I want a pair of boots that can be worn any season, are durable and don't require much care (treated like beaters) and aren't faggy. Any suggestions?

>>13909672
and that cost under 100 USD that can walk on lava?

>>13909672
just get Nike combat boots

>>13909672
Red Wing Iron Rangers
Get them and never look back

Just copped these:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00GO3X4KK/

Should I keep them? When and how should I wear them?

Retard

>>13909723

I thought they'd go well with moleskins and cords and darker jeans. The question was open because I'd like to here suggestions.

I want a pair of loden cordovan boots. Maybe a pair of bluchers instead. Not decided but I'm not in position to make purchase at moment.

Shill me boots for poorfags. I can't afford to spend $1000 on red wings

I just want a pair of quality all around black boots that will look good and im too autistic to find anything

>>13909790
Get a pair of custom Carminas.

can you cut that annoying thing off??

>>13909800
No, it's made of titanium steel, plexiglass, dark matter, and onions radiation. Even if you managed to secure the materials to create (such an item has not been invented yet) a tool to remove the tag, the FBI, CIA, DoD, assorted bounty hunters and the U.S Military would kick down your door and execute you on the spot. It is very dangerous, anon. No, you can not cut that annoying thing off.

I never leave my house wearing sweats, this was just what I had on when they arrived and I wanted some pics.

I got some plain toe katahdins this year. I love them. I kind of want to flatten the toe but I don't want to ruin them. They're my most expensive item of clothing by far. Mostly I just wear Target brand shit.

I kind of want a nice black boot but I don't want to spend more than 150 and Golden Fox doesn't make any black ones. Thought about Desert Mali Clarks. Are they that bad for a nice budget boot?

>>13909864
tasty

For some reason 4chan is turning my pictures upside down

Also copped these black George Cleverley boots at 50% off during the Mr Porter summer sale. Storm welt and dainite sole, perfect for the current weather.

>>13909863
Do you need that heavy a sock to get them to fit?

>>13910370
No, they are an extremely snug fit with thick wool socks. They fit just fine with normal socks.

>>13910375
Thanks - Awesome boot BTW.

>>13910393
No problems, cheers

Leather laces, why?

What boots are these, are they solovairs?

>>13910360
Alright this is probably a stupid question but don't brogues let water in?

>>13910636
Nope. The holes are punched in the cap leather, not the base leather.

>>13910636

There are no stupid questions my friend.

Fun fact. Broguing was originally introduced to let water out of shoes while wearing them on Scottish bogs. These days the holes are decorative and as the previous poster says, punched into the cap leather, not base, and don't let water in or out.

no winter here, but i've been wearing these a lot lately

>>13910721
anon, i ...

>>13910636
>brogues
The question should be - doesn't water fuck leather up.

>>13910721
They make boots out of cacti now?

>>13910654
>>13910676
Well thanks, it seemed stupid when I was typing it, but good to know.

>>13909860
Shit I’ve been eyeing those for some time. Not sure whether I would go with the roughout or the tan scotch grain. How’s the sizing of the Cleverlys compare to the C&J.

>>13910755

>>13910789
My Coniston boots are 11,5 UK. The Cleverley boots are 11 UK, but the fit is slightly more snug, while the Coniston is slightly more roomy. Both fit well, but I cannot wear thick wool socks in the Cleverley. That's ok as it is a dress boot.

>>13910620
They're Grinders.

Redpill me on barneys boots. They always have a bunch of em on sale for 40-60% off on top of being discounted.
https://www.barneyswarehouse.com/product/barneys-new-york-lug-sole-leather-boots-506129866.html

They're Italian made, but otherwise I don't really see much info on them. Are they worth the 150-200 they're usually on sale for?

>>13909672
Literally just some old-ass surplus boots. The Soviet Union manufactured some of the hardest boots available. And if you can stand a day without them every 10 years (to get them re-soled), then you're all set.

Corcorans on the same hand.

What's with the 70s porno carpet

Please Anons i really need your help, these are my first boots :(
I got these for 60% off and i love them a lot, getting a lot of compliments and they complete my style.
My right foot is a bit bigger than my left one and i think theyre too small. I always get blisters with new shoes, so i cant really tell how bad it is, walking hurts anyways.
Should i keep them, i.e. will it get better when the leather shapes around my foot?
If not, how do i refurbish them so i can get my money back?
Can you direct me to shoes that look similar?
Exchanging for a bigger size is not an option, i cant find them anywhere.

>>13910733

>>13911694
Always buy for the larger foot. Leather will stretch/shape to your foot over time, but not all that much. Even less if there is a lot of seams.

>>13909798
Got these, they're good looking but god fucking damn do they hurt, they're uncomfortable as FUCK, the leather is already ripped in some places, and the sole sucks ass even compared to docs'.

Are these effay? I really like them but not sure how good they may look irl.

Thoughts on Beckett Simpson? Thinking about getting some oxfords from them

>>13909800
No or they revoke your ownership of the boots and send in the bailiffs

>>13910799
they make leather out of s.oyboys now?

>>13911694
Dunk them in hot water like 40-60 maybe degrees and let the waters sinl into the leather then walk about in them for like 5 mins and let them dry at room temperature, away from any sources of heat.

>>13909863
>>13909860
They look amazing. Good cop

>>13911927
I have thin feet, whenever i wear normal shoes there's way too much room up top

>>13911694
Try a tin of Kiwi leather conditioner and really work it in and mash the area that bothers you most. Also I would suggest investing in blister pads whenever you are buying new boots

Just got these from Topman for $70, hope they don't fall apart too quickly

Just copped this chukka

There's a used pair of rare English boots I really like on eBay. The problem is I am a size 8D and the boots are 8.5D. If I were to put insoles in (or try something else similar), could this make them fit well enough, or should I avoid buying altogether? Thanks lads

>>13911927
Have you ever even worn boots before? I have never had an issue with anything like that. Go up a width if you think the boot will fit tight.
The most comfortable footwear I own is my boots.

Is it worth paying 250$ for these?
https://www.ugg.com/ca/men-boots/seton-tl-boot/1008146.html

is there anything in the same price range thats objectively better, i tried them on and they fit well.

t. bootlet with no taste

>>13912320
Post them and I'll be able to help out.

>>13909864
open lace system with hidden eyelets is a little odd especially with speed hooks
the roughout leather looks really slim which is probably nice paired with the lining
I like the bar lacing but would suggest doing it so you can't see the crossing underneath, it will look even more refined, imho
this is a roughout suede which is different than the waxed flesh gaining popularity
these will probably scuff up really nicely so either you'll let them get rugged or if you get a suede brush and some wax you could maintain them


I think these look really sharp, good choice!

>>13912445
are you confusing width (C, D, E, EE) with length (10, 10.5, 11,etc)?

black boots and blue jeans

My mom bought me a long jacket recently, pic related

I don't own any boots, but figure boots would look good with it. Are solovairs actually legit or do we just meme them? Any other recs for a similar black boot?

>>13911927
They do not.

>>13912549
The roughout is actually quite thick and stiff. They will need a bit of breaking in. And yes, hidden bar lacing looks better, but it is a bitch to tighten, and I'm fine with the crosses underneath.

>>13910991
Are you sure, it has the green script like solovair. Grinder uses white script.

>>13912865
your mom has better taste than my mom lol
Black Chelseas or a sleeker black service boot. I think Solovairs would look stupid with that.

>>13912792
>black boots and blue jeans
they pair quite well
do less heroin

Am I crazy or are these pretty cool looking?

I know this is a boot thread but I thought this would be the best place to ask.

Anyone know of where I can get some black formal shoes for under £100? It’s only for work not personal, my boss needs me to get a pair under uniform budget so I just need a decent brand that’s alright quality for the budget.

I have size UK 13 feet btw

>>13913594
Clarks is probably your best bet in that price range.

>>13913594
Slaters and M&S.

>>13913594
Clarks, Ecco and Rockport IMO make the comfiest budget work shoes.

Will these ever look normal again? I used beeswax.. The package said "won't change colour".

>>13913662
I'm sorry anon but Christ that's fucking funny.

>>13912865
No solovairs are good boots they just get memed to piss off a couple spergs. Go for something slim

>>13913662
Ha! Sorry about your reddit shoes. Maybe. I've drastically darkened boots with treatments that contain beeswax and after a week or so of wear, the flexing and drying lightened them back up. YMMV

>>13913300
Thanks for the advice.
Any brand recs for either? Could 200-300 get me a solid boot?

>>13913662
you soaked the leather but didn't even touch the welt (stitching)
how did you manage to even do that?
Do up the other one and then wipe them down with a dry rag
they will lighten up again don't worry
you're better off

Boots that look good with jeans?

>>13910360
How much after the 50% off? To my knowledge C&J makes them for Cleverly. Do you know what last they’re using for them.

>>13914173
Around 320 USD after the reduction. I am not entirely convinced that C&J made them, but if they did, the closest last is 337 maybe.

Looking for Winter Boots atm.
Cop or not?

Someone blackpill me on Chelsea boots since I only ever wear dad sneakers.

I’m in UK, early 20s, 5’11, fairly muscular, can I pull them off or do I need to be tall and thinner?
I saw some nice black suede ones but I’m not sure if I’ll be making a mistake.

Can suede be coated so it doesn’t turn to shit?

Also, are there unironically any fits with sweatpants/cargos and Chelsea boots like Kanye but someone else?

cop or not?

I feel you. They're 15% off rn which puts em right under $90. I just feel like black would work better for me since most of my wardrobe is black gray, and camo.

>>13914224
They are fine.
They can be coated but it makes look like shit instead. Called waxed suede.

Don't know why fa is so triggered with chelseas.

>>13915196
Rude

>>13909800
I advise against it. My mom told me how my uncle bought Solovair boots back when I was a baby and mentioned he would like them more without that little pull tab at the back. About 2 weeks later, he disappeared. The investigators opened his apartment and just found a pair of scissors near his closet that was suspicious. At first they suspected a possible murder, but the scissors were not stained with blood or anything confirming this suspicion. To this day, nobody has ever seen a trace of him again. Over the decades, there were rumors of him living incognito somewhere in SEA, but those were never confirmed either. Anon, I would not touch that tab if I were you. Be safe.

By the way, what does /fa/ think of these boots?

>>13914071
You have been told twice no one wears jeans with balmoral. Now go back to 2ch.

Take them to a cobbler. They can usually stretch shoes by half a size or so.

>>13913642
>>13913631
>>13913643
thanks!!

>>13911694
You're sort of fucked. Leather CAN stretch, but doesn't have to. Especially in length it's difficult.

Much has been said already. This is probably the best idea to avoid you fucking them up further: >>13915922

Another option is to use the classic methods. Take a blow dryer and heat up the toe area, then take a sturdy broom and stick it in the boots with the tip pressing against that area. Now yank, squeeze and brutalize the boot to stretch it out. Afterwards apply leather conditioner to soften that area up and to prevent it from getting too dry. Then repeat the whole action. Heat, broom, cream. Heat, broom, cream.....

But honestly this mainly works for wearing the leather in, to make it comfy, not to extend the size of the whole shoe bed. My personal advice is to forget about it. You will only get frustrated. Learn from this and buy the right size next time.

>>13914391
Mainly Rain here. Any better Proposals?

I have a lot of boots and sneakers in my collection I love wearing, but the one pair I could never wear properly in an outfit is this pair. Can I get some advice? Last outfit I wore with them was a pair of gray trousers, black sweater, and a CG Chilliwack bomber. Any advice?

>>13916160
>>13915922
Thanks so much Anons these two advices help me perfectly

any way to bring back the original colour? used mink oil and it darkened the life out of my boots

>>13909779
who makes these boots? looks so good wtf

>>13916850
>I used an oil that is known to darken leather and it darkened my leather
>my black boots are now black

Just wear them and don't really care about them, that should fade them for you. You want to dry out the leather

Are these too big? On the sides its a bit loose, its odd though because I am 12 us in boots

Hello all, long time lurker.. would like a pair of boots for a party this weekend..something i can wear to work as well. You guys think this would be good to grab? Also need something affordable.

http://a.co/d/dh9uavZ

>>13916977
define affordable and don't buy fake leather boots unless you're a tree fucking hippie dipshit. Whats your budget?

Can I get some opinions on these as an everyday/rainy day winter pair?

https://www.massdrop.com/buy/kodiak-magog-boot

Is the shoe too big, or is the design just like this? I am euro 46 in 1460 boots and this is eur 46 as well

>>13916991
Sub 100 honestly, i really gotta tighten my belt atm. Is fake leather really that bad? I honestly just put the order in...maybe it is fine for now, maybe when I am in a better place financially i can drop for something more decent?

thoughts?

>>13917063
bit generic, but they look fine

>>13917063
Yea I was thinking about copping, have a few pairs of paraboots and they’re great but not sure how I feel about this collab

>>13917029
They wont last for very long. If you can put some money aside every once in a while you can soon afford some nice leather boots and if you're happy to wear those for a while then fair enough.

>>13916895
If you don't already know I'm not spoonfeeding you.

>>13917063
suede looks so shitty after a while and is so hard to keep clean. its such a bad material for shoes, imo. just my five cents worth. wear these in the rain and they will be destroyed most likely.

i don't like the look of docs 1460 but I like that style of sole/boot, can someone rec a similar boot but with a smaller profile? kinda trying to build my style and I could use some direction, and docs are a little bulky for me

>>13909779
I really like this color. Based

>>13911927
Do you have 12 toes or something? You might need to go bespoke. Well-fitting boots do not crush your toes.

I like boots

>>13909790

Do you buy boots that actually fit you or do you blindly follow size-down advice from retards on /fa? You’re supposed to have space between your toes and the end of the boot. If width is the issue buy a wider size or last.

Hey /boot/, so I managed to cop some 7EE White’s Natural CXL’s during their 20% off Black Friday sale. When I sent my tracings in, the people at White’s told me my left foot was a 6.5F and right was a 6 FFF. So I assume with the added length should compensate for the width difference.

So my question is, since they come in tommorrow is a) should I condition them straight out of the box with Saphir and brush and b) if it doesnt fit right what brands do offer something for my clown feet?

>>13909800
I wouldn't risk it, they hang people for that in England.

Btw out of the box, should I condition my boots? Or wait a bit?

>>13920419
I'd say condition them straight away, you Dont know how long they've been sitting around drying out before they managed to get to you

>>13912792
If you think that looks bad you're retarded.
What else do black boots have to be paired with, oh wise one?

>>13910617
Blacksmithing, metalworking, forging etc. That way if something really hot falls on them it won't melt through the laces and ruin your day. I'm sure there's other purposes as well

>>13919044
Wow they make full leather crocs now? Just kidding they look legit, like something an actual 1800s mountain man would wear.

>>13911857
I got a pair of their GATs and I really like em. I had to size down a full size though. Long turnaround too

>>13920493
Ok for sure. Managed to order some Saphir Greasy Leather cream and a horsehair brush.

I’d want to use the same stuff I use for my calkskin Tods but the colors are different

>>13909863
Why so feminine?

Quick question
Can a cobbler make my boots "slimmer"?
I really like them but with the steel toe and being 9W they make the toe area look like clown boots for my liking

Asked in another thread,but no one has given me an answer, so i'll ask here:

How snug should shoe/boot trees fit?
I wear a size 11, and the ones I ordered are for 10-12, but they go in very tight.

copped

>>13921405
They should be snug. If they fit multiple sizes then it’s probably using springs and it compresses lengthwise. It should compress. If you drop it in and it doesn’t or it can move around in the shoe then they’re obviously too small.

What are some good socks I can wear with my light brown Thursday Captains?

>>13921405
they should be very snug

>>13921409
Those look good. Vibers? Daytons? Also some thick black rawhide laces would look nicer than flat laces I think.

>>13922343
They're redwing merchants. I'll give it a go once I've broken them in a bit right now these laces are just stiff as fuck can hardly get them through the eyelets

>>13922330
You're a big guy...

Thoughts?

>>13921409
Goddamn I really like the Merchants. I might have to get a pair soon since every time they are posted here I get a boner for them.
Where do you live that you copped black ones? They don't have them on their American website.

>>13911927
you should see the toes on people who've never worn shoes all their life

Opinions? I know doc martens kind of suck, but I really liked how these looked.

>>13923118
Pics on me + non manlet boot size

>>13921409
these look real nice, but wearing your boots loose is not effay at all brother

>>13910620
I'm kind of late, but if you you still wanna know, they're Getta Grip. I think the brand was part of Dr Martens and they were only around for a few years.

Will I look like a tool if I get some leather wellingtons?

>>13923146
"loose"? Please not him but I wish to learn

>>13923343
The leather of new boots is less flexible and therefore does not close up as a worn boot does for the same level of tightness. The tighter the boot is tied the better it looks generally

>>13923143
If you like them then get them, docs are a good first boot. If they're not your first boots then you should really get something nicer

>>13923330
wouldn't that just be cowboy boots

>>13923394
Not quite, but a cowboy workboot is probably a bit less autistic

>>13909596
i love shitty cowboy boots
cop?

I just bought a pair of Iron Rangers but I mostly wear skinny cut jeans. Do I just cuff them above the boot or stuff them in?

>>13923394
No get the more autistic wellies actually.

What was the final verdict on RMW Craftsmen? Get the classic?

Here are the natural CXL for my manlet feet (6FFF Right, 6F Left) ended up going to 7EE

Need some good conditioning so I can’t wear for now

FTM?

Looking for some Chelseas for under ,$200.

Was interested in the doc ones, but I wasn't a fan of the black ones since they look so rubbery. Anyone have a pair of crazy horse ones or that can recommend other decent Chelseas in that price range?

>>13923626
No just a manlet. Plus i have to return the boots, they sent me the wrong pair. Its supposed to be CXL not waxed

>>13918129
uh huh

>>13911927
You, and most men really, are wearing your shoes a few sizes too small.

>>13910357
>>13910349
any pics of them in mirror/without you wearing them
they look pretty good desu

You generally wear that sort of stuff if you don't care about looking like a tool.

>>13922849
from END in the UK they're "black spitfire"
>>13923146
just need to wear them in a bit and re do the lacing I just got them and wanted to throw on em on real quick

>>13910676
>>13924058
"bróg" just means "shoe" in Irish

Would brown top + brown boots be yikes?

I just found these boots on amazon for a hell of a deal. They're not name brand, but whatever idrc too much I think they look pretty cool.

>>13924403

>>13924388
It’s fine just avoid black for the most part

>>13924489
What do you mean

>>13923632
Bump

Just making sure the fit is right. Was told by White’s I’m a 6F on the left and 6FFF on the right, ended up going to a 7EE. Fits well, less than half an inch of heel slip and foot lines up with widest part of boot. Is the flex point behind the toe cap normal or should I go a half-size smaller to 6.5EE

If I'm wearing brown chukkas and blue jeans what color and length socks do I want?

>>13925100
not black, grey, or white.

>>13925106
Thanks.

>>13924525
black and brown don’t work most of the time imo

in my outfits I think of black and brown as equivalents that can be exchanged in a lot of cases but not seen together

>>13922812
I like it.

>moc toes
Is there anything worse? Disgusting

>>13909596
Where can I get chukka boots or similar with insulation/fur on the inside?

Please help

>>13925438
cheaney has some fur lined boots

>>13925032
it's normal. if they're comfortable just wear them and stop obsessing over sizing and the way they crease.

Is there any good military surplus boots?

bought these but they are quite hard to match pants with

>>13925430
Literally any of the gay looking styles. But it doesn't matter because Moc toes are not a fashion boot, its the equivalent of me posting my muddy work boots.

>>13925723
Effay as fuck. Nice pick up anon.

Are Jungles effy?

Looking for a pair of black logger boots, is Chippewa good? Any other brands you guys like?

Why is it so hard to find some roper style pull on work boots without both a brand logo stamped on them or a hideous oakley wraparounds looking sole

>>13926009
The quality on my Chippewa Apaches is fine, I think they're just about as good as it gets at that price point. They wear pretty chunky though, so I'd keep that in mind.

what should I wear with the austrian meme boots?

>>13925430
>>13925737

C&J, G&G, and Alden make moc toe boots that are pretty aesthetic and are not “workboots.” Regardless NSTs are the patrician’s choice over moc toes.

>>13926104
Ironically those look more like 'real' authentic moccasins than the standard moc toe boot, which are more designed like a modern homage slipper moccasin.

Still, it gets me when people call moc toe boots ugly because its a functional design. They weren't made to look good. I blame Red Wing for including them in their high end Heritage line, because they started the trend of expensive moc toe boots marketed as a fashion item when its plain to see that they're butt ugly. I work in a warehouse in moc toes because I've found that they're the most comfortable design for being on your feet all day.

>>13915473
don't buy, these are ridiculously uncomfortable and don't look nearly as nice in person

>>13911608
OwO whats this???

>>13919044
chad dad

anyone know what boots these are? Or ones similar looking?

Logger/service toe box + cuban heel in Chippewa price range.
Can you guys suggest anything like that?

>>13909596
where can I buy the austrian meme boots in the US? they are out of stock rn

>>13926140
What about them makes them more comfortable as a work boot?

has anyone tried the Vivo Barefoot Scotts?

I like how light they look, but I'm curious about longevity.

>can't buy thursdays boots in europe

why

>>13927114
We have more sense

>>13927032
they look terrible

>>13927114
buy loake instead

>>13927128
>>13927132

Where can I buy a boots that looks exactly like these in Europe?

>sleek
>same style
>waterproof
>same color
>goodyear welt

>>13927140
>waterproof

get a pair of wellingtons

>>13927142
I don't intend to go river-fishing, I just want that my foot stays dry in rain/snow

>>13927140
Look at Grenson, they do boots like that.

>>13927182
yeah, made of trash leather in india

>>13927140

closest you will get

>>13927188

I don't like how narrow they are at the end and the details on the captoe

>>13927140
almost all leather boots are or can be waterproof

there are plently of places in the uk to get boots like this, I’d imagine twice as many in most other euro countries

stop falling for shills on youtube and insta

>>13927192
stop whining

>>13927199
since when did having standards become whining?

>>13927140
There's also Bexley, but their qc leaves something to be desired so they say.

>>13927185
There's different levels though right? The more expensive ones are made in England.

>>13927242
yeah, the more expensive ones are, but at that point you might as well get cheaney on sale

I'm an autist who's only worn cheap shitty trainers all my life. I want to start wearing boots but don't yet understand the basics.

What are some do's and don't's with regard to brown boots? What about black boots? I'm just looking for general information like which colour trousers/jeans suit different colour boots; which boots lean slimmer that others; what kind of trouser fit (e.g. regular/slim/skinny) go with different boot types, etc.

>>13927268
Oh and I should probably also mention that I like the look of black chelseas like pic related. Thoughts? Are these a bad idea for a boot noob?

>>13927268
Stick to boots that are goodyear welted.

>>13909596
I just don't understand how people can think stuff like in OP's pic looks good

>>13927285
What don't you like about it and what kind of boots do you like?

>>13925942
you're around 2 years too late

>>13927293
I just think reddish brown leather boots look like shit in general, and I hate the secondary school teacher vibe it gives off especially when matches with dark denim like in that pic. It is just ugly.
I like derbies, combat boots, chelseas, cowboy boots etc. but it is just the stuff like chukka boots, boat shoes or most red wing shoes that I don't understand the appeal of and I don't think I have seen a single good fit with them where a different pair off boots wouldn't look better.

>>13927326
And since you don't like the aesthetics of OP's photo, you can't understand how anyone else can?

>>13927338
I can see the retardation of my first statement now, so let me rephrase - that is ugly as shit.

>>13927342
fair enough

>>13927284
That was one of the few tips I was aware of. What's the cheapest GYW shoes go for?

Also any other pointers?

>>13927383
I wouldn't personally buy anything cheaper than English made Loake, as leather quality really takes a nosedive after that. Cheaney makes a great quality boot for the money they charge.

Never get anything that has both a zipper and laces.

>>13926844
I personally have flat feet so they work better for me, but I think they're great for indoor oriented work where you still need a safety toe. I wouldn't want to work in the mud with them because they have no grip. I just find the flat crepe sole really comfy

What kind of boot is this?

>>13928278
a 404 boot in need of a new thread

>>13928278
>What kind of boot is this?
Derby boot

Looks like you standard Dr martens
