I see your wholecut boot and I raise you
SEAMLESS wholecut boot

I'm just gonna say it, 'people' who buy "women's" shoes from menswear brands are peculiar
You will never

>>17723188
Looks cool.

>>17723188
for these kinds of boots, what's the maximum acceptable angle of the lacing? Does it have to be touching or nearly touching like your pic to be acceptable?

>>17723198
It's like an oxford so I guess it should be as close as possible without touching

There's a video on youtube where Gaziano & Girling do a full test run of a bespoke shoe and he explains stuff like what the perfect length should be (pic related) and how far apart the facings must be. Obviously you can't get it perfect on off the shelf lasts.

>>17723196
Women don't care about quality, they just stuff their closets full of plastic trash

>solovair derby boot
>corcoran jump boot
Which one will serve me better, /fa/? I lean towards heritage workwear style (Japanese selvedge, waxed trucker jacket, plaid flannel, etc). I'm not looking for something very dressy, I have Luccheses and oxfords for that.
I think the solovair would look much nicer, but the corcoran would probably match better with my other clothes and be less likely to have manufacturing defects.
I wouldn't mind paying a bit more for a better quality option with similar styling.

>>17723196
why should i listen to a woman's opinion on the quality of their boots?

>>17723242
>corcoran jump boot
As far as i can tell they are discontinued and a lot of the ones floating around online are factory seconds. If you want to get them make sure the retailer is relatively trustworthy and make sure they aren't seconds. They use somw kind of plastic or in the sole that will eventually break if you really beat on them, but i don't know how long that actually takes.

Avoid waxy rustic ones because they crease fast. But no one really gives a fuck about style in trades work.

>>17723493
Sounds like they had a bad lot. Happens sometimes in manufacturing, especially with a lot of hand work. One new guy on the line can do a lot of damage if you're not inspecting thoroughly enough. But the inspection issue is something to give me pause.
Any other examples of quality issues? I saw one on Reddit where one boot had a significant offset in the last, but other than that they seem to have favorable reviews. Seems like they make the effort to make it right when there are issues, too.
Sad to hear that the jump boot is discontinued.

>>17724094

>ordered laces from Austria in the USA

but why?

What length do you guys usually aim for in the boot when you're ordering? For example if your feet are 27cm, would you go for an 8,5(27,5cm insole) or a 9(28cm insole)?

>>17724380
i go by brannock for US or UK sizing for european boots.

>>17724380
>>17724381
For europoors without brannock devices.

>>17724383
UK TTS for (((Viberg)))

>>17724390
Don't know why that means. Why can't you people just answer the question using the parameters given in the original post >>17724380

Pretty sure all boots are TTS as in they are true to the size that they are. But that doesn't really help anything with sizing.

>>17724383
Measure your foot and compare with brannock size charts online

still on the fence with getting these

>>17724692

>>17724692
Don't get them for a while to think it over. Also, invest in better but fewer things, so take a look at your wardrobe

What boots are ok for wearing with suits and suit pants.
I don't want to look overdressed for simple day to day meetings and stuff so maybe duke and Dexter but Indont like the laces down to the tip.

Is black boot with natural welt still a faggy look? I don't want anyone to think I'm wearing docs

>>17725467

>>17725393
Of course there isn't

>>17725482
Yeah because it's already been established that you dress bad and I know for myself that I dress good. Showing you how I dress wont change either of these facts.

>>17725467
are you in a band?

any anons use these on leather sole boots/shoes?

>>17725467
impressive, very nice

>>17725521
no
i'm waiting to see if i get significant wear at the toe to actually justify having this done now or after a resole
the look is really neat, but fuck going to a cobbler for it extra, especially since there isn't one in my town that i would even trust to brush my shoes

>>17725521
requires a skilled cobbler to do a proper job, and those are few and far between

Whats a good boot to have as a daily shit kicker that you can also take out on the town or on a hike or something? Like idk one of those expensive hipster boots that last forever, but don’t look like shit preferably. Any recommendations? or should I elaborate more idk if this makes sense.
No combat boots, I have jungle boots

>>17725750
Fracap 120 maybe.
Or maybe White's Bounty Hunters, not sure what you're looking for.
Maybe some Jim Green Vellies.

>>17725751
Uhh idk I guess I’m just looking for a boot similar in idea as like, iron rangers or something, but not ugly as sin. I’m a sucker for heritage and tradition and all those other buzzwords. The 120s and bounty hunters look nice. The latter being pretty expensive though. I have a hard time justifying over 500, that’s like a car payment for shoes

>>17723171
Cavour's Field Boots after few months of wearing. I like them, but I bought slightly too small of a size, so they got these wrinkles near reinforced spots. Not bad otherwise and they are comfortable to wear now. I like hiking in them.

>>17725761

>>17723258
Corcoran are lower quality boots than Solovair.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fkX3sZDBZZE

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vkhCcvfVHRs&t=1s

^So we don't have to waste time arguing about it.
Solovairs aren't great but they're on par with other entry level GYW brands that use mostly synthetic materials.

It's so stupid that this board is so obsessed with this one image while their darling White's perry boots have had much more common QC fails; from wonky stitching all the way to the soles peeling off after a few wears and the moc stiching tearing like a mall brand fashion boot.

>>17723453
I love wool pants. Do you ever wear some wool pants during summer? I never owned ones so idk how hot do they get.

>>17725754
Maybe the White's Hillyard.

>>17725764
>>17725761
My previous boots were docs fyi so this is a massive step up in quality.

>>17725754
To add onto this, I thought onions anvils collab boot (drifter I think?) was really cool looking and I love the idea. So something like that, maybe not as tall

>>17725778
Ok, I think you might want the Mule packer, it has a higher heel than the anvil collab because he got it shortened.

>>17725779
It's from White's too.

>>17725779
Ah sweet, that’s a good one, do you own a pair or any whites in general? Anything I should know if I do decide to buy?

>>17725782
Nope I'm saving up for a pair myself, specifically the Wicket & Craig Bounty Hunters on Baker.
You should look into the fit, the high arch makes the fit different than other boots.

>>17725783
Gotcha, appreciate it man, I’ll check em out, and browse around a little, whites had some good ones

>>17725770
Thank you for the extra opinion and the links, I'll take a look. I'm the anon who originally asked. So far I haven't found anything that can compete with the look of the solovair, though I'd prefer something higher quality if it exists...
I'm not convinced about the love for Whites here, I think they're not much better looking than iron rangers anyway.

>>17726019
I should say I'm not >>17725992 lol. Although I appreciate baiting boot autists.

They're absolutely fine for the price, pretty tough boots. The coated leather will start to crack eventually even if you take really good care of the boots, but they offer varients like the greasy leathers without the plastic coating for the same price. Either way it's objectively good quality full grain leather of average thickness for a heritage style boot - the microscope can't lie.

I actually respect Whites a lot for making the really tough boots with the best natural materials, though you'd have to be the gayest lumbersexual on reddit to wear their 20 inch high heel tranny boots in a casual setting.

I even really like the perry boot as a cheaper offering that rivals Thorogood and Red Wing a bit more, they made sensible savings and it's the best looking moc IMO, silhouette is spot on. But it absolutely had a bad launch and worse QC than any Solovair boot or even fucking Thursday. And then the same morons praise Corcoran on the regular because they symbolise American masculinity I guess. Despite making basically cosplay boots with exceptionally thin leather that IS mostly plastic.

>>17726019
>I'm not convinced about the love for Whites here
its literally 1 retard. White's make heavy boots with a cool construction method, and their big redeeming factor are the arch-ease lasts, nothing quite like it.
For anything else you go to European brands, mostly good QC, great finishing and beautiful lasts.

reminder that nothing comes close to a pair of Galways. No poorfag cope.

>>17723203
Everything Tony explains in that video is very specific to G&G making. Their perfect isn't the same perfect as other makers i.e Cleverley or Lobb.

The ideal facing looks like a slight V. You never want them touching as they'll stretch over a few months and the facing will eventually overlap causing discomfort

>>17726326
Not sure what you mean, pic related.
Only difference I see is the back edge of the sole is angled inwards.

Left or right?

been dying to know. very comfy and only cost 10 dollars

>>17726570
Show the bottom? Kinda reminds me of the non-jungle combat boots from the cold war

>>17726570
looks like either genesco or ro-search combat boots. were in use from the mid 60s through the 80s. the markings at the top are the size (11 wide) and the year of manufacturer (1984)

Do whites ever go on sale? Looking for something like the plain toed MPs. Anyone else make something like them?

>>17726761
Yeah they do sales regularly.

>>17726786
really? ive been checking for a few months now and never see any

>>17726790
They had one recently for fathers day I think.

>>17726794
god damnit. I need to see if I need a half size or a size down first

>>17726574
>>17726715
cannot find an exact match for these but i see that the sole is a ro-search and the upper + vamp looks identical to the Genesco CIC boots. Eh close enough thank you anons

>>17726843
i'd generally recommend half size down from brannock for 55 last

>>17726130

What are everyone’s thoughts on the onions anvil collab boots..

>Built on the classic Munson last, the Griffin is an excellent option for those not interested in the heavy-duty perforated cap toe of the Roots Boots.
those are the slimmest munson boots i've seen kek

>>17725521
I do, because I often run with leather soled boots and the wear at the toe area is disgusting. Ideally, those can be put on by your shoemaker when buying your pair so that those "cobblers" just need to screw and grind any replacement. If you can't then you should ask for a thick topy, otherwise they will have to cut your sole (and the welt).

>>17728304
thats not munson unless theres been heavy modification

where can I get a pair of black rambler leather boots? preferably like pic related minus the hideous sole

I would even buy pic related and just have the sole changed if I could

>>17728263
Thanks, they are berg & berg antonio flannel from the last season, wish the fabric was a bit heavier for better drape and the rise a bit higher but overall I would recommend them for the price (150€)

>>17728775
There was but it wasnt as bad as two days ago, there is also an alert for another storm today... every few days a massive storm, I feel bad for you Yanks, how can you live with your tornados and hurricanes all the time.

Also how easy would it be for a cobbler to put a topy on a sole in this condition? He could probably just sand it down a bit to make the surface more uniform and stick it right? Or is a resole necessary in the near future? Not much experience with leather soles but boy are they comfy

>>17729362
i think its fine, they sand down new soles too so why shouldn't they be able to with used soles.

>order parameme boots from Swisslink
>first pair is just cut up to pieces, parts of the soles are coming off

idiot just needed new heels and thought he was upgrading from GS fake dainite to this, lol
he even praised the cobbler, until the comments pointed out he got ripped off
just goes to show that this "hobby" is just buying what the youtube algorithm lays on you and mindlessly following top10s from paid-off influencers, because the average consumer of these boots has absolutely no clue what he's even buying or how to take care of it

>>17730401

I want to sell them to put them into properly fitting boots. they're functionally perfect down to waterproofing but pretty ugly. Would I be able to get any decent money back?

>>17730760
Idk, are niggers dumb enough to buy 5 year old $100 used boots?

>>17730761
You tell me, that's why I'm asking.

>>17730760
you would be lucky to get $20, and that’s if it’s the model that everyone knows. If it’s not just donate them to a goodwill, selling them would be a total waste of time

Any comfortable resoleable / Goodyear welted walking shoes? Don’t really like wearing boots for walking long distances.

How do JK boots stack up against Whites, Nicks, Wesco

boots without the shaft with a sprung toe

Got my Nicks in the mail today. Might throw a photo in later. The toe box is ugly as shit because I put a composite toe in it - it looks like a penis. And yeah the upper is not centrally aligned which looks dumb.
Got weathershield leather which looks good and I like the feel of it, stitching all round is very impressive. Despite their looks they're the most comfortable shoes I own by far and I own Rick Owens, Guidi, standard sneakers and other work boots. They also appear to be the best quality construction out of the lot. My shoes with orthotics made for my feet don't even feel that comfy.

>>17730888
ugly as sin but can't deny they are comfortable, only problem is that they weigh like 2.5lbs each.

>>17729529
>tfw got a brand new pre-ordered pair coming in a month, plus a perfectly good resolved pair.

My condolences, anon. Just take them to the cobbler if the uppers are in good shape. 60 and a new vibram sole and you should have perfectly serviceable boots. My surplus pair went from unbearable to perfectly fine with a new set of Vibrams.

>>17730762
not unless other nogs will shame them for not buying 5 year old timbs, ya dig? Selling shoes to that market is fucking atrocious though, I can't believe anyone does it voluntarily. Its going to be constant low ball offers and messages in broken English attempting to guilt trip you. I swear to god. I've sold about 2 hypebeast shoes over the past few years and got 4 or 5 messages telling me some sob story and trying to convince me to sell the shoes at a lower price because of their hard times.

Imagine buying footwear that another dudes feet have sweated in...

Are you a cripple or something?
It's a shoe for walking, not running.

>>17731586
lighter shoes are simply superior.

>>17731586
Walking shoes shouldn’t weigh 2.5 pounds each. The leather should be evenly proportioned, not built like complete slabs for soles while having paper-thin upper leather.

>>17731661
If you can't afford them just say it.
For one they aren't 2.5 lbs each, the uppers aren't paper thin, probably thicker leather than any boots you own at 7.5 oz, and the mid soles are oak tan, it's meant to be thick and durable, no one uses leather for uppers on the midsole to make it "evenly proportioned".

>>17731661
>while having paper-thin upper leather.

>>17731688
Pretty sure i saw them weighing in at 2.4lbs
Thick uppers aren't really what you want in a walking shoe
All my lightweight shoes and boots are nicer to wear, especially for long walks.

>>17731766
>Pretty sure i saw them weighing in at 2.4lbs
For both

Lmao. All PNW soles so far are from Mexico, quebracho and chestnut tan, sourced through a PA wholesaler.

very nice, i just bough split toe carmina derbys but i dont know what to wear them with
can you post a fit ? i know those eg are a lot more expensive but they do look similar

>>17732816
They'll go with basically anything, chinos, cord, cotton twill, wool, linen trouser etc, maybe even some denim.
I think they are best suited for chinos. Are yours a more casual color and leather or black calf?

Also if ur looking for good trousers, cavour has a 50% summer sale going on right now, great value.

>>17732835
its these, they are pretty slim so even though they look casual they feel more dressy

>>17732874
dark denim, navy or olive chino, all shades of khaki , etc

>>17732874
i got a similar suede derby from carmina and i wear that with beige or ecru chinos a lot. >>17732896
are all things i would wear them with too.

Specification: MIL-B-43481 (Boot, Combat, Leather, Black, Direct Molded Sole)

Also known as McNamara boots, like the other anon said. The size is 11 Wide (IIW). The "84" marking is the year they were made, 1984. These have the "Ripple" sole which was molded directly to the leather uppers, meaning they cannot be resoled.

>>17733418
literally 1984

I'm looking for something as close as possible to this, available in the EU. I'd get these but they're UK and I'd get raped by customs (a nice €100 cuck fee according to my calculations). So, any recommendations?
I mostly like the silhouette and minimalism of this boot, those are the important parts.

meermin and berwick have something close and ship from EU
carlos santos, tlb mallorca, carmina are better but at a higher price point and a lot more dressy

L/R?

God damn these are all hideous. You know wearing these won't turn you guys into grizzled Sunday best-wearing mountain men with their trad wives on their way to a wood church, blessed with that mythical maturity that hits you after 25, right?
