If you want the best inspo for work wear look to Japan, it is highly refined and they are more open minded to trying new leathers and hardware.

How could I forget the most intense artisanal line.

They aren't cheap, but given the history of Maurizio they are probably worth the price. Although, they do look flimsy.

Danner Postmans a better option than Solovairs

opinions on feit? seems kind of gimmicky, kind of cool

did From The First get much more expensive recently? I swear their boots used to be ~$200 cheaper

These are going for 50 + 80 bucks shipping, should I cop bros?

>>15525412
no, get some solovairs

Should I?

>>15525499
n it's a bit too stripey at the heel

>>15525072
reminder Guidi makes dogshit quality boots with good leather and never to buy them. they have not and can not make a zipper that doesnt fall off despite the insane retail

>>15525412
You're overpaying. Not worth it when you live outside of europe and have to pay for expensive shipping

>>15525513
Who else makes cheap back zip boots?

>>15525096
Where do I buy Danners postman in Europe ?

Should i buy Iron Rangers in charcoal or copper if my current wardrobe is basically skate-core? I'm afraid copper will "draw attention away from my upper region" like >>15524470 said. Even though copper looks prettier in pictures.

which one should I cop ?

Looks kinda cool but also quite fragile

>>15526148
Get the black for versatility, even though the astronaut is kinda basic. If I were you I'd consider getting the monkey boot in black. And I know you're on a budget and looking for that shine, but think about upgrading to the greasy leather solovair offers. It's fantastic quality. Full grain, will last a life time if cared for

Good English boots, specifically country and formal? Besides Loake and Trickers, give me some advice.

Are there any boots that look like boots but are actually comfortable to wear and walk in?

>>15528198
yes.
they're called boots.
you have to break them in to get them comfy.
same as with a gf.

What's a good basic pair of boots? I feel like I'm getting too old to wear sneakers everywhere, but I don't know anything about boots either

Any recommendations for GYW/high quality boots for women? Something a big more slimmer than the typical Red Wing stuff with a cuban heel would be nice. I have looked at something like a Justin packer boot, if only because you can score them really cheap from Ebay, and I'd love recommendations for a good black western boot that's without too much decorative stitching. I'm a size 8,5D in men's, 10D in women's.

About to choose one of those PNW companies for a custom fit pair of boots.
Nicks vs Whites?
Are they pretty much the same? Does Whites also send you a preliminary pair of try-on boots?
The Nicks boot pattern looks slightly more aesthetic to me, and I like the look of their 'chocolate' colored work leather.

Great idea retard too bad the austrians dont accept non citizens in their army

>>15530334
I like 796z more if you plan to just wear your pants over them, the longer shafts on 988z get annoying under slim pants

they are different sillouhette compared to tornados, seem like more of a western boot

Been waiting 10 weeks, 2 pairs of Westco customs on the way. Got a pair of standard boss with all black edges and brown horse hide boss in a western toe and brass hardware. Was a hefty price tag. Might sell my Guidi backzip.

Is this 2011 again

Looking for decent looking brown boots that will last me a while and can handle rain in EU for 250 euro or less

>>15530078
i like white's because I was able to try them on in person, and they have more of a legacy in forestry. they feel like more of a flex, and I like flexing on people.
quality wise they are pretty much indistinguishable; same methods, same materials, same location (spokane, washington), same everything.
white's doesn't send a try-on pair, but you can call/email them and send in some measurements and they will recommend a boot size. white's has THE BEST customer service out of any of the PNW boot companies, and will let you return the boot if it doesn't fit no problem. MOST people's feet are a normal sizing and don't require a custom last or fit unless you got a chunk blown off by an IED.

>>15530438
>wesco
of all the PNW logging boot companies, you go with the absolute worst quality/price/turnaround

Anyone got any recommendations for leather walking boots? I walk quite a bit and was thinking of ditching sneakers. My main concern was durability of the outsole. I go through my sneakers pretty fast.

ww2 u.s. jump boots, one of the best purchases of my life. If you can grab a vintage pair for cheap on ebay I suggest you jump on it. they're great! If you end up getting an authentic ww2 pair, you might have to do some heavy detailing when you get them. They'll be a little rough lol. They've been through war, literally.

anyone know any chelsea boots with a longer shaft height? I used to have a british maker bookmarked that had a model with additional shaft height for use with suits etc. This wasn't a fashion brand but a heritage maker and the site was dark green accented. The site just sold this brand. Pic related style but was 300-350 $ or so. cannot find it anymore

>>15530895
I can try them both, I’ll look at whites soon. Maybe replace my Guidi 975v with whites.

I don't like Whites road boots compared to the Wesco 'Boss'. You can tell that Whites puts other models on the spotlight, while Wesco is well known for their motorcycle boots. Whites does everything else better though.

I also had a $500 gift card at Wesco. I will probably try Whites 350 cruiser to replace my guidi lace boots. I just can't seem to find something with the last and sole I want.

Just wear docs you spergs.

>>15532178
You got any recommendations fren? I’m just worried about wearing down the outsole from everyday wear

>>15532189
Yeah, invest in something that can be resoled. All boots break in and feel comfy with wear. It's up to you suits your style, but be prepared to pay 250+ for something that can be resoled. Red Wings are probably a good start.

Corcoran jump boots

>>15532370
comme des garcons tartan trousers + whatever up top
any wool pants that aren't super slim, hopefully grey ones
if you have one of those 'japanese streetwear' style unstructured slouchy blazers now's the time to bring it out
any shiny material pants with a non-basic silhouette (nylon, waxed cotton etc)
Anything helmut lang

the trick is to ignore the fact that they're called "hiking" boots and just wear think of their silhouette and color when selecting things to wear with them

why?

>>15532699
compare with the old ebay ones

>>15532699
The literal only difference is that these are brand new and haven't been worn in and oiled. They're work boots they don't look like that out of the box.

>>15532704
dude compare the eyelets, the new model are unsightly little eyelets, all fucked up, ugly as fuck

>>15532709
Wierd nitpick but ok my dude, there's still a ton of the old ones on ebay.

Thinking about getting a pair of Guidi boots as a early christmas present. What are your guys experiences with the brand ?

>>15534022
Shit quality construction, need to be babied or they will fall apart at the seams

>>15534232
What would you recommend instead ? CCP or have you heard of Marsèll ?

>>15530222
I mean, sure, White's are cool. Great value. But show me a quality version of Thursday's jodhpur rogue design. Their design just beats everything, even if it's mediocre construction.

>>15534232
post a pair of ireparable guidi, most you need to do is keep them conditioned, vibram the leather soles, the zipper issues have long been fixed. They are great quality with some of the best leather made.

>>15534272
Marsell used Guidi leather, but their designs just don't do it for me. Their bots look like budget Guidi at the same price, their womens line is good.

M.A. +, Marsell and a few other artisan boot makers use Guidi Leather, MA lines (if you know you know) have all used Guidi leathers and aged them to their methods (burying them ect...).

CCP is legendary for his leather production and he uses his own leathers. You won't find leather like CCP on any other boots, although some try (A1923).

Cop or nah? I posted in cop or not but only got one reply, would appreciate more opinions.

i have worn expensive shit and trendy shit (too much disposable income) but i keep going back to docs just something comfy about them. they have been hard drivers for the past decade.

Just bought a pair of unused black craftsmenan RM Williams for 300 when rrp is 595
Feels fuckin good bros

Have another offer for lightly used craftsmen in chestnut for 200 should I get nother pair?

Unfortunately aus fag so I don't have much access to any other shoe without paying ridiculous shipping!

>>15536499
Too modern, sneaker-like cut for my taste. A good choice if your wardrobe leans more toward the casual than smart side I reckon.

>>15536951
These look more like $100 boots to me, too generic. Depends on what you want them for, but if you're not getting a boot with character, likely better off just going chelsea instead.

>>15536989
Leather lacing with rubber sole seems a little odd, would prefer a leather sole, but I suppose with autumn/winter around the corner it's not a bad thing.

They seem like beautiful, well-constructed boots.

>>15537006
RM's chestnut seems pretty dark, which is fairly difficult to pair. I think it only looks really good when polished to a high shine and worn with suits. So it depends on your wardrobe.

yeah rm's are a joke for the cost, legit go to somewhere like david jones and you may find a boot that you like more that costs under $600

couldn't get my hands easily on the paramemes so what do you guys think about the austrian KAZ-03? I can try them on for sizes irl which is why im interested about them.

>>15543357
Just got mine, I could be tripping balls but i think they suit my clown feet better (i'm an eu49 and honestly probs could've gotten the KAZ's in 50) as they're chunkier all round. Thinking they'll look nutty in the winter with heavy coats and baggier trousers than i'd wear with the standard paramemes, also they seem to fit wider than the standards which is good for wide foot bois too.

>>15543357
I have them for about a month and stopped going places by bus/bike cause it's so nice to walk in them

Are those Bates Lites? Those were notorious for falling apart back when I was in the USMC and were a huge meme.

Does anyone know these, i need them in a size 10/11

Thoughts?

>>15530217
Listen. You get what you pay for. They'll fit the bill and nobody will ever know. But the leather may not age all that well, and they probably won't hold up as well in the long run. I really wouldn't shit on anyone irl for it, but if you're spending that much already, just spend enough to get a pair from a reputable bootmaker that has a good track record. Or just keep an eye for sales. Redwing did some sales on iron rangers, chippewa can be had on sale all the time, and I'm sure wolverines pop up from time to time as far as your entry level stuff goes. Oak street bootmaker does black Friday deals. I got a pair from them and fucking love them.

Coming in the mail tomorrow

how are the vegan solovairs? if bad are there any good alternatives for vegan combat boots? i thought about getting austrian meme boots since they are used anyway but i dont really like the feel of buying used boot. also they arent really readily available rn and they are kinda tall for me

>>15547851
7/10 - i like the shape but they look a bit too shiny for me

>>15547389
I like them

>>15547487
I hope you wear jeans with a high elastane count for those sweet roundhouse kicks.

That's great and all, but you barely listed any.

Any good quality brands available in Denmark?

>>15526815
no

>>15547449
Wolverine 1k's routinely go down to $200 or so. A much better value than Thrusday even if they aren't top tier.

>>15548568
Yeah. They're not awful imho I would buy wolverines. But I would always buy red wings over Thursday. Especially since they offer the blacksmith now which is a nice looking boot. I wanna get a pair of moc toes eventually but I kind of wanna wait and grab some alden indys in cordovan. Decisions decisions.

Are suede boots bad idea into wet weather? Considering pic related.

>>15548669
Yes

Opinions on Marsell?
Also, there was a site that stocked Marsell and Guidi that also stocked a shit ton of other brands, and all the brand were on the left side of the screen. I forgot the name, but I think they still have sales now. Anybody know the site?

My bison Russell Moccasins I had custom made.

Going to order another pair probably with laces.
Just called and ordered a pair of slip-ons from them today with kangaroo and bullhide leather bottoms

>>15548751
probably going to get some like these.
Either that or some chukkas with a dark green leather

Do men even still buy docs anymore? I was looking on their website recently and it was almost totally devoted to women's fashion

I'm wondering the same thing. I have been considering getting some, but don't want to look like I'm trying to be a chick lol

>>15548752

What brand are these? I like them a lot

if the zipper breaks just email them and they'll replace it

how come?

Russell Moccasins

For a first foray into boots I thought Thursday boots would be decent, but considering everyone here laughs at everything that company does, could anyone provide an alternative?

I would be wearing once or twice a week, so it doesnt need to be bombproof quality but not falling apart after a few months wear would be nice, especially if its >£200 I'm paying.

Thank also brings me to my second point, I'm a bong so if you also happen to know of a UK or even Euro based company that has what I'm looking for I'd be grateful :)

pic related, the boots I was planning on getting

>find good looking boots
>side zipper

>>15548323
>make nice looking boots
>ruin them with a zipper
Fashion industry was a mistake.

Any experience with Blackstone? 220 bucks from outlet.

>>15549422
Grenson is a UK-based company I've made good experiences with across multiple pairs. They are kind of a gateway into the world of finer british shoemaking, and their designs tend to be dressier as such (like pic related), but they also have some more rugged models. You should be able to find a nice pair for around 200 in outlets, retailers or on sales.

That said, I have no experience with Thursday, they might not be awful - I'm sure they won't be falling apart after months, certainly.

>>15549395
Grain leather is sexy. Rare sight too.

Recently copped, thoughts?

>>15525072
can someone help me find the ID to the boots hes wearing here?

>>15549807
kind of flashy but a solid pick if you are that guy

>>15549533
checked, yes those look alright.

>>15547487
you need to beat the living shit out of those for them to look good, im talking gashes, scratches, creasing, no mud though, please no dirt though.

>>15546534
just tie the laces tight, that's what theyre there for

How are Cheaney in terms of durability?

>>15548669
Suede definitely, maybe rough out leather that is sometimes confused with former

in case any of you wondered if white's are puncture-proof
they are not

>>15550904
oh shit are you okay?

going down a slide and disturbed a wasp nest. they started stinging my head and i fell onto my machete, almost cut my toes off
had to walk 1 mile back to the truck and radio for help while blood was spraying out of the boot
very painful

ok so pls help
I got the martens talib back, and i know martens is shit but they were like 60 eu brand new so i was like fuck it.
Now i like how they look, but theyre a bit chonky i guess ? Anyway, whats the best way to make them work ? What sort of pants/ top combo would work ?

>>15551109
hope you feel better

>>15551252
thank you!
we have a safety meeting tomorrow to go over how we aren't allowed to carry sharp-tipped machetes anymore

>>15526302
I got a pair from a sample sale, really sturdy, great leather. Overpriced at retail imo.

>>15550904
How did you get hobnails/spikes in those? is that a specific offering of white's? I have 2 pairs of solovairs and i really want some fucking hobnailed boots.

>>15551361
white's loggers, their most expensive boot
they are called caulk boots, and the spikes are caulks
they are replacable when you wear them down, but i wouldnt wear them on anything besides dirt or fallen trees, as they are incredibly destructive to flooring/carpet and are uncomfortable to use on hard surfaces like rock or sidewalk

>>15551388
Fuck me sideways with a ten foot pole, those are expensive. And yeah, they look like they'd absolutely shred shit.

>>15551391
yeah caulks fuck things up
you can walk up fallen logs and shit pretty easily though, it makes climbing up cliffs possible too

Well, on the subject, does anyone know some /fa/ hobnailed boots that don't cost 500 dollars?
And aren't as severe of spikes as those admittedly nice loggers

>>15526964
Manlet

>>15548751
that leather looks buttery :O

what's some shia-core boots?

If you were gonna get White's MPs, what leather would you get them in? So many custom options from Baker's but I have no idea what some would look like.

>>15551838
CXL Horsehide or Veg Tan Calf

I want, no, NEED desert boots. Do I get Clarks?

More like Bootlicker general

>>15551814
Nike sfb, obviously

Whats the best boot for tucking the end of my dick into?

>>15551838
a brown waxed flesh. First, I think CXL work boots are a boot played out (this board would call it "onions"? I need to lurk moar). I also think waxed flesh just ages beautifully over time as they're beat to shit, and don't require much upkeep. If it's your first work boot and you want to play it safe you can go CXL tho.

>>15552157
Depends on how much you want to spend. Clarks, Astorflex, and J. Crew MacAlister boots are all around the same price but have slightly differently lasts and leathers (I like J Crew's the most). Obviously if you want something nicer you can check out Drake's, Alden, etc.

>>15548669
nuke it with pic related and you should be fine

>>15546415
Go to pediwear.com and search their chelseas? There should be some Loake models that are less than that.

>>15552223
>(this board would call it "onions"? I need to lurk moar)
Ironically the ones saying that are tourists who need to lurk more themselves.

yes or no?

They look kinda ridiculous but also strangely appealing

>>15528444
Clarks Desert Boots
Clarks Wallabee Boots
Surplus Combat Boots, check ebay
Solovairs - better doc martins
Roper boots - Maybe ariat

>>15552925
Look good, laces are interesting but not bad

>>15549953
probably just generic zip boots

>>15530061
hideous

>>15534022
do it, fav boots

>>15525072
I bought some doc marten dress shoes for work, will people laugh and call me a faggot if I wear them into an office?

>>15553050
no lol
but you'll know you're a faggot deep in your heart

>>15544221
ok

>>15553051
okay but I really have to let you know that the only reason I bought them was because they were on sale for 60 bucks, and my old office shoes are falling apart and made of vinyl.

>>15553063
Don't feel bad, but you should invest in some real grownup shoes, get some used allen edmunds off ebay and shine them

>>15553066
Wow these are all like 30 bucks, thanks for that tip anon, I have some mink oil I'll do this next pay check.

>>15553085
Good luck man, black cap toe oxfords pic related are probably the best move if your office is more dressy, they can also be worn with almost anything as long as its not shorts or white tie

>>15525072
what's a less cliched combat boot than the paratroopers? I like the half eyelet/half loop design but besides high end stuff like dries van noten I can't find a good example

id be willing to pay up to 300$

>>15552228
I dont want to spend a shit ton but would definitely want to spend somewhere in the realm of $100 or so just so im not buying complete shit. Would you say Clarks hold up well (the real ones not the fake Clarks on Amazon)? I like the MacAlisters but i've heard they don't last and are kind of uncomfortable. However when they go on sale it's too good to pass up imo

>>15553578
Clarks definitely do hold up well
I'd recommend also checking local thrift stores for boots, can sometimes score 200+ ones for like 10 bucks

i like these and think they are 'based'
