>>11577610

Overpriced Chinese made garbage. Get real surplus instead.

I've never had a pair that wasn't true

I hate chunky rubber soles on boots.

>>11578584
I found the pic while browsing the shirt so i wouldnt be surprised if they were also slp

>>11578597
shit. just copped. they're UK 7. should be US 8, right? im typically US9. figured they might run slightly larger

Real surplus black leathers are my favorites personally. Not the most comfortable but they'll last forever and look far more "dark and edgy" than docs. The older the better, I don't like the modernized designs, look for stuff like pic related (though obviously in better condition. You can always tell real vintage ones because they have the date of production stamped on the top in a M YY format.

Can someone id these please?

>>11578850
look like red wings

When do you tuck your pants in the boots and when do you cuff them?

>>11578838
I've been looking for stuff like you describe, you have any good sites for stuff like that?

>>11577520
hella pretentious lol, its just an ankle boot

>>11578185
puerhomme slp wyatt knock offs

I have these

Hey /fa/ is there a boot general or chart image that can show me whats ideal to get? i've stuck to english made docs and grensons all my life

>>11579065
Bump. Also, what're they called anyway?

>>11577520
Frye? You definitely better get them while that sale is going. Full price Frye is nonsense, to say the least.

>>11578850
Chippewa last, very apparent. Check their website for higher than 8" models.

how do you know?
it can be a logger from any other brand

>>11578654
Under Armour Jungle Rats

>>11579103
no, these >>11578599 are just ankle boots

combat boots are shit compared to prison boots and that's a fact of life, friend

>>11579065
>>11579563
paratrooper boots. ebay is good for them, or any surplus shop, I just search up" german/austrian paratrooper boots" and there's a shitload that come up.

>>11579432
I think what's ideal to get depends on your style desu

>>11579808
wtf this guy looks genuinely autistic

Clarks Desert Mali alternatives in the UK?
I'm only 173cm tall so I don't think I'll suit anything too chunky.

It's so cute when /fa/ tries to talk about shoes that aren't sneakers, like they have a clue what they're talking about. Pro tip: there's no such thing as "prison boots", and "ankle boots" is an extremely broad term.
Stick to the memedidas, kids.

>>11580163
I always assumed those were just people baiting. No way people genuinely believe that stuff

>>11580223
I've heard some pretty stupid shit said in earnest about welted shoes here.
It doesn't help that any legitimate knowledge out there on the subject tends to be mixed in with bullshit marketing terms.

>>11579574
275 seem reasonable for a pair of boots like this; 600 def isn't
the only brand I know of that hand makes goodyear welt boots for this price is http://www.unmarked.mx/collections/all but they don't have prison boots, and besides their collection has all these weird rainbow threads this year. Anybody knows of any other brand that makes quality shoes for a good price? preferably made in mexico or portugal (even better if us or england, but I won't kid myself)

>>11580358
so how would you call/describe this >>11577520 kind of boots?
and what are your opinions on welted shoes exactly? looks like you have much to say

>>11579851
He just needs to fix up his hair and he'll be an effay autist

>>11580359
Yeah, a pair of Frye's is in no way worth $600. You can get much nicer boots for that price.
>>11580373
Boots like this are typically called out by their lacing style (open vs closed/derby vs oxford), toe design (plain, cap, medallion), and height.
That pair would most accurately be described as a 6-inch plain toe derby boot. Loads of manufacturers make them. Notice that these: >>11580473 are basically the same, with slightly different proportions.
I've kind of fallen out of love with these kinds of shoes, because I've come to prefer flexible shoes with a flat sole and lots of room in the forefoot.

what kind of boots should I wear to achieve the "post rock interests me" look?

>>11579669
Where did "prison boots" even come from? The ones you posted just look like work boots, the same as the cdiems I posted before but with different proportions. And like >>11580163 said anlke boots is a broad term.

pic unrelated

What kind of boots do you like?

Are these too "clown shoes"?

>>11579808
knoch looks like someone just told him that refugees raped his grandmother

>>11577490
Does /fa/ approve of this outfit?
Dark Levi 501s with a Red and Black checked shirt and tan boots.

>>11579808
w2c pants like that?

>>11581793
we wont know unless you post a picture of the clothes on you

fit is more important than anything else

>>11580638
fucking lmao

>>11580638
black and beat up

>>11579808
How much do they run, typically?

>>11581718
what size shoe? i think they look fine

>>11582056
9 1/2 US. I feel like I should have gone with 9

Reds are a little over a year old now

>>11581780
People usually get that kind of boots vibramed, they are not ment for hard wear (are 1600+ shoes ment to be for working/hiking/etc...?) but are still durable.

I had Clarke desert boots for the past 2 years but its time to get some new boots. I really like the desert boots but I think its time for something new. What would you recommend? I like the beige suede kind of colour

>>11582038

>>11581718
That's just how Iron Rangers fit. Red Wings are known for having a rather bulbous toe box that looks more exaggerated with larger sizes. Have a pair myself, I wear them a bunch but they certainly aren't ideal.

Wesco if you can afford them. They have tons of bespoke options but expect to pay $600+ and wait a few months to get them. Viberg is nice for ready to to wear but also very pricey. I like Chippewa best for (relatively) affordable boots.

>>11582103
the toebox though... blegh

>>11582298
Sure but just because theyre IRs doesnt mean they cant be clown shoes

>>11582366
Not saying they aren't. If anything I'm saying that IRs are known for being a bit clowny, some like it some don't.

>>11577520

kek

>>11580501
this is a wholesome post. thank you

>>11582055
i'm in bongland and I bought my pair for £30. they're not very expensive.

what should I search for when I shop for vintage milsurp?

>>11583968
milsurp boots

really like these to be honest

>>11578916
If you are trying to go for a military look, tuck them with baggyish pants, if you just tryna flex, cuff

rick suede combats

I have and love Guidi combats. I have the slim backzip version that works well with my skinny build. I kinda want some chunkier rick style combats for heavier fits.

Here is what i wear mostly , i do lace them all the way i don't know why they're not here, also the cigarette is so i seem cool to people on the internet

>>11586267
here's one all the way up ( yeah i went out at 5am for a cigarette sat on a bench and took a picture of my shoes like a loser )

Why are Doc Martens soles so fucking disgusting looking? Why do they all look so bulbous?

What a shit brand

>>11586316
to me docs look alright if they have black soles if not it looks very out of place and too big, the black blends

I've been looking into getting a pair of Clark's Desert Mali Boots in black. I like the slim silhouette and the ~6 inch height, but I'm not sure if I should get the regular black leather or the black beeswax leather ones. Also, does anybody have any recommendations for alternatives of equal or higher quality boots of the same look?

>>11579133

>>11586700
Can't seem to find them online but i bought them at ASOS in person

where can i find cheaper work boots? the ones suggested in the sticky are like $300-$500 and i cant spend that much on boots right now

>>11587468
real work boots or 'work boots'?

>>11587487
"work boots"
i love the look but my job would never require them

>>11587491
get some cheap dunlop steel toe capped from sports direcct

>>11577737
just got these and they're fucking awesome. should i treat the leather with anything to lengthen their life?

and what's the wear etiquette during rain?
