clarks desert mali. mine look a lot better (obenaufs + broken in)

OP, what kind of leather conditioner should i use to achieve that shine in your pic?

>>6939553
They look like that because of the type of leather, cordovan. You can try to emulate with oils and polishing creams, but I doubt you'd get them to look like it.

>>6939589
Those look sick.

waiting for Diemme FW13 to get stocked, but looking for possible alternatives since most of the new stock is suede.

i'd really like to have boots similar to these but i don't know where to get any

Is this decorated upper too much for casual settings

boots I want thread?

>>6939663

are these fucking trash?

thoughts?

>>6939533

>>6939676
how the fuck did you get that color? mine look like shit now

>>6939694

Looks like they were polished, /fa/ seems to have a complex about polish because "it looks like plastic shit."

y/n?

>>6939611
are you serious

>>6939779

>>6939788
I usually hate stuff like this. These are 6.5/10 for me. Probably 9/10 if you're into the style.

Help a bro out - are these Wolverine?

>>6939710
how do you mean? they like polish or dislike polish? i personally polish two of my boots, and dont polish two of my boots.

>>6939787
how cheap?

If anyone has these for sale in 8.5 I will suck your dick and then pay you for the pleasure. I could just get the Alden x Context Roy boots, but I don't wanna fuck w/ no crepe sole and I like the coloring on this one better.

>>6940007
bottom quote is probably red wing and top is probably not redwing or wolverine. check

>>6940007
are you fucking kidding me?

is it just me or is the amount of clueless tards way higher tonight?

>>6939632
I like the idea behind this but can't help feeling like this would look terrible in real life.

>>6940311
>>6940305
No, they aren't kats, they're Iron rangers, look at the stitching on the toe cap.

>>6939773
it's fine.

if not w2c, I'm in love

>>6940406
this is cordovan(alden), for reference. It looks like OP's boots are really good quality, but not cordovan. Too many small creases.

Could they maybe be a really worn pair of cordovan?

>>6940445
I know right? I'm in love too, but I'm being a good boy and waiting for a paycheck.

they're oak street.

>>6940431

thanks, I'll try and find a pair used or wait until they're back in stock :-)

>>6940451

sheeit.

At those prices, I'll be waiting three paychecks. might as well cop some redwing mocs I guess.

>>6940383
he said they were katas so...

>>6940446
nah, cordovan doesnt crease like that, even if theyre heavily worn

pic rel

the ones posted here:>>6940311
are katahdins.

the ones in this :>>6939690
Are almost certainly iron rangers, not katahdins. They are without a doubt two separate boots.

>>6940473
is that cum

>>6940478
yea i meant that >>6940311 are kats, and >>6939690 look like redwings

are you a girl or a neonazi?

>>6940530
not
mocs are ugly af

Can any one give any recommendations on some <$100 or so boots to get me through Wisconsin winters? I have some big ass hunting boots but they aren't exactly /fa/. Also, I have size 13 feet and some boots look like clown shoes on me.

I can't tell whether these are tacky or cool. Hardly know anything about Heschung

>>6940366
they're pretty high at all times

dunno how we get so many people who can't recognize an Iron Ranger, maybe some nights on /b/ are slower than others

>>6940535
Those boots wouldn't look better by being plain toe

They're just ugly boots

>>6940540
my advice is spend more

I desperately want some Red Wings, but I'm unemployed and broke as fuck at the moment. Haven't had much luck finding decent looking boots that are cheaper

>>6940545
I'll spend more if its worth it but i'm in college so money is tight.

>>6939553
Thoughts on these?

>>6940535
aight, what about this?

>>6940568
meh
just get some 1460s

I'd take a pic of the docs I got at a flea market the other day, but I'm too lazy.

>>6939702
PLEASE can someone help identify these boots, or ones that look like them? I would be forever thankful.

>>6942377
i wouldn't buy them those seams are all over the fucking place, and the super thin sole makes me think of peter pan

>>6942397
But the shape, the exact shade of brown leather, worn out look.. it's the PRECISE kind of boots I've been looking for, for a very long time..

>>6941223

What do you wear with boots? I'm curious about them but so clueless as to what would go with them.

>>6943267
that's what I've been leaning towards. any idea w2c for cheapest? I think I saw them on ebay for around $240.

thoughts?

>>6943262
short shorts and a fishtail parka cos its #nxtlvl

>>6943293
lurk ebay and you will get them for cheap. I got mine for $200 off ebay from some guy who got the wrong size and wore them a little

>>6943303
p gross. do not cop

>>6939653
Should I size down for these?

>>6939617
w2c

>>6941185
I'm pissed you can't get these in the UK.

Copped these a month ago

in person they are 10x sexier

>>6943421
They look like autism shoes.

want to cop these but low on funds

>>6943425
cum fight me m8 ill wreck ur shit

>>6943242
I've been thinking of getting a pair of these but I feel like I'll just be a basic hoe.

Are Goby hi in tobacco from Clarks effay?

Got these like a year ago, starting to doubt their effay level, did I fuck up by buying these? Just standard Dr. Martens chelsea's

>>6943461
The sleekness of chelsea boots is completely ruined by the chunky doc martin soles. Soz m8.

>>6943488
Well, fuck me then. Can you recommend any good alternatives?

Good that's intentional

What is up with that back buckle tho

Opinions on white boots? Not fffff# white but maybe a light gray or something.

I can't seem to find anyone who looks good in Iron Rangers without wearing jeans.

So... they're no longer available? :'((((((

c/n?

>>6943848
Mate, I just ordered them yesterday, exact same ones. Hoping to have them in the mail by tuesday.

I think they're a solid, simple pair of sneakers (I love the shape of it). So I would say cop. But if you want, wait a few days and I can give a more accurate review on the Clarks Torbay Mid for ya.

>>6943861
ill be waiting anyway because my bank shut down my card because i was spending too much so i have to call them during the week to reactivate it

>>6943870
Ok.

Whats the next step up from Clarks Desert Boots? No crepe soles please...

And I'm broke af so Red Wing is a little out of my price range. whats something decent in the middle?

Need some help. Just bought some Carks Originals desert boots. Bought a smaller size because the salesperson said it would stretch. Small toe feels tight. Should I get size up or will it stretch out?

>>6939702
any alternative? with similar caracteristics

>>6944038
try to wear them for a week!

>>6944038
they're going to stretch quite a bit. dw about it

>>6944038
Toe box won't stretch. Is there a size you can get in between? Getting them too large will get bad creasing like mine.

>>6944062
That doesn't look bad in lighter browns. Gives the lived in look that matches fades.

>>6944024
Those are pretty sweet looking actually. I probably couldn't pull 'em off though.

Anyone know if the ridiculous 'Made in America' tags on Thorogood boots are easily removable?

>>6943700
The photo doesn't do it justice, no. They did have a more worn in look but I spruced 'em up with a bit of polish. I like the buckles; they serve no purpose but they make 'em original looking. They also give the boots a nice 'click' when I walk; almost like spurs but not quite as dramatic.

>>6944051
>>6944059
>>6944062

The next size up feels a tad big. I may go back tomorrow and check out the other size again. I was worried the toe box would not stretch. May just keep them and see if they stretch out over time. Thanks, /fa/

>>6944093
yeah just use a razor blade

>>6944100
>tfw narrow feet that fit in every toebox but always get too loose after they stretch. I just keep lacing tighter and tighter.

These are not the original Levi's vintage boots displayed in the picture, I've been searching so long for these boots, I even sent a mail to Levi's.
They said they will pass the message to their bosses, but thats all I have.

>>6944333
ya, the ones in the link were recently put on their site this summer

There were different ones in year's past

>>6939815

I'd cop those if I had $80 lying around.

>>6939774
i can't decide if i love or hate these

I bought a pair of these recently but was disappointed and sent them back. The uppers were very nice, the leather was thick and soft. But the footbed was way too flat and hard, and the rubber soles were too thin.

>>6944024

these look like the kind of boots you wear when you're about to walk in a sea of shit

>>6939658
>>6939658
>>6939658

Absolutely amazing. I guess they aren't for sale in the netherlands somewhere? ;_;

what are the best looking boots i could get for $150-$200?
I have clark's desert boots in beeswax, and I like them a lot, but i'd like something a tad bit higher. but not much

>>6944121
Fuck you, that isn't a problem. Having 4E feet that mean you can only comfortably fit in clown shoes is a problem.

Thoughts on Bean Boots? Trying to decide between the 8, 10, and 12 in models as well as insulated or not. Anyone have some thoughts? I make a 30 minute walking commute to work daily and I'm in central Illinois where it can get sort of cold and snowy.

>>6945743
cdb malis are the same thing but a tad higher

>muh boots

>>6945805
The lacing also looks miles better

cop for $150?

>>6945825
I never liked the contrast lacing

Where can I find some boots like the ones in the OP that I can dress up for work or dress down for my everyday fall wear?

>>6945825
where can i get red wing chukkas but in a dark-tan colour?

Copping when they go on sale

Will cop as soon as they go on sale

can i wear, like, anything with these ugly motherfuckers? i've resisted buying them for so long but today is the day i stop lying to myself and cop a pair.

what should i avoid?

>>6946593
Also, $200 max. Preferably around $150.

>>6946647

avoid being poor.

muh boots. Only mine are flat black, couldn't find many pics of it. y/n?

>>6946652

Thoughts on these?
Aldo, but am shitpoor and can't afford 1000 Miles or Red Wings.

>>6946817
Why the fuck did you even ask, then?

>>6946859
Out of boredom while I wandered over here while /mu/ was being dull, and like I said I like the boots so I thought i'd ask.

Back to /mu/ with me, fuccboi out.

Can't decide whether or not to cop a pair of 1640's MIE. I kinda like the skinhead aesthetic (think This is England and Trainspotting, not Volksfront).

Thoughts?

cop or not?

>>6947246
Cop a pair of Solovair's instead if you can. Same price, but way higher quality.

>>6947261

I was thinking of copping the Made in England docs, though. Are Solovairs still better quality?

Also thanks for the actually useful reply. Almost never happens on /fa/ anymore

>>6947258

I'm personally not a huge fan, but they're not awful. I still wouldn't if I were you. If you like the look of those shoes, Clae has a bunch that have a very similar (if not slightly more refined) aesthetic.

>>6946858
Friend has Aldos, they're disposable.

FUCK:
>http://www.bergdorfgoodman.com/p/John-Varvatos-Parisian-Riding-Boot-Black/prod87890013/

>>6946858

I wouldn't buy Aldo if I were you. They're awful quality and even though they can look good new, they become total shit really, really fast.

I recommend saving up and buying a pair of RW Iron Rangers (if that's the look you're going for). You can get them for just over $200, they last a long time and look better with age. You'll go through 4 pairs of Aldo boots before your Red Wings will need to be replaced.

>>6947306

God damn I love those. I can't afford to spend over $700 on a pair of shoes, though :(

>>6947306
Fucking beautiful.

>>6947320
W2c for that low? Cheapest I can find is $210 from revolve but have to pay cali tax bringing it to like $240.28246232 632

>>6947329
Me too man.. John Varvatos makes GOD TIER shoes/boots.. If you like that look try and 700 is the max then some Fiorentini+Bakers would work wonders.

>>6947269

>>6947457

why are they shitty? can you give an actual explanation or are you just trying to fit in here?

>>6947481

not in my experience, i don't understand where all this is coming from

should I put any kind of leather protector or whatever on these?

Im only going to be wearing them casually and not walking in mud etc. However, if it rains and my boots get wet once, will they get ruined?

>>6947280
these are beautiful ;_;
what are they?

>1-2 days delivery
>Still waiting day 5

;_;

>>6947512
They won't be ruined

>>6947340

Well I meant you could get them for around $200 (give or take 30 bucks). I didn't include shipping/taxes etc. in the price.

But yeah, with taxes and everything a pair of IR's will run you about $240. I bought mine for around $300 (Canada + boutique pricing) and I still consider them worth it.

>>6947401

Really? I suppose Solovairs are the way to go, then. Thanks for the info, anon

>>6947528

i hope they never arrive

Serious crisis, I want both but can only drop 700 CAD on one.
So should it be these?

Are IRs getting played out? I'm seeing them used a lot on denim ads now.

>>6947590
Or these?

>>6947590
>>6947608
Neither

>>6947590
>>6947608

Terrible.
What are you even going to wear them with?

>>6947614
>>6947616
Y'all can't be srs. There are few things that either boots wouldn't work with. Most any prep jean or chino would look fucking sweet with either boot.
What's wrong with them?

>>6947642
Theyre both ugly af. Get whatever floats your boat though

>>6947648
Yeah I think this might be a taste difference. Because
>>6947608
with an olive jean and white oxford would be gold. Or
>>6947608
With a khaki chino and chunky burgundy knit.

>>6947730
pretty gud, other than the sweater and shirt

>>6947730
it doesnt matter who makes the shoe or of what quality it is, it looks bad. buy it if youre that in love, but its just not a good looking boot. theres too much going on with the brogue detail and tweed. its not versatile and its overdesigned in my opinion

>>6947750
Fair enough, thanks for the input m8

>>6944112
>>6944093
Confirmed for easily removed. Took a blade to mine and is not noticable.

Happy with the boots too; if you have shitty weather they're fantastic.

What are the some very durable, yet thin (not a huge sole, a relatively pointy tip) boots?

Why the fuck do boots look a million times when they're worn-in? All of the new ones in this thread look like fake plastic shit, the worn-in ones look top.

Just look at these two:

coped these last year but i dont like to wear because the are too loud.

is there a way to make time more silent?
i jut feel like everyone is staring at me because of my boots.

>>6948655
I know how you feel but it's probably because you're amongst people who only wear sneakers
get used to it,t hese boots aren't even that loud

>>6948237
Bump for this. Looking for something relatively rugged that looks good when worn, which really stands the test of time and has awesome durability.
Mainly searching for muted/cosy color, something wearable during the fall and winter.

>>6948592

DAYUM

>>6947280
what are these?
reverse image search was just a bunch of seals.

Got these recently as my first pair of shoes in the boot area. I want to get some actual boots in future.

>>6948655
Where did you cop those?

Anyone tried these for a cheap option?

http://www.bexley.com/Bexley/en/p/dress_shoes/enfield

Thinking about buying theese, 100$. Never had a pair of boots before so want to start in the cheap end. Y/N?

>>6948709
I have Bexley dress shoes (Flavio in chocolate) and they are pretty good value. So I'd assume Enfield is solid boot. I have heard though that they take long time to break in.

Fit is true at least in my shoes btw.

1/2
I cant decide to cop or not, I need some decent boots that I can wear both casual and somewhat dressed for the winter.

>>6949080
2/2
I normally hate Docs but these actually look alright.
Maybe offer up some alternatives?

Are zippy boots allowed in here

>>6949106
more like preferred here

every designer sneaker/boot and shit even low tops have em atm

These are my favorite Ariats. My 511's fit well over them, too.

Looking for a better alternative to oxblood 1460s for under $300. My current pair of 3 years are kicking the bucket and water's starting to get in through the toe (especially bad when living in Seattle)

Can anyone help?

>>6949094
I really like the non-boot version of these but persoanlly can't see them working with what I currently wear. cop if you like them, and look into getting them resoled cause the maroon sole is the only thing that I don't like.

The laces are darker irl

>>6947481
swag.
i want this.
and it's 50 bucks?
fucking god.
copping rn

I've heard good things about them for that price point, especially the Enfield. It's annoying but they don't have my size (UK 7) in either black or chocolate, and when I was in Paris a couple of weeks ago the Bexley stores I went into said they only did the Enfield online.

here's how they look irl on a shitty webcam.
50 buck is nothing, cop it if you want some basic boots
the disstressing wasn't too good at the beginning but I helped it and after waxing they look acceptable

They're the Katahdin Engineer Boots made by Chippewa for LL Bean. However these are the brand new Cordovan color. They give Red Wing/Wolverine a run for their money. I think I was among the first people to place an order.

What do you think bakas? They're only $90, so I'm a bit weary

>>6949844
was considering these myself, or the canvas ones?

>>6949914
Theyre probably "distressed" leather. Aka if you arent going for the hobo look after 1 wear theyre not for you.

Anyone got experience with these Levi's Savage Boots? I

>>6949914
I'm sorry you're so tired. I would be wary of the quality at that price bro.

>>6949937
Yup, that's what I thought. Kinda hard to find something black on a low budget. I'm getting a pair of amber IRs but I thought I'd look for something in black

>>6949946
Oops, autocorrect is crap
Thanks for the input, I can close that now.

I love finding a sweet piece in a shit store.

It feels like I found a nugget of gold while pulling apart piles of moose shit.

These are $200, which is expensive for me. But I want them so bad. Should I get them?

>>6949933
Dont get canvas boots my friend.

what does /fa/ think

>>6950137
would be marginally better without the zipper

If you really love the look, maybe. But it's not as good a deal as it looks.

I have the oxford version, paid slightly less. It was disappointing. It's a really shitty leather, and it's just not the quality you'd expect from Red Wing. I also didn't like how they did the moc toe, which seems to have an apron stitched on or something

>>6950329
yeah. I'm going to save up for the IR's instead. Thanks m8

If you're buying them because you think they'll work with anything, I think it's not a great choice.

That said, the second looks like it could be cool in some uses. I think there are other options worth considering in that price range, though.

The brogue/tweed mix thing is not a boot design I care for (a few places seem to be doing it), seems gimmicky to me.

This kind of response makes your case sound a lot worse.

>>6948655
they're not loud, they're just ugly

What kind of coat goes well with a pair of brown boots?
