first reply, I just broke this thread's hymen. Anyone else who posts after me is getting my sloppy seconds, my leftovers.

Just remember that the first reply is the most special reply and you'll never experience this thread the way I did and this thread will never feel the way it felt about me about you.

It's Over ,you might as well just go post on Reddit and talk about how much of a "man" you are for replying on a thread that I pump and dumped. Have fun with my scraps, cucks

How are leather laces? I’ve been using the flat waxed ones on my MPs

>>17329488
nice

>>17329497
leather for less lace bite

>>17329497
Not the biggest fan of leather laces but they look better with them. Plus the flat ones that come with them are too short.

Where do you guys buy laces anyway?
The flat ones that came with the Vibergs are amazing, I'd like to buy more

I can't quite remember but I don't think I paid customs taxes when I ordered my soloshitters. I just ordered from TUK too, and they say they cover it. If I get charged anything I'll ask for a refund. Actually I think the post office might charge me for taking my package from customs and deliver it to me, but that might be a my cunt thing too.

finally a decent looking boot from nigs

My Whites MPs are just slightly tight against my my little toe and I've worn them enough that I don't think they'll stretch any. It's not tight enough to be painful or anything. Can they be mechanically stretched a tiny bit? Will it fuck up how they look at all?

>>17329782
if c*lastic = no
if unstructered toe = yes

>>17329784
>c*lastic = no
I don't know what that means

>>17329792
iirc the MPs have a celastic (plastic) toe cap. push down on the cap and feel if there's a stiff plastic resistance. if there is then nothing can be done

>>17329794
Seems to flex fine. Thanks anon

>>17329799
if no celastic you can double sock a shoe tree and shove it in after wearing (to warm the leather up). it might help

My Red Wing work boots (not heritage) that I wear to work everyday have split at a seam on the side and I'll have to leave them for at least a week to get repaired (if they can be). I need to get something to wear in the meantime or maybe for good. Anybody have any experience with Thorogood, Redback, or Blundstone slip on boots? Trying to not spend a ton of them, they just need to be safety toe. The place I work for pays $100 towards a shoe purchase

does anyone make a reasonably priced (not 500+) chukka (or lower) boot? I know it's probably played out as fuck but the shitty pair I had finally died and I forgot how perfect the height when paired with a bunch of my pants.

I'll consider something more expensive if it's part of a core collection that I could theoretically buy in a year or two. I'm not opposed to the cost, I just know what I'm working with at the moment

I know fashion brand boots like this are usually pretty bad quality, but will they literally fall apart after a year of serious wear? Found these to be more comfortable than my hiking boots while hiking and climbing.

>>17329849
why waste time money and comfort getting a few shitty pairs when you can start with something good in the first place

>>17329852

buying a pair of iron rangers tomorrow. there is a local shop nearby and it seems like a good starter boot.
i know conditioner is a must. anything else i need to maintain? Horse hair brush I saw in the sticky. Shoe trees
Is this something I should buy at the store tomorrow or can i buy cheaper some where else?

>>17330012
Please do not buy those

>>17330012
the info is literally in the OP

>>17330012
cheapo horse hair brush from amazon, shoe tree from woodlore maybe. Wear thick boot socks, get sized and try a bunch of sizes on there but don't let them tell you that its fine if they are "snug", size up. Then don't buy at the store and wait for a sale pr a good deal online. Also don't forget that those boots need rest, rotate them and don't wear them daily for too long.

>>17330022
>Also don't forget that those boots need rest, rotate them and don't wear them daily for too long.
this. gonna add this to the OP

>>17330012
just buy em and wear em
its retard proof oiltan
just condition in a year when it looks dry

>>17329882
a warning to all the manlets out there with childrens sized feet to not go with the double row stitch, because your boots will look like flippers
also the double leather midsole doesn't give you that much height just makes them look ridiculously bulky
the midsole is almost as thick as the heel stack
and yes everyone can see you're trying to compensate with these boots
also hem your selvedge if you're that short that even double folding gives you these gigantic cuffs

>>17330022
>but don't let them tell you that its fine if they are "snug", size up
Wrong. You probably like loose boots because they remind you of your mom, but everyone knows that leather stretches over time and wear. If you buy them roomy out of the box, they will, after some time, fail to stabilize your feet, especially on uneven ground.

i messaged whites for help with picking a size for the chore boot and ive still yet to receive a reply. ill try here, could always return them and try again.

Left foot Length
11 3/4

Left foot width (bit trickier since i couldnt get someone to help me with measuring)
11'

Right foot length
11 1/4

Right foot widthciate your help
11 1/8

>>17330124
The boots shouldn't be tight at all, it will only get worse after wearing for a few hours. Besides once you break them in and the insole conforms enough they will only fit better and not in any way more roomy even if the leather stretches.
There should always be room and boots should be comfortable from the moment you first try them on, don't fall for the snug to "break in" the footwear.

Something not overtly expensive and confortable for daily wear and work?

I would like something kind of stylish That I can wear with jeans and a coat but also comfortable for daily use since my feet are kind of fucked up

>>17330508

>>17330510
Beautiful, but I don't think they are easy to get here in spain

>>17330536
if you're in spain you might as well get something from TLB or Meermin if you're very cheap.

Are RW's synthetic insoles glued in?

>>17329981
There is not much of a price difference, TLB is maybe a little cheaper on MTOs and also cheaper (and lasted) shoe trees.

TLB is built better but has very few options.
They use top quality materials, except their shell.

Carmina is built well and has a ton of options.
They use top quality materials everywhere, including their shell.

The biggest difference is, TLB has like 2 rounded and 2 chisel lasts, with width options for each. They all fit identically, only the toe changes.
On Carmina lasts are a total gamble, with vastly different heels, instep, toeboxes etc. A total mess.

Also TLB uses leather heels. Carmina is celastic.
I'm not one to care about such things, but the heel on my Carmina boots has always been a little uncomfortable. Maybe that's why.

>>17330508
If you are very thin, a pair of black chelseas
If you are very thin and also a gay bottom, a pair of black chelseas with a chiseled, square toe last
If you are normal weight and a little more conservative, a pair of black chelseas in dark brown suede. Buy Saphir's waterproof spray.
If you are fat, a US-style jumper boot. Meermin makes some. Carmina and TLB only have sleeker models.

Obviously ignore the "black" part here

>>17330857
i paid none on all my orders from C&J or Tricker's, those were more than double too.

>>17330857
I believe you
That's how much I would pay in my country too

24% VAT on the value
+ 50€ (+24% VAT) fee for the agent handling the customs
+ 10€ (+24% VAT) per day fee (they will have been in customs for at least 4-5 days before they tell you)
+ some fee for a few minor things (+24% VAT)
+ definitely a fee for causing so many fees (+24% VAT)

>>17331142

Nope, i have flat feet actually, if that counts

>>17331158
actually i love them, so they really are an option to consider, but mostly for my daily off-work life. I don't know how comfortable i will feel wearing 500euros boots to work. I work in a highway, standing up pretty much all day and walking quite a lot, it just feels like an overkill to me. How durable are they?

>>17331191
>How durable are they?
Durable and resoleable since these are goodyear welted (but do not trust Carmina to resole them they will butcher them)
But I would not wear them for outdoors work, these are not work boots.

If you have flat feet you need arch support and European brands do not really have arch suppport. You can buy inserts I guess but not sure how these work.
On the other hand American brands like Alden, Whites and Nicks are known for their arch support. But good luck finding their boots anywhere in Europe.

>>17331214

I have insoles that actually kind of correct my flat feet, so that would not be an issue in theory. I just need something comfortable and not too dressy.
I kind of love the ones you posted, been wanting something like that for years

I like also the ones in pic related, but i cannot seem to find something like that anywhere

>>17331223
That's Meermin's new "mystery meat" waxed shell cordovan, I would not touch it.
Shell is very difficult leather and it normally costs a lot of money for a reason, all the cheaper knockoffs are very low quality you are always better off just getting other types of leather that are just as cheap but not knockoffs.

If you want to go with Meermin I'd rather take their waxed kudu from CF Stead instead of this "waxed shell" from an undisclosed tannery.

Jodhpurs can look nice but you absolutely need a pair of good fitting pants that hide the buckle, the belt and buckle look very faggy in that setup, they are also made in chiseled lasts so that also contributes to that look, but if they are well used they can make a good fit

I was walking in my turdday captains in the soaked cement of LA side walks today and I almost slipped a couple times. that's it... I need REAL boots

What does

I feel like I know a fair bit about shoes but not this particular bit
It has something to do with the soles

what causes this?

>>17331634
Thank you based effay boot man. I've been desperate to know what boots are being worn in pic related too. About to send a letter to the CEOs of Gant and Wrangler asking what they are.

>>17332675
Primarily a bad last
Maybe it's an intentional styling choice

Not using shoe trees also fucks it up this way

A well made shoe should have enough toe spring to barely slide a bic pen underneath, but not a finger.
For boots it can be a little bit more but not much.

>>17332675
the toe curling up?
use
you can stop it with trees

I really think Skoak's monthly Enzo Bonafe GMTOs are a good deal to build up a wardrobe of high end shoes.

528€ plus VAT for a handwelted black captoe oxford from one of the greatest shoemakers is not a bad price at all

You gotta wait 4 months is the only downside, and no returns since it's an MTO.

>>17332684
Also forgot to say, the monthly GMTO models are always a little quirky, this one is the model with the hidden stitching
I think it looks cool but I also kinda like the stitching on traditional black captoes

>>17332677
big toe curl on a boot is traditional for hilly terrain

White's

Is this sequence correct? Clean boots > condition > brush > 1 layer wax > brush. I'm seeing some people use wax on the toe and on the back, and others on the whole boot. I suppose it's ok to wax the whole boot with one layer if you don't water shine after, because shining the areas that flex will make them crack? Was I supposed to get a neutral color cream instead of black wax?

Just copped lads.

>>17333671
I use renovateur then boot colour cream and then a clear paste

>>17333681
So I should have ordered the black cream instead of the black wax?

>>17333683
the cream is for covering scratches and stains and the wax is for shine and weather protection I think
>>17333681
this stack was recommended to me a while back on this thread

>>17333671
do you need a polish / cream? Personally only use them for dress shoes. You can do the whole boot just apply in small amounts. Ur fine with matching pigment for the cream.

my feet hurt more than usual :(

>>17333677
Wtf i literally just copped those same boots. Don't really know what to wear 'em with yet, tho. What are the pants the guy in pic related is wearing called?

>>17333671
wash with hands
dry
wax with medium soft neutral shoe creme with fingers
dry
spray water and polish with brush

>>17333840
Bit street wear for me.

I wear them with dark grey chinos, or even dark grey cargo pants, but tapered on the legs, not baggy shit stuff.

Also without the yellow stitching. And you can take that little clip thing off around them.

They are comfy, I think they look good.

>>17333671
1) Renovateur then wait 5 and brush
2) Pommadier cream, wait 5 then brush
3) High gloss wax, 1-2 coats (depending on desired shine) over the whole boot/shoe wait 5 then brush
4) (Optional) Mirror Shine/High Shine on toe with ice cube and rubbing alcohol method.

Putting a few layers of wax over the whole boot won’t lead to cracking. That takes like 10+ layers. Even just a few layers of wax with offer protection from minor scuffs and water droplets. I like to mirror shine the toes because it looks better and the more layers of wax protect from deep scuffs.

been wearing these regularly for over a year, use em as my riding boots as well. they've survived a crash extremely well. gorgeously comfy but shit for long walks. i just fuckin love em lads. gonna give a nice clean since you posted :)

>>17333895
Nice. I dd think you meant horse riding at first. I'm impressed with them so far.

>>17333671
Renovateur every 6 months or if it feels dry
Cream polish (with color) to cover up any scuffs and scratches
Wax for protection and shine. Color works better, neutral is ok.

For the first two, let them dry for a bit and then brush.

For wax, let it dry for a bit then wrap a bit of cotton cloth around your fingers (I cut strips from an old white t-shirt), then get it a little bit wet but not too much (touching an ice cube for a few seconds works well) and buff vigorously to give it a nice shine. I basically touch the ice cube a bit for every panel of the shoe to get it wet again.

If you want a mirror shine in the heel and toes (for dress shoes) then you need to apply a lot of layers of wax and do the fingering many many times.
It's more of an art than exact science, if you do it a few times you'll figure it out. Not too much pressure, maybe a bit more water, a bit more wax, it all depends on the shoe etc.

Also remember if you are trying to shine brand new shoes it will never work - same reason you should never wear brand new shoes in the rain. The pores are not open yet, you gotta wear them for a few days first.

should we run a /btg/ shoe shining competition?

Drip or drown, /btg/?

I’m keen on getting a pair of boots, but I worry I’ll look like a millennial hipster - how can I avoid that? Picrel is me, I like the tucked in nicer tee with cuffed pants thing and I’d hope to work some boots into the vibe I’ve got going, but I don’t want to look like I work at a fucking tech company.

They ship these bois from Canada or some shit?

>>17334359
I intended to order the size Viberg 12 but it looks like I got the Size 11 which is a US 12. The 11s fit with thinner socks and surprising the ball of my foot lines up so they should be fine after they break in. If ordered any other leather I’d probably size up to the Viberg 12.

So I know these boots are probably going to be dog shit quality. But they look pretty good and $50 may be worth the gamble? Or should I just look on eBay for used quality boots

>>17329385
What boot is the OP?

>>17334395
"A stylish men's chelsea boot with a squared toe. The dual elastic shaft and pull tab make this boot easy to slide on the foot. The sock lining covers a dense foam foot bed for extra comfort. The combination outsole provides a non-slim feature under the ball of the foot for traction.

Foam Insole for Added Comfort

Anyone here own a pair?

Good idea, I'm down

>>17334374
Bro those look small for you, you sure they fit?

>>17334587
what leather are those?

I have roos
quite nice, no issues, comfy last and the proprietary outsole feels pretty much the same as dainites rubber

>>17334593
They’re about the same as my 11.5E 405s. I also have a high instep and Vibergs have more widely spaced facings so it does make them seem smaller. Still debating whether to keep them so I haven’t taken them off carpet.

any decent sheerling lined boots for winter?
the only ones i could find were meermins, which i know are not quality
i know edward green has lined boots, but no way am i dragging those through rain, mud and snow, which completely defeats the point of a winter boot
i guess cheapo meermins as winter beaters could be the solution

>>17334593
>>17334646

Decided to keep them. In just a few hours of wear around the house I forgot I was wearing them with no-cushion darn toughs. The 1035 last in Viberg 11E is is shorter than my Barrie 12D but the ball seems to be in the same spot. I’m guessing since Viberg is a fashion brand they’re meant to fit more like a dress shoe without heavy socks.

Oof

>>17335008
>Oh so just like 95% of all companies. Gotcha.
you don't have to support those companies. you could save a little more and support companies doing the right things the right ways but you'd rather buy trash made overseas to save a buck

>>17335053
not worth it. you can get some whites that are just as good for less

I already have Whites. I want purple pimp boots. I also have been waiting 2 years for a nubuck Alden make-up so I guess 11 months isn’t too bad.

Ty. I wasn’t completely blown away by them but the stitching and leather clicking live up to the hype. Glad I got them for a discount.

i bought the brown solovair hikers because the black where out of stock, but now the black is back in stock. should i buy them?

>>17335105
hi giles, really like the new denim you guys are coming out with. it's cool to see IH doing slub now

>>17335118

I checked a bunch of their heavier denims, but the front and rear rises are always waaay too shallow for me.

>>17335565

>>17335569
But I thought they're biker boots.

Something decent and kind of stylish that I can wear everyday with most outfits and That I can find in regular stores for around 200€ (I can spend more if necessary)?

It rains a lot in my town so something that will be able to handle That

>>17335588
Maybe scarosso or something. I think they give 15% off on your first order.

What are more versatile for winter, brown, suede or pic related? I usually wear coats, jeans , leather jackets and sweaters, like 98% of men basically. Neutral colors and maybe some khaki

As a tall man, are there any boots that don't have such huge heels on them?

I don't need the extra height and I end up hitting my head on door frames because of them.

>>17335681
most heels are around 1in which isn't that much, most sneakers will lift you about ~0.7in as well, others a lot more.

I bought my Vibergs from them two weeks ago, ordered in the weekend, got them Tuesday.

What are the pros and cons of horsehide? I found this pic and it pretty much matches up with what I'd want (though I might go with khaki/contrast stitching as well). There's a price increase with horsehide, so I could settle for a tan/brown chromexcel if it's not worth it.

Here's another photo of a pair of color 4 shell balways

It's my grail boot but although it's made in Italy and I live next door from Italy there is no way to get it without having it come from the US and paying untold amounts of money in customs.

>>17335818
I love them but damn, 800 euros

I have the money but I never had proper decent boots so these will be along with my white sneakers all I will use all winter , maybe it's a bit overkill for me , how much maintenance these have.

>>17335822
Horsehide is more abrasion resistance than cowhide. That's about it, does not mean much in practical wear.

>>17335891
I own a pair of Vibergs, I bought them with a discount and I like them, but absolutely do not buy them as your first pair of good boots.
There is nothing wrong with them but they are just very expensive, probably the most expensive "high end" shoe brand before you start getting into the bespoke makers like G&G, EG etc

I bought them as my third pair of boots, and knowing full well that I wanted an American-style service boot in my collection

This might be a stupid question

If you buy shoes with a leather sole and add topy covers, you can just keep replacing the topy every 1-2 years when it gets worn out and never have to actually do a proper "resole" right?

>>17330007

>>17335822
tighter, finer grain typically mean it rolls (though finer creases still will occur. imo also more water resistant (less spotting)

>>17335899
Correct, same with heels, much cheaper to replace a rubber toplift if you don't wear into the leather heel stack
