Yeah I'd say so, only paid £23 for mine and I'd say they're well worth it, I'd recommend you get a newer pair than mine which would still only be about £35. But I would definitely recommend them even if you do get some like mine, they're well built solid and only slightly less comfortable than most of my other boots (removed squeaky insole they came with)

I'm in the uk, got mine from a seller on ebay, asking as you're using PayPal for the payment though its pretty easy to get your money back and on eBay its even easier as eBay always side with the person buying the goods, quite a lot of places online went out of stock shortly after I got mine (at the height of the memeing) but there are hundreds of milsurp websites its just a pain to search through them all

Ivan who occasionally posts here has a website called commandostore.com and his boots look to be in really good shape (apparently shipping is a bit pricey though)

there's always brick and mortar milsurp stores so just look for some near you because unless its some sort of tacticool store appealing to edgy 14 year olds they'll usually be quite a bit cheaper than the online sellers

What did he mean by this

I reccomend people don't buy doctor martens and if you choose to believe me I was the original solovair shill over a year ago now.

The racing green ones are from the 80s when they were still mie and they were £25 anyway so amazing value and would've been worth it just for the slightly different design (slimmer boot, tunnel eyelets) even if they were chinkshit, the black 1460s were 50% off and they were my first pair of boots but i didn't know to avoid them back then. The industrials are actually pretty decent boots, and I got the 1914s for the height and iconic look (skinhead) but they do seem to be much better quality than my other China docs and have the comfiest footbed out of any shoes I've ever worn, the leather isn't quite as good as my solovairs but its not far off.

Nah m80, pretty much any leather boots without zips, its not like a black mannequin situation that all boots with zips are terrible its just that zips 'neuter' the boots theyre on because either you don't lace them as tight as they should be in order to make zipping easier or you lace them as tight as they should be but the added stress on the zip causes them to fail quicker.

Why are Docs considered meme boots? I've been considering getting some 1940s and don't want to waste my money

>> No.9398

Nearly everyone has a pair so theyre common AF
They accidentally ruined their image with their punk skinhead mod 'stand for something' advertising campaign which was jumped on by sjws
Every single pairs RRP is £40 too high

The 1940s was discontinued at the same time as quite a lot of their other skinhead (and to a lesser extent 'punk') suitable boots so if you do get a pair its likely no warranty.
Don't let what other think dictate what you wear though, if you want some then get some, I would personally lean more towards a pair of grinders which are available with and without the aircushion sole

Those are the boots I was talking about, really good for the price, slightly different design I know, if you want something closer to the 1940s then solovair make 14i steels with the exact same design however these will likely be ~£175 +-25 as theyre made in england but will be much better quality than the actual 1940s

On the left is the new boots I bought from All Saints; fuckin comfiest boots I've ever worn, they fit perfectly, and they add 2 inches to my manlet height. Really happy with them.

Boots on the right are the ones I'm replacing; got em at Nordstroms for a song but they are falling apart.

I cleaned and conditioned the All Saints with Kiwi Mink Oil which darkened them nicely and weatherproofed them. Didn't know you were supposed to do that, glad I know now.

How often should I be conditioning them? I've seen everything from weekly to monthly to once a year.

>> No.9405

Different boots look better with different trousers you'll have to experiment for the most part. Work boots usually look better with the trousers tucked in and most other boots look better cuffed.

Trousers which are worn with boots should be slim fit though, being tight on the calves. None of this stretch denim stuff though otherwise your boots will look overly clunky. So try and match the width of your boots with the width of your trousers

My solovairs just arrived, turned out I accidentally ordered greasy black, and not hi-shine. Do they look ok, are they less versatile?
Also, how important is leather thickness? This pair feels like no breaking in will be necessary.

How's the sizing of Solovairs (pref with steel-toes) compared to Taiwan-made 1490s? I'd love a pair of 14i-steel-toed ones and by just measuring the insole I have and inside the boot tells me that I should go with size 9UK. Should I be aware of steel-toe taking up more space than just a regular toe-cap.

Take the leather inner sole out, its more then likely they'll be squeaky as fuck, also if you work around oily or wet surfaces your fucked because they suddenly have zero friction when you move around in it.

Hmm, depends on the colour of your boots, if they're black you're okay but if they're red you have to be more careful with the colours, I can't imagine red boots working with cargo trousers but even if it did, avoid anything that looks too militaristic, black is a safe pick here

Thinking about these, $25 + 12.50. Would be worn with pants over

I bought the Austrian meme boots a size too big and kommandostore sold out of my size by the time I got around to reordering. Feels bad man. Lots on ebay but they're all UK sellers. Otherwise I like them, they're more understated than most other old school combat boots I've seen.

Found them on ebay. There are several other used pairs listed by other sellers. Looks like the model name is "fort lewis". It also specified them to be 200g, not sure if that's unique to this model or if they make their models in different weights.

I've not come to /fa/ for a while not, but back then western wear was discussed here. I just say a boot thread so I thought I'd ask. Hell, the second post is a question about western/cowboy boots.

Lucchese also doesn't just make western wear, they also have english style riding boots as well and more subtle western style, not just exoctic leather western wear.

If you don't actually know anything about the brand, that's fine, but don't make assumptions and then tell me to fuck off to somewhere else in a fucking general boot thread.
