I wanted to buy a boot with a logger heel but it'd look larp as fuck as an office worker.
Do you ever get self conscious wearing boots?
>>18304933Not a dirty soloshitter so no.
i wish my docs would actually break down
>>18304935You don't have boots anyway, ropetard.>>18304954Have you tried wearing them?
Do any pnw bootmakers have sales around black friday / christmas? I want some new ones for winter but could wait if they go -30% or more
>>18304963Prove it and also post your boots or your mom is a whore.
>>18304976You're getting dumber by the day, a feat I thought wouldn't be possible. Ah, I forgot you bought solovairs, do you still have those?
>>18304926There such a thing as having legs too short it makes them look like clown shoes? Picked up these pleather Chinesium things for work, and now that I'm wearing them I suddenly want to go look for actual boots
>>18305030>for workdo you do gigs at children’s hospitals? They’re perfect then
>>18304978Sad to see that your mom is a whore.
>>18304933I would if I wore an American work boot.
>>18304972only time i've seen a sale is when one was about to go out of business or get bought out by new management.if you're patient you can look at their returns page/cinderella rack to see if someone ditched a pair in your size.
Blundstones were selling for $50 Did any of you buy?
>>18305030They'd look better if you uncuffed your pants.
>>18304972whites and franks does black fridaydon't expect -30% on everything, 20 max>>18305129>only time i've seen a sale is when one was about to go out of business or get bought out by new management.what are you even talking about?
How do you feel about brogued, cap toe, boots? I really can't decide if I like them or not because I'm not really sure what fit you would pair them with. Just looking at the style by itself I think they're neat but I'm not sure I could really work it into my fits. I dress white collar at work and I feel like my style after work or on the weekends is too casual for them.
>>18304931Just get one with it lowered a quarter inch like the Whites cutter or cruiser.Or just ask.
>>18305225Cap toe is more casual than plain toe, brogue is more casual than an unadorned cap toe. Generally the more adorned the boot the more casual it is.
>>18305225its a small addition that just adds a little visual interest, i don't think it makes them any more or less "dressy", Service boots aren't dressy in the first place anyway.
>>18305225You can easily pair brogued cap toe vibergs with a casual outfit
>>18305264Are those yours? If they are what size are your feet and what size Viberg did you get?
>>18305327they are not viberg
>>18305225i like them
>>18304926>that feel when I want some Trumans, but they only use ugly brass eyelets and hooks. Anybody know any other reputable boot factories that use nickel hardware? >inb4 Red WingsSorry, but RW are the definition of mid-tier. Also, I've heard that their quality has kind of taken a nosedive since they got popular.

Chat, I just picked up some nubuck Docs for 49 bux. New obviously. W or L?
>>18305623L since the facings are touching
>>18305623that is not nubuck
>>18305627For some reason these for a lot looser than any other docs I’ve worn. I’m assuming it’s just the shit qc
>>18305623>nubuck Docs So post a pic>for 49 bux. Not bad.
>>18305636Maybe they're that style where you're not supposed to lace them all the way up? Like a lot of womens' boots do.
>>18305631>>18305645I’m not a bootfag hence the reason I bought docs but their description says it’s nubuck but I’ll take your word for it>>18305661Sounds gay ngl
>>18305627>t.cankle haver
>>18305691Is it like waxed nubuck or something? Your pic makes it look full grain.
>>18305627>>18305691>>18305636Probably skinny ankles if he is wearing the correct size.
>>18305602>White'sNo dice. All of it is brass hardware, too.
>>18305772Idk bro like I said I’m not really a bootfag so I’m not that informed on materials but it doesn’t feel waxed. It just feels soft almost like a suede.>>18305775Right size. I tried a pair of smooth “leather” ones and another pair of nubuck ones and the nubuck ones were the only ones that touched like that.
>>18305816>pre crease the leather>call it nubuck
>>18305816They probably just imprinted a grain pattern onto the nubuck to make it look more interesting.
>>18305627British boots do that.
It's clearly nubuck.>>18305631>>18305772>>18305819/btg/ even stupider than Reddit kek
>>18305849>It's clearly nubuck.It's waxed nubuck if it's nubuck at all. Can't really make that determination from the pic alone.
>>18305849I've never seen nubuck that's wrinkled more than my sack. what did doc do that poor cow?
>>18305918It's milled/tumbled leather. The description was posted earlier.It's probably half decent and will last way longer than the plastic sole or welt.
>>18305264> Service boots aren't dressy in the first place anywayGrant stone diesel is dressy
I bought some Redwing boots last month and I'm really loving them, however I can't find a good 8 inch boot that I like, what brands can I look at to buy some good quality 8 inch boots? Looking for a fully black one like pic related but with black laces as well
>>18305960Frank's patriot, you can buy black leather laces on their website since you'd be ordering from them or Nick's which is the best place to buy leather laces.
>>18305961Also it is 10 inch but you'll be fine, those 2 inches isn't much.
>>18305947it really isn't but the standard for dress are in the toilet globally so if you wear a service boot with lug soles it's still dresser than 95% of people as long as it's a smooth leather
>>18305961>>18305963I like them but it's a bit too large and the heel is very big
>>18305977most diesels come with not-dainite
>>18305993I know but they're still not dressythey're around smart casual in realitythe edward/cap toe edges towards business casual
>>18306006>they're around smart casual in realityYes. The black diesel (not the one with the leather sole) if used with the thinner laces can be dressed up.t.uses the same in business casual office environment
How long does it take for Red Wings to become more comfortable and less stiff?
>>18306014A week or two depending on leather.
>>18306014336 hours
>>18305978Its the same exact heel size as the boots you posted, but maybe you don't want something like the boot you posted.Take a look at Truman.
>>183060141 year
I consider getting the meme boot. Chelsea, dark brown suede. Talk me out of it.
>>18305960just buy pic related and some black laces
>>18306076These are 10 inches
>>18306091luckily for you you can order them in 8 inches
I just bought my first pair of dark brown suede chelseasI wore them all day in the office but didn't take any photos.They are made by TLB on their "Madison" last with a low profile vibram commando sole. Very good so far, I wore them with wool socks and they were still a little loose so maybe I need a tongue pad. I use tongue pads on all of my loafers so I guess I need it here too because no laces.Madison last has a nice round shape that's not very pointy and doesn't have any toe bump so I'm happy it doesn't look too gay - that was my biggest worry in a chelsea.The TLB suede is still among the best I've seen and it has a very luxurious nap, that's a little gay but I'll take it. Maybe a coarser, rougher, lower quality suede would've been less fruity (like what Alden uses) but it is what it is.
>>18306091>>18306093Lying about a couple of inches that may or may not be there never hurt nobody.
>>18306014Too many factors to consider for such a stupidly non-specific question. Fuck off.
>moved to Texas >still 80F+ in fucking November I guess my boot days are basically over
>>18306156Embrace cowboy boots, friendo
>>18306151Kys, subhuman.
>>18306014my pecos took about two weeks to break in.i did get blisters but i was going hard on them, marching up and down stairs at every opportunity.
>>18306014My black iron rangers took about 2 weeks. I did two 3-4km walks in that time and completely fucked my feet with them, but they're some of the most comfortable and well fitting boots I own now.>>18306156Utter pussy, I live in Australia and its 34C here today. I wear boots and jeans all year around. 80F is 27C which is absolutely fine for boots.>>18306070I approve of these, I own a pair of SLP tan suede chelseas and they're one of my favourite pairs. The fragility of good suede is drastically overestimated. And, like any good boots, a bit of wear and tear only makes them look better.>>18305960If you can afford Whites, why not just buy the 8 inch version and relace them? I'm assuming you're American because this level of intelligence would be embarrassing anywhere else in the world.>>18305623Cool, hope they last. Docs are good looking boots.
>>18306156>move to TX>stop wearing boots for some reasonfucking tourists...
>>18306249git gud, scrub
>buys the cheapest indog shoes>wonders why they look like this after 2 months
Reposting since i didn't realize the old thread was dead.Was thinking of getting these gokey lug sole camp mocs but the fucking overhang is massive all the way around and now i think it looks kinda shit. Is this huge "welt" (they are moccasin construction so blake stitched) acceptable for this casual style of shoe or is it shit no matter what?https://gokeyusa.com/home/gokey-shoes/lug-sole-camp-moccasin/
>>18306426big welts are based, if they look good. But the ones you linked are more expensive and uglier than rancourt.
>>18306426just get the rancourts
>>18306428Ridiculously ugly
>>18306429>gokey calling anyone else uglylmao
>>18306392>Cool, hope they last. Docs are good looking boots.Thanks anon
/btg/ will hate these, but I like em
>>18306392>If you can afford Whites, why not just buy the 8 inch version and relace them?Because the pic I posted is also 10 inches, I want to buy 8 inches, and I'm from Europe not America
>>18305960Now I've found these Supersole X from Redwing and they are exactly what I'm looking for, sadly it's sold out and idk if they're making them again, I also saw Redwing 4473 which is also sold out everywhere but that's also exactly what I want
>>18306438>women's boot>sole that will fall apart>gay logo>zippersYeah I'm sorry. Not sure what's there to like here.
>>18306509Found these from Jim Green, guess these will do, these are also perfect for me, currently sold out on their EU websites but it said they're restocking this month, I've heard good things about Jim Green
which one /b/ (it's either 1 or 2)
>>18306688For me it'd be 2.
>>18306688I don't like them.
>>18306688What brand are these?
Fuck /fa/ggots, I’m buying solovairs
>>18306688none
>>183066882. Waxed suede will mask a lot of the shortcomings a cheap leather boot will have with the uppers.
can I get an ID on these
>>18306765What's wrong with Solovairs?
>
>>18306851I bought a pair a long time ago and had the exact same issue. Left a bad review and they send me half of my money back and a 50% off from my next purchase with the promise that will be inspected by the csr. Then I bought a pair of loafers and they were pretty ok, didn't fit, but for the price it was a very good deal.
>>18306853Anon is reposting my image but he didn't post the full version. I got a shit pair. Returned them for an alleged non shit one. They gave me another shit one, then I got a full refund, and I kept the free soles and cream with my first order.
>>18306856holy fuck i must have missed the update on that lmao what a company
>>18306858At least the customer support lady was polite and I got a full refund. Just mad that I wasted my time back and forth with shipping and they had the audacity to still give me a shit pair the second time. Like the dude went ok this guy is returning a bad pair, but I wont bother checking if the replacement is good and I'll send a worse one. I'm not even sure why I liked the look of these in the first place to order them. No idea what was going through my head or what influenced me to buy them. The leather on them looks like plastic. Reminds me of faggots.
>>18306851maybe bottom left was just for style?
>>18306862
>>18306425Remove the factory finish to make it less noticeable.
lol
>>18306762yanko
>>18306849Apparently>they are filled with synthetic materials aimed at instant comfort but will not hold up to actual use.
>>18306898indeed. you have uppers that barely qualify as leather, no solid footbed no midsole no shank
any 8" tall boot recommendations for wide feet? My ski boot last is 116mm so my feet are ~4.5" wide. I can never get info on internal width from manufacturers, I assume their last patterns are proprietary.

What do you recommend for heel cushions?
>>18306509My pair of those came in today. They don't have speed hooks like in the picture. Return in process. Sucks because I wanted a pair of work boots close to the looks of paramemes.
>>18306959...heel cushions?
>>18306967Where did you get them?
Anyone know if this can be repaired?Alden kidskin boots split on that back seam. Who should I send it to? Alden? Some random cobbler? Or are they fucked and a writeoff?
>>18307213Did the stitching just come undone? A good cobbler can fix this no issue. Alden does some questionable repairs sometimes, but still better than a random cobbler probably.https://www.styleforum.net/threads/the-official-alden-thread-for-2024-share-reviews-sizing-advice-and-photos.740757/page-157#post-11893129
>>18307213>kidskin
>>18306688Oh fug Skolyx actually added the grainy ones in brown now too
>>18304926I just bought these in 10.5 wide, and they are a pain in the ass to break in. How long before they get comfy?
Bros, I used to think Jodhpurs were gay as hell but I am now starting to think they're kind of sick
>>18307426They lol suck but are even more difficult to Chelseas to rock
>>18307475*they look sick
>>18307426They are sick, but /fa/ggots are somehow worried a pair of footwear will magically bend their sexual preferences.Just rock jodhpurs like work boots and not like dress shoes (which you can, it's kind of versatile).
Is being sexually attracted to this boot normal?
>>18307426Damm, I never thought I'd see a pair of jodhpurs I'd actually like.
>>18307426its the straight version of chelseas
>>18307475For real? I can’t imagine they would be too difficult to style and not look gay. I exclusively have been wearing 1940s wide cut selvedge denim or trousers. I’ve been finding out that narrow footwear looks really great when you contrast it against a pair of wide cut bottoms. It just looks authentically vintage. Most of the “Chelseas are gay” sentiment is because literal gay men will pair them with a pair of slim/skinny cut jeans or chinos.
>>18307539What boots are these?
>>18307539I need a flatbox service boot in my life.
>>18307539They’re not “gay”, that’s a 4chan projection of own insecurities. They’re flashy, flamboyant, “look at me - I’m cool”, that’s why they’re difficult to pull of. Same as a double rider leather jacket.
>>18307513For Vibergs? Yes.
>>18307548get a pair of the unstructured bounty hunters
>>18307544Clinch Yeager Boots. I just ordered a pair in black waxed roughout, should arrive on Monday. Basically the absolute best handwelted bootmaker in Japan. Focuses on vintage boots from the 1910s-1940s and makes small adjustments to make them look really sleek. His engineers are considered the sexiest engineer boot in the world
>>18307213Easy repair for a cobbler if stitching has come loose. A facing came off one of my Grenson and cost 15 quid to repair.If the leather has torn it will need patching.
>>18307358Aren't those the easiest to break in the moc toe redwing catalog?
>>18307358what kind of socks are you wearing>>18307564yeah the mocs are easy to break in
>>18307562>ClinchYeah I'm not even gonna bother checking the price. Post them when you get them I'm sure they'll look cool as heck.
>>18307566I'm wearing wool socks.
>>18307588how often and how long are you wearing them
>>18307592I got them on Monday and have been wearing them, with wool socks, around the house for 4 to 5 hours (or however long it takes before the back of my heel starts to hurt from rubbing against the back).
>>18307602start with 2 hours a day inside the house then double it the next and so on and so forth, make sure you're lacing the shaft snug, looseness increases friction
Will Grant Stone move manufacturing to the US?
>>18307604>make sure you're lacing the shaft snug, looseness increases frictionGood point. My current laces tie the shaft enough, but not as tight as I want. Maybe I need longer laces to get the full closure.
>>18306959>What do you recommend for heel cushions?I only wear them with my work boots and just use whatever bullshit Walmart sells. They make me look taller than I actually am, though, so you may disappoint people.
are latinX america boots just as shit as indog boots?i kind of wanna try my luck with beckett simonon boots for my work "casual" ones that i'll probably burn through in 1-2 years
>>18307475>even more difficult to Chelseas to rockI disagree. They can look pretty effeminate by themselves (just like Chelseas) so you're pretty much follow the same general guidelines. The only tip I'd offer is to stay away from the ones that get ridiculous with the strap and/or buckle.

I'm thinking of picking up these TLB malroca loafers. They have rubber inserts in the leather soles. Anyone have any experience with these soles in this style? Will the compromise the durability at all?

>honk honkof course a thunderdome participant wearing PNW boots for "fashion" would go overboard with contrasting leathers like burgundy and black instead of sticking to something a little more tasteful like a black tongue on a burgundy shoe.

>>18307897They don't even look that bad. He obviously wanted to go for the vintage doc martens look, but has the money to afford better. The kettle is horrendous, though.
>>18307897Yeah those will look decent with some wear, nothing against those, looks comfy and decently built.
Does Enzo Bonafe let you customize the last on MTO shoes? They have a pair of boots I think would look really nice with the norvegese chain stitch.Also what are the downsides of a norvegese chain stitch
>>18307930they can do small mods, feathering, reducing/increasing instep and so on for no charge. As long u send them back to EB for resoles, the norvegese chain stitch is fine, the threads might get dirty i guess? I only ever did linear norvegese.
>>18307900>>18307918they look like clown boots, the right boot is taller by a considerable margin, and the only contrasting panel should have been the tongue.
>>18307954Yeah, I'll need adjustments to the width and I plan on adding a toe tap, but the modification I was unsure of was the stitch. I conflated last with construction. I just think it looks nice.
>>18307962you can change most things on a MTO. Small pattern changes, lining/no lining. no stiffeners, gusset tongues, etc..
>>18307893>Thurman lastEvery redditor has this last and they look like those duck feet boots from Denmark.Ugly as sin.
>>18308005most of them are fat and short, so it fits.

>>18304926Planning a trip to the UK in February and high on the list going to Edward Green to get sized and hopefully place an order for some Galways, but I'm undecided on the leather. I'm definitely using the 64 last, ridgeway soles, and veldtschoen construction to make it a proper country boot. Initially I was going to pick rosewood country but I was gifted a pair of derbies in the same leather, so I'm open to other options. Anyone have experience with their london or hatch grain leathers, or own a pair and would have some recommendations?
>>18308076Go for the utah, its quite rare on galways. Or maybe a 2 tone.

>>18307671No. They will pass the tariffs onto the consumer, people will still buy them, then they will just add an extra step to their production chain to have boots shipped to Italy from China, where they will have a bunch of illegal sweatshop workers lace the boots so they can then slap a "made in Italy" label on them and then ship them from Italy to the US circumventing the tariffs (they will not lower the price back, of course).

What are some good chinese boot brands that I can buy rtw from taobao to avoid paying the gweilo tax?
are grant stone boots actually good or is this a well crafted meme like saying to "buy redwings"
>>18307848Astorflex makes much better models than that. But if you like it, go for it. Handmade shoes in a small factory that never sold itself since 1820. You can't go wrong.Also, I don't think they lie in the poorfag range to be honest.
New to "caring about how I look", I bought these moc-toe Timbs a while ago and am kinda regretting it. Are they as fugly as I think? How should I style with them?
>>18308207these look great, what color is this?
>>18308082That chestnut colour is beautiful. If it looks that good in person and if that's an option in stock that's what I'll pick. A lot of my shoes are already dark brown and I'm hoping for something different. I thought about 2-tone or mixed materials for the shaft but I'm really not sold on it yet. It's something I'll have to decide in person after handling them.
>>18307848I don’t have that model, but I have a few Astorflex shoes and I’m very happy with them.
>>18308213Moc toes are workear/casual, so whatever fits that kind of look, jeans tees henleys chinos and so on. As far as how they look they're kind of eh, toebox looks a bit off, probably because it tapers instead of following the curvature of the sole to keep the height uniform, anyway I've seen worse.
>>18308223Thanks anon
>>18308213They're not bad at all, honestly.
if you had to choose: black or brown?
>>18308364no blacks
>>18308364Brown works way better with earth tones which should be most of your wardrobe. Black only works with all black or black and white fits.
which are gayer?chukkas or jodhpurs? i want a pair of black boots to just wear with black jeans and other darker outfits that my brown boots don't really go with
>>18308214I think it's wiskey.
>>18307848If you live in the EU check the used market you can find some astorflex for very cheap
>>18308385Jodhpurs are much gay.
>>18308191You got a link? It says sold out to me
>>18308385It depends on a lot. What cut are your jeans? Are they wide leg, or just regular straight? What is your general style? Is it a really sleek black outfit, or are you going for more casual work wear americana vibes? Generally, I think Jodhpurs look really awesome when contrasted against a wide leg pair of jeans/pants.
>>18308407They're probably sold out in your size. I'd been checking the site every week and they just happened to have my size in stock last week.
>>18308385Literally nothing gay about chukkas though>no tranny heels >no straps>no elastic>no zipperClosest you can get would be hidden eyelets but you would have to go full workwear retard to make that sort of argument

>>18308580Good call. I’ll try that if my autism allows me.
>>18308578I just tell people. 90% won't know the significance of boots being Whites or any other high end brand And if they do, then that means they're into nice shoes and will appreciate them

Just convert your US size to UK (1 full size down) and you should be good. If you order from TLB's website you'll get an email from the owner asking about sizing to make sure you're good. Huge fan of the brand I wear the split toes for anything. I think they're versatile enough to wear with jeans but I actually wore mine the other day with a suit jacket with a client and it was fine
>>18308587You lace your boots like a retard.
Please recommend a cheaper alternative.
>>18308604>he doesn't know about over under lacing for boots ngmi
>>18308626Just get Docs or Solovairs
>>18308562these are cool
>>18308587>no treesIt's over
>>18308682You are now aware trees ONLY matter immediately after taking your shoe off when they still have moisture from your feet in them. Once the moisture is absorbed they're not serving any purpose
>>18308369>Black only works with all black or black and white fits.Black looks fine with casual fits, which I’m assuming is what most people spend a majority of their time dressing in
>>18308626there's nothing like guidi at a cheaper price. you can get close with mto from other brands but at that point you're paying the same, if not more.
>>18308686Is that fit supposed to look good? Because it doesn't look good to me. The black pops out too much, I guarantee you that would look a lot better if you swapped the black for something else.
>>18308736correct
>>18308626Officine Creative has this same sort of worn black leather look. I have no idea about the build quality however, they might be more of a fashion brand.
>>18308544>Black CXL is a teacore leathernot necessarily, it can come struck through too. Just look at the edges to know what you're getting, if they are black, its not "teacore".
Had to pop in the office today in my sunday casual fit.
Are Moma boots good quality? These ones look appetizing
Can this be fixed?
Is white‘s dress leather good?
>>18308875yeah its pretty good
>>18308578Say you got them during a sale
>>18308889Is it thinner than most of their other leathers? Since it's a dress leather. Saw a euro store selling Whites MP in brown dress.
>>18308761Damn that last looks goodWhat are these?
Heavyweight Vibergs. Still like how they kept the leather at full thickness all around so you can see how chunky these are, especially in the counter.
>>18308942look like cj for ralph lauren
>>18308899its dress in name only. in reality its thicker than most on the market
>>18309145he boot too big for he gotdamn feet
>>18308955That's a lot of stitching.
>>18309210they're famous for high SPI but it's a meme since you're punching more holes
I’ve got this circular thing at the heel in the right pair of my White’s MP and can feel it. What should I do?
>>18309241fill the tub with water and throw them in, take the battery out of your phone and toss it. Get on the bus and head west, I will find you.
>>18309241air bubble?
>>18309213True. I've seen videos of people owning both older pairs and newer pairs, and the older ones with lower spi looks better. It was already one of the tightest stitching dunno why they decided to go full autist with it.
What do you recommend for a boot that comes in burgundy and has an E width?
>>18309333grant stone
>>18309337>made in china

>>18308875>does [legendary American bootmaker] use good leather to make their boots?yeah probably man>>18308746I bought boots from this brand a while ago when I was young and stupid, they're pretty terrible. I returned them straight away. I saved up and bought Guidis instead>>18308761walmart ass jeans
>>18309340Better than the shit made in America these days. Are you the guy that wrote the OP? You seem like the same kind of retard who wrote the OP.>t. bought all american during the pandemic
>>18308875Yes >>18308895I did >>18308592thanks I’ll probably get them. Do they go on sale ever?
>>18309359Does it matter if they go on sale if they take months after you order to be shipped? Manage you money better.
>>18309361>sour grapes
>>18309371I don't think you understand what the expressin means, Pablo.
What is the best way to lace boots?
>>18309384The normal way. Anything else is faggotry (european).
>>18309359Dunno but TLB is such good value they're basically already on sale. They could be charging double for what you get
What do we know about these?
This sort of round stitching on the toe box is so ridiculously, tragically ugly. Why do manufacturers do this?
>>18309608puckering>>18309636it makes the moc toe more water resistant
>>18308942Meermin Heritage Shell Cordovan.
>>18309348Jeans are Wrangler, the color got fucked up because of lights and filter.
>>18309608I like them. They're a brand I always wanted to check out Back in the day when they were still a young brand they had some issues with QC but sounds like they've got it all figured out and they're good. Bit overpriced though. They're made in the same factory in Buffalo that makes Parkhurst and a few other brands
>>18308626Moma
>>18309394Thanks, I don’t need a sale, but I don’t need them right away either. >>18309361>want to buy on sale>get harassed about managing money better Explain yourself nigger
>>18309895Tlb mean total little bitch shoes they suck
what are some combat boots that actually look like combat boots and not thicker dress boots?
>>18309912White's Semi Dress
Please, help me choose one.
>>18309926what are you going to use it for retard
>>18309935Just generally, day to day. I'm usually wearing chinos.
>>18309608They look nice. Had QC problems in the past. The price point is excellent. I like that they essentially make an N1 Boondocker for less than a grand. I will probably be buying a pair at some point next year after I've put some more miles on my White's.
>>18308544really nicewhere did you get these resoled?
>>18309926all trash btw. buy some meermin at least
>>18309639Can someone please explain what puckering is? I’m a boot noob
>>18309926none of the above try again
>>18308544>>18308545>>18308547>>18308553>>18308554>>18308555Those look incredible. Thank you for sharing.
>>18309940Grant Stone Diesel (can be dressed up) or Grant Stone Brass Boot (can be dressed up but less so)$10 Grant Stone credits have been deposited to my Grant Stone account.
>deep set creases on day 1lol
>>18309983they overtension the welt and that leads to exposed stitches leading to water ingress
>>18309636I think Herring has a boot like that
Clinch Yeager boots arrived today. Amazing arch support in these things. Really amazing last shape
>>18310236Damn these look way worse than I thought. Maybe it's the angle.
>>18310236>that curved backsexo
>>18310236You spent WHAT on those weird looking boots? Big YIKES.
>>18310249Nah they just need breaking down and conditioning.
>>18310240>>18310243>>18310249Worth it. They are pure sexo
>>18310249>sour grapes
>>18310236what's the sizing like on these?most say the CN-S last fits TTS, S&S claims you should go half size down
>>18310257Needs absolutely no breaking in. They perfectly hug the feet. Heel counter feels wonderful.
>>18310261I have pretty narrow feet, 11.5C. I took the sizing advice on S&S and went 0.5 down and I seem to have nailed it. For reverence, I go a full 1.5 down on Whites 55 last. If you’re a D width you could probably still get away with going 0.5 down on these or go TTS, but if you’re an upper D or an E you probably want to go TTS
>>18310265thanks for the infodon't listen to the poors, they look great
>>18310236distinctive looking boots
>>18310271They’re a reproduction of army service boots from WWII, except Clinch did their usual trick of making it look extra sleek with a lower profile toe, and making the heel counter more curved and pronounced
>>18310236why is the boot caked up tho?
>>18310281because it matches the shape of the back of your foot
>>18310282your feet are just double cheeked up on a monday like that?those boots have ass
>>18310285Yeah, they fuck
>>18310236>>18310257>>18310262>>18310274Pretty cool. But damn those heel counters extend far back. Quite the curve on those bad boys. Is it really comfortable or are you just fucking standing on the heel counters? lel I hope for you that you're not a god damn office worker because those retards really enjoy rubbing their heel counters against the office chairs, and I'd imagine it's even easier to do with those boots.
>>18310294The heel counter is definitely pronounced, but no more pronounced than a pair of whites. It’s actually really comfortable, they hug the heel. I’m a geotechnical engineer, so it’s a good balance of field work and office work. These things are purely casual boots though, I usually wear converse if I’m ever in the office
>flatbox is back>but it looks nothing like the previous flatbox
>>18310415that's just how the flatbox always lookedit had this gro-cord sole since it was first launched in japan along with the rarer flatbox 9062 and 9063these are still on the regular no. 8 IR bumptoe last, unlike the new beckman re-release
>>18310432Says it's on 210 last
>>18310274nice i like the sleek waist, too much ass on these for me though.
>>18310262These are definitely too big for your feet.
>>18310415Where? Can't find it in the site.
>>18310539you can't tell that from the pic.
>>18310539Probably just the narrow last. I hate how long my 2030 vibergs look when I see them from the side.
can someone reccommend me some nice leather brown ankle high boots for nature walkspretty much only 2 requirements are durable and lightweightprice £100-200
>>18310599Jim Green African Ranger boot. They're not pretty, not refined at all, but they are lightweight and in your budget.
>>18310607Looks perfect thanks a bunch
>>18310553Yes I can.
>>18310633Nigger
>>18310682Yes you are.
Are Thursday boots any good?
>>18310545https://franklinandpoe.com/products/red-wing-heritage-flat-toe-beckman-9060-black-klondike
>>18310775no
>>18310539They aren’t. They are the exact same length as my converse. I always buy footwear with about a fingernail’s length of space in the toe. Keep seething though
