What do I need to care for my boots?
>Old cotton t shirt (one for cleaning, another for applying conditioners)
>Horsehair brush ($10-15)
>Wooden shoe trees ($10-15)
>Light conditioner like Lexol/Bck4
>Heavy conditioner (if you live in terrible snow/rain areas) Sno seal/Obernauf LP
>Don't forget that boots need time to dry properly, rotate them and don't wear them daily for too long

How do I deal with x stain?
>mud: allow it to dry then brush off
>salt: water and cloth as soon as possible
>saturated wet: allow the boot to dry for a full day, stuff with newspaper
>scuffs and scratches: buff vigorously with horsehair brush

>Should I buy turdsdays/soloshits/doc shitans?
No they are filled with synthetic materials aimed at instant comfort but will not hold up to actual use.
>b-b-but muh ecelebs on youtube said they're good
no. you will waste your time and money and still have uncomfortable footwear at the end of the day. spend the extra $100 and get something real.

The same thing happens every time.
Which makes perfect sense, since cork is inherently a lot less robust than leather.

Those shoe repair channels always show the worst boots/shoes to show off their skill. They love idiots who don’t take care of their shit because it means more money for them. Also go get a pair of gyw boots with cork and a pair of full leather stitchdown boots resoled and tell me which one is cheaper and will get more resoles with out having to have parts of the vamp/upper replaced. When you’re re-soling at proper intervals one is more economical while keeping the upper in good condition.

You shouldn’t need a cleaner unless you’ve stained it or it’s caked in dirt. A good brushing or wipe with a rag followed by conditioner should be enough. If it’s a chrome tanned roughout there are specific greasy leather creams that you may want or just VSC. Shoe trees will help to boot dry and maintain its shape.

I'm the autist who put saphir insoles into his vibergs the other day.
They feel more snug and it's an overall better fit, but the difference in comfort is insane. I never expected a thin leather insole to make such a difference.

Maybe I should buy all my shoes half a size too big and throw in an extra insole from now on.

I own a pair of Carmina boots on the more low profile "commando" sole, the one that doesn't go all the way to the edge and where the middle of the shoe is just the naked leather sole.
The sole is very comfy, I like it a lot.

I have no complaints about the shoes, they have gotten me more compliments than any other pair.
Carmina has very sleek dressy lasts. No major quality or finishing issues, only minor details if you look very close.

Basically just make sure it's the right last and fit for you.

I suggest getting a mild soap bar (Jergens works as saddle soap) for around $1.25 for 3, then buying and using Sno-Seal after a leather conditioner. I use Tarrago neutral, then coat with Sno-Seal for waterproofing. Save your money, and learn to use things that work much better for less cost.

Guys, I'm no longer a poorfag and want to spend some dough on a quality pair of boots (up to $300). I'm in US. Any suggestions?

I'd like something durable, stylish, and versatile (something I can dress up or down).

What are my options or do I need to increase budget?

Thanks friends.

Some do.
They should all do it, leather as filler is vastly superior to cork.
That pic shows how a leather filler can be perfectly reused, and in fact should be since it will have molded to the user's feet perfectly.

I know Viberg says there's no need to condition their boots when you buy them because they are conditioned before they are shipped, but I had no idea how long they've been in a box before I bought them from the retailer, so I thought I'd do it anyway just before winter really starts.

Didn't seem to change their color or darken them at all, honestly not much difference so I guess maybe they didn't need it yet anyway.

This is brown CXL btw

Why are soles with metal protection so hard to find these days? They can allow you to go basically forever without having to resole, just replace the protectors after some years. Unfortunately not even just tip or heel protectors are common, yet those are the parts that wear out the fastest and do so visibly.

I usually glue pieces of rubber under the sole at the tip and heel parts and that way I get no visible wear on them at all, just replacing the rubber after some months.

Just don't walk on ice or marble.

But I really more so mean tip and heel protection, the parts where the wear really eats into the sole. You can find those or have them added by a cobbler, but they are still awfully rare, and I don't think many brands offer shoes with them/the option to add them.

Anon you can't put renovateur on suede or nubuck, although I am not sure what that is

Suede just wants two things, an anti-water spray (Saphir Invulner) every 6 months and a bit of brushie
If you drop something on it then you can use saphir's suede eraser.
If you drop a bowl of chicken grease on it then maybe you actually need saphir's suede soap. But that's extreme.

the Reno is just for general use on my other boots and the brush is just because all I have rn is a synthetic brush
they're kudu which is kinda half way between a nubuck and a smooth leather in character. it's technically smooth finished but matte and kind absorbent. I dont plan to do much of any conditioning because of the color and I'll probably just get some suede guard spray
maybe if I really think it needs it down the road I'll get some bick4

I thought putting a pencil on the vamp to force the leather to crease horizontally and at the correct spot when you first wear new shoes is bogus
But apparently it isn't

There's no point doing it later, after you take the first few steps the leather has already decided how to crease. It cannot be fixed or changed afterwards.

I used Saphir Invulner but have not tested it yet since we get like 300 days of sunshine a year. Mostly got it to avoid stains.

If they are old you and used you may need to buy Saphir's suede soap, comes with a little brush and all. And then you will need to brush the suede to lift up the hairs after it dries, normally for suede it's a crepe brush (softer) or a brass brush (harder) but for day to day de-dusting I just use a normal horsehair brush like all my other shoes.

They are severely overpriced. They used to be half the price of what you pay now for worse QC.

I think I might just ditch the suede matte and just ruin it with mink oil, because my boots are black and it will probably look like leather. I got the boots for $5, I don't want to spend that much on a spray.

It's actually just plain brown CXL, it looks more red in the photo than it actually is.

I guess you can find Grant Stone with brown CXL, should be about half price than the Vibergs.

Carmina also has CXL but you pay a little more than Grant Stone and their lasts are dressy.

For those asking about suede care I finally got around to doing the full Saphir treatment (Omni shampoo + neutral renovateur spray + invulner) on my suede NSTs. Was a bit overdue since they’re 6 years old (probably my most worn pair of Aldens) and in their lifetime have only seen occasional brushing + water proofing spray. The renovateur spray makes a huge difference. I should have bought it sooner.

Here’s a before pic from a few weeks ago. The biggest difference I noticed is the shampooing help get rid if the creasing. The suede was dry before as well so it also feels much softer now.

Nonce argument.
>women stole it so we can't wear it anymore

See: Bomber jackets and field jackets and flight suits and combat boots and denim jackets and corduroy trousers and so many other things.
Women will always steal mens clothing because they have boyfriends.

You should try not being an effeminate bitch while the rest of us continue to wear our clothing that was originally made for us.

Alden’s commando sole. One of the heels has loosened a bit but still has some life in it. The first year or so I wore them pretty much every other day. As I acquired more boots it went down to about 2x a week in the last year or 2. This pair has survived countless Vegas trips walking miles down the strip and having god knows what spilled on them.

>so I might be better served buying shitty boots
nah that's dumb. Don't spend money on bad products
if you already have it that's one thing, but don't go buy shitty boots just so you can rotate.

you can rotate two $300 boots and be fine. Each boot will have a full rest day to dry out. Unless you drenched them, that's plenty of time.
It's when someone wears the same boots day after day after day, constantly sweating in them, that bacteria will start to grow.
