The more i wear boots the more I realize that Dainite soles are overrated when it comes to grip.
They're slippery as fuck in rain and snow and if it's ice, forget about it, you're gonna die.
They look really nice though, way better than any sort of lug sole. But the lug soles grip way better

You're engaging in tactical nihilism. The only boot that gets shilled more than iron rangers is docs/solovair.

Also i'm that anon from a few threads back that asked about using half chaps.
The Timberland Stormbucks didn't end up fitting to well (the next size up practically fell off my foot, and the half size i was wearing cut my circulation off when sitting down) so i'm looking for chelsea boots again.

Everywhere else in Cardiff I've looked either sell fancy dress shoes that will fall apart in real use or don't make then out of quality materials ;-;

Looking for a pair made from black full grain leather, with a thick goodyear welted sole. I guess I've got a wise foot so something that's available with wider sizes would be great. Single layered construction with no lining or membrane is preferable.

You could also just try finding the boots in black in the first place.

Anyone in here have experience with the redwing merchants?
Is the fit/profile similar? That or can anyone recommend me a boot with a slim profile that wont begin to break after a month?
Shit is starting to get really irritating.

If I went with the shoe polish, would I just keep applying it every few weeks? I'm in no rush to get these black immediately, I just mostly wear black jeans, and tan boots don't really seem to go with them.

Interestingly enough, it looks like a lot of people are using black dye VS the polish.

Redwing will also apparently dye them for you for $60, but I'm cheap.

These used to be brown, but the texture on this is freaking me out. i'm not sure if his shoes were like that before or after the dye.

If you aren't in a rush then yeah blacking over time is best, assuming they're real leather at least, I've heard stuff about fake leather just letting polish build up.

>>14134892
Most surplus boots for function. Just don't buy bright neon shit and you'll be fine. Anything made of real leather and made well should look decent and last you a long time if you don't buy a fashion brand. If you are going to be doing this often a cheap pair will most likely wear down in time and look shit and transfer than shitness to your feet. Consider the boots mentioned in this post for slightly /fa/ looking stuff that's somewhat functional. >>14127646
