any good wedge-soled chelsea boots in the uk?

do you have to be skinny to wear chelseas

>>17250782
Yes
There’s no excuse to not be low bodyfat, anyways

>>17250782
No, but you have to wear proper and slightly wider trousers. If you are fat you sadly can‘t go for the full sexcore look

>>17250782
no but it helps
chelseas, jodhpurs and harness boots fit the skelly aesthetic
heritage boots, service boots, engineers are for beefy bearish dudes
all yeehaws are for musclemen

no other body types are allowed to wear boots

do you think the sole edge is too lightly colored for this suede derby?

>>17251092
no its fine

>>17251092
it will darken with time.

>>17251103
more likely to lighten with time since its usually a water soluble dressing on the sole edge

>>17251106
It's leather. you should be oiling or waxing it occasionally.

>>17251109
Dunno about oiling your soles

>>17251219

pack it up bros. anon isnt sure about conditioners. we've all been doing it wrong for centuries

how do i find boots like these? do they just count as combat boots or is there more to it that i am missing because ive been struggling for months now

>>17251305
kek, didnt notice it has 2
i dont really care for the zippers i guess its convenient, i really just want the leather to look like that. will my boots just look like that if i wear them and they turn that way or is it a certain type of leather i want to look out for?

>>17251295
That‘s whats so frustrating. If they never existed, fine. But they literally have a design that would make them a shit ton of money at no additional effort. But red wing would rather go bankrupt than sell you the shoes you want

>>17251308
Looks like roughout leather, ie the inside of the hide. Most combat boots I see are in regular black leather but you can probably find some white‘s in roughout

>>17251317
thank you very much anon that really seems to be it

are solovair really that bad? are there any boots with a similair design that are considered good quality? i've looked into corcoran and the austrian paramemes but they're obviously jump boots and i've seen some say that their build quality is shit too

>>17251299
if you're in europe, you can probably find something similar to that on zalando or asos, lot of chink fashion designs like that

>>17251365
Nothing wrong with them, i own 2 pair of solovair boots no defect.

>>17251219
Literally the first thing you should do when getting a pair of boots with leather soles is to condition them, dumb ass.

Was looking at some Wolverine cap-toe boots but need help with the sizing. I wear a 10.5 in Nike Pegasus, 9.5 in Kenton cap-toe boots from J-Crew and then somehow an 8.5 (wide) in Clarks Bushacre Chukkas. Shit is all over the place. Safe to say the Wolverines mirror the Kentons in sizing?

This feels nice to hear. I just ordered 2 pairs (will return the one I like the least) but they're not available in my country so I need to go through the trouble of buying and returning. I'm really hoping for a high quality nice looking boot

If your boots don’t look like this, you’re a poser.

>>17253118
Better if you tie your laces tighter
Better if the leather softens to wrap your heel better

Sometimes it's just fucked though

On my Carminas (celastic heel), the heel slip never went away.
On my TLBs (leather heel), the heel slip went away but these were always a very good fit from the start. It was never as bad as the Carminas.

>>17253118
highly dependent. Straight up and down backs on boots are never a good idea. there's a reason why whites fits so well, the shape actually matches your achilles heel

>>17253500
the beckmans were priced higher and was more of the "luxury" line of red wings because of the "premium" featherstone leather and leather lining instead of the fabric used on the iron rangers and blacksmiths

its a weird product

I just thought it was funny.

Is there a single piece construction leather boot that has a zero drop sole, but a goodyear welt (or similar) in a relatively thin and flexible leather?

Im basically looking for a modern day moccasin that has barefoot shoe principles but isn't so goofy looking that it cant be employed the same way your average leather heritage boot is.

And I say thin leather because my feet are strange and do better without having some agonizing break in period.

>le instant comfort

Trickers have wood shank, people work with shovel, climb ladders and they don't break.

Do you know before switching to DMS, British military boots all have wood shank?

>>17254009
w2c

>>17254100
Wesco Mr. Lou in natural hormeme

>>17254083
if wood shanks are so good why did they switch to non wood shanks? checkmate

>>17254083
Shanks don't often break because they're layered in between layers of leather, thus spreading out the pressure on the area. If a shank had no proper layers to mitigate pressure, it would snap.
>>17254120
Steel lasts longer, and can be used in thinner layers without worry of breaking. However, having shanks by themselves, without any layers of leather or rubber to mitigate pressure will result in it snapping.

not sure if this has been discussed here, but i thought this was major news in the boot world when i read it a few days ago: apparenlty whites has stopped using steel shanks in some of their models? some ppl on reditt were saying that they held magnets to the bottom of their boots recently and got no reaction. maybe theyve moved to fiberglass shanks in some models to cut costs? what a shame.

>>17254151
They made a mistake with trying to go GYW for the cheaper audience and the shank is an issue for the perry boot. but anyone buying the cheaper line are kidding themselves

>>17254151
White's never used steel shanks you fucking drooling retard

>>17254158
they did for the GYW perry moc toes

>composite shank
the perry is still a really good price/quality ratio especially with the RW875 climbing up to 380-400

not one of those things is contradictory retard. its a zero drop leather boot made of one piece that doesnt look goofy as fuck. get it?

>>17253822
do you think that people can go around wearing those ridiculous things in the same way someone can wear Redwings?

GOD I'm so glad it's boot season again and I can stop wearing these floppy boat shoes.
If I wanted to feel nothing but cork and rubber underfoot, I'd wear fucking Iron Rangers.

>>17254120
>>17254143

So you said it yourself that it doesn't matter in practical use.

The matter of shank material is mostly tradition and heel height. Don't be an autist about shank, jeez. Makers who use wood continued to use wood. Those who never did, never do. No one switched. Check mate tard.

Been thinking about getting these, what do you think?

>>17254250

No cork and insole is removable, so I don't get what your issue is exactly. When I say my other pair is extremely comfy, I mean that for the first two weeks I wore them they were so uncomfortable I almost sent them back. After they broke in, smooth sailing. I tried some Iron Rangers at the Red Wing shop near me, and they are too narrow at the toe box and even the wide sizes don't seem to fit very well.

>>17255289
>I don't get what your issue is exactly
he saying it should just be a straight veg tan insole no insert. it seems like a small detail but once you've experienced it you dont really want to go back. its firm and cushioning at the same time and molds to your foot. rubbers and foams dont behave the same and depending on the material it can compress by midday at which point you have no cushioning
it's a small detail but everything here is small details

they look like ok boots and if you know your size already and find them comfy then you'll be fine. it's just that there are better ways to do it and we like shitting on anything not done the best way

Driving a 20+ year old, 6" long roofing fastener covered in God knows what through the bottom of your foot sounds worse. I literally almost did that the other day while walking around a roof we are tearing off. Made it all the way through my shoe and 1/4" into my foot. If I would have stepped all the way down, it would have been bad. Went shopping for proper boots that day.

Should boots always feel like they look too long like clown shoes?
I have small feet and some Clark desert boots look perfectly sized on my feet.
My grant stone boots seem to fit, but they’re approximately 1/4 inch longer and it makes a world of difference in making my feet feel disproportionately long.
If I bought boots that were the same length as my cdbs, is it likely they’d fit or is that unreliable?

>>17255599
as someone who has bought cheap and expensive i wish i jumped straight to buying whites instead of wasting time and money on shittier brands

Unless you fight fire or log you will inevitably come off as a small diameter wrist bitch. Can’t even be pulled off as /fa/ because anyone who actually works in them will accost you.

>Unless you fight fire or log you will inevitably come off as a small diameter wrist bitch.
Is this just White's or the whole style including the Nicks, Wesco etc?

>>17255895
theres nothing restorative about stapling the old shaft onto a new boot
thats dumb

>>17255903
that's the beauty of a quality boot, wear out the lower? sew a new one in. wear out the upper? sew a new one in

now it's a question of where the shank is located on the Perry.
At launch, the steel shank was suspended in the middle of the slab of crepe sole, but I think it was updated (while it was still steel) to be at the midsole level.

Where is it now????

>>17255907
have you never heard of the mop that has had multiple head and handle replacements but is "still the same mop"?
the boots havent been restored. they just tacked on crusty leather to a new boot

>>17255942
anon no one knows what mop you're talking about.
your argument seems to be based on the ancient Ship of Theseus problem, where Theseus' ship has sailed around the world for many years and has had each individual part of it damaged and replaced at some point in time. After all of these repairs, is it still the same ship?
However unlike your mop, the problem isn't meant to have a definitive answer. It's meant to examine your preconceptions and their consequences.

>>17255980
>anon no one knows what mop you're talking about.
MAYBE BECUSE YOU KEEP SWAPING BITS AND CHATTING SHIT ABOUT IT BEING THE SAME MOP. NOBODY KNOWS WHAT MOP IT IS ANYMORE

paramemes are great

>>17255904
Why do people treat this kind of “rebuild” like magic? You can do this to almost any kind of boots. Literally just reusing one part of the upper and essentially making the boots again.

>>17255599
Dont listen to the autists in this thread who never walked more than a mile with their clown heavy leather logger boots. Get good technical goretex hiking boots. There are severale made in eu or usa. I have a pair of lowa zephyr gtx mid that lasted me forever, paid 180 eur and after 10+ years I still use them and I literally never did any maintenance despite putting them through everything. Extremely stable, light and comfortable

I really like hiker style boots like fracap, danner and these

anybody know where I can get paramemes in Germany? Or at least the manufacturer, so I can search for something else than paramemes.
Should be pretty easy to get them in Germany, given the proximity to Austria and all, but I'm just too retarded I guess. Only thing I can find are the Brandit boots, and they are not it.

We went over this last year, get the steinkogler feldschuh leicht, that’s the real
Austrian paratrooper boots

Check out what just arrived from China

Anyone know where to cop boots like this

>20 eye/tall/knee high
>Aren't the edgiest thing you've laid eyes on (ie. No spikes, no useless belts, no useless zippers/no zippers at all, not 5 inch tall platform boots)
>Preferably but not required, aren't black or some neon color
>Won't fall apart in a month or after 1 year

Right now Ive only found women's doc martins 1b60 and men's solovair 20 eye, which I'll buy one of if I can't find something of similar quality in a different color (they're both black)
But ideally if solovair had a 20 eye/knee high version of their oxblood 14 eye (https://us.nps-solovair.com/collections/mens/products/gf14-1140-ox)), I would buy those.

>>17256873
the probably means old as shit stock just to say they offer JR. whether fuck would they do a leather half sole?

>>17256875
this is just a fucking mess. jesus

>>17256906
they built it wrong with a standard leather sole, then sanded it down, slapped the JR sole on top and then stitched it instead of taking the whole sole off and replacing it with the JR

>>17256910
oh my god
so much for the we spend all our time and money making quality boots. they gyped my man hard

>>17256915
people are fools if they believe a company that offers a 3 for 2 deal as a quality company. also they don't do refunds so i guess the fool and his gold are soon parted

Where do you guys buy sneakers that are properly made and do not fall apart?
I am asking here since you guys know about good shoes

Also I have never seen an oxford sneaker before

lol. RIP jd. with thier dogshit website losing stridewises endorsement will hurt them

>>17254919
id ; w2c ?

what the fuck is that

>>17257130
instead of undoing the goodyearwelt they sanded down the original sole, slapped the JR sole on and called it a day

>>17255389
Whatever you do don't listen to this >>17255412 faggot, no one that actually puts serious miles hiking actually wears tranny heel boots. Even nicks have posts coping where the only thing they can come with is durability when comparing their boots with modern hiking boots. Which at 4x the price isn't saying much.
Also if you're facing wet weather you want something breathable that gets dry quickly so trails runners with gaiters is your best bet manigga.
t. 35mile hiking days /out/ist.

>>17257133
These are brand new shoes according to R*ddit

>>17257151
>parachute firefighters don't put serious miles hiking

only a dumbass would use those boots for actual hiking. The heel is too steep to provide comfortable walking.

Post the ones you own then with a timestamp.

Can anyone help me out IDing these Dr Martens i found at the 2nd hand strore?

These are the first ones ive found that have the ""Made in England" letterin g on the sole, are these vintage 1460 boots from the 90s or just newely produced? the label is completely faded i cant see the model or even the size

>>17257553
vintage

>>17254483
what are those? care to post a link?

>>17257563
They're Taft Jack Boots with Zara pants.

are you legitimately retarded?
why troll a boot thread on 4chan of all places?

angela wyatts, jiaofu navs. (I've heard people have had all sorts of probs with jiaofu so I'm not sure if I'd recommend him, angela's great though).

I'm looking for two pairs of new boots.

First pair is standard everyday boot, brown or black, full leather, smooth, suede, tumbled, anything that goes, bonus for Vibram sole.
Nothing special, just your everyday lace up boot for jeans and such.

Second may sound retarded but can I wear somewhat more classy boots with a suit? Maybe black smooth calf leather?
If this isn't a total no go I need a suitable boot for mid/dark grey/blue suits, an allrounder for cold day/region business trips.

Budget doesn't matter but problem is EU/Germany as location so preferred nothing I have to import myself and can't return in case I have to.
Only manufacturer I know that seems a decent option is Velasca, anyone got experience with them?
I'd like to buy local brands like Lowa but they have moved away from leather lining and only over ogretex plastic bags now...
Any tips really appreciated. I don't want to buy garbage chinkshit with dogleather from Nike or whatever.

I fell for the put-your-boots-in-the-washing-machine meme. Is there anyway to fix them?

>>17257990
pics or it didn't happen

>>17257718
Troll what homo? I gave legitimate recommendation based on personal experience, everyone that puts lots of miles /out/ wears trail runners not some larper boots

>>17257995
They are dry now. The soles just came off, though

>you cant beat cemented hikers bro ibe had them for 50 years with no failure

>>17258089
Don't get mad when you get called out by multiple people for telling some anon who wants to go hiking to buy a pair of 600 dollars clown boots. They look like shit and perform like shit. You'll never find people on alpine trails wearing those retarded boots. You'll find only goretex or leather hiking boots, because they're the best for the job. But then again there's no hope to reason with retarded clown shills

>>17257947
Shoepassion is a german brand with made in spain boots, you could start from there.

>>17258203
>You'll never find people on alpine trails wearing those retarded boots
first men to climb Everest wore proper boots
rich yuppies that walk up a cold prepped trail for 200k wear goretex

>>17258224
That's a retarded and dishonest argument. And just so you know, since you mentioned the first men climbing Everest, Edmund Hillary used alpine-style hiking boots, not tranny heeled clown boots.
