kommandostore has better quality control, if you buy from there you WILL get a decent pair. If you buy from elsewhere they will be cheaper, but it's luck of the draw, as Bubba at Bubba's Surplus Warehouse is picking them out of a crate at random which he never inspected in the first place

i'm in the EU and got mine through a site called "forcesuniformandkit", they were one of the few sites that actually offered my size. but they're not a rare boot so unless kommandostore is the only dude importing them they should pop up elsewhere stateside (they're abundant here)

Has anyone ever bought anything from Beatware? I really love the Lennon's or the Zips, but I have no idea of the quality. There was one Anon a long time ago who said the quality was trash...but I'm tempted heavily by the cuban heel.

I want to get 'one' cuban heel, and I don't want to fuck it up by getting one from a shit brand. Does anyone have experience with them, or could you recommend something else that is better?

Thanks in advance.

i will tell you though, meme or not, iron rangers hold up.
we put third soles on those suckers, and as long as the owner has been nice, they shine up really good.

i don't think i will get around to wearing out any of my boots, unless i live to a ripe old age.
especially since i can just go and put new heels and soles on at my convinience.

Thanks for responding. Both of the suggestions you have are over 1400, whereas the beatwear run around 300 with conversion. Can you give me a specific reason why the extra 1000 makes a difference? I mean, they're leather shoes...I don't expect them to last forever, nor am I buying them for longevity.

It may seem a silly question to ask...but what would I be getting with the extra 1000, aside from the name?

that's gonna be spendy, friendy.
dms nowadays are not traditionally constructed whatsoever.
the "welt" is just a platic trim piece.
any scrupulous shoemaker would tear off the trash, re-welt it, ad a stitched midsole, then put on the outsole.
if somebody tells you they will do it for 50 bucks, all they are gonna do is shit your shoe up bad.
If somebody will do as abive described for 100 bucks, that's a great deal.

If you perceive it as such, well, then I guess you the only one who knows that. It sounds like you are looking for validation on your purchase, but inside you feel like you should have got something more expensive. The most important thing, is how do you feel when you wear the boots.

Its not brand recognition per se. Its quality. Those are boots with fake leather and a glued on sole. They're going to explode in a few years. We aren't going to give you validation on a purchase of some shitty chink boots that are objectively a piece of shit.

If you enjoy them, then great! But don't expect a bunch of autists who spend all their neetbux on expensive footwear to say nice things about a pair with awful construction and materials (which will be the case for $100).

Why even ask for advice if you're going to respond like that anyways? I gave you two alternatives: MiE docs or Solovairs. If you don't want Solovairs (which you should because they're just better boots), at least get fucking MiE docs.

I had a horrible experience with it. It works as expected for the first few days but I noticed my boots got really dried out after that. The leather would show tons of white at creases.
