/fa/ - Fashion

how bout you narrow it down to just 5 of those?

the ones you love the most and are versatile.

>>6688625
i'll do my best

>>6688569
8
at first they look weird, but once you wear them for a few months they begin to look nice

>>6688569
w2c 8?

>>6688751
they look like chippewa

W2c 18?

>>6688758
Most likely Kats. Chippewa doesn't sell cap-toes directly as far as I know, they only make them for LL Bean.

The plain toe Apaches look better anyway

>>6688751
LLBean

OP, stay away from the high-laced look for the most part, it usually looks shitty. 6" or less is best.

I would say get a pair of desert boots and a pair of Chippewa Apaches (your pic #8, but no toe cap and half the price)

>>6688569
11 and 8

>>6688913
to be more useful...

i own a pair of red wing work chukkas and they're very solid. take some time to break in. they'll go with anything casual.

i own a pair of us made chippewa black odessa boots. they're okay for the price which is fine for someone who is looking to try something new.

you can look for waterproof boots if you want but you can buy sno-seal for smooth leather boots. the wax will protect the leather and if you use a color creme before the wax you can preserve the leather even further.

avoid leather soles

>>6688954
>avoid leather soles
Leather soles are great, way more comfortable than rubber usually. They aren't great in rain or snow, but if you live somewhere where that's a problem you can get a thin (THIN!) layer of vibram put on them

>>6688884
i like the Apaches, but i'm not crazy about the sole

>>6688933
i really like the odessa, but i'm not sure if i can pull off black

i really like the colors of 7 & 8 if anyone knows boots in those colors

thanks for the advice so far /fa/
which are your least favorites out of the list /fa/?

>>6688974
yeah but op said >something i could wear in the rain would be a major bonus

>>6689007
They do a lug-sole Apache too, if that's any better

>>6689060
I noticed that right after I posted. Oops

>>6688625
ok....
this is what i like
are any of them eye sores?

>>6689510
i was leaning towards No.2 in the op pic but whatevs.

>>6689510
Definitely no eyesores. I'm not crazy about 2 or 5, but that's just me, nothing wrong with them. I like 1 and 4 best, Chippewas are great. It's come up in the thread, but 1 (Katadhins) are just rebranded Chippewa Apaches with a cap toe, so if you don't care about the cap toe you can get the standard Apaches for half the price of the Kats (and there's a lug sole variant if you like that better)

The LL Bean boots are pretty much the best boot for dollar on that list in my mind. I'd grab them, and some SnoSeal and run with them till I wore the bastards out.

http://www.wolverine.com/US/en-US/Product.mvc.aspx/20591M/0/Mens/Mens-1000-Mile-Boot?dime quality is unreal.

woops. tried to say that the quality is unreal. they're a bit over 300, but they're worth it.

>>6689661
>best boot for dollar
Not when you can get the exact same boots for half the price. Toe cap isn't worth $100

>>6689683
>>6689694
damn, those are perfect
I'm not sure if i'm ready to drop 355 on boots though, because I've never owned a pair before

Fuck I want boots. Are there any decent boots for under $100? I'm fucking poor.

>>6689748
check the stores in the sticky

>>6689748

Clark's Desert boots are probably on sale under 100 somewhere on the Internet. They are pretty much the lowest you can go and still expect some sort of quality.

>>6689705
Are you talking about buying them direct from the manufacture?

It used to make a lot more sense, because they offered the exact same boot, for around 70$. And when I say exact same, I mean literally the exact same.

Now, things are a little different, and while I agree the toecap may not be worth the extra cash, I still stand by them as the best choice because of LL Bean being behind them. If you've ever dealt with the company before on returns/warranties or any issue, you'd understand where I am coming from with that.

>>6689748
Save up, buy better and fewer items. Fall isn't till October, you still have a month and a half to scrape together 50bucks.

>>6689849
Plus, I really fucking hate the massive stamp on the side of the boots.

>>6689849
Buying from Chippewa directly, or getting Apaches anywhere else. I have heard that LL Bean is great about returns, but I usually don't base decisions on that. I trust anything from Chippewa to last a good while.

Hating the stamp is legit though. It's obnoxious, but jeans cover it so I don't mind too much.

>>6689960
I base a lot on customer service, more than I should most likely.

But you are right, paying 80 for a toe cap and less annoying branding is a little on the silly side.

But over all, I still like the LL Bean model more than the Chippewa model.

As a bonus, with LL Bean you don't need to unlace your boots to remove that stupid flag either.

I do hear you though.

>>6689748
I have some stacy adams boots that were under 100 that I don't hate, but buying shitty shoes really isn't worth it in the long run

Get these g. $150

9, 11 is my highest recommendation, 13, and 15

>>6691269
i got these coming in the mail today top kek

Hey guys, I didn't want to start a new thread in case it's against the rules. But seeing as this is a boots thread..

How would you describe the boots the model is wearing? What would they be called?

The website I got the picture from no longer has them in stock I don't think.

w2c something like 5 or 16?

>>6689510
1 and 3 in my opinion. That's just taste though. I don't see anything wrong with these.

>>6691967
The pattern is brogue if I am correct? Other than that brown suede boots

wow, a lot of those are really cool

These are my boots that I bought last winter

What are 2 and 10?

>>6691967
Anyone else?

>>6691967
Wingtip desert boots. You could also try wingtip chukka boots

This thread hurts me

all these shitty cheap boots

>>6689510
4 is the ONLY acceptable choice here

You will regret buying shitty <$300 boots.
Just save up - it's worth it.

>>6692069
Pretty sure 2 are Wolverine's.

Could be wrong though.

>>6689792
you can find clarks desert boots ant nordstrom rack for pretty good deal.

>>6692634
recommendations for a boot that is suitable for rain/wetness and is more expensive? The nice boots seems to all be leather soles.

>>6693009
RW Beckman (~$320)
White's (~$400)

>>6693033
whites

also any of the horde of Vibram-sole boots out there. (Oak Street, RW, Yuketen, etc)
