first for pointy fagboots

I would like to ask for (you)r opinion on sole types, which ones do you have experience with, which ones were good or bad in your experience, which ones made you lose family members.

>>18584787
I like commando soles because the stitching doesn’t come into contact with the floor or land you’re walking on.

I’ve also tried natural rubber outsoles and they’re much heavier and much more durable than what people seem to think.

pretty sure they use the same heel counter on all of their shoes if you just look up meermin painful break in you'll see plenty of complaints. obviously the pain can be mitigated with proper socks and break in practices

How is leather from factory farmed animals or thebyproduct of meat equivalent to leather from animals killed during conservation efforts? The environmental impact is quantifiable and morally there's a difference too. If your favorite brand doesn't sell any, that's fine but it's not the same.

I guess they have to distinguish themselves from everyone else somehow. So they came up with "flex goodyear welted". Easy to change whenever you resole them though.

Besides it's clearly not a money saving thing.

I really like these boots but there's almost zero pics or reviews of them online.

ngl i think horsebutt is ugly as shit. what do you guys think? i cant stop thinking that they look plastic-y, and those lines in the leather just look tacky. awful.

>>18584974
Yes it’s atrociously pointless, ugly and pretentious.

maybe im ocd, but here is why i wont buy a 700 dollar pair of pnw boots: if you have a super nice pair of boots, it doesnt look right wearing them with a 30 dollar pair of levis or wranglers. so then you gotta buy a really nice pair of selvedge jeans. once you do that, you have to then invest in you upper half. you cant have amazing boots and jeans and wear a shitty mall jaqcket. so you gotta splurge on a 1,000 dollar horsehide jacket. i guess what im saying is, if u just have one really nice piece and cheap out on the rest of the outfit, it doesnt look right. but if everything is heritage , selvedge , horsehide , pnw boots, u look like a larper. so truly there is no winning

horseass is fine but I found that color particularly ugly

>>18584982
This is very true. In general I think it’s dumb to cheap out on shoes and boots because feet are the most important thing you should take care of. After you have a good pair of shoes (not necessarily pnw boots but also not red wings, fuck that shit: if undecided stick to humbler brands such as Rancourt and Astorflex) then you can pair them with nice vintage clothes which are usually great and long-lasting quality but also not expensive.

Eh, I'm not so sure. I just ordered a pair of the White's Drifter 1s and I'm going to wear them with exactly that, band tees, Carhartt tees, hoodies, old flannels, cheap Levi's and Wranglers. It's only awkward if you're the type to fuss around with them and don't put any visible wear on them. I grew up around dudes who wore the high end Red Wing loggers with really nice sole rebuilds and the like, and all they wore were Harley Davidson merch and stonewashed mallbrand jeans lol. As long as you coordinate things a little and put a little wear on your boots they'll look fine.

>>18585646
What are your thoughts on jews?

>>18585406
The final redpill is that you should only ever use non-calf as roughout leather. Otherwise always calf.

I will not abide by this ultimate truth but that's just because I'm unfortunately still bluepilled in some ways. But in the afterlife I'm sure everyone will either wear calf or roughout boots.

Not really, cheap engineer boots don't really exist anymore and they were never perfect or what is in style today if you wanted to go the used/ vintage route to score a deal.
Crush on retro is your best option for a budget engineer boot but they probably aren't going to last that long on a construction and materials standpoint and the dimensions are off on things like the shaft, they're super wide.

>>18585785
You could sand the remaining fraying then use black wax to dye it and make it look less destroyed.

>does it miss anything by having a leather instead of a steel shank?
Steel shanks are the industry standard because they're more rigid and thus offer more support than leather or fiberglass. The only excuse I've heard for leather shanks is that over time a shank will wear into the insole and you MIGHT feel it underfoot on older boots. You're basically hedging your bet for comfort in the long run by dealing with a less supportive boot with a leather shank.

Definitely, here are mine after 9 years of wear. They've been through mud, rain, snow, creeks and multiple hours of riding so they have their fair share of wear and tear. They still hold up remarkably well though I do brush and oil them regularly.

You’re too early guys!

Tomorrow I am going to visit Attractions and Brass Tokyo, I know I can't actually wear any of their boots but it will be cool to see them. I'll look for some Red Wing stuff later. What other boot shops should I check while in Japan? I am thinking about going to Zerrows before I leave to see if I could actually fit any of their boots since they do EE widths.

I'm glad I got to see some engineer boots in person. I think they're good looking and well made on their own, but definitely not for me. These were from Attractions. I also went to the Flat Head since it's down the street but no pictures since the boots didn't look that interesting. I didn't ask, but they felt like JL white label work.

>>18589225
Had the same impression of Attractions. Nice and their price for horsehide engineers isn't bad, but they are just not for me. They had heel slip and the balance felt off, you slide forward a bit due to the heel being a bit too rampy.

>>18589170

>>18589385
that's because they jacked up prices all around

That is their mainstreet boot which is 1 discontinued and 2 was significantly cheaper than their other boots and on par with Red wings heritage boots.
If you compare them to boots in that price range they look pretty good.
