I want a pair of the Brakehouse 3450 engineers T_T
>>18694490they're not that expensive. go for it
post boots NOW
My buddy has a birthday coming up, he's a carpenter who wears shit-tier boots into the ground; His boots get dirty from drywall and other workplace shit so he doesn't want to spend a lot on boots which I totally get but I think he'd see the benefits if he got some quality ones. Any reccomendations for affordable, quality work boots for me to subsidize? I was looking at the Frank's Patriot or something like the Nicks BuilderPro. The Patriot looks really good aside from the roughout lower, I know it's common on workboots but I think it would be harder to keep it clean than smooth leather. I think he prefers the look of classic heeled boots but the Red Wings Moc wedge sole might be an option too, he'd be able to try them on in since we have a Red Wings store close by. Any advice would be appreciated anons.
>>18694536
May I interest you with some high quality, handmade and hand-welted boots?
>>18694552
Why do people still wear PNW clunkers? I've owned some Wesco engineers, Whites 350 cutters, and Viberg 310s, and they all kind of suck compared to jap stuff. All of the soles are fucking massive, they're absurdly heavy, and generally the finishing and clicking is mediocre. I would understand if you are actually riding motorcycles or hiking through the woods regularly, but if you are wearing PNW boots for fashion without actually putting them through at least some moderate activity, you are probably retarded. This shit is not fashionable at all. If you are not an active person, you need to sell your PNW boots and buy something dressier to match your actual lifestyle
>>18694536>that will be $1,080 plus tax
>>18694563
>>18694571
>someone demands boot photos>90% of the posts are PNW
>>18694564This you?
>>18694560You hate them because you hate Indians. We get it anon, it's okay to admit it
>>18694564No one cares, retard. Shut the fuck up
>>18694586I’ve owned 3 pairs of PNW as described. You’re angry because you know I’m actually right
>>18694564>I would understand if you are actually riding motorcycles or hiking through the woods regularlyHow do you know we're not? Who the fuck are you? Anyway, I love my MPs, they're the perfect boot to me. Rugged and tough, but still sleek enough that I don't feel like I'm wearing big tanks on my feet
>>18694585because nobody else is posting boots retard, including you
>>18694590>saar
>>18694598Those loafers are a crime against humanity
>>18694549Honestly just get him Red Wing Moc toes, I love Frank's Patriot, but it's likely too much boot for him. Make sure to take him to the store to try them on first so he gets the right size.
>>18694621>>18694549Was also thinking the RW Moc would be good. Comfy sole, durable and hard wearing enough for carpentry work that doesn't require a steel toe
>>18694549My advice is to not buy shoes as a present
>>18694621>>18694632That's what I was thinking, thanks bros.>>18694647I know that much. I wasn't going to buy him boots outright, I was planning on giving him cash enough to cover the purchase and strongly encouraging him to get proper boots.
>but but but truman boots are ugly...
I don't feel like I need any more boots. I should probably get real loafers, any reccs for low instep ones under 300€?
>>18694564Screencap’d because trvthnvke>>18694586>>18694597>>18694593lmaoing hard at these butthurt amerimutts
This type of crease is so fucking hideous and it seems there’s no way to avoid it. Grim.
>>18694718Got them 15 years back and they are a size too big, so I added some big memory foam inserts. Resoled them once already. Crease is just due to my gait I guess.
>>18694722No I have a pair just like that, same color but roughout. They got the same obnoxious crease. Problem is that there’s no way to fix it, I think. My loafers also have creases but – quite the contrary – they look good. They’re light and evenly spread and do not resemble a huge eye-shaped groove.
Thinking of retiring the iron rangers. They were my first pair of quality shoes and I've walked hundreds of miles on them but they're too bulky for my taste nowadays and they fit in that weird spot between shoe and actually tall boot.
>>18694749Shoe trees do absolutely nothing for that. The crease is formed as you walk and drive. Shoe trees do not revert the process of creasing. Furthermore, if they’re so big that they actually puff out the leather of your shoes they’re going to ruin those shoes forever. Shoe trees make sense only as moisture absorbers.
>>18694750It’s basically the only good-looking pair in your collection.
Why didn't you fags tell me about these things sooner?
>>18694717>i-i'm not mad, you are! classic
>>18694750What are those black boots top right corner?
>>18694779>anon posts trvthnvke>fat redditors seethe uncontrollably>anon n.2 agrees with anon n.1Why would I be mad, lil bro?
>>18694564retard
>>18694749When are we going to stop parroting this nonsense that shoe trees do anything to prevent creasing? The ONLY time they do anything for creases is when they're physically in the shoe and that's because they're filling the volume of the shoe. The second you take the tree out the creases are back Your foot flexes as you walk. Leather creases and moves with it. If you don't like creases don't wear leather.
>>18694782>anon is a retard>doubles down on being a retard so he "wins" good for you anon, your parents may actually be proud of you for once
>>18694778I literally cannot get my cowboy boots off without it. Still remember when I was in the store trying them on and my wife had to help pull them off and I nearly threw out my back just trying to get the damn things off because I had no idea what a boot jack was or how they worked
>>18694790how? even the pair that were slightly too small weren’t that hard to get off
>>18694795I have extremely high insteps and arches. Dude scanning my feet at Red Wing said I had the highest he'd ever seen Probably has a lot to do with it
>>18694760Everyone's entitled to their opinion >>18694780I'm afraid you're kinda shit out of luck anon, they're my father's cowboy boots from the 80s/90s that I had painted black and resoled. They were originally a very faded brown that had almost patina'd to a faint olive color. They were made by a brand called "the Wehrmacht group" or "Wehrmacht original boots" but I can't find much info on them, probably defunct.
>>18694789NTA but PNW boots are kind of ridiculous and the original point made by >>18694564 actually has some truth to it. They’re not awful boots or anything and are obviously super durable and robust, but in a fashion sense they are just too big from their massive soles, and if you aren’t someone with an active lifestyle and you’re just wearing a pair of Whites in a city you just look retarded. People who aren’t really outdoorsy should be wearing something more refined. You don’t necessarily have to get a pair of $1500 Japanese boots, but even a pair of Trumans or Grant Stone would be more appropriate for such a person.
PNW boots are literally for people with closeted weird foot fetishesand I mean really weird fetish shit, not just the regular foot fetish which is obviously fine
>>18694829we get it bro, shut the fuck up already. move on
>>18694564People just want stuff that feels high quality, durable and repairable. They could buy Goral sneakers but instead they go to the most extreme boot.
>>18694750What brand on the penny loafers?
>>18694750>Thinking of retiring the iron rangersi retired mine couple of years ago now the underfoot feel is literally nothing compared to the whites/wescos
>>18694807>but in a fashion sense they are just too big from their massive solesbecause you're wearing skin tight latex pants you prancing la la homoman. normal men wear straight cut and they look fine
>>18694917Bro even if you are wearing wide cuts, a PNW boot is so blatantly huge and dense. It looks proportionally more natural to wear straight/wide cuts with a normal sized or even narrow-toed pair of leather footwear.
>>18694486What brands make good boots in EU38/US5 in Europe? Doc Martens and the likes aside, I'm struggling to find anything worthwhile.
>>18694945Here bruvhttps://shoegazing.com/2024/12/22/buyers-guide-european-workwear-boot-brands/
>>18694920not true at all
>>18694971Which ones are these?
>>18694974wesco boss 7500
>>18694976Nice. Are they only differences between the Boss and Mr Lou the slimmer shaft? Is the last still the same?
>>18694978with the boss its a full length vibram outsole versus the dr sole half soleboth should be that MP last with the slightly squared off round toe
>>18694986I'm genuinely torn over what engineers to get for my first pair. The Mr Lou checks all my boxes, but I don't know if it's worth it to shell out more for the Japanese brands I wish Almost Vintage Style still had his channel. The dude was insufferable but when it came to reviews he was really good
>>18694988i personally definitely prefer my bosses over my lofgrens, the stiffners in the toe and the heel pocket is a lot more noticeable in the lofgrens and they're just way less comfortable because of that. i'm personally not one to go over boots with a microscope and nitpick shit but i don't think the lofgrens were worth the extra ~300 over the bosses for me for the >boots :|>boots j a p a n :)
>>18694947weeping for the prices we've lost. i have always wanted some urban shepherds but i have ogre feet. i would replace my 3 casual pairs with just them.
>>18694988It depends on how autistic you are. Personally I am hyper autistic about whether the boots have very nice horsehide clicking, handwelting, a perfectly carved woodsman heel, etc.. I sold my Wescos and John Lofgrens and splurged on some Role Clubs which have always been a grail piece of mine and they are without a doubt the best boots I’ve ever worn. A lot of people will tell you it’s not worth it, but in my experience it was 1000% worth it since I got a pair that in my opinion has a better looking design but is also a perfect fit. I’m not telling you that you need to spend as much money as I did on boots, but i do think that the overall level of quality and experience you get from spending more on engineer boots does actually scale with the price. It is objectively better if you can get a pair made to measure since it’s kind of difficult finding a ready to wear pair that fits your feet well enough. If I was willing to spend $800-2000 on another pair of engineers, my preferences in order from most to preferred to least preferred would be:>Unsung House (arguably the best pair of engineers on the market. M2M, perfectly designed, top tier leathers, handwelted, etc)>Clinch>Briselblack (heavily underrated)>Zerrows>AttractionsEveryone has different opinions about the Wescos. They’re good boots, but they weren’t something I was really into. If you care about having top tier finishing, clean stitching, beautiful clicking, close to a perfect fit, or perfectly carved heels, then you might want to look elsewhere. If you plan on exposing your boots to regular physical activity then a pair of Wescos is a great option
>>18694947this is what 750 eurodollars gets you>immaculate clicking>precise stitch work>awsomely thin heel caps and soles- light and dressy, going outside is cringe larping anyway, you don't need more rubber than this, stop pretending>puckering of the uppers at the toes- testament to the hand lasted craft and an element of tasteful ruggedness>heels trimmed to the stitches- tight as fuck, also practical weight reduction>the design of the quaters combines angles AND curved lines- refined and visually unique>unbevelled sole edges- beutifully geometric boxy shapeliterally who even does a hand lasted, handstitched boot in america for ~$750 that would be better than this? nothing comes to mind honestly
>>18694486you forgot the thread title, I searched BTG but didn't see this thread
>>18694997when i hear of indonesian bootmakers this is what i picture
>>18695015FUCKGOD FUCKING DAMMIT FUCK i am sorry bros, I have failed you all
>>18695039you now must ritualistically hit yourself in the stomach with boots
>>18694802Did you get his number?
>>18695079Why you wanted it?
Anyone installed speed laces on their boots? Are there any I can get where I don't need to punch the old eyelets out first?
>been a hot minute since i've checked in on turdsdays>lets see what they're up to these daysb r u h
>>18695444you can just put the speed hooks in the eyelets
>>18695652well that certainly is one of the of all time
>>18695658this is one of the worst thing I've ever seen
>>18695652holy shit kek
So if I want engineers but with a toe almost like a round toe cowboy boot, what are my options? I want something flatter, little or no structure and "sleek" but not necessarily dressy
>>18695689wesco unstructured MP toe
>>18695690do people actually think unstructured toes looks good?this looks like dogshit
you aren't getting a flatter toe box with c*lastic retard
>>18695696Do you even know what celastic is? Genuine question
This thread has become more reddity and cringe than even the watch threads. Bravo.
>>18695700do you? i know for a fact that my unstructureds are lower and flatter than any that contains c*lastic
>>18695706It's basically paper thin fabric and you heat it up and shape it while it's not. It can be as bulbous and structured as you want You pretend it's like this thick ass piece of plastic that comes in pre cut size or something
sure it can be shaped. but once again you can't change the fact that unstructured will be lower and flatter than something with c*lastic and that's why you keep losing
>>18695711In order for me "lose" I have to care and I can assure you my boots not having saggy ball sack toe is not something I find myself caring about
>get mad>lose>i-i-i don't carelol
>>18695652What's even the target audience for a shoe like that? Ghetto niggas won't buy it because they shop by brand alone and anyone pulling up while wearing these will get laughed at for not wearing Jordans. The people buying goodyear welted shoes are usually into workwear and they wouldn't touch sneakers with a ten foot pole. The guys that both know about goodyear welting and wear sneakers would rather wear """""""dress"""""""" sneakers and not whatever the fuck this is.Seriously, who the fuck is this made for? Is it made for the one in a million ascended hood nigga that would be like "dayum I want these sneakers cuh but the quality isn't there know whamsayin."
>>18695829Nobody, it's a publicity stunt
>>18695652Would buy for 120 before the 50% discount for the LOL'z.
>>18694536Just buy carolinas for 1/4th the price instead.
foreskin boot
>>18695847Better comfort than an internal metguard.
>>18695847Why
>>18695829its for the mfers that buy $300 slim straight tapered raw denim and post fic pics wearing them with asics or some shit
What boot do you own that's gotten you the most compliments and is it the one you expected?
>>18695931cowboy boots because they're black cherry red and eye catching my rw moc toes also got quite a few compliments

>>18695954>Vintage Docs in oxbloodSame actually
>>18695847>>18695860Met-guards aka metatarsal guards. Buncha fake bootfags ITT, I swear.
>>18695711only because it collapses retard
What are some good entry level boat shoes? Are Sperry or Sebago any good?
>>18696013I had a pair of Sperrys that lasted years. I finally tossed them after they were completely trashed. For 100 bucks or whatever they cost back then I'd say i got great use out of them I have some Rancourts now that I got on a huge sale but I can't honestly say they're that much better than the Sperrys. Hell, I'd say the Sperrys were more comfortable.
>>18694803your dad was in the SS?
I just impulsively bought a pair of Tecovas cowboy boots while our shopping
>>18695931The brown ones
>>18695996These people may wear boots for work but they don't actually work in them.
Dead thread. Where are the Aussies it's supposed to be cold there right now
Can a black belt work with brown boots if the sole is black and vice versa
>>18696799Nope don't even try Black and black or brown and brown
>paraboot orders are downFuck
>>18695931these >>18694571 have caught a ton of attention the few times I've worn them so faralso >>18694578 just based on the fact that they're thicc ass work boots
>>18695931I have literally never ever gotten compliments on my boots. Feelsbadman.
uggo cuccko boots!
>>18697001but enough about your collection
>>18695931My black LTT Wesco jobmastersNo probably not, I have a pair of boondockers I thought would be much more complimented but the only people who compliment them are boot nerds
just learned i have a local bootmaker (basically just an old mexican dude and his son) who build custom traditional cowboy bootsonly question is what leather should i go with?>snakeskin>caiman/gator/croc>stingraynot a fan of ostrich generally, and absolutely hate those ugly fucking fish "leather"elephant sounds cool but elephants are bros and not exactly sold on the fact that they wouldn't come from some sus source or something idk just doesn't quite feel rightwut do?
>>18697513Would go with the caiman or croc personally. I just don't like the look of snakeskin, and don't know enough about stingray. If the elephant leather comes with a CITES certification it's legit and was harvested without poaching. If you ask about and they can't talk about that, it probably came from poaching or is fake.
>>18697513I'd just get gator etc
>>18697513Gaboon Viper or bust
>>18697513Elephant would only come from a sus source.All those leathers are finicky and annoying to maintain: Snake is too fragile; I don't see stingray holding up over time and would look like real shit if it got beat. Some kind of crocodillian would make the most sense. I'm curious about shark, but again one of these stupid leathers that are hard to maintain. I suppose cowboy boots are meant to be flashy so go whatever looks nicest.If I were a rich americanian I'd get some black and white snake boots "because", and white linen suit. And a silverbelly stetson,
>>18694486Thursdays are perfectly fine
>>18697746For the goyim
>>18697746if you're indian
I bought a pair of cowboy boots that are slightly too wide. Will the thick leather insole from nicks take up enough space to tighten them up or should I get a foam insole?
>>18697923How many mm is it?
>>186979262.5mm-3mm
>>18697923if they're too wide now they'll probably get wider as they break in and stretch more. is it too late to return them? if not, insoles are probably your only option
>>18697934They came pre broken in courtesy of some guy from ebay
>>18697928Yeah that will take up the space.
Whats the female holy grail leather boot? What about warmer weather half shoes? What about zero plastic options? I've been trying to find a pair of shoes for every season/occasion thats made from all natural materials but so far I haven't had much luck. Do I have to go all ancient and start making my own full leather moccasins or wooden clogs or how's that going to go down?
>>18698217You can go the made to measure route, find MTM a shoe/ bookmaker and they'll make it for your size.I think the issue with asking for a grail boot for women is that there is no grail boot for men either, everyone has their own grail boot and that is something you should determine yourself the exact style you want. You can list them here if you want to.
>>18698217Women do not care about any of this shit. They just get whatever is in style at the moment that they can find at Zara
>>18698244Style is secondary to be honest, I mainly care about there not being any plastic soles or other materials that aren't leather/wood/metal/wool/cotton/linen and that seems to be rather hard to find. I did find some MTM options online but the delivery fees are exorbitant and so far I didn't feel like pulling the trigger on 70 bucks on top of the shoe just to get them to me. Ofc ideally I'd want them to be aesthetic too but I feel like they can't really not be aesthetic if they are handmade from nice materials so it's not my main focus. I guess I'll keep searching. I think my next step will be make some felted slippers to wear inside.
>>18698217Have to agree with >>18698248. The only time I knew a woman to care about this stuff is when one of my exes wanted properly made, all leather, dressage boots. There's just not a good market for women's footwear that's constructed well. Carmina would be the only recommendation I could give, but honestly a lot of companies will cheap out on the women's line and I don't really know if they build them to the same spec as the men's line.
>>18698284Maybe I should just get men's shoes but I doubt they make them in my size. Maybe boys shoes, lol.
>>18698217you might have to make your own, there are moc making kits available
>>18694486> Boot red flags include "zippers", but the thread features Engineer boots, which are fucking zipped up instead of lacedDogshit thread, behead OP and his nonsense gatekeeping

>>18698343>>18698359You're BOTH wrongTraditional engineer boots have no zippers but "modern" engineer boots sometime have zippersEither way op = gay faggot. 'Tis known sage
>>18698363Or mayhaps, I should say both of you are right...*thinking emoji* #LIVE#LAUGH#LOVE

>>18698369women aren't engineers and their boots aren't either

Anyone got a recommendation for a low-ish boot that's not a chukka? The 3 eye look just gets to me.
Can anyone ID these boots?Multiple AI's telling me its the Blundstone 1911 Tobacco Brown, except from google images and the website they look like a much darker brown.
>>18698313Yeah, I've stumbled across them. I actually already got all the leather working tools together but I still have to source nice leather. Was thinking about getting that cheap sheep skin from the thrift store and use that for practice. Might be nice for warm winter slippers with the fur turned inwards.
>>18699063maybe blundstone 1615
>>18698663How casual do you want it and what's your budget? I also don't like chukkas. Aside from the r/mfa connotation, it just feels like it's in this weird spot where it's not casual or dressy, especially if it's in a smooth leather.
Some generic riding boots for 30 buckaroos that I got for LARPing. What do you think of it?
>>18699303lmao
>>18699303Cringe
>>18699316>>18699319What's wrong with LARPing? Fun things are, as they say, fun.
>>18699120I'm not really sure for the casualness aspect. For reference my other boots are Numzaans, Razorbacks, and Luosjiet Indy's. I suppose I'm generally fond of the service boot look. Preferably with a defined heel instead of a wedge, but willing to try new things. Price range ideally not more than $400.
>>18694490Okay, so why shouldn't I get these? Other than their lack of half sizes, they look good as fuck, and they're all black, which I love.
>>18699325Having fun is cringe.
>>18699303Damn, that looks fucking stupid.
>>18699684How so?

There used to be a picture from this same Filipino guy wearing those tight ass jeans looking absolutely basedful.
There's a porker in gyw that has hundreds of pnw boots and it's probably over 100k USD down the drain since it's pretty much Funko pops collecting at this point.

recs for derbys/gibsons like these? these cost 800€ and they don't have my size
unless a boot/shoe does handwelted/channeled insole construction, everything is the same as far as process goes for GYW shoes. A $2k pair of Edward Green shoes or a $800 pair of Crockett and Jones or a $300 pair of Red Wings is still built the same

>>18703303What’s “clicking”?
>>18703909The part of making boots where they cut the leather to then be lasted (made to fit a foot shape). Leather isn't a perfectly consistent material, poor clicking may have different grain patterns or weakspots or just look different between left & right boot.
>>18703920Thanks
>>18703909Not all parts of a hide are good and usable. "Clicking" is the process of cutting around the good parts and not using the unsuitable partsWolverine is absolutely notorious for their bad clicking. They will make an entire boot out of the throwaway pieces and charge a premium for it
I bought a pair of the Viberg engineers they released last spring and I think I've worn them three times. The 2000 last fits pretty well on me but not quite as well as the 2030. Overall I think engineers are pretty cool but I can't decide if the style just isn't for me, if I prefer to wear pairs that fit even just a little better, or a combination of the two.
>>18694549> are you fucking stupid.A hot chick at gym acts like she wants me.I think she might be mentally retarded.What do?
>>18703207franks patriot
>>18702729Are they supposed to look like the shoes a Tom Waits character would wear? (I like them btw)
>>18704095It's not for everyone. I had the benefit of seeing a lot of nice engineers in person before buying anything and realized they're just not my style.
>>18694552Looking to buy Engineer boots from Nicks in the color similar to the one on the right on this image, same color as this image basically >>18694563Is it called brown XCL?
>>18704354I meant Brown CXL oops
>>18704354it's tan waxed flesh
>>18704367Not on the list
My Blundstone 585s ended up being the boots I wear the most since I tend to baby the more expensive ones but I feel like there are no brown belts that match the leather on these, should I just wear a black one
>>18704460Don't know any off hand, but I feel like a belt made from one of CF Stead's brown-ish rambler leathers could be close.
>>18704370it was a limited run at the time
>>18704460Unless you're wearing a suit jacket or tucking your shirt and dressing nice, no one will ever notice or care what color belt you wear
>>18704354that's a waxed flesh
>>18704354Roughout engineers are ugly. Get black or brown CXL with a flat sole like vbar
>>18704634>recommending microsoft chromexcelare redditors still doing this? really?
>>18704750its babbys first good leather and requires little maintainace
>>18704877>good

>>18705113>why
>>18705147Cucked out and uses plastic, leatherboard, celastic, etc.

>>18707773>>18707778Cry bitches. And they're not uncomfortable, not sure where that meme came from
>>18702729maybe moma.it or mattia capezzani
>>18707997doc martens were absolute shitters for decades already, but now they rebranded themselves as fast fashion for women too, good choiceas far as trend chasing you're a year latei don't know why you even bother ironing a crease in these pants, when they look cheap from a mile awaythe overlock stitch on these is the same quality as on disposable patient gowns
>>18708022Were you crying when you made this post?
>>18708028i did feel pity
>noboots getting uppity Every time
>>18708022
