I really wanna get the palladium boot for casual wear but am affraid of it to bee too flashy or too "chunky" looking on my foot. Any advice guys?

Fuck.

>>10532017
they look neat anon

Thinking about copping LL Bean gumshoes

Don't want to make the same mistake I made two winters ago and buy doc martins-- not warm enough and a little too edgy for me

The consensus online seems to be that ll bean is your best bet for sub 150 boots that actually keep you warm while looking moderately good

>>10532119
They look patently ridiculous when clean but imo v nice when worn in

>>10532040
Nice boots.

>>10532119
There was a person at my college who owned these. her fits were always on point when she wore them. I say go for it

>>10532040
I'm trying to find the same color of those models on the Palladium site.

>>10529084

why no timberlands? not really into boots myself but I was browsing and saw some pretty decent stuff from that brand

>>10532186
nah theyre good, just already have them and I was looking for something a little less popular tbh

Wanna cop cp combat boots.
Does anyone have experience with those?

>>10532017
what are these?

anybody know what stores sell palladiums?

>>10532297
Palladium literally has there own stores in malls.

I went in one at the mall this week.

Honestly I was so hyped for the palladium tacticals, because they looked so awesome online, and /fa/ hyped the shit out of them.

They were just really bulky at the top, and they were not streamlined at the top and looked autistic as fuck in person. Not to mention they were sway shorter than I expected, I guess online I just saw a lot of manlets wearing them, because I expected them to be taller.

Overall I was so hyped, and they were just a big disappointment.

wheres the cheapest I can get classic 6 inch wheat timbs?

What to wear with a light brown peacoat? IIC dark brown chelsea would make sense, but are there other options? And would it go with dark blue jeans? Also take into consideration that weightlifting>fashion for me so I have moderately big upper legs and wear tapered jeans which could make chelsea a no-no right?

Are docs complete meme tier and shit? Looking at these

What are these called? They look nice

I found an old pair of Docs at my parents', the thing is i think they're a size or half a size too small, they fit awkardly, is there a way i could fit in them without being annoyed and in pain? They're in good condition and look sick witht he worn out look, kinda Work Boot-y, i'm not sure about the model, p cool

>>10532892
they just look like timberlands

where do i get cheap fracap fa??

Something just being sold on ebay. Doesn't look like there is a brand to it

>>10534004
stay away from those listings
seriously
when the product arrives it will look different from the photos
the stitching will probably be wonky
they will fall apart quickly
and most importantly they will fit poorly

do not skimp on footwear
you spend half your life in shoes and you don't wanna fuck up your body by wearing bad footwear

where can i find something like pic rel

help please

>>10534039
just search for moc toe boots

>>10534041
Is there a question here? Are you asking which to cop? I don't care for the look of either but the black ones definitely work better than the colorway on the right.

>>10534048
thanks mate, couldnt remember name of the style

whats wrong with them?

and do you consider boots in your pic good?

>>10532324
Tacticals are probably the only style of palladiums i wouldnt cop, thats your problem there

I think he means because those boots look terible when not worn with a uniform. I'd never wear my nikes with my civvies because it looks gay af

These or all black Diemme's with rubberized finish?

Open for other suggestions, preferably black and in the $5-600 price range

>>10535009
cop but prob not v good for cold weather

Anybody know of any /fa/ certified CSA approved work boots? I'm working towards an apprenticeship and I'm sick and tired of dressing like a bottom barrel laborer of society.

Are these good as a timbs alternative?

thinking about gettings some docs. how do they hold up? hows pic related?

Doc Martens any good? I really like the look of these, but hate that they have a zipper up the side.

Is Clarks a good brand for boots?
Should I cop?

>>10532040
get the baggy canvas instead

>>10535420
Got some brown docs yesterday and I really like them. you can tell they are very high quality, they actually look better in person to be honest because they look kinda strange in picture

i have these. they're breddy nice and fit well

My Chippewas are weird. The left one lies pretty flat but the right on has a bump or something in the heel, so my foot can rock.

>>10529854
what r these

>>10528962
buying timbs which arent timbs.
>maximum autism detected

>>10535420
I have a pair of those right here. Some anons aren't into the silhouette but I really like them. They've been great for work and just daily use. And yes my pair is made in Vietnam, but as far as Ive seen they're still a quality shoe.

>>10536753
Fucking phone

>>10535420
I got a pair and they're surprisingly comfy, I got ones similar to your pic, would've got the mono black but they had none in shop and I wouldn't get a pair without trying them on first

I bought a pair of docs yesterday (£100) and they are absolute agony, but it should be worth it when I break them in. bought the wrong size last time (UK 8, I'm an 8 but they were enormous) but managed to sell them at £30 down from £80 after having them for a year

>>10535009
they look kind of stupid... it's a passing trend

Wanting to cop these, how are they in the snow?

>>10536878
get waterproof palladiums for snow bruh

>>10536878
palladiums aren't that great for winter unless you get the waterproof and/or insulted ones, and their traction isn't amazing

they're going to be better than anything that's not a boot but palladiums are mostly for looks, not function

>>10535384
Nothing will ever be that good besided timbs

>>10536900
like these? http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HSS5OVW/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_S_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=2MDWGY3ZD9TNN&coliid=I3L2N6IFI3L2XO&psc=1

don't know if they can actually stand up to the snow.

Depends how you want to go about it, whether or not you want more of a dress boot or more of a worker-esque boot.

>>10535870
Clarks is a good brand for boots. I'd recommend finding a store and trying shit around for a bit as they tend to run rather big. Please do not wear desert boots for winter.

>>10535420
Good straight out the box, you might want to get a polish/conditioner depending if you're looking for a more vintage look or a more put together look.

>>10536819
Get some isopropyl alcohol, say 70-80%, soak a sock in it, and then wear the boots for a few hours. The alcohol weakens fibers around tension points and works extremely well. Make sure you don't have cuts on your feet. It's an old trick people used to use when they were issued combat boots that were too tough.

>>10537118
>Depends how you want to go about it, whether or not you want more of a dress boot or more of a worker-esque boot.
can you not get the best of both worlds?
i want something that doesn't totally look like a work boot but it can still stand up to snow, slush and bitter cold.

>>10537151
Look, at the end of the day if you really need a work boot go get a timberland boot and water proof the fuck right out of it. It will be a disgusting shade of camel and look like a work boot. It will also be comfy and keep your feet safe and dry.

If you want a boot that gets a nice antique look to it, consider beeswax boots as their age does make them look better or more worn. If you polish them, you're going to look rather strange.

If you want to go absolute top shelf, you can splurge and spend almost a grand on cordovan dress boots made by some old Spanish bastard.

It's all about a middle ground.

>>10535870
For instance is a zip up and is decently made. It's tumbled leather, and I wouldn't wear it with a suit.

You could wear it business casual, though.

>>10537170
>boot
i do need a work boot but i'll worry about that later, i just want something that doesn't look fucking awful but will still not get wet as fuck from snow. and
>you can splurge and spend almost a grand on cordovan dress boots made by some old Spanish bastard.
isn't really an option.

>>10537185
Alright, then it all becomes the occasion.

Like in the C/N thread, someone posted

http://www.clarksusa.com/us/mens/mens-view-all/Montacute-Lord-Brown-Wlined/p/26103808

Or maybe the tanned version, I don't know. They are dressy enough in person that you could wear them to a middle tier occasion. Not to a wedding or a business meeting, but to a formal event.

I had a pair from way back in black, and they're comfortable and decently lined. This is a midtier dress boot.

http://www.clarksusa.com/us/mens/mens-view-all/Dargo-Rise-Black-Leather/p/26110929

If I was putting in the same money would probably buy that instead. It's less dressy, I might not be able to wear it to work, but I also feel that it looks more casual and workable on the day to day.

With a weather guard, these are both serviceable for the winter as long as you don't live in like Finnish Lapland or something.

>>10535129
They worth the price? If I'm going to spend that much I just want something that will last a few years.

>>10535847
Have you ever owned a pair of high lace up boots?

Zippers are great. No one sees them as they're interior, and you will save so much time you'll never want to go without.

Anyone know where to cop kinda similar Chelseas as these? Every online store is out of my size(womens 8 - 8.5).

Shoes in pic are ECCO Saunter Chelsea Bootie(s)

>1 review
>It's too tight and makes a sound when I walk
>2/5 would recommend

But yeah, that style is pretty basic I can't imagine it being hard to find. If you were a bigger size, you could shop for men's if you're looking for a smaller heel; it's usually as straight forward in US as men's = women's size +2

blundstones?

>>10537218
>With a weather guard,
what's that?

>>10537276
Well, for leather you can use a cream that has a water repellent and this extends the life of the leather and keeps your feet dry.

For suede and canvas, you can use an alcohol based spray to repel water. You can also use this on leather, but it's works for a shorter period of time. You can also weather proof jackets, hats, bags, that sort of deal.

>>10528962
Anyone know any boots 4 short peoples?

I really like combat boots but it looks like I'm trying to look taller but failing.

Chippewa 20086.

Cop or not? Would like a pair of gray boots. Anyone know how this style would hold up in snow or slush?

>>10532040
Get a pair. I recommend you buy a leather version; it's a much higher quality product with only a minimal increase in price.

Don't worry about it looking too chunky on your feet; the toebox is rather small but not uncomfortable by casual wear standards, so it cuts a fairly narrow silhouette for a boot. They fit true to size, but not too tight.

Picrelated. My baggy leather gussets after ~6 months of regular wear. Size 9 US (39 EU), 181.4cm.

>>10537238
ya know what, no I never have. Now that I think about it, it seems like it could be smart to have. Thanks anon. Any idea on quality or fit?

>>10535009
>>10535040
I got them in Coyote, they're pretty comfy

>>10537789

>>10532017
>lateral zippers

is it acceptable to pair black boots with a brown leather jacket?
i know it's frowned upon when wearing suits but im not so sure about casual wear

>>10537789

What size are those? I have baby feet so I don't know if those would look good on me.

>>10538178
Size 11 US

My foot is 11 in. long and 5 in. wide and these feel good if maybe ever so slightly loose. If I wore socks that were thicker I'd be okay.

The SFB socks that they have are good and fix the slight size thing, but they're a little bit long and go past the top of the boot by about 3 or so inches

>>10537507
i like them. i showed them to my dad because i was thinking about them but he doesn't like wedge soles so he shot them down :(

>>10537507
I don't really like the sole

What do you guys think of my docs?

>>10536819
You should straight lace those

>>10539022
Looks nice.

Just copped a pair of Cheaney boots for winter use. Figured a rubber sole would be preferable with all the rain and snow.

>>10539022
which ones are those?

>>10539621
They are 1460 Brown leather

>>10539771
thanks buddy i like em.

>>10534515
ppl always take pics of their corcorans at that angle to hide how hideously wide the toebox is

Just got these visvim desert boots. I probably won't wear them much til spring, but I couldn't pass on a chance to get my favorite colorway of ISDT.

>>10528962
Can someone suggest an affordable boot brand that is generally popular around /fa/?

John Lobb

>>10540494

>>10536350
what are these? they look pretty nice

>>10540485
Depends on what you mean by affordable. Some people here consider Cheaney to be affordable, while some call Timberlands expensive.

>>10540539
Only want to spend around $100-120 or less of course.

>>10540574
timberlands in an outlet

Just got these recently, hoping that they will hold up to the winter coming. I'm a big fan of them thus far though.

i really wanna cop all black timbalands

>>10540630
hope you got some all black rims to match those all black timbs fam

c/n?

I dont know if i can survive winter with these.

>>10540606
are thorogoods actually any good?

first time posting on /fa/

are these boots any good? i kinda like how they look in the pic but i am not sure.

>>10540787
no

Bought these a while back

>>10528962
I always look at this boot and think Timberlands but I see this exact boot with lots of different logos and labels. Are these just a style of their own? Can anyone explain this, I'm retarded.

>>10532197
wtf

Just ordered some $57 knock-off SFBs. Because they're all made in the same factory anyways.

>>10540685
Have this exact pair and you would freeze your feet off in winter.

The boots I just bought. Did I do good /fa/m?

>>10535420
They're a $100 boot with fake leather so it's not really high quality but they should hold up fairly well.

>>10541384

Will do. I'll just return them if they look horrible.

>>10541531
AliXpress, just search for "8 SFB boot" and you'll find a shit-ton of knock-offs. Just buy from a reputable vendor, in case you want to return them.

>>10541533
>>10541538

Why not?

>>10541632
They're ugly?

>>10529854

I ordered some boots similar to those from Chippewa and I still haven't got them almost 2 months later. Has anyone else had this problem because I'm pretty sure I'm not stupid for thinking it shouldn't take this long.

>>10542024
maybe theyre back ordered and still majing the boots?

>>10529913

>closed channel sole stitching

nigga you don't know shit about shoes. fuck off.

>>10540685

Most of your warmth would come from the socks. But the crepe soles are pretty terrible for traction. Consider the beckman boots, which comes with a commando tread

Are there any black boots worth buying <$300, all I see are Dr. Martens or something ridiculous expensive

Anyone had an old pair of boots resoled?

I found a pair of my grandfather's old Red Wings (probably from the 80's, if not older), and they are beautiful. They were worked hard and show every mile, but the soles are toast (to the point where it's like walking on ice)

Just curious on experiences I guess. Like, would putting a new sole on such an old boot just goof it up? Are there other options?

yes/no?

>>10540789
how about these then?

i am on a tight budget and ebay isn't really an option here

>>10543476
>>10543480
No

thanks /fa/ I haven't seen a good boot thread in a while.
What are the basic parts of a boot I should be looking at to get something quality?
I live in northern california and need something for the rain that's coming up. I also ride a motorcycle and would like something with a little heft and grip for gravel roads.

>>10543502
>to get something quality?
Redwings are the only quality boot in all honesty, second is Wolverine but not really up to par with RW. Just look at their sections and pick out something you like

>>10537371
Ro-search combat boots

Bought pic related, Had to buy 11, even though I'm 10.5 to fit in wool socks.
Pretty satisfied, they seem durable and I copped them on sale.
Though I'm a bit afraid cause they look big on me (185 cm, 70 kg) but I guess I'll just have to endure.

>>10543531
>redwing
Is this a ruse?

why are ppl still wearing those clunky Americana boots?

>>10543723

No, not at all. Red Wings are typically the best bang for your buck, especially when they do go on sale once in a while.

compared to other entry level options (chippewa, golden fox) the quality of the leather, the insole is far superior.

>>10543743
Normal ppl don't even wear boots if weather doesn't force them to.

>>10537228
Yeah they are tough, they're made for purpose not style.

>>10543744
if you talk best bang for buck, let's name prices. they are hardly 3x as good as golden fox'.

red wing is known for shitty qc.

red wing makes clunky non-real-work work boots and nothing else. so if that isn't your style - American isn't in anymore - they aren't even an option.

>>10543775
they are not tough. get real work boots, not fake red wing heritage ones. Americana look is your average fashion fad and not more functional than others.

>>10543796
>fake redwing heritage
you do realize ll bean is focused on dad mode "fuck all I do is work." style. This boot is a monster, it's out of their Katahdin department which is working style. I guarantee this boot will out last an redwing

>>10543823
>Katahdin
Katahdin is rebranded Chippewa.
>working style
which fire/police/etc departments use them?

>>10543744
nice clown shoes

>>10543838
It's rebranded because ll bean came in and did some redesign, enough for it not to be a chippewa

>which fire/police/etc departments use them?

Post some that look decent.

What do people wear in the winter?
I need
>waterproof
>can deal with salt
>good traction

>>10543789

I think the red wing heritage line is 3x better than any of golden fox's offerings

>red wing is known for shitty qc

you mean wolverine, right? They're notorious for really shitty leather because they try to use every square inch that they buy at a premium from Horween.

>>10543843

talk shit post fits

Are duck boots fa

>>10543927
posting more pics of that clunky boot does totally show that this look would look not better without boots.

>>10543907
>>can deal with salt
why not just wipe it away? salt is pretty aggressive to any material.

>>good traction
for good traction on ice you would need spikes, which isn't that ideal when there's none.

Should I cop these?

Have fun buying china made boots that won't even last a year

About to order a pair of Faulkner Hi from Clarks.
Unfortunately I can't try them in the shop, anyone ever used or tried a pair of these? And do they look decent enough?

The reason I'm unsure about getting them is that, although I like the colour and it goes well with my Saddleback Leather satchel, I don't really know the brand.
But they are the only boots with the foldable leather on top, I can find, ships to Norway and doesn't have stupid zippers on the side.

>>10544233
you do realize before that Americana fad, not even Americans wore such clunky boots?

>>10544262
Americana never arrived in Europe, so those are just clown shoes in Europe.
Meanwhile sleek European shoes can be found in the US. SLP is a worldwide phenomenon, as are slim Italian suits.

>>10544262
you do realize only 15-18 year olds worn your gayboy boots back then? once out of school most ended up doing blue collared jobs and worn the 'work boot' 24/7/365.

Rust Belt started around 1980s, so you must be talking at least 1970s?

>>10532135
Don't think those are the same boot. Different colors and the sole looks different as well.

>>10536483
if it bothers you call customer service. They might give you a refund/replacement if your boot has a defect.

are these okay?

>>10544285
blue collar workers do not wear boots anymore. Americana fashionista think manufacturing is stuck 100 years ago. How about you get an actual blue collar job?
P.S. Blue collar workers also doesn't wear a blue collar anymore, just t-shirts.

Since you've only given out No's in this thread. Can you point out a few Yes' in this thread?

what yall think about palladium

>>10544407
>acknowledging the name fag
you're just as bad as him.

>>10544407
No why would I look through the whole thread? I say no because most people post ugly and cheap garage here

>>10544410
they're the next meme shoe, but I do like them.

>>10544389
can't say if shoes or boots.
obv there are some marginal jobs left that need safety shoes/boots, but most blue collar jobs don't.
if you are on an assembly line you want the most comfortable shoes.

What's wrong with >>10544386 ?
>>10544401

>>10544426
They're ugly and they're Frye which appeals to normies trying to fashion

Thinking about picking up these Diemme boots, y/n?

>>10544437
Y but not those

>>10544439
Want brown though to go with tan coat I have.

Do like these black ones though. Black boots tan coat?

>>10535121
Lunar Force One sneakerboots

>>10544457
Drop the tan coat

>>10544457
>>10544463
First time I agree with the namefag

What's a good cheap boot? So far I've found Chippewa 20080's for $140 Canadian. But I'd prefer sub $100 if there exists a good quality boot for that price.

>>10544344
>>10544457
what's the big difference here?

>>10535009
I want a pair so fucking bad for winter but can't find anywhere selling them in the UK in this Colorway or in triple black, best I've found is them in a disgusting redneck type woodland camo in a nike factory store.
anybody know where I can cop in the UK?

>>10544233
before Americana, men didn't wear boots by choice at all (except Texas), women always did. women also still wear real boots, i.e. knee-high. not those half-shoes.

>>10544481
forgot pic, these ones

>>10544478
one is Diemme an actual good brand, the other is Clarks a poo poo meme brand

>>10544474
golden fox

>>10544490
oh, you mean one comes from a successful company and the other one is better because you like the image it broadcasts?

>>10544463
Fair enough

Do want some footwear to go with tan coat though, even if not boots.

Also coat to go with black ones..

>>10544504
Yes Diemme is very successful

Honest opinions?

>>10544553
meme brand
avoid

I just got these, I like them.

>>10544566
they aigh apart from the rubber esophagus bit.

id on these boots?????????

>>10544432
Try to pretend for a second that they aren't Frye boots.

Purely based on the boot's aesthetic is it still a no-go? I can get these for dirt cheap and dont really have the money for non "normie" brands.

>>10544589
Black timberland boots

>>10544611
yes moc toe is garbage

literally asking for liquid to pool on the toe box lmao

>>10544611
he can't.
don't even try.

He likes the diemms because they are a status symbol. They are made in italy, they costs twice as much as other boots. They are hard to find in the states.
They are a fine shoe, but aren't somehow the diamond in the rough that experienced patricians can find.
He's meerly trying to be a special snowflake and show off his affluence.

>>10544437

I have these exact boots and I love them. Probably can get them on sale if you wait till january or so.

>>10544627
Honestly think the Diemme's collection is sort of boring, nice looking shoes, but there's no edge to them I guess.

>>10544628
cheers man, I kinda want them soonish to wear through winter. Might hold out until christmas, hopefully they go on sale.

>>10544615
>yes moc toe is garbage
Kek.

Just copped these, anyone have anything to look out for?

>>10545187
how tall is the sole on these things?
they seem to be a low profile shoe, but i can't get a sense of scale i nthe image

>>10528962
Does anyone here like RM Williams? They're an Australian brand of boots who make the shoe from a single piece of leather.

I'm not a regular /fa/ user.

>>10545187
>anyone have anything to look out for?
poor quality

>>10545267
that's not accurate. they're ugly for sure, but i dailied a pair for almost two years and they didn't have so much as a rip.

What's a good effay substitute for Red Wing's Iron Rangers if you don't want to break the bank on some boots?

>>10545319
cmn, 250-300 bucks. For a pair of great quality boots. Even your children gonna wear them for years, before they are gonna break complete. Just buy them one time and rest in piece.

>>10545194
The sole is about 2.4cm thick on the rear section, and about 1.3cm thick on the front section. A pair of chuck taylors, for example, is 2.5cm thick, so yes, palladiums are effectively a low profile boot.

>>10544358
Black jeans will add a bit more weight to the brown/red highlight near the welt, which can be good or bad depending on whether you like the highlight or not.

>>10542546
About $150, retail.

>>10545374
Americana fad will be long over by then. Guess why your family didn't own any before?

And no, giving them your children is totally unrealistic. your upper will not last 30 years, nor will your children have the same feet than you.

Thinking about these for winter. Opinions?

I'm looking to spend $300-$500 on a good pair of boots. Are Wolverine 1000 Miles still well regarded here? What are some good alternatives besides Red Wings?

>>10543927
im really diggin your hair for some reason. how'd you get it? I got unkempt long hair at the moment

>>10544481
fam those arnt winter boots

>>10535420
>>10537627
Got these 2 on clearance sale. $160 all together. how did I do /fa/?

>>10546186
wasted $160

>>10543453
Like what, fam?

That's about it, I don't tuck my pants into them.

Hey /fa/, /k/ here.

Any idea where I can get something like pic related?

>laceup, at least halfway to toe
>subtle toe
>dark, if not black
>little to no heel

>>10537627
Those look great, Palladium leather gusset?

>>10537371
Nice, but the laces weird me out somehow

>>10544348
Mechanics working in a garage should wear steeltoes at least, an engine block or heavy shit falls on your feet good luck fam

looking for some hiking boots that aren't ugly as hell, any thoughts? price range between 200 - 300 US dollar

>>10544344
>>10546350
these were okay

Clark's desert malis look nice but I hear they aren't winter proof. If you want something that will keep your feet warm and are winter proof. Pick up some doc martens

>>10546319
You will want something at least 10 inches tall, if not higher. Most jump boots are about 10 inches tall, although they tend to have traditional raised heels. Look around on uspatriottactical.com, they have lots of combat boots at good prices with fast shipping.

And yes, >>10537627 is Palladium baggy leather gusset.

>>10546350
Hiking boots tend to be pretty uggo, unfortunately. Found a couple that might work for you:

http://uspatriottactical.com/danner-mountain-assault-gtx-canteen-military-boot

http://uspatriottactical.com/danner-mt-defiance-gtx-brown-hiking-boot

Danner makes a bunch of hiking boots that are similar in appearance to >>10544344, but the soles are much chunkier.

I would direct you to the footwear general thread on /out/, but it's gone now. In any case, /out/ might be able to help you. Perhaps lurk and post there for a while if you haven't already.

>>10543462
plz halp

>>10532938
I'm picking my thrifted 1460s up from the cobbler. You should go and ask them

>>10544386
I have the shoe sully. Really nice, soft, lasted for a year in Germany walking all over Europe. I Imagine the Sully lug would be just as nice.

So Converse just dropped these. Would you get them over Nike's SFBs or Adidas's Yeezy 950s?

>>10547247
nope. ugly as fuck.

>>10528962
Just copped these clarks for 40% off

>>10544233
>nice chelsea's you queer
why are you even here
slp is probably the most widely agreeably considered good look on this board

>>10547406
>slp is probably the most widely agreeably considered good look on this board

>>10546746
mfw they don't sell those in europe and are out of stock on US amazon and clarks smh

>>10537228
LL bean has literally the greatest warranty and customer service ever. Life time warranty brah. No questions asked.

>>10532040 here

>>10537627
Are they good for winter anon?

>>10547409
refute it
what style would you posit is more generally accepted and approved?
this isn't 2007, workboots and raw denim decidedly aren't it
not saying this grants it some mandate of goodness, I just feel like there're better places to bitch about boots not being masculine enough for you

>>10547433
Most people fucking hate the SLP "aesthetic"
Maybe leave the generals once in a while eh?

>>10544840
The fuck.

>>10547444
this only generals I read are high fashion ones, slp generals are the same 20 inspo pics every time
I personally don't find it the most interesting or good looking, I just can't think of any other design principles ("scandanavian minimalism" bs potentially aside) that have the same general approval
again, I ask you for a different style more accepted and liked that isn't effectively basics
also, this is as close to a general that'd be against that style as any (this thread feels like that godawful reddit shoe thing), and other people still defend chelseas

>>10547444
>most people
you are on a fucking /fa/ and should care how you dress. not like most people that do not.

>>10547471
Chelseas are the only acceptable boots, if you aren't in TX.
Boots in general died with Americana again, but some idiots got duped in spending lots of money in "quality" footwear, are now stuck with them and try to rationalize.

>>10544488
the only reason i havent bought is because of that like shiny black thing

>>10546265
like with better lighting, from the back, and one with both shoes in it

i was gonna get sage but that coyote color might be better

>>10543927
saved

>>10547247
not bad tbh

>>10547493
>Chelseas
>boot
it's almost like you never leave the pavement

>tfw you missed the sale on these
why bother

>>10528962

>>10547247
definitely over the cheezys those are so dull.

Should I cop?

>>10532324
Where can I cop pants like that? They look like they're cut like jeans, but heavier and of course a different color.

>>10549322
no

>>10549322
polo ralph lauren is probably the shittiest shoe brand i have ever encountered

i bought a pair and they looked dope for like 3 hours, then the glued on sole started peeling off at the creases and the leather laces left little bits of leather everywhere. the canvas is thin as fuck too

maybe you'll have a different experience but mine have the same sole and laces as your pic and they're honestly shittier than aldo. pic doesnt even look that good so dnc

>>10534039
Check out eastland boots.

>>10549361
What do you recommend?

>>10549441
idk man depends on what youre using them for

if you just want some cheap fall boots im currently rocking a pair of leather steve maddens and canvas palladiums, dont expect them to last that long but if you alternate between pairs of shoes and take good care of them they'll last a couple seasons at least

based on my university tho it seems like palladiums are the next meme normie fall boot; i bought mine like a month ago thinking i would be cool and edgy but just today ive seen like 2 pairs of them and three of my friends bought a pair this week

for winter i'm looking at timberlands for some nice conservative boots, and maybe a pair of those waterproof chucks cuz i think they look cool even if most people don't

>>10546135

nah, 1000 miles are trash. You'll get some form of loose grain creasing because Wolverine wants to use every square inch of the leather even if it's trash, the leather soles are terrible for any increment weather and worst of all they can't even resole their own boots.

>>10534041
I want these so bad but I'm too poor.

>>10543462

send it to red wing and ask for a resole. it's as simple as that.

>>10544421
what about this?

>>10549210
Damn, those are sexy.

should i even cop?

I think I'm gonna get a pair of black timbs.

Should I go with smooth or nubuck?

How does nubuck fare in wet weather and how does it age?

How do you guys feel about these?

>>10541384
damn couldve got real ones for like 30$ more

>>10549580
>roof has two different pitches
10/10
I fucking lost it and threw my laptop across the room. Posting from my phone.

>>10549573
Can you offer any recommendations? I haven't been able to find anything I like aesthetically other than the 1000 Miles.

>>10536402

>>10549933
These look amazing, even though 'm not a huge fan of hook eyelets
