Best boots to cop for UK winter?

>>7082405
sauce on those

>>7082429

>>7082423
Levi's.

>>7082443
no way!

>>7082451
>being surprised that you have bad taste

>>7082453
>implying these arent the stupidest fucking things ever made

>>7082418

sauce?

>>7082490
Bitch, please. They're great.

>>7082506
Wings and Horns Dayton Service Boot
I don't think they make them anymore

>>7082478
I'm surprised they look like that. I would have thought they would age like crap and fall apart.

>>7082481
w2c those look cute :3

Why am I the only one posting.

>tfw hard as fuck to match
Looks really fucking good when they do though

>>7082511
They no longer make the collaboration, but the regular Dayton Service Boot looks identical.

>>7082418

Souce?

>>7082542

you better not be actually british

>>7082542
What in the fuck. Kind of weird, but also kind of neat. I can't imagine this doing well unless you're wearing mainly black and greys and letting the boots draw the attention.

Thoughts on these? To be used for the upcoming Swedish winter.

It's so hard to find a warm boot that will look good in a monochrome fit

>>7082560
Don't like the silhouette that much, but you're getting it more for function anyway so it's fine.

>>7082542
>wiping off my screen now from all the saliva I sprayed when
pfffhfhfhfhfhfhfhfhfhfhfhfhfhfhfhf

>>7082555
Why would you even consider wearing that if you weren't british

>>7082383
is this from
http://www.whitesboots.com/index.php?dispatch=categories.view&category_id=184

They look amazing and I want some boots like that but can't say I'm down with dropping that much and waiting that long

>>7082560
>>7082563
maybe i just should get the Premium Timbalands in black
The whole niggas-wearing-timbalands isn't really a thing here anyway.

>>7082589
uh, Timberlands*

>>7082553
I like to match it with a red beanie but it's mostly blacks and grays.

>>7082589

>>7082594

lel

>>7082553
I usually just wear mostly black and gray and a red beanie or something so they're not too out in the open.

mine... sorry...

>>7082542
W2C?

>>7082671
just pictured a fedora with those... gosh

>>7082685
Not my problem that you dream of fedoras.

is there a way to make timberland boots work with white skin?

>>7082667
stitching on the toe cap looks half-assed

>>7082774
jeans with mad stax, basic t.
same as with most boots. wear them if you like them, I think they're cool.

>>7082774
no

my rangers post oil/polish

>>7082692
hnnnng every time

>tfw they will never be yours

Just got these a couple days ago, hope they wear in nicely.
Comfy as fuck already, though.

>>7082829
>>7082667

these look aight

>>7082784
really? never noticed... Oh well... you get what you pay

>>7082803
Nice. What do you use to oil and polish?

>>7082494
these yours? info please

>>7082667
no worries, me too
kohls got deals for days

>>7082803
ohhhhhh...

I want a pair so badly, but I'm gonna wait until like black friday or something since I don't feel like shelling out $300 for some.

But the wait is killing me.

>>7082923
I know this feel all too well.
I got mine from nordstrom for 280 in august, you'll be happy once they're on your feet.

>>7082910
mink to oil, slather it on then blow dry until it soaks in. get it oiled to the point theyre glossy even when cooled. then just small amounts of brown polish brushed to a sheen. then sprinkle a small amount of water on and brush gently to really bring out a glossy texture. usually lasts about a month if not abraded. whole process takes about 3 hours

no brogues?

these are mine

>>7083249

>>7083269
are you serious?

>>7082823
w2c

>>7083269

slavcore

>>7083269
why do people do that? not lace up their boots (or shoes) and tuck their pants into them?
especially when its shoes. was a kid in my high school that did that with chuck taylors and sweat pants often.

>>7083293
anglo/western fuccbois cant understand

>>7083369
Veg tan leather boots? Damn. These are great.

w2c boots with chunky sole similar to Grenson Fred boots but better quality and can last Canadian winter?

>>7083462

didn't Trickers do a few chunky sole boots

>>7083504
how comes brogues are never taller? brogues would be sexy if they went up another inch or two.

>>7082481
>>7082481
>>7082481

wtc similar looking pair? I can't find these in my size anywhere. Shape/silhouette can change but I love that color/texture

>boots
>not for working class scum

>>7083594
>>7083607

not sure if these are response to >>7083560
but if they are thanks. Anything a little less high? more or less chucka height. Also bonus points for black sole

>>7083527

>>7083618
perfect. i love brogue. if i could pull it off, i would just wear brogue boots with every fit. i need to get some brogue shoes.

>>7082542
>>7082542
You better be a grill

brogue boots look like shit. its looks tacky and overdone

>>7083664
>http://www.oliberte.com/shoes/mibio/bold-black

Jesus these are great. Thank you so much

>>7083685

no problem, i try to help

>>7083728

I actually like these more (more dark grey/distressted)

still wouldnt have been able to find them without the link

>>7083682
it could not be more the opposite. ive only ever seen a single pair of brogues on another person.

>>7082945
thanks for that advice, your boots look incedible

am gonna cop rangers soon and was wondering if they're true to size or a size down?

grails

>>7082829
Also just cleaned my cdbs the other day

>>7083776
not overdone as in popular, overdone as in design. too much going on. you never see it because they look terrible. leave brogue detailing for shoes, but even then theres rarely a case where it looks good.
boots are inherently somewhat rugged, brogue detailing just looks out of place on them

What's the general opinion of Frye boots around here? Thinking about copping these.

>>7083834
to each his own i guess. i dont think it looks like that at all. and i really like the slim silhouette

>>7083859
definitely better options in the price range

>>7083860
detailing on the leather doesnt change the silhouette of the shoe. wear em if you want though

>>7083870
I know Red Wings are just a few dollars more, but they're so played out here where I live.
Know any others in a similar style for the same price range?

>>7083885
i know, but when have you ever seen brogueing (?) on a chunky ass boot?

>>7083870
but rw and those r so different lol

>>7083901
scope
http://www.gravitypope.com/

then find the stuff in ur country

>>7083904
grenson

just got these, boyfriend says they're ugly as fuck and is mad that I bought them

anyone know good of good winter boots? like actual snow on ground cold canadian winters.

>>7083963
it has a thick sole yes, but i personally dont consider the actual boot chunky. idk if thats the consensus on /fa/ or not.

>>7083985
steger mukluks

>>7083973
>is mad that I bought them
lel wtf

they're pretty plain
like pleather high top plimsolls or s/t

>>7084008
>>7083973
a far far far cry from regular docs, not as good as a different option though. i kind of like them.

>>7083300
http://www.mrporter.com/product/383167

>>7084033
I love traditional docs but also wanted something more subtle I could wear to work

Im a manlet and have small feet. w2c something like pic related in a size 6US? would be greatly appreciated bros.

where do you even buy boots

like, the first bunch ITT are gorgeous. where to acquire

>>7084324
size 6?

are you 4'?

>>7084324
oh wow those are actually pretty nice.

>>7084356
5'8 why?

>>7084447
You're either lying or you have the strangest proportions. I'm 5'6" and wear at least a 7 in boots.

>>7082560
I kinda like them but they don't look very wintery.
The sole is probably fine but the boot itself looks a little suedeish and not weather-proof.

ACTUALLY they are some really nice boots I'd say cop anyways monochrome or not.

>>7084460
What do I gain from lying about that. I just want to find some nice boots in a size 6US or equivalent. That's all.

>>7082494

these are gorgeous wtc

>>7082564
w2c?

just recently got these.. no wear on them yet.

>>7084897
Could you please post a fit pic/s. How does the zipper on the inside look in person? From the stock pics I just feel like it doesn't look very good.

>>7084517
I'm 5'4" and wear an 8. Shit.

Waiting for these to come in the mail

So im thinking of copping desert boots similar to these. Can you wear desert boots with shorts and still be /fa/? It's coming into summer here so im not sure if ill get to wear them much.

>>7085765
looks like the van from dumb and dumber yo

>>7085765
also only if you wear really thick and high socks bunched up like the soldiers did.
so no, don't do it. pants only

>>7082494
like a fucking tramp. what is wrong with you people

>>7085956
I chuckled

>>7085956
not sure whether this is a reason to buy them or not.

my boots are from churchs, had them for a couple of years. They are english armyboots from the 20's or something. They sadly don't make them anymore. Just got them back from the shoerepair guy, new heels, new soles, and new backs goddamn they feel good.

>>7085765
is the suede really long or something?

>>7086162
post another pic from another angle? those are some fine boots, not a fan of the chunky sole though.

>>7086334
what angle would you like? the sole is a bit shiny because it just got touched up

>>7086338
all angles. and definitely show the tip though, i was looking at the leading edge of the sole.

>>7086345
i feel like your bitch doing this. it just got shined so thats why its shiny

>>7086359
lmfao. would it help if i said please and thank you?

>>7086345
i got a new backheel, it used to be 'rugged' or whatever you call it. Now its just solid.

>>7086367
its okay. the back looks weird because i dont walk straight.

>>7086364
the sole looks way better at this angle than in the first pic. i am digging these boots. it sucks that you said they dont make them anymore.

>>7086372
maybe they do, i wanted to buy a new pair for a while but i haven't been able to find them.

>>7086376
aw dude. i saw a girl in my uni that literally walked so shitty, she was practically walking on the side of her boots. the sole was totally worn to leather on the inner edge and practically new on the outer edge. it was fucked up.

>>7086414
shit genetics, strong boots help me walk more straight though. So i always wear boots. Its mainly my left leg that walks weird, likes its possessed or something. its weird.

>>7082677
They'z docs nyugga

>>7086420
pic of you standing in said position?

>>7086435
jesus christ i stand like a normal person. Its just when i walk i don't go straight

>>7086420
meermin has some nice boots that look a little like that, i'd post a link but their website isn't working at the moment

Anyone has experience dealing with cobblers?

There is one downtown that makes custom boots at a fairly low price (350ish). Is this a trap?

>>7086450
ya me too. one of my legs is longer than the other by a bit. probably from skating or something. i only ever push with my right leg

>>7086420
>get gym membership
>squats and oats
>abductor/adductor exercises
>Walk like he-man

Exercise generally fixes any posture/motion issues.

>>7086483
ask to see the finished product before ordering, its likely they're really ugly or cowboy boots or something

What's the most versatile boot color? I need something I can wear with black chinos and also light colored jeans

please respond

>>7086497
Actually, when I said custom I meant really completely customized, down to the smallest details. Heck, according to some its better to come in with a picture of the finished product you want and he will reproduce it.

>>7082667

My nigger.
I have the same boots.
Comfy as fuck and good value for their low price. I expected them to fall apart after one winter, they're still going.

>>7086515
still ask if you can see some finished ones to see what the quality is actually like, due to different lasts even if he copied a style it would never be close to the original

>>7086551
This begs the question, how do you check the quality of a pair of boots? The only boots I had before were cheap timberlands for winter.

>>7086503
black, dumbass

>>7086571
quality of the leather
regularity/cleanness of stitching
overall clean design, not full of random-ass paneling like this >>7083759 tasteless shit.

>>7086572
>>7086503
In slightly more polite terms, you generally prefer black leather with black pants.

Brown works well with most other colors through.

>>7086587
Thank you for that answer.

I am going for a pair of clean and simple workboots. Lets see how that will go.

about to cop thorogoods heritage, should i get moc toe or plain toe? They're for work so I'm getting the safety toe model. I prefer plain toe boots that don't turn up at the end, like vibergs. Iron rangers point up too much

>>7086806
definitely dont get moc toe boots. where do you work?

here are mine

>>7087157
Moc toes are icky in general

>>7087224
i wouldnt say ALL mocs are bad, but i would not be able to advocate owning more than a single pair, if that, since they usually are poorly done.

>>7082589

>>7082803

Those look good as a motherfucker.

>>7087224
I dun goofed? I ordered thorogood moc-toes yesterday...

>>7083829
what colour are those

time to inject some taste in to this fucking thread

>>7087567

>>7082453
man I wonder if I got those boots started on /fa/

I know it's Rick so it might have happened anyway, but I didn't see anyone posting that picture until after I did, and I always see them with a 4chan filename

>>7083274
ugly

>>7083369
fuck, stop, I want them so much

>>7083462
that sole isn't very good for winter, you'll want something like a lug sole for that. Also, the leather on the Fred seems to stain pretty easily in my experience

>>7083808
people need to stop posting about how they want viberg and actually buy some and post pics

>>7083139
Cool

>>7082803
would be cool with a proper photograph

>>7082405
>>7082418
>>7083269
>>7083626
>>7083759
>>7083859
ugly and cheap

>>7083901
Where do you live?

>>7082429
>>7082436
Those are not aging gracefully.

>>7083904
Yuketen has done some wingtip moc boots

>>7083829
The color is looking good

>>7083389
yuck

>>7083495
hard to tell much about the texture and color of the leather from such a bad picture

>>7083569
between the 'casually loose' belt and that scarf/leather jacket combo, that fit is rubbing me the wrong way

>>7083594
going strictly by appearances, that doesn't look like one of the better Red Wing leathers

>>7087569
for that dude who always posts the munsons

I'll throw in some of the underrepresented Red Wing models

>>7087572
yo dude, about time you showed up

>>7087578
>not posting these

>>7087589
I don't love the ones in darker colors, doesn't feel like Red Wing to me

>>7087572
how many people on /fa/ do you think actually own a pair of Vibergs? I certainly don't, though I wish I had that kind of money.

more supersole

>>7087596
I actually have no idea. I don't have any.

>>7082667
I bought a pair last year and they were amazing until the damn zipper started fucking up constantly.

>>7087600
At least you have Red Wing stores. You know what happens in Canada if you want your 875s repaired/resoled? You contact your local cobbler.

>>7082667
i think i have those ones.

i like them because they are skinny.
i can't get iron rangers because size 13 looks huge.

this thread is making me be about to cop more boots.

I'm not only going to post mocs, just getting them out of the way first

>>7087609
it's weird that the ones they sell at the store have American flags pinned on them.

in general I'd like to see more Alden boots that aren't the Indy

>>7087638
I'm sitting up here in Canada thinking about measuring my feet and sending in my hopefully-correct measurements to get a pair, and you can just saunter in and get measured

I'm jealous

the new tanner x danner boots, almost bought them but I didn't because I got the other tanner x danner ones instead

>>7087649
Seriously though, I need to go visit it sometime.
I'll probably get a pair before I leave for grad school next year.

also, I never do this, but capcha = Life butholel

Here is a beginner question, but this thread has the pros so i know you can answer:

What boots are considered workwear, what are casual, and what are formal?
do combats boots fit in with workwear?

use pics please.

>>7087656
holy shit, those are sexy

thoughts on Heschung? Also I feel like this Mr Porter image doesn't look accurate, color-wise.

>>7087574
that was me, I think I didn't have a trip back then though

I had less to post back then, my folder is like 20x larger now

>>7087660
yes you do

get something sweet like a triple vamp fishing oxford with a 2060 sole

What do you think about Belstaff Townmasters?

>>7087663
combats would probably be their own category, but equal to workboots in formality.
>>7083618 is a great example of more formal boots.

>>7087668
they even have a video for them

http://vimeo.com/76636012

I would like to see more pictures of some of the Rancourt & Co boots. These were done for Eastland

>>7087672
not digging the fur on those personally.

Also, im the dude who always posted Moto/Viberg etc. I'll trip for the purposes of boot threads

Here's some that I own (not mine in pic)

I post these a lot but they're cool tho

cabourn x viberg

>>7087702
and these are mine also

>>7087702
I know, my senses tell me that the fur is super tacky, but sometimes I get bored of the tasteful stuff, and maybe that leads me into being easily impressed with anything 'different'

Palladiums.

>>7087600
if your goal is to fuck poor girls
why are you spending money on nicer clothes?

if you bring a white trash bitch into a home with nothing but vincenzo de cotiis or paul kajaerholm with the music from ss12 ck collection. minmalist ensamble music playing shes going to think youre going to rape her corpse

why don't you stick to target furniture

Got these couple of weeks ago. Friend says they're ugly. They're polar fox. I've never bought boots but I thought I'd get some for those winter. Comfortable as fuck. Thoughts?

>>7087737
The light stitching is ugly, but plebs will like them.

These? They also have them with silver eyelets

>>7087748
omg contrast stitching is like the #1 giveaway that a shoe is shit, I don't know why so many posters don't notice it

>>7087734
>if your goal is to fuck poor girls
why are you spending money on nicer clothes?
there are several reasons actually.
firstly, i dress to look good for myself. certainly you don't dress up just for women, right?

secondly, there are plenty other aspects in my life besides fucking girls, and as i've spoken about regularly here, clothes make very little difference in my (and others) success with them.

thirdyly, i don't want to cop red wing boots because they are $300. i want to cop them because they are cool.

>if you bring a white trash bitch into a home with nothing but vincenzo de cotiis or paul kajaerholm with the music from ss12 ck collection. minmalist ensamble music playing shes going to think youre going to rape her corpse
i don't bring girls to my place. too many reasons not to and only a few benefits. but at 23, im hooking up with girls in a similar age range. simply having my own place would suffice.
not to mention that, again, i wouldn't be buying furniture or decorating to win affection from girls.
that is how betas and pussys live their life.

women try to impress me.
a girl who has no interest in fashion, all of a sudden gets one and begins to dress nicer after spending time around me.

a girl who hates rap, all of a sudden will take an interest in it after riding around with me.

etc.

>>7082667
w2c

Mine. I'm 6.4. Don't use them though, feel like a giant wearing them.

>>7087778
also the fact that they look like they're made of plastic...

>>7087915
white camel leather

Got some katahdins, they need breaking in though.

These are the ones I'm wearing now. They feel so good.

Neil Barrett armor boot in black, can't decide.

cop?

>>7082807
hnnnnggg

guess the brand

>>7088032
I bought mine a month ago, highly suggest using some mink oil or that shit they have at the store for rainproofing. they will look better and feel nicer. they will get slightly darker fyi but look way better

>>7082494
sauce on these?

>>7087904
copped at jack fucking jones in Montreal this winter

>>7088562
I need these. Name please?

>>7087915
That's the most persuasive reason, I agree

but usually contrast stitching is the first sign, before you look closely at the leather

>>7088664
thorogood?

>>7088962
tru lol, its pretty hideous

>>7086329
No there genuine calfskin

>>7082390
What are those black marks on those iron rangers? I have them on mine are they bad?

These are my shit-boots.

They get the job done just fine, but for twice the price I could have gotten boots that would probably last 10 times as long and actually look good.

Anywho, at least they were doing man-work.

>>7087774
I love them

Keep the black eyelets

i'm not sure if I should get these or not

>>7083504
Classy as a motherfucker, I just wanna know what brand of shotgun that is.

>>7083541

Gold watch on a white guy, ugh.

Nice boots, however.

>>7086501
>squats and oats
/fit/ was her. Sup brah.

>>7087567
Would love but:
1) zero tread
2) brand new brown shoes look like shit to me.

>>7089645
That tread looks like a basketball, lol.

Pass.

>>7088562
>>7088938
pls respond

Are tacticool boots effay?

>>7089692
The soles on those get blown really fast.

>>7089775
>Are tacticool boots effay?

No. And this is from a guy who wears pic related.

>>7089714
reminds me of the kick arse KVA boots he did in AW11

>>7089775

Vintage German pilot boots? Yes. The fake carbon fibre monsters you posted? No.

My RWs. They need a good cleaning but
Would you recommend different laces?

Anybody have any boot tips for a fuccboi with size 16 feet?

my RWs. need a proper cleaning and better photo

>>7090004
chop off your toes

>>7090141
That's pretty effay

>>7089947

If those are a heritage pair of redwings (which i think they are) call in and ask for a pair of heritage leather laces, they'll mail them to you free of charge! Might be fun to try.

>>7088664
Nigga I have the same ones. Damn good boots. Thorogoods, and you cut the American flag logo off.

How do you treat yours?

>>7088702
Would leather protector work as good? Mink oil is fairly rare around here.

>>7082405

Still looking for these.

Just bought these off ebay, for the northern Swedish winters.

What do you think?

So I know /fa/ has a pretty good segment of boot wearers that hate Doc Martin's with a passion.

I don't care either way, but I have a chance to get a pair of new DMs for like 50% off, and the $100 Sears boots I have are starting to die.
I just want to know how the 'bouncing soles' wear.
They feel like they're made of marshmellows and fairy farts.
