BOOTS THREAD.

I'm looking for some combat boots or Chelseas, in black. Considering buying Common Projects or APC. Got any suggestions? Less pricey alternatives?

Also, know of any other brands that make boots with a similar silhouette to Viberg? There's that one brand from Asia that someone mentioned. Any news on that?

Pictured is user's RO combat boots, if anyone wants to know.

You would probably be safe sizing down. I wear size 9 in most shoes and there is a bit of extra room at the toe in my size 9 docs. So long as your feet aren't too wide you should be fine.

Measuring my foot like in the picture my foot is 10 inches long and 3&3/4 wide. A size 9 fits with a decent amount of room on me. Hope this helps.

it could contribute to the industry. maybe some guy who doesn't find a deal on used rm williams will buy a new pair instead. maybe some guy out there somewhere will be more likely to make a purchase because he knows that there's a good chance he can sell them secondhand if he gets bored of them.

I have those they'll turn a very pleasant dark bordeau with time and care. I wear them with anything except bordeau pants (which I rarely even wear anymore)

you can get them all black from the factory, or you can just paint the line of stiching. I taped my pull tabs inside the shoe even.

How well does mink oil work for black leather boots? I heard it's great for softening leather, but it takes some of the shine away.
