Okay so I'm apparently going to be the bootblack at a local fetish-event, coming up in a month. Do ya'll think I could manage through the night with these supplies or should I get something else to go along with these? First timer to this kind of shit

>three polishing brushes (black, omni, brown)
>2 tubes of black polish and few canisters of wax-based black polish, 2 tubes of >omnicolour polish
>2-3 canisters of leather balsam/wax
>leather oil, like one big 500ml canister
>toothbrush for cleaning out nooks and crannies and three towels, one for buffing, one for the oil and one for cleaning
>different sponges for spreading every type of polish (+ one for the leather wax) and one >brush for spreading the wax-based black polish

You guys think this would be enough? So far I've found out it's mostly big guys in big biker boots, if someone comes up to me in over-the-knee greasy leather boots, I'd at least have some wax there. But as you'd imagine, it'll most likely be dudes wearing Wesco, Chippewa, some Dr. Martens and other skinhead/punk-rangers and basically shiny boots.

Lennon work boots are big, chunky, heavily made things. They are what they say on the tin; work boots made on lasts, patterns and machines from literally a century ago. They make some slimmer town syle boots too.

no clue, but i bit the bullet and grabbed a pair of unnailed low boots. being prototypes they did have several quality control issues: mine were a few milimeters off when they were lasted, meaning the quarters don't perfectly align when left and right are juxtaposed, and the leather varies quite a bit in thickness. other than the leather gauge jackboots should be less susceptible to these problems, but enjoy eating shit slipping on steel nails, because they aren't making any plain leather soled boots anymore, apparently. Otherwise they've held up very well to legit /out/ing in the snow, but make sure to correctly maintain leather soles

>>14013562
There is nothing better than Red Wing for that price range. That's why Red Wings are so popular, they're very good value for the money. Comparably priced brands like Wolverine, Thursday and Chippewa are not as good as Red Wing and use foam insoles, shitty Chromexcel leather and other lesser stuff than Red Wing uses for the same prices.

There is nothing wrong with Red Wing at all. Iron Rangers are kind of a meme but the Merchants are absolutely gorgeous and they have new styles out too like the Wiliston that look good. But there are brands better than cost more so Red Wing is a decent entry level brand for people figuring out what they like before shelling out more money for Aldens or Whites or Vibergs or something like that.

>That's why Red Wings are so popular, they're very good value for the money.

I understand where this statement is coming from but popularity, even in this case, is not entirely due to good value.

Red Wing's leather is in-house whereas some of the other boot companies listed buy from Horween. There is no guarantee or information that Red Wing aren't also using chrome salts in their tanning process. That is without even getting in to how each boot company chooses to finish their leather, if at all.

Red Wing are fine but so are most of the other boots in that price range. Red Wing as a company are more involved in promoting themselves on social media and maximizing their profits through globalization.

Chippewa are less fashionable but have many practical boots that ordinary working folks actually buy. If you want something different then check them out. Danner as well.

Always been interested in them, as I've always taken an interest in aussie made cheaper (than rm's) footwear ever since blundstone sold out and outsourced entirely to Asia, but I can't find anywhere that stocks them where I could try them on. The newest model that's all dress is made in portugal or romania or some shit, but they had a less elegant aussie made model in previous years that was their dressy equivalent.

It was hard to even find a seller that stocked the desert boots rossi makes. No idea where the fuck they sell their stuff. Dunno who buys the non work stuff as there doesn't appear to be anywhere you can buy them and try them on.

Disappointing. They do have a work boot with a flat rubber sole though. Waiting on the light colour to become available in that style so I can darken it to dark tan.

Anyway, I got a pair of their desert boots in Adelaide, got no idea who stocks them elsewhere but you could try emailing them.

No, it looks as bad and autistic as wearing combat boots with regular clothes.

If you're not a soldier in uniform don't wear combat boots. I'm talking actual combat boots, like the coyote tan ones that soldiers get issued and buy.

Same with hiking boots, they're not /fa/, they don't look good, they serve a purpose and don't need to be worn when not doing that purpose.

for the last ten years I wore a low key trekking shoe and it was perfect since in my line of work I often go over unpaved areas but the sole was soft enough you could drive in it easily.
I would like something with a solid, grippy sole, would be about ankle high but not above ankle and would be both sturdy and breathing enough so I could wear it all year round.

Hi again, was the person from the last boot thread that was looking for a pair of long, black, full grain leather boots with thick soles and a good year welt. Needed to be available in the UK which effectively cut me off from the biker boot market in the US.

After many hours looking for what I want I've come to the conclusion that they either don't exist in the combination I want, or will cost me an insane amount in shipping back and forth so I think I've got a good compromise.

chelsea-style boots seam to be much more commonly available, especially in person so I should be able to find my size easily. But they actually seem to be available with thick welted soles as opposed to the paddock boots they look similar to.

As far as I can tell, I can just pair them with leather half chaps to get the length i need, but without having to worry about finding a long boot that fits both my foot and leg. I also guess they would dry faster and be more versatile if i need something less odd looking for formal stuff?

Timberland seam to have a decent selection, and afaik are well built enouth for what I need them for.
https://www.timberland.co.uk/shop/en/tbl-uk/men-footwear-chelsea-boots#esp_cf=COLOR_FAMILY&esp_filter_COLOR_FAMILY=Black

Half chaps seam to be something I can actually buy online as long as the sizes are listed (hard to fuck up basic circumference right?), and this way I don't have to compromise the boots with a zipper that will eventually break.

Is this a good idea or am I missing something important?

>>14015187

Why would I be mad that some retard bought shitty boots that neither look nor feel good? Especially since Docs are for lesbians and teenagers.
If anything I feel sorry for you.

Are dries boots as good as Ann ds?

What's the consensus on Thursday boots? Their boots come in wide sizes and don't look like ass so they're my only option for the price range.

Anyone have experience with Asos designed boots? I really like these but $87 sounds to good to be great quality.

trying to go for a vaguely military look anyway. Wool/synth-wool trousers, knit-sweaters, overcoat. Shit like that. If I could find a coat like pic related, I'd be complete. Finding WWI French greatcoats is a pain and they seem to be the only ones that pin the bottom end up to the knee. I would just dress like that if I could, death-mask and all.

Thoughts on these moccasin boots? They're really high quality but curious if they're too much of a meme

NEED HELP

what are your opinions on WILD RHINO? i love the style and it's not ridiculously expensive (AUD). Has anyone worn them before? what is your thoughts in general? Also when purchasing boots like pic related should I alter my size in anyway to allow for room in the shoe? I'm usually a size 9, should i go up to size 10 or stick with a 9? thanks guys

[Anonymous No.14035688]

>>14035663
No they are not. They are a classical type of boots that's been around since the victorian era, around 1850s and they will still be around long after you die. But you kinda need to dress for them. It does not look good if you wear them and then you have a very zoomer-like outfit to match them.

Looking to pick up my second (first depending on your opinion on docs) pair of boots. Docs are in black so I'm looking for brown in the $300 price range. Any suggestions on brands?

Dr Martens 1460s. Do they run big? I’ve bought a pair and they seem quite roomy is this normal? Should I swap them for the next size down? Thanks in advance.
