time or do you throw it away when it gets old?

>>17104376
The boots have leather uppers and rubber soles. It’s replaceable but does not conform to the shape of your feet.
Still interested in what the price difference is

>>17104353
I fell like I'm taking crazy pills here. The materials are less important than the labor/time cost. These rubber unit sole take much less time to make. Significantly less
Whites do have unit sole boots, but guess what? They are priced CHEAPER than their regular leather boots. Under $400.
Danners got 360 stichdown construction, full grain upper, synthetic bottom, and they're all around $400

I acctually prefer Nicks' machine stitch than Whites and I think they look better, but they've been doing nothing but taking Ls the last few releases.

>>17104353
they said it's the same price. ut I dont buy it
if what they say is true then the materials cost is really small in the overall price if the boot becusebthere should be a little less labor. they're not having to nail down the midsole or outsole, not having to cut heel blocks, not having to nail heel blocks etc.
if it was even 465 I'd give them the benefit of the doubt but this is definitely meant to be a thing margin earner like the whites chore boot

>>17104330
yes

>>17104353
i believe this stitchdown method is faster/cheaper than their 270

My local cobbler resoled my iron rangers with factory soles so that you couldn't tell they weren't factory boots for $100. Your shitty experience is not indicative of the entire industry.

>>17103767
They are literally garbage. I got a pair of the English made ones from a dic martens store in San Francisco and they were terrible. Fit was never right, leather was trash, no arch support. I will never buy another pair.

>>17103828
This but not the MPs and the bullshit shoes with no arch support. Get a classic arch ease last and you will notice the difference if you have back pain.

>>17103937
I tried to inquire if the wing tip could be put on a different boot because I always wanted a pair of brogue rangers but they didn't even respond. Seems like they're moving towards more bullshit too.

triangle toes arent fashionable and look dumb. only exemption is yeehaws if they ride horses

Are wedge soles effay? Cop/drop?

>>17107137
practical but ugly and too informal imo
thought it works ok visually if you want what amounts to a welted sneaker

New to decent shoes, are Redwings all they're hyped up to be? I bought an Iron whatever in black and now I'm looking for a decent brown option I can wear with jeans. Any others out there than you'd recommend?

>>17107165
>are Redwings all they're hyped up to be?
they're built well with a thick leather insole
>Any others out there than you'd recommend?
around the same price : grant stone brass, Truman if you dont mind months of waiting
assuming you want a beefier look

>>17107137
they look good on moc toes but not much else

>>17107165
>New to decent shoes, are Redwings all they're hyped up to be
they're a good babby's first boot
> now I'm looking for a decent brown option I can wear with jeans. Any others out there than you'd recommend?
blacksmiths in the briar oil slick. built on the same last as your iron rangers

If you're fat do your feet become bigger?
Wider or also longer?

>>17107941
they don't get longer. they might get a tad wider if you're really fat, but what happens most is that they get more volume, which necessitates wider shoes.

>brown boots
Y-youre joking right?

>>17097461
Lace to toe is a godly look.

they seem pretty standard
I can never understand why cemented shoes arent just Blake stitched

>>17107165
Cork sole garbage, do not buy a new pair.

>>17108184

>>17108184
Cork? Cork? MOTHER FUCKING CORK?!??!??!

>>17107165
have a few moc toes, would recommend. all other boots here are either too dressy looking or too ridiculous that I'd look like i'm cosplaying.

>>17108196
>>17108210
Yeah, their midsole filling literally turns to dust and escapes through the gaps in the midsole. I’d rather use rubber or leather with fabric in between layers to prevent squeaking. Cork is literally cheap trash, your shoes shouldn’t have any gaps if it was properly measured and made to fit you.

>>17108295
>escapes through the gaps in the midsole
u fuckin w0t m8?

>>17096333
anyone know of boots of this aesthetic, but with laces instead of a gay zipper?

>>17108354
a chelsea?

>>17108355
no, I want something with a brutalist kind of look

Chelsea boots are effeminate
You have to be either too straight or too gay to care

>>17108388
my man are you retarded?

What's a boot that can be worn both in the office and with jeans?

Is suede the only option?

>>17108420
Black Chelseas
Never suede

>>17108420
Grained leather

>>17108424
>Wearing formal colours with jeans
good one

>>17108420

>>17108420
any service boot should do imo
you just pick a sole depending on how casual you want it to be

>>17108448
I abhor that toe spring

>>17108437
>Grained leather
saw these on R*ddit
guess it could work

>>17108516
>wearing a pointy toe with jeans

>>17108518
Personally I would always buy these with a cap toe so they look more like the original (pic related)

>>17108523
wearing this with jeans would look bad

>>17108524
ehh you're probably right

show that you think your office is a muddy swamp while being better dressed than everybody in fake leather shoes by wearing stows
if a woman doesnt like you in these with some jeans then she wasnt right for you anyway
trickers stow: the boot i cant afford

>>17108537
For some reason every time I see Tricker's my mind immediately goes to wankers driving Range Rovers around town

>>17108537
I like stows and their big holes

>>17108556
idk what it is about them. there are tons of brogue boots out there with similar patterns but none of them look right

How about this boot?

Gaziano & Girling Thorpe

I haven't looked at the price, but I guess I cannot afford to buy shoes from the same shop as the British monarchs

>>17108568
I came across these in Kudu leather
not sure I like this more than the grain

>>17096333
posting some fits tell me what you think,

these are not mine

>>17108579
aslo what jeans do you think

Dyel

>>17108582
A reminder that if you get leather soles for your shoes (why on boots?) then you must also add metal toe taps, otherwise the toes will wear out very fast and look sloppy like pic related.

Better to just stick to rubber soles for boots and thin rubber soles for your dressier shoes as well, save the leather soles maybe for your single pair of super formal black cap toe oxfords. Even then no one really cares if you go rubber.

>>17108582
i'm old-school so i would like to see your jeans hit about an inch lower on the boot but otherwise great fit and nice shots

>>17108582
levis 510 is a better boot fit than 501 imho
but a true boot cut is wranglers

>>17108586
i prefer the black boot to the brown
seems more versatile for mixed groups and less gentleman cowboy

>>17108597

not me in the photo but I like the mel gibson, johnny utah look of the casual with cowboy boots

>>17108604

That colour of dark brown goes with basically everything except black

When Grant Stone says their shoes run large what does that mean? Is the toe box wider? Are they longer?

>>17108653
>>17108653

delet that shit son

got a pair of my grandpa's old boots.

>>17108643
>what does that mean?
tl;dwr: welted shoes can run small

moat people oversize thier sneakers for some reason but leather welted shoes need to fit properly because theres no sponge to smooth out the fit. you likely need to go .5 down from your sneaker size to get a proper fit. this is true for most welted shoes. I'd recommend reading thier last/fit guide for guidance becyse when you start playing with widths that also adjusts the size you need. eg.you can wear an 11d or a 10.5e somewhat interchangeably

>>17108665
>z*ppers
I have bad news for you, your grandpa was a gay

thinkin about gettin some blundstones.. i just want a chelsea boot i can throw on and go.

>>17108691
RM Williams instead

>>17108694
Too expensive

>>17108697
Have you tried the age old trick of saving up and not being poor?

But seriously as an owner of both the RM is super slick and leagues ahead

>>17108691
Carmina makes damn good chelsea boots but they're dressier.

what do we think about this, lads?
>inb4 sneakers
they're leather and they're from Baker's. I wouldn't be asking otherwise

>>17108724
I own a pair, they're pretty good despite being mystery mutt mexican leather

>>17108726
m8, they literally just came out on Bakers.

>>17108670
I have a pair of GYW shoes and half size down from my sneakers did the trick. Should I just use that?

>>17108732
*leans real close to the mic*
WRONG

they've been on the bakers exclusive page for a couple months now, i think they forgot to advertise it

i got pic related. nice reddish shade of brown. the cup outsole is stitched all the way through the shoe. while there is a veg tan insole it's only around 1-2mm thick, the rest is the rubber outsole

>>17108737
When in doubt just send an email

I emailed TLB and the owner himself replied and asked me to measure my feet on a piece of paper and take photos of my wearing other brands

My shoes aren't here yet so I can't say if he got it right yet, we'll see.

>>17108743
>they've been on the bakers exclusive page for a couple months now, i think they forgot to advertise it
I sit corrected. Do you have pics?

I need some sort of sneaker, as I don't own any. I was just waiting for a pair to catch my eye that wasn't just made of mesh and foam material. I may get these Baker's just to own sneakers.

>>17108756
uh i might snap a pic of them maybe if you ask nicely

>I need some sort of sneaker, as I don't own any. I was just waiting for a pair to catch my eye that wasn't just made of mesh and foam material. I may get these Baker's just to own sneakers.
are you literally me? i went through the same thought process and made the jump to buy them back in may. pretty happy with them
