Cork is a shit quality filling. Only use leather and linen fabric for layer sandwiching.

just make your own boots

Recently bought those.

Is there any fit that dark brown/chestnut can go with? Anything at all?
>Hard mode: no dark blue pants/jeans

just got myself a pair of generic black combat boots. Really like the shape, sleek but not weirdly thin like thursday's, they're a bit on the bulkier size but no bigger than standard boots I guess

>>17221891
I saw a scan of an old RM Williams catalogue. I think they used to call this colour "nigger brown."
There definitely was a brown they called that, at least.

>>17221831
Back to cork general you go

>>17221891
i wear this shit with black jeans who gives a fuck haha its a really dark brown in real life

>>17222024
>brown with black
imma throw up rn

>>17221831
there's a cork general for your bullshit and you know it.

nigs thicc kiltie

Basedshit weston shilling blake rapid construction. I want to smash his face into an anvil so badly.

>>17222139
There is absolutely nothing wrong with blake rapid, it's just as durable as GYW and it's resoleable
Blake rapid is just as good as GYW because the part of the shoe that comes in contact with the ground is completely detachable and resoleable without affecting the rest of the shoe

>>17222146
Nothing wrong. Yes, but calling it better than GYW, or shilling that it is built better than bespoke boots is peak ignorance.

>>17222139
he was raving over that shit like it was the second coming of jesus. desu I wouldn't be surprised if we see him partner with a brand to do something like it. the only explanation is that he has something in the works and is trying to drum up interest

>>17222153
Congrats on discovering that Rose Anvil is just another youtube clown whose "business model" for lack of a better term is to shill what their sponsors give them and clickbait for views and likes
The actual content isn't important, only the engagement with the content. 99% of his viewers cannot afford half of what he reviews so he tells them what they want to hear, namely that cheap shit like Thursday boots and Blake stitched boots are "totally just as good, trust me guise" as objectively better options
So then the pajeets and broke college students just starting out with better clothing choices think "wow this guy is on to something, better like and subscribe" and now Rose Anvil has suckered more people into giving him clicks. Remember he makes his money off their clicks and getting them to open his affiliate links
The actual content of his channel is completely irrelevant. He'll cut open dogshit and tell you it's great if he can Jew you into believing it

>>17222269
desu the early boot cutting vids weren't this bad because he acknowledged he really could only talk about leather quality. the appeal is a standardized format where you get to see what inside with a short description of each part. the issue now is hes talked to nigs pr department and thisnkels he know what goes into making a boot when by the most recent video he has less knowledge than the average /boot/ autist

he needs to cut the shilling and half of the shit and just go back to heres a shoe, heres a shoe in half, here are the bits. dont comment on what's good or not because he doesnt know how to get that across properly

need a new boot for the farm, what are your thoughts on the midland from tecovas? squaretoe, lined 12” boot

already have 3 pairs of white’s (2 smokejumpers, one springheel logger caulk), I just want something that I can slip on and muck stalls or chop firewood in and still hop on the motorcycle and go to the store

>>17222285
He went from doing something as a hobby to make videos for a niche group of autists to making it his job that he takes seriously, which means clickbait, shilling and lies
The worst thing that can happen to a good youtube channel is it gets too big. Trenton and Heath was really cool in the beginning because it was two corporate dudes who just loved tinkering with shoes and fixing them so they made a shop to doing paid reviews of Thursday boots and collaborating with Nigs on the ugliest boots you've ever seen

>>17222292
What were they thinking!?!

>>17222299
remember these were so bad that nigs had to let people get it in full smooth or full roughout

I really want these boots

Anyone have experience with Enzo Bonafe? I know it's a "top tier" shoemaker but sometimes things change and quality falls off a cliff.

>>17222325

>>17222325
EB is widely considered as one of "the best", you can't go wrong with them. But they're also expensive as fuck and you could get something made "the right way" for a lot cheaper. I'd only get them if I had fuck-you money

I feel like the leather laces are too much now and I should go back to the brown cotton laces

Just recently got a pair of surplus jungle boots (genesco brand 1968) and read online about the sole wearing down somewhat quickly, what could be done to mitigate this? I’ve seen some people saying a sole conditioner would help is this true?

>>17222366
Post a pick with the cotton ones so we can see

>>17222382
dont have one with the kiltie in and I'm too lazy to do more lacing

>>17222422
The kiltie is retarded and ugly and the cotton laces look better

>>17221858
fucking yikes

>>17222235
pretty sure thats not how you install kilties lad

>>17222425
>The kiltie is retarded and ugly
r00d
its staying because the tounge is too thin. the same pair in a different leather fits fine but the moose is way too floppy

>>17222427
pretty sure you just throw them at the boots to install. idk they didnt send instructions

>>17221858
Lol

>>17222325

>>17222531
What the fuck

On new shoes I usually apply a layer of renovateur and wax straight out of the box for protection (since god knows how long it's been since that piece of leather was made)
It never really sticks the first time, I wear them a couple of times and then reapply. It also gets rid of scuffs etc. The second time the wax really makes a layer and that seems to protect against most things.

>>17222476
it's ok for the price
I guarantee you 99% of people in these threads have absolutely no need for a gyw boot yet they persist in wasting 500$ on clown boots because of their autism

>>17222500
>glued garbage that shit the bed in a few months 3 stars

>>17222551
>glued shit with fake heel stacks for the low low price of €170

>>17222565
>glued shit

I thought it was blake stitching?

>>17222590
blackstone boots are glued shit, typical of fashion offerings

Am I supposed to walk like a retard in these? At this point they're pretty broken in, and heel slippage is minimal, but I'm not sure, maybe I never learned how to walk properly.
Which sucks, cause I love how these look, but I find myself wearing them only a few days a year, when there's snow laying around.

thinking about coping these after being told I need slimmer boots for the tapered look

>>17222590
Lol

>>17222590
despite being the obvious choice for cheaper shoes Blake stitching is kinda rare
mostly because brands want to just melt that shit on in most cases

>>17222615
Are you a boy
or a girl

He literally just needs to condition his boots and stoo whining. That leather can be old and dry. You'd think people would have realistic expectations when buying cheap shit but this is 100% on the owner

Why do people make shark skin boots? It looks completely like testicle

Only kind of special leather I've ever seen look good is kudu

>>17222756
Ild men like their scrotum footwear.

But plenty of special leather can look totally fine. As long as you consider anything other than grain-side-up cow leather to be special

>>17222760

My questions are serious. I don't know much about shoes/boots. I just think visually they look good.

>>17222756
durable, novelty.

>>17221931
>>17222488
are there boots that look like that in the same price range that are better quality then? thursdays have a massive heel which I hate

those blackstones look really good not gonna lie

>>17222770
nice, nurgle shoes. look at them blackheads

I can't decide if the fake welt on the Velasca boots is cringe or not.

>>17222756
Mine look great and every girl that notices them has complimented them

>>17221858
nice bait anon

>>17222790
Those are all literally hallmarks of cheapness. It's like they tried to make them look cheap. Anyone who knows anything about boots at all will instantly be able to tell you're an unwashed phillistine.

>>17222790
>Is that bad?
padding in general is bad

>Shoes can't have decoration or extra things purely for stylistic reasons?
its ugly, more holes in the leather to leak, and usually its to hide cheaper small panels of leather

>Are those bad?
yes fake plastic welt indicates they're trying to make a cheap cemented boot look more expensive by adding a welt. fake heel stack does the same thing

>>17222807

>>17222938
post those disasters

>>17222959
I dont have a phone, but I got them 2 years ago from my mom. THey are just the shiny black leather and just a few scuffs but nothing really damaging i wear them in a city. I also kicked a homeless person in the face with them

>>17222790
These are bad but if you want the real deal you have to pay a lot more money.
Some people are fine buying new $150 pair of shoes every 2 years. Others just want one $700 pair to take care of forever.

Does cordovan cream (neutral) get rid of scuffs or do you need to use colour creams?

>>17222926
>same price range that are better quality

Well then the blackstones are good for their price since apparently there are no better options.

Also I don't like whites, bulky american clown boots.

>>17222978
nah not good in any way

>>17222960

if anything, I'd take advantage of the shoepassion sale going to right now. gyw boots going for less than 200 eur

where would be the best place to sell my Red Wing 3343s? 11D. I'm downsizing my collection.

sorry goyim your post has been deemed misinformation

>>17223023
i remember someone wrote something along the lines of "the cost of a resole on my thursdays is almost as much as just buying another new pair", and that comment was axed a short while after.
Goes against their little marketing of "you can even resole our boots!" implying if they're even worth doing and the entire rest of the boot hasn't worn to shit already.

>>17222721
You were probably just wearing massive chunky derbies/boots with enormous lug or doc soles, as is the current trend. You don't have to go full slimshit, just try wearing something more middle-of-the-road. Take a look at White's 55 last for starters.

>>17221858
that was a "yikes" from me even before I spotted the zipper.

Is there such a thing as a western/cowboy boot that don't have high heels? I love the look of them, but I can't get over the fact that they look so "high-heeled". These are 45mm, and it's just too much for me.

Is wearing leather boots in rain a bad idea? I haven't been able to wear my RMs out in weeks since the rain has been constant in my area.

>>17223415
the feminine is within yourself, won't matter what boots you wear

>>17223440
let them dry properly between wears. you ARE rotating your boots right

>>17223440
Prolonged exposure to water will ruin leather, but a non-leather sole, sufficient drying time between wear (shoetrees help here), and (if appropriate) a heavy duty leather protector like Obenauf's or Sno Seal will mean the world for a pair of leather shoes.

>>17223433
get some horserumps

>>17223443
I only own one pair and they're the RMs. Forgive me.

>>17223444
>but a non-leather sole,
I went with the rubber sole option.

>sufficient drying time between wear (shoetrees help here),
I'll get one then, thanks.

>and (if appropriate) a heavy duty leather protector like Obenauf's or Sno Seal will mean the world for a pair of leather shoes.
Well I just use the conditioner RM gave me and I wouldn't dare take them into the snow or anything that extreme.

>>17223455

I'm not, that's why I don't want people to look at me like "this dude got high heels must be gay and short"
>>17223442
Even if that's the case, Id just to get boots to not accentuate that.

>>17222422

If that's your main concern, boots are the least of your problems.

>>17223464
You always have to take into concideration the opinion of others in when it comes to your public appearance.

Unless you live in the UK or certain parts of the US, most people don't take kindly to people who look gay. Just walk down the street and see some guy get viciously upset over the fact that you are wearing a color he doesn't like.
>>17223466
Its the combination of the two that will cause people to cringe. Short and high heels? Your compensating. Tall and high heels? Go back to the runway insecure man
>>17223484
Probably. But you could also argue it's a social issue as well.

>>17223489
>Probably. But you could also argue it's a social issue as well.
It's hardly a concern anymore. In a world where trannies can walk around with clothes every color of the rainbow, boots with a heel aren't going to get a second look.

>>17223489
have you tried to stop looking so gay and short

Anyone tried Nick's Boots? I wanted something a step up from Turdsday Boots but I hope to god I'll never be in Spokane and don't want to blind buy $500+ custom boots.

I'd agree, but once again that's mainly in very liberal areas. Live in a place where it's more neutral or normal, and you'll still find people who will get repulsed by your mere sight if it isn't palatable. And that can lead to many things.

What's your opinion on willow-grain Horween shell cordovan boots?

I know Gaziano & Girling, Meccariello and Enzo Bonafe can offer the option. Obviously these are in the $1500-2000+ range so it's a bit excessive. Not sure if any other brand can do it.

>>17223952
the proprietary outsole thing seems like an issue for newer brands with special snowflake lasts
it kinda sucks that that means losing the ridgeways on the 602

desu between the seconds that went up the other day in a """custom leather""" and the new soles I wonder if the boots will still have that same appeal

this is really common with unit soles. ae does this too. you cant 360 stitch a unit sole even if youd want to and even with a 270 welt it would be untidy or unnecessarily difficult to line up. you just stich on the missile then glue to that. it actually works well and makes sole replacement by even the most retarded cobblers possible

if the trend is over why do you need to shill in /btg/

Would you wear these shell boots with jeans?
Cords?
Chinos?

I don't even know why I'm asking since I own zero pairs of jeans

cords, flannels, heavyweight tweeds and chinos

looks fine to me

h8 the brass boot but I guess grant stone knows they can steal the red wing moc toe market by looking marginally less ridiculous

>>17224341
that's photoshopped right? right?

>>17223969
What the fuck is happening to the welt next to the cap toe

>>17224346
no it's just the worst possible angle on a very ugly boot in a large size

>>17224385
Lol nigs quality

for my cheap pair to use in rotation with my expensive pair, which of these looks better?
this?

>>17224474
>cheap pair to use in rotation with my expensive pair
how to end up with a with a pair you like less but have to wear to justify the purchase
I still have to wear my florsheim despite being a leather insole convert

>>17224197
If the trend is over then thank God. Less normies if always better for everything except prices.

>>17224492
lol
what do whites and voters cost now that they're popular?

>>17224385
there is a "bump" on the welt where the vamp and cap toe leathers overlap in the stitchdown
but they don't overlap at the front of the welt, because the vamp leather does not reach all the way over the toes, meaning if you removed the cap toe leather your toes would be showing
it's a faux cap toe like most fashion boots
this is a very bizzare choice for a "work boot", fashion boots do it because you don't have two layers of leather at the front, making it look bulky and clownish
but here you have a very distinct line half way across the cap toe, where the thick vamp leather ends
it's so abrupt you can see the waxes being displaced over it in the waxed flesh, it looks really weird and angular
for all the talk about "WORLDS TOGHEST BOOT, so overbuilt, co compromises" they pull shit like this, lmao even red wing has real cap toes

>>17224567
so go whites instead? what are the best boots in the 300-600 range?

>>17224577
white's are really good
their mp is the most comfortable boot i own

>>17224577
Whites are right

>>17224567
Damn yeah I see exactly what you're talking about. Nigs is going downhill super fast it seems like, I need to buy another pair of White's before they hike up their prices again.

God imagine paying for NOTHING. They're not made with soecial materials. They're not made by special people. The brand sells cheap sneakers with the same logo. You get fucking nothing

>>17224584
>>17224586
What should I get for my first pair? I really shouldn’t be spending that much on boots, but the only reasonable lower priced options seem like red wing boots and I’ve seen too many fags wearing them or luchesse roper boots and the shaft is too wide for my liking. Thinking about engineer boots, mps, smokejumpers or packers

>>17224864
not the semi dress?

I’m talking about buying whites fag. I don’t even want cap toe boots because people might think they’re red wings, though I like that they lessen creasing.

Kyle we will turn you into a pair of engies if you fuck up the thread title again

Are there traditionally made boots without a retarded heel that fucks up your posture/back? Plus if they also have a wider toe box.

>>17225440
this is one of those cases where a question is asked in the wrong kind of ignorance so it's not worth answering

>>17225477
If you think heels are good for you the only ignorant one here is you.

>>17225440
Don't pay attention to heeltards.

>>17225498
I got Meermin boots, they're pretty good, it would be great if I could get something like that but without heels, something similar to altra or vivobarefoot but with a traditional contrstruction.

Could boots be a good option for someone with big wide feet?

>>17225528
Traditional constructions have heel, short, but still heel.
If you want completely flat shoes but made traditionally, look into turnshoes (medieval shoes).

>>17225486
>If you think heels are good for you the only ignorant one here is you.
then why the fuck are you in a thread asking asking for recommendations for traditionally made shoes that traditionally include a heel
help me out there because I dont know what the fuck you want? do you want a driving loader with a 6in shaft or some shit?

tell people whatever the fuck you think traditional construction is then tell us the heel height you're looking for instead of shit posting

>>17225535
yeah. if you're withing the normal range then grant stone has a decent EEE width selection. beyond that you may have to look at mto. the PNW makers offer some ridiculous widths that would fit even the most voluminous of natural snowshoes

what is your experience with "HORWEEN™ GENUINE SHELL CORDOVAN"

There's a website, RedWingHeritageCanada, ostensibly selling red wing boots but with prices that are obviously way too low. Hate to ask a stupid question, but it has to be a scam, right? The entire website has been up for months and has the Red Wing trademark logos on full display, etc. the fact it hasn't been taken down is the only reason I'm bothering to ask. Besides the prices, it looks like a legitimate website.

>>17224693
bump also interested

no its totally legit and you've just found a treasure trove of the hard to come by right now rw heritage boots at extremely low prices. it even has the rw logo pngs!

>>17225655
it's popular for a reason. it's a great

>>17225701
do they kill horses for it

>>17225676
use google and don't be afraid to open reddit.

>>17225715
nope, just like they don't kill cows for leather. it's a byproduct of the food industry

>>17225715
leather don't fall of animal like leaves from tree

I will literally never use Reddit

>>17225676

Do you have any arguments or are you just sperging?

all leather is byproduct of the meat industry

>>17225801
>hurr durr i want traditional but not the traditional features of a boot

>>17225802
Yes, I like the materials and the handcrafting but heels are retarded and fuck up your back so the industry would benefit a lot from updating the design of boots so they are healthy.
I don't know why you people sperg so much, it's not something unheard of, altra, vivobarefoot etc. already exist and they already make boots, just not with traditional materials or construction methods?
Do you geniuses think you can't make a goodyear welted leather sole without a heel or something?
I really do not understand why my request elicits this response, it's like you're robots and can't think with your own head.

>>17225440
What's wrong with heels?
Is it because they're too tall? Is stacked leather too rigid?

>>17225821
he's worried a inch of leather makes him look like a tranny

>>17225814
you start with the incorrect premise that any heel fucks your back up.

>>17225821
Have you people really never heard of this thing called posture and how it affects your spine?
>>17225837
Yes, a correct premise. If you were supposed to wear heels you would have a heel on your feet. There is no way around it, heels lead to bad posture, which leads to back problems. This is a medical fact.

>>17225849
if your premise is correct explain the entire shoe industry

>>17225849
>If you were supposed to wear heels you would have a heel on your feet

Of all the things you could have said, that is such a fucking retarded reasoning. Strip your clothes and go live in the jungle like you're supposed to do then, fucking retard.

the kilties help a lot. very comfy
10/10 recommend bugs kilties if you want to adjust your fit slightly

>>17225884
this. kilties help with lace bite too

>>17225849
Many heels out there can fuck you up if the last is not built right, or extreme heels from women shoes.

But not all heels are bad. Just go look for shorter heels boots. Tradtionally, welted, constructed footwears are made with a heel. That’s how it has been.

>>17225866
What are you even trying to say?
I'll give you a few facts.
- heels look good and people are narcisist
- people who want comfortable shoes do not buy leather boots or shoes with heels
- people who buy traditionally made boots do it either because they want to look good or because they are obsessed with handcrafted shoes

There isn't a single person who isn't delusional that goes " oh yeah these boots with a 3 cm heel are so comfortable I love wearing them and hiking in them all day". I did and it became a terrible experience pretty fast.
>>17225883
Cretin, the presence or lack of clothes doesn't affect your posture. Use your fucking brain before calling people names.
>>17225889
I understand that but the industry never moved on. It's not like boots were always made the same way, there was no goodyear welting in the 800's, now that we know how bad heels are the industry can improve upon the design. Take your average hiking boot, for example, they don't have heels, they have a lifted sole and a recess before the back part of the sole to mimic a heel and provide grip, or they have none at all.
The industry stopped evolving because leather shoes were abandoned and now it's been revitalized by hipsters that only care about looking cool.

>>17225915
>- people who want comfortable shoes do not buy leather boots or shoes with heels
incorrect. explain how whites are the most comfortable for multiple different anons ITT

>>17225915
you bought shitty ill fitting boots made with shitty materials once and changed you're entire view on shoes
lol

>>17225915
>Use your fucking brain before calling people names

lmao dumb nigger, just say "big heels are bad for posture" instead of coming up with "hurr we don't have heels on our feet so we're not supposed to have them" because that's so insanely asinine that if you don't understand your fallacy you're probably actually retarded

>>17225440
>comes into a thread full of people who like boots
>calls "retarded" a classic feature of boots, implying all those people's tastes are retarded
>doesn't understand why people lash back at him

only autism explains this lack of social awareness

>>17225915
Post said hiking boots. A raised portion is still basicallly a heel.

I think your view stemmed from never having a well fitting pair of leather shoes.

Plenty of people get shoes with heel, 20-30cm height and still be comfortable walking all day.

>>17225915
I literally have not had back problems since I switched from shitty flat shoes to White's with arch support

>>17225927
I already addressed that, it's clear that you are delusional.
>>17225929
Look at the shape of your foot and look at the shape of your boot. It doesn't take a genius but you're definitely trying your hardest to look stupid.
Here's what comfortable boots made to follow the shape of your feet look like.
>>17225941
You convenientely left out the part where I said that I love boots and I gave a reason for heels to be retarded.
>>17225937
Actual retard.
>>17225946
That one is a Aku slope but you could basically take any other boot by other brands like salomon, salewa, Lowe etc.

Nigger just buy some decent used Allen Edmonds off ebay, poshmark. I just got some for 40$. Broken in and barely worn.

>boot heel height doesn't affect gait
>therefore doesn't affect posture

>>17226238
not him, but the larpers here are fuckin' weird. I get brand loyalty is a thing, but to deny that something put on your feet absolutely can't affect posture is just asinine.

Type of footwear changes foot position, which changes gait, which changes posture. Who'd even deny this? Larpers, that's who.

>everything is a smokejumper with a 12in heel

zerodropfags are the vegans of footwear

PNW cum gurgling Larpers don't care about being /fa/, they just want to collect boots like hypebeast.

>>17226316
you're the only one here exaggerating, jackass.
I wear boots with heels, but I'm not obtuse enough to claim that it doesn't change the alignment of my body as a result. I feel it, the difference is there.

Imagine being so out of tune with your body that you can't actually feel anywhere else in your body that there is an actual difference when you stand/walk with boots on as opposed to being bearfoot/zero drop.

You larpers are weird af

>>17226320
Bold of you to assume anyone here can afford one pair, let alone multiple.

Notice how the fag spamming Wesco in every thread only posts photos from the web.

>>17226323
I didnt ask
I dont care

Is it expensive to have a cobbler change the eyelets on my boots? they're a bright chrome colour and I'd like them to be darker/black. I guess trying to paint them in any way is a dumb fucking idea

>>17226357
iron ranger?

>>17226357
you can do it yourself with pliers and a hammer.

I have theory that americans are so fat, their back and hips gave out early. That's why they need high heel like a crutch to correct. their posture

>>17226326
So you are saying not only they are shills, they are also poorfags.

>>17226379
a high heel doesn't "correct" anything. It's the damned opposite.
It's boot wearers that have sense of body awareness that makes them oblivious to the change that it causes, and for the worse.

>>17226384
For what it worth, the high heel high arch combo of PNW boots do shift your posture.
Not that I argue that it is good for anyone but weak americans.

>>17226409
giving yourself an anterior pelvic tilt from wearing a heal doesn't help anyones body. It comes down to ones capacity to actually feel it screwing with their pelvic and spinal alignment, of which most larpers have no idea
