Seconding my a final time, maybe someone has advice.

1. I'm looking for service boots, it's important they still look casual. So rough design and/or suede.
2. My budget is merely around 300 euro/$350 and I am based in Europe. So my choices are very limited.

The best one I found so far are these Yankos. They look way better on photos than the product page.

I did. get the White's MP. I've been in the same position as you, wasting small amounts of money for shit boots when I should have coughed up the full amount for a good pair. Going cheap cost me more in the long run and I wish someone had warned me to get White's instead of wasting all that time/money going through cheap shit

Is it me or are the brass boots softer than diesels, despite being sold as a more rugged boot?

>>18296740
>wasting all that time/money going through cheap shit

Yankos look like an okay compromise, they're not Thursdays but rather something in-between Meermin and Carmina

you're right, they look better

i generelly wouldn't spend over $500 on a casual boot. youre hitting diminishing returns fast.

if you spend over 500 on boots, than on something classic like Crockett & jones.

>>18297109
What does this has to do with what I said? If anything I agree that european bootmakers are pretty obscure even in europe. Docs are widely known. Military surpluss are fairly common. Thursday is great at online advertising so of course anybody looking for info online will run into them.

Just use a brush to take off excess matter before you soap and condition them. Don't worry too much about anything that would affect the stitching. Nothing you do is going to fuck the stitching up unless you like dump acid on it.

Most of them are Italian and British, obviously. Contrary to what people would assume, all of the Italian brands listed use the Goodyear Welt.
Fracap is one of the best not only because one of their pairs can last a lifetime, but also because they look unique and have a very distinct style.
This is an extremely succint list. I don't know about French boots, for example. If you're really into this do your own research.

Paraboot Heschung and Joseph Malinge have their own factories in France.
Jacques & Démeter shoes are made by Joseph Malinge.
Malfroid shoes are made in Spain by who know who. I've added them to the list because they make some good looking stuff (picrel).

I've taken my French Mle 1965 back and forth multiple times to a cobbler to try solve a loud squeeking sound in the sole.

At this point only option feels like resole( the rubber is hard anyway) which costs like 150€

Worth the investment? They are 59 year old boots, but the quality of the leather is comparable to something that would cost 500 quid these days, and these are my only formal boot, and I'd end up paying 150 or more for decent alternative brown boots anyway.

What do you think

(Picrel aren't mine, I've restored my leather to much better condition)

>>18298272
please don't tell me you're actually wearing those as formal

when do you tuck your pants into your boots, if ever?

The problem is that people are replying to posts that don't start with a capital letter. Low class people don't have valid opinions on decent boots.

Poor quality aside, it's a low status goyslop boot. Imagine being so poor that you can't muster up an extra hundred or two for a boot that's made in a first world country and contributes to first world economies. Imagine walking around all day wearing some pieces of shit made with crappy third world mystery leather slapped together by a bunch of Mexican wagies being paid $4/hour.

Shilouette on Iron Rangers is gonna be pretty close to what you're wearing, so I'd consider blacksmiths instead. Or you could try the new beckmans if you're willing to spend more. But since you're actually going to a physical store, just try everything that cayches your eye and see which one you like the most. Do not hesitate to try different colors either.

Ropetard, you've been asking the same question over and over for years and get the same answers. I don't know why you expect a different answear for the same question.
