Just about any boot is going to look bulky with skinny jeans. You really have to either be willing to own that look or just not wear boots with skinny jeans.

>>7099099
In that case, 1K or Iron Rangers?

>>7099106
1ks Iron rangers have a big toebox

>>7099076
>skinny jeans

Yeah no, nothing bulkier than desert boot or slim chelsea boot.

>>7099076
Am I the only one who thinks Vibergs have too small toe box? They always look like somekind of weird slippers to me due to that sharp as fuck tip.

>>7099150
Pretty as fuck leather. Dat sole on the other hand looks like solified vomit

>>7099156
It's not just you. I hate their "unstructured toebox" boots. Their structured ones on the other hand...

>>7099150
Dude, have you ever actually owned anything with those rubber soles? They are the shit. I wish all my shoes had those.

Dartmouth, Windsor smith
these are quite thin, could wear with skinnier jeans than most others.

Not sure what other people think though

Every time I go out, the toes get all scratched up. Putting conditioner on them fixes it, but I can't condition them every fucking day.

What do? also

>tfw have a terrible color, look terrible

Just got these red wing 1907s yesterday. What does /fa/ think? Also a lil unsure of how to rock them, since their my first pair of boots.

>>7099076
OSB trenches look decent. They are slim-ish profile without looking mashed like some Vibergs.

>>7099403
Dude, most people like worn-looking boots.
That's CXL right? get a shoe brush and brush them at the end of each day you wear them. Takes like 20 seconds.

>>7099415

oh, okay. this is my first pair of boots, heh.

is there anything i can do about the color?

>>7099403

They are meant to be worn by contractors son
Grow a pair and live in them

>>7099398
these look good, does anyone have any experience with windsor smith?

>>7099418
you cooouuld use a colored polish and gradually darken them if you wanted, but it might fuck something up, like stain the stitching sor something.

Up to you man. If it were me, I'd probably use some cordovan polish and turn them that dark red/maroon color.

Also, for Hip$ter gets here:
I copped a pair of these on clearance at Context in Madison. Gorgeous shoes.

>>7099432

I really like the coppery/rusty brown in a lot of boots, and I really don't like the red.

Also, in a lot of boots, there seems to be variation/fading in color. Does that come with wear? My boots seem to be one solid color.

>>7099403
Do you trip every 5 seconds or something? I rarely get scratches on the toe box.

>>7099470

I'm just as confused as you are. My best guess is the stairs I walk up at university.

>>7099398
Really like the silhouette of these. Anyone know of the quality? Or can anyone recommend a quality brand that has a similar make?

>>7099454
shit son i have a pair of green ones and they are my favorite shoes

>>7099461
usually comes with wear + exposure to water and stuff yeah.

>>7099470
>>7099480
Yeah seriously dude, my black CXL boots are very easily scratched, but they still rarely actually get any. And I ride my bike while wearing them.

>>7099398
Those are some GOOD looking boots

But can anyone tell me why they tie the shoelace around the neck like that? That doesn't even look good.

>>7099493
Noice. Yuks are fantastic. Hopefully someday I will own a pair of the full-size hunt boots.
That or some Qoddy Grizzly boots

>>7099405
I've had a pair for about 9 months. Love em.

>>7099398
Not to poop on your parade man, but I don't like those - they look pretty cheap materials + craftsmanship. Also fucking zippers. Maybe they're ok or good for the money, idk, but I would never personally mess around with boots that cheap. They'll just wear out super quick and look shitty and get holes.

>>7099369
So in love with these iron rangers - what colour is this though?

>>7099605
Not the guy but fairly sure that's the amber harness.

>>7099607
thank you kind sir

>>7099405
wanting to know aswell how to dress with 1907

>>7099405
>>7099641
Basically don't be a skinny ass kid. They are pretty bulky boots.

>>7099651
b-b-but those are 875's

>>7099663
Wouldn't be 100% sure, 875 has very strongly upward curved nose. Anyway doesn't even matter which one they are, they are so similar anyway that same rules and advice apply.

>>7099534
did you have any breaking in with these ? I've got a heel blister on one foot from walking in these, the other boot is perfect so far. I'm new to boots and I'm just wondering if this is normal for stiff leather.

So I know a lot of people on /fa/ hate DMs, but I have a chance to get pretty much any pair for like 50% off.

I have a question about the sole though. I've never owned a pair before. How does the sole wear? I just gotta know because they feel like they're made from marshmellows and fairy farts.

pic unrelated.

>>7099403

wolverine 1Ks are made with pull up leather, and is supposed to get marked up easy. fortunately all it takes is a rub with your finger to make the marks go away.

don't know what pull up leather is? i am here to inform! have a look:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-WUzyEtL2E

>>7099850
What are those black marks? Mine have them are they normal?

What boots can I wear that won't make me look like a dad? I'm 18

>>7100943
A better question is, 'What boots won't make me look like Frankenstein or a fuccboi.'

w2c some good Chelsea boots in Australia? I want a Cuban heel. Considered RMs but I'd prefer something a bit more 'rocker' like pic related from SLP, but without the sky-high price

>>7100943
what boots are those?

>>7100943
>docs
>OP pic
>anything that isn't brown or with a moc toe

>>7099109
Yes

>>7101040
Viberg Service Boot

>>7099076
are these Viberge service boots??

Just copped them.

>>7101024
>Chealsea boots in Australia

Negro, we're the home of the RM williams brand of boots, occasionally I have shipped them overseas for people on both SFs because the prices here can be pretty great online

>>7101173
RMs are great I agree b-but
>muh Cuban heels
They have one boot with a block heel which is similar, but not quite the same. Their only Cuban heel has rodeo stitching and a square toe box

>>7101172
Good cop. I really like those.

>>7101172
What are they?

>>7101172
shit nigga, im jelly

what boots are so beastmode that it'll make anyone suck your dick as soon as it gets in their line of sight?

>>7101399
timbs

>>7101415
what if i have one foot lugz the other timbs.

>>7101429
fucking lol

seriously made my night

>>7101436
>mfw i was serious

;_;

>>7101371

They are VibergxWanderWonder collab. I copped them at 20% off in Singapore.

>>7101399
White Kloud nigga

>>7101518
They ugly as fuck, but the craftsmanship is insane

Would you wear crinkly paper boots?

>>7101238
>hey have one boot with a block heel which is similar, but not quite the same. Their only Cuban heel has rodeo stitching and a square toe box
Just get a MTO custom with whatever you want. I agree that the stock cuban model is pretty stupid looking, but if you just want that kind of heal with some other features go made to order - 4-6 weeks - bang - boot of your dreams/

Which ones /fa/?

>>7102571
Or these?

>>7102573

dark m80

Hey guys, I am also wondering about this. I don't wear skinny jeans but I wear slim jeans because my legs are thin. Boots generally look silly. I liked the look of those dartmouth windsor boots earlier in the thread but they seem to be from Australia and I live in Ireland.

>>7102583
That's what I was thinking.
Welp, now I have to wait 6-7 weeks.

>>7102571
>>7102573

Saw these on their Facebook page, they look very bulky in person. Do not cop.

But if I have to choose, I like captoe.

>>7102701

Pic related.

>See boot threads erry day.
>Almost never see these boots in WAYWT threads.

Do you guys dress like the guys on ironheart forums?

>>7102760

shit thats a good point. Maybe well start seeing them for fall/winter though

>>7102571
>>7102573
These look nice and slim.
>>7102701
Are you sure that they're actually bulky?

>>7103344
nah nigga, they aint bulky. In >>7102711 you can see he's intentionally leaving his loosely laced to make them bulkier. see my earlier pics for a better reference.

>>7102760
Never been there. I wear raws or brown duck workpants or regular skinnies and plain AA sweatshirts or sweaters when its cold enough. (which is most of the year here in WI)
Goofygoober or anything even close would be autismal beyond belief where I live.

I like this look, but I wear better-fitted pants than this

copped brand new for $35

Anybody know of any nice brown leather zippy boots?

>>7106125
;( i want them

>>7099156
I like it. Its kind of like a cowboy boot but you dont look like a redneck

>>7099405

jeans, t shirt, field jacket

>>7099109
hnnng w2c

>>7106624
Oh man those are handsome

w2c

I really like the look of 1ks, but they're impractical given that it'll probably snow soonish. What do?

>>7106635
Get the Beckman or change the soles on the 1K Miles?

http://www.redwingheritage.com/boots#&f=&m=/detail/9016-heritage-us/9016-red-wing-heritage-mens-beckman-boot-cigar

>>7099076
chelsea boots, desert boots, doc martens

or switch up your jean game if you're not into twink footwear

>>7106651
Yeah, I think I'll go with the beckman. That was my idea initially, but I was wondering if there were any alternatives closer to the 1k without having to spend another $50 or so + time to get them resoled.

>>7100807
the construction of dms holds up reasonably well for what they are

>>7102386
I just went through the MTO section of the RM Williams page, only options were colour, size and fit. No option for Cuban or box heel. It only displays the signature boot

>>7099534
>>7099405
Are 1907s any good in crappy weather? Does the sole actually have any traction?

Are these good boots?http://www.pfflyers.com/Grounder-Xhi/PM13GM3,default,pd.html
They are for a lunarcore fit

I'm grabbing these, they're slim enough to look good with skinnies and the overall shape and color really lends itself to monochromatic fits.

What are some good black boots with brown contrast outsoles that have decent traction and are insulated?

I really like the Wolverine Montgomery's in black but they're all-black and I want the contrast.

I have a pair of Timberland wodehouses in black but they won't hold up for winter.

Speaking of winter, how are Iron Rangers? I bought a pair spring of this year and I want to wear it as a brown winter boot. I just walk to and from school and work so no heavy duty walking in them, but I'd like to know if they're warm enough w/ a thick sock and waterproof.

>>7100807
how did you get that opportunity?
>>7106725
are these the ones on the right? http://www.amazon.com/Dr-Martens-Gibson-1461-Vegan/dp/B004SI20MG

>>7106947

Oh and my budget is 100-150 bucks, but feel free to recommend things over that budget. The company I work for gets employee pricing w/ Timberland, Red Wing, Doc Martens, pretty much any boot company that makes steel toe boots in Canada, so I get some good deals.

>>7099510
In ROTC they make us wrap the lace around the boot and stuff it in the boot. I think it's more reliable than tying it into a knot

So I wear a 10.5 for Nike Flyknits...what would you say my size for Red Wings would be? 9.5? 9?

>>7099150
these are beautiful but that sole is blegh. wish they didn't ruin such a beautiful boot

>>7099233
>>7108051
The soles are fine. You can resole them to whatever the fuck you want once it wears down.

>>7106764
Yeah, the website has gone to shit.
If you can still do so, download their catalog on pdf. There should (still, at least) be this option up there.
Or, look at one of their retailers like bootsonline. They display more options. Just email one of the retailers and say what you want. They'd probably be able to give you an estimate.

>>7108211
>If you can still do so, download their catalog on pdf. There should (still, at least) be this option up there.
Oh, if the catalog is still around, it should have a template order form for custom made to ordered stuff.
I wouldn't recommend buying from RMW themselves, as there's no advantage and their online retailers sell for 100 bucks less in some models. (bootsonline, nungar trading, aussiebushhats, portphillip trading etc., etc.)

>>7108211
>>7108217
cheers cobber

>>7107292
Well maybe once you actually make it into the military you'll understand.

Usually people just tie it up top and tuck it in.

>>7099415
w2c

Wait, so I shouldn't wear boots with slim tapered jeans? Like 511s?

>>7111517
511's will most likely be fine, as it is a slim fit. Unless you have gigantic feet.

However, if you have 510's or something else super skinny, they may look like clown shoes.

How well do Doc Martin's soles wear? They seem like they wouldn't last long.

>>7099454
Madison on /fa/? Who the fuck is you?

>>7099454
gratz

I'm still waiting for these in the mail

>>7112275
though there are many other Danner boots I would have liked, too

picking just one was hard

>>7112283

>>7111772
They last for ages m8, I've had a pair for about 4-5 years that I sometimes skate in and use as an emergency brake, and I still haven't needed to replace the soles

anyone got any chelsea boot recs?
