Boot Red Flags
>Dainite
>Non gusseted tongues

Anon this is getting ridiculous now.
I hate dainite but it is not a red flag

>>17490303
I guess they're not a red flag for office boots

>>17490303
Bros I just can’t do split toe or grain
I just can’t

Yo posters of this thread

You dont HAVE to wear raw denims with your boots you know

>>17490320
I own a pair of split toe derbies and I agree, it is a mistake.

MAYBE if the split was reverse stitched so it's almost invisible (yes there is actually a seam here).

I honestly think all derbies are a mistake.
You want something more casual than an oxford for the office?
Wear loafers, chukkas and chelseas. Forget all derbies.

>>17490320
>Bros I just can’t do split toe
same, too grandpa for me, u-tip is great though (you can ask carmina to ditch the split). Grain is amazing though.

>>17490322
>boots are too big to wear athletic fit trousers

I agree - big fan of it.

FUCKING SEXOOOOOO

Any recs for some casual brown boots?

Ankle boots with zipper, cuban heel and pointed toe under 200$?
Is it possible? Any suggestions?
I am fine with clarks lvl quality.
205w39nyc is good but they are 400$+ used. Its to much for me

Copped these for like 30 bucks from a coworker who said they were too tight for him

Made by some literally who czech brand, but I figured they were basically for free so whatever

Did i fuck up?

>>17490419
looks cool

>>17490419
>zipper
yes

>>17490320
>split toe
whenever I see split toe I think of vagina
can't shake the association'
therefore I haven't ever wanted a pair of them vaginashoes

I just dont like rubber soles. they just seem like bad taste

>>17490430
other than looking retarded is there anything wrong with zippers function/quality/fit etc. wise?

Leather soles are bad for most work applications unless you literally just travel from your office to the conference room

>>17490419
generic
but good for the price

>>17490436
aight, thanks
i dont really wear boots that much (only when its really cold and thats almost never here) so i dont see the need to spend hundreds on actually good ones

>>17490280
this looks so stupid holy shit

>>17490435
rubber outsoles

>>17490434
additional and unnecessary failure point that leaks

>>17490446
i see

>>17490375
selvedge denim cuffed with boots looks so tacky and lame

>>17490434
>>17490446
People bought cheap brands that use cheap zipper and complain.
FWIW, zipper with another form of closure (lace, strap) is retarded and women, but zipper alone on laceless plain boots makes a slim calf-hugging silhouette possible. You cannot get your boots to cling that close to your leg with any other forms of closure.

>But why?
Slim fit skinny leg cocaine type of look.

>>17490435
Cowboys work in leather sole.

>>17490435
Yes but they make that nice sound when you walk unlike that muffled loose-anus faggot's fart of a sound most non-leather soles make.
Also better boot silhouette.

>>17490435
None of my shoes have leather soles, but some of my shoes have split rubber soles (the waist is leather) and these are much more flexible and comfortable than shoes with all-rubber.

I suspect all leather soles must be very flexible and comfy once broken in, assuming you are walking on carpet and you are not fat because there really can't be any cushioning

>>17490419
Not bad bud, for the price. I'm sure they'll be good everyday boots, and you dont gotta worry
>1 pair of Bates Navy Steel toes I picked up like 5 years ago for work

not necessarily

>>17490375
yikes

I'm digging these boots, but they're irrationally priced and doubt that they'll hold up in the long run. Thoughts?

>>17490646
what are you planning to wear with those

>>17490654
a ninja cape

>>17490375
You don't need the meme jeans, and cuffing them is just another way to detect a manlet from afar, someone who buys pants that are too long for its kiddy legs
But those boots are damn good looking, but the lead time on a single pair is insane

I bruised my foot by wearing new boots for too long and have to take a break. I hate this.

>>17490685
i'm 6'2" and i have to cuff because most selvedge brands have 36" inseams which are way too long on anything under 6'6"

>>17490280
these things dropped again over at grant stone
got the email 10 minutes ago and my size is already sold out, both in d and e width

those who have grown out of their boot phase, where did you move on to?
i had a loafers phase and now i literally just wear canvas plimsolls every day

gs shell is borderline unobtanium. the honey glazed doesn't last an hour o think

>>17490724
someone out there is just buying up anything shell related

>>17490724
shell is truly the biggest market meme ever, even the $1200 viberg shell models are sold out within minutes.

>>17490732
i got out of the boot rabbithole.
Barefoot shoes and (barefoot) sandals probably for the rest of my life desu.

>>17490747
no joke, redditors buy up these shell preorders and scalp them in their buy/sell threads
saw someone quote $1,6k for shell vibergs over there
those threads are wild in general, people trying to flip factory seconds at regular retail prices, completely chewed up soles and scuffed uppers described as "only 5 wears"
shit is so blatantly scalping and trying to trick others out of money and the moderators don't care, but buddy, oh boy, if you say clown shoes to someone else your entire account is gone

>>17490280

>>17490885
zippers for sure

Can anyone ID these? I have reason to believe they’re Australian in style, but with a wider toe box and less chunky sole than Blundstones and similar brands. A traditional heel but I can’t tell if it’s welted or not.

Boots for this feel?

>>17491098
RMwilliams Craftsman boot in Tobacco.
You can tell it's at least $500 because the only seam is down the heel. Single piece of leather.
Anything cheaper would use multiple panels like Redback, or a one-piece rubber sole like Rossi.
Not that those brands are bad, just not making a $500 boot

>>17491098
too low res to know for sure but it doesn't look like there's a side seam

>>17491101

truly the only boot more jewish than these new-make paramemes are literal IDF surplus.

anyone own any of whites shoes? just their regular shoes. Are they worth shelling out for?

John Lofgren Iron Heart Chad. Don't listen to the miserable poors in this thread, you've got the right idea

>>17491116
Not a craftsman. Look at the bulbous, rounded toebox. Not a turnout either. Not even the tambo Xtrawides that are made for the brought-up-shoeless torres straight savages look like that.
Might be a gardener but even then the pic makes them out to be too broad and round in the toe.
There's been a slew of other Aussie bootmakers that have made workboots and every so often you get that one piece of leather that usually only denotes RM's. Might be some old model that was once offered by the likes of Baxter, Harold or even Rossi.
Puzzling because in this pic they really look like any given common redback/rossi/mongrel etc cept for the sole and lack of extra stitching.

>>17491165
Didn't he or some other retarded /k/ shop faggot get cucked by a vtuber ethot?

>>17490717
Most selvedge jeans nowadays are purposedly extra long because they are mesnt to be cuffed.
Years ago this place was all about selvedge/raw denim and cuffing.
Nothing but trendhoppers larping as contrarians.

>>17490885
zippers, pointy tips and gum soles
A boot with zippers is a cop ut and never looks good with the exception pointed by >>17490488
I despise pointy tips unless we're talking about cowboy boots. Shoes and boots that require 2 inches of empty space by design are very uncomfortable, and if you happen to have at least slightly big feet goid luck climbing up stairs.
Gum soles might have their place depending on use, but leave it to sneakers or sneaker-like shoes.

>>17491286
>Years ago this place was all about selvedge/raw denim and cuffing.
Post consistent generals going for more than 1 year.
You can't.
You cunt. Go back.

>>17491309
I don't care about raw denim nor selvedge but I remmember the daily threads. You guyas have very short memories. You're nothing but a flavor of the week trendhoppers posing as freethinkers. You know it, and that's what got you so riled up.

Does anyone sell skinny dress-like boots with rubber soles under $600?

I like Carmina's boots, but to get them in black means I need to spend almost $1000

Thoughts on Truman derbies? I'm in the market for a quality yet nondescript type of shoe for casual jeans and tshirt type outfits.

Bros I need a boot that can take like 10000 steps in a day from me.
I don't care too much about style and my budget is around $200
Can anyone help?

>>17491611
Helly Hansen. My dad wears them and he's been taking 15000 steps per day every single day for 2 years. Though he only wears them from October to March.

I bought these from Skolyx for 14€
It's like a half sole with cushioning in the heel and a bit of arch support.

I put them in my Vibergs which needed a bit of help with cushioning due to Dain*te
It's definitely better in the heel but I am not used to having something touching my arches all the time. I don't know if I like that yet.

I buy a new pair of Danner mountain lights every year because I like the way they look only moderately used

Are these timberlands worth 90 bucks? It's winter outside, it's wet and cold

https://www.timberland.com/shop/mens-rime-ridge-waterproof-boots-brown-tan-2402r231

>>17491692
>Are these timberlands worth
no

>>17491692
Yes, they are. Don't listen to these dorks who make buying decisions on the basis of resoling the same pair of boots in the next 20 years. I've never had Timberlands (or any common mall brand) fall apart or wear out or anything. They are comfortable and they'll last you for years.

>That is fine, just a little bit of stitching that didn't make it into the welt or came loose, as you can see the rest is seated correctly so two loose threads can be clipped no problem.

>It would end up like that in a week anyway, snip it

>>17491730
>>>It would end up like that in a week anyway, snip it
whew.. so the the welt stitching on turdays come loose within a week? I thought they provided the same quality the other brands charge $500 for.

>>17491692
no
but as you say it's wet and cold
and it's better to be booted than bootless in such weather

>>17491729
>I've never had Timberlands (or any common mall brand) fall apart or wear out or anything. They are comfortable and they'll last you for years.
you are not actually wearing timberlands to the office.. right? Because i can't imagine you're working outside on if they don't fall apart within less than a year.

>>17491679
if I knew you IRL I would. I just give them to whoever I know who wants for like $20 or $30

>>17491744
I wear my Timberlands everywhere during the winter months. I bought them 2 years ago.
And Timberlands are not special, I don't think I've ever had shoes which actually fell apart. They just become worn out gradually and I buy a new pair when I don't like how the old ones look.

I found a pair of my deceased grandfathers RM William boots from about 20 or more years ago, they’re a bit big on me but I think I could wear them with thick socks. The elastic is ruined though and needs replacing. Do you guys think it would be worth taking them in to get the elastic replaced? I don’t have the money to buy a brand new pair btw (uni student).

>>17492325
rm williams should be able to put elastic gores on them, assuming the condition of the uppers to be acceptable

>>17492325
>The elastic is ruined though and needs replacing. Do you guys think it would be worth taking them in to get the elastic replaced?
easy job for a competent c*bler

>>17492326
Would they still do that with boots this old? I think they are in good condition, but they’ve been sitting in the corner of a musty old house for about 14 years, I’ll have to check them again.

>>17491465
>beatle boot for an American man
No.

>>17492330

*not sure

Should I? They're $300 right now. I don't know dick about White's Derbys and the MP last but I do know that I would like something a little dress-y. I know the MP last doesn't have the arch Whites are known for or the heel lift.

>>17492342
uppers refer to the upper section of the boot, so say if the leather is cracked from neglect of 14 years they can refuse repairs

>>17492350
do it and be the first to report about it

biggest complaint is that I could get Yanko's derby boots for $30 less minus shipping and customs (which actually may make it more expensive by a bit) so these better be the best derby shoes ever

>>17492377

>>17492386
>Measured my foot before I ordered, I could almost go a full size down
BREH
honestly the main thing is arch length- width- size
branock doesn't mean shit unless it corresponds with arch length
get your arch length and size. that all you really need

>>17492389
That's a good point, but their fitting guide doesn't mention arch length for their lasts. I just went with length/width

>>17492393
>but their fitting guide doesn't mention arch length
honestly fuck fitting guides
your ball needs to sit in the ball and your toes need not be squeezed. the sizing bullshit with companies is all arch length
get the arch length correct
get the width correct
downsize the width one letter if the arch is more than or equal a size under the brannock

>>17492386
the thing is even tho its one of the lesser arches offerings, it will still be a ton more arch than anything else on the market, and the arch support will reduce your overall length a little

>>17492398
>>17492397
Ah, great points. I'll see how they feel when I get them.

Brett is compulsive and kept going back fiddling with the 2030. It used to be real E, to now around D and E.

Someone please tell him Service boots are not actual dress boots no matter how he slims it down or increase the meme SPI.

Carmina offers CXL as an option but is their CXL as thick as American bootmakers use or is it a thin piece like dress shoes and boots?

I know CXL has a tendency to crease like shit and I have a pair of Vibergs in brown CXL that seem to have won the creasing lottery, but the leather is thick too.

Basically I love the look of my Vibergs but I hate the fit, I was wondering if I can get a brown CXL Carmina and sell the Vibergs

>>17490280
everytime I look up cream low-top boots i find these docs. I know docs are terrible quality, does anyone know of any alternatives?

>>17493043
don't fall for youtube cobbler propaganda
no shoes will fall apart on you
low quality means you'll have to replace them in 2 years instead of 4
depending on what they cost and money you're making, it could be an issue or it could be literally more expensive for you to think about that than to just buy "low quality" shoes you like

>>17493043
buy the docs

>>17493046
dont. its just low to wear shitty boots

i cringe everytime i see guy wearing docs

>>17493061
it's low to wear brown boots if you want to wear say cream colored boots
I mean brown boots are as npc as you get, but especially for someone who actually wants a different color

>>17493070
how does cringing benefit you?

every person around me with bad fashion taste makes my own fashion taste look better
you should revel in their bad decisions

alden dirty bucks

Wtf is the fuss with these things and the modern knockoff dr.soles?
I search for an answer and all I find are bearded ledditsoi types creaming themselves over finding them NOS or having modern copies put on their boots. What's the deal?
What do the white nub things do? Anything? Is that the "cat's paw" part? Like the squishy pink parts on actual cats' feet?
Someone explain this bullshit!

>>17493159
same way /tip/ obsesses over 3-roll-2 jackets, instead of just buying two-button jackets.

It proves that you're "in"

>>17493043
These colors only ever look good in close ups, they never work as part of an outfit.

The only reason you like them is because Instagram has poisoned your mind.

>>17493199
wearing brown boots is npcmaxxing

>>17493201
this but black docs

>>17493199
I rate this as half-true.
They work as part of a fit, but only if you're in the tropics or a romance country. But to make it work you have to be good looking enough to wear a shirt with two buttons undone (image not related)

So yes, instagram has poisoned your mind, but they aren't wrong in some cases
>>17493201
stop forcing this. You are literally one nobody.

>>17493201
If you were to shop for a pair of shoes in a store, you might go because you need something to go with certain outfits, which you wear to go to certain places and occasions.

Now it's about the objects themselves, disconnected from the experience. you see this when ppl post pics of their watches or shoes, cropped so it's basically like a product shot, disconnected from the outfit.

Discussions are also no longer about the purpose these objects serve (hiking, going to the office, etc), but just grabbing attention, hence the flashy colours.

>>17493043
tricker's are the only ones i can imagine doing ugly leather like that.

>>17493159
Supposedly very slip resistant. Basically they are a vestige of a long gone era of North American quality shoes and shoes parts manufacturing.

>>17493159
the white nubs are made of a softer rubber compound that extrude as you apply pressure to the heel (its mostly a gimmick)

>>17492273
corcorans. shit.

>>17493159
whats the appeal of dr.soles? Are they actually a good rubber compound? Why would anyone use them over Vibram soles for example?

>>17493201
this line of thought is niggerbrainmaxxing

>>17493073
Colored boots are often fucking ugly and low quality. There’s a reason every boot is some variation of brown or black.
Whats even worse is that the vast majority of the retards who buy these and can’t pull off a good look in them either.

>>17493159
it's just for hardcore repro autists and vintage larpers
i can not imagine why you would add decades old rubber on anything and expect it to perform or at least not disintegrate immidiately

>>17493379
the appeal of dr. soles is that they use retro inspired molds and add shredded up cord mixed into the rubber compound
i guess you would want that as a repro larper, because that's what the US army did for their combat boots during WWII for no other reason than it being a material saving measure, because rubber was in high demand for the war effort, they used shredded up hemp cord as a filler
it looks absolutely hideous, but supposedly adds better grip
they also have the same thing but with cork instead of cord filler

why is leather conditioner stripping off the dye?

>>17493379
Vibram is too available so you don't get fashion cred for wearing it.

>>17493587
>dye
Paint.

With the excuse that "more expensive luxury fashion bands do it, so why can't my affordable fashion brand do it???"
Because it's shit either way and will rub off. It isn't authentic leather tanning techniques.

I'd rather have Seidel than this shit.

>>17493624
correct. turdsdays paint their boots so that it gives the impression of patina'ing without actually putting work into them

i bet he's the kind of faggot that would show up to a funeral it these

also mismatched sizes are almost always a mistake, unless one of your feet got mangled in an accident and you actually need it
if you've been wearing shoes of matching sizes all your life and you've been fine, your feet are not half a size apart no matter what some sales guy says based on crayon outlines of your diabetic club feet
if you put more of your unhealthy body weight on one side yes one of your feet will appear larger
and still any sane person would actually go 9E/9EE and not 8,5EE/9EE

In a blue collar town, that would be perfectly acceptable, assuming these are his good boots.

If you're timbs have survived long enough that they're sunbleached, don't try to "fix" it. Be proud of it. You've got the salty cammies of the cheap workboot world.

>>17494027
good. grant stone makes an amazing product for good prices with great customer service
i don't feel bad at all that brands like alden that have been riding off their name while overcharging for inferior materials or a brand like allen edmonds that doesn't even make anything worth buying at all anyone are going to fail
grant stone is simply better made with better materials at better prices. only thing you have to get over is made in china which at this point has been well established to not matter

it's just so out of character to see a post like that from him. i've been following him since the beginning and that post was like a straight up commercial, like he was reading a teleprompter
talking about "muh reach" "muh SEO" and how he's the first result so he recommends thursday

Can you guys link some boots in the style of the Chippewa Easy Riders? Everything I can find looks overpriced and not actually mean for riding.

Kommando store for brand new ones.
If you are in Europe you can probably still find surplus.

thursdays are are one giant marketing gimmick and are not even worth it if you want something cheap
thursdays whole deal is appealing to the entry level retard who watches stridewise and company and all they want is CHEAPEST GYW BOOT
but what is the point in getting a GYW boot?
practically noone resoles them, because it's not worth it and they fall apart before they even get to a resole
thursday cuts corners on everything just to make them GYW for under $200 and still make profit
>resoling costs almost as much as getting a new pair
>the footbed is synthetic and is going to crack and disintegrate before anything else
>rewelting and changing the footsbed will cost you significantly more than a new boot
>what are you a saving with a resole? cheap mystery meat upholstery leather uppers
>absolutely horrible QC
it is a wear for a year (2 max) and toss them boot, like everything at the mall, which actually works out cheaper
the fact that you can get grant stone for a bit more money makes people shilling these almost a crime

>>17494059
He is not wrong if you think about it.
Retards who only wear things in a fast fashion manner only cares so much. He gave them what they want.

>>17494322

Do you wear the same size in the Rossi's as you do the RM's?

>>17494389
Yes same AU size which is one size lower than your US size.

So if you're a size 10US, you get a 9AU/UK in Rossi and RM Williams.

>>17494252
Tbh I never understood the dress boot style boots or what situation you would wear them. I always feel the same style but as a regular shoe form would have been better

>>17494396
I'm travelling to oz soon and want want some casual comfortable work boots. Craftsman pinch my toes these days. That broad workboot toe looks to be more to my comfort.

>>17494020
Ok, and? This is /fa/, not /wearingthingsforaslongaspossible/
I'd rather have boots I like last me for 6 months than wear some ugly ass brown Whites for 20 years.

>>17494417
>casual comfortable work boots

If it matters to you, Rossi isn't made in Aus anymore (mine are) and they're probably my favourite shape to wear casually so I've downgraded mine to casual use

For my actual work boots I wear Redbacks now which I would say are even more comfy. The top ones are the steel cap (bobcat) and has like a more symmetrical cut at the front that makes it look more bulky and bulbous.

The bottoms aren't steel toe but they are cut more sleeker on the top similar to the Rossi where it's like a V cut at the front of he foot. I personally think these would look better worn casually if you don't need steel toe but both are great to stand and walk in for long periods

Sizing is the same, get your AU/UK size which is one size smaller than your US size

>>17494440
>>17494417

Forgot to mention, the top model is called Bobcat, the bottom one is Nevada

>>17494066
the biggest tell is that they're pegged at $200 despite other brands moving up around $100 in the past 3 years. you cant tell me they didnt even move $20 unless the margins were ridiculous

>>17494330
exactly, GYW is useless on cheap dogshit boots like tursdays. Assuming the footbed and uppers survive longer than the outsole, you will still pay a skilled cobbler probably a similar price you paid for the boots in the first place. What do you get for it? Saving some shitty uppers lasted on a potato. Honestly you're better off with Yanko/Skolyx, Parkhurst, Grant Stone or best, find a really good deal on tricker's outlet on sale.

Smooth leather in the woods? Does White's use some super leather that's immune to scratches or is the idea that he wants the boots all scratched up because that looks rustic?

>>17494830
*can you explain your opinion

>>17494830
because majority of people who wear boots in the office are women

>>17494057
how´s sizing on that last? i´ve read online that is pretty narrow so you´d have to size up a full uk size, is that true?

I have two American shoes (Viberg and Alden) and they both have this cushy pillow on the heel, none of my other shoes have such a thing

I'm glad we annexed Canada, but am sad to learn that we gained another boot maker who uses fo*m in their product.

>>17494991
some makers use a foam filled sock liner while some just use a bit of leather

>>17494830
I think it compliments the suit you wear in an office setting. Dress boots can work too but I think you will need to dress a bit more casual to pull it off. I think that they feel more suited to going out on the town better.

>>17494252
I love the bergs at the end, what model are they?

>>17494701
>suede

Suede is the patrician's kickabout leather.

>>17494991
The berg one is a porous leather, can confirm.
It'll still collapse like foam but at least it'll be durable foam.

Hey boot thread, not boots but Thursday started selling these waxed canvas coats. It's Thursday so I am sure these coats are available elsewhere in higher quality for just a little bit more. Any ideas where?

>>17492146
How are semi-dresses compared to this? I want cruisers but I can't justify ANOTHER 6 inch boot.

>>17495269
i find the 4811 last (cruisers) to be slightly looser in the toe box both width and vertical clearance but snugger in the waist and heel, great if you're doing a lot of outdoor hiking/slope work, also higher arch than the semi dress

>>17495281
Thanks anon. I appreciate it.
Toe box is my main concern so I may have to make an exception when it comes time

>>17495243
It was only a matter of time before Turdsday decided to hop on the trend.
Rogue Territory for a modern style and fit. I own one and it's amazing. It's the one James Bond wore in the NTTD trailer so it got really popular but it's worth every penny
Flint and Tinder makes a very good one that is blowing up right now as well because apparently the main guy from The Last of Us wears one
I would go with either of those two but Freenote Cloth makes a very nice one but it's more expensive and the style is more Western. The guy from Yellowstone wears one

>>17495328
yuck RW875s or bust

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

>>17495353
I own two dogs and two cats, and this is my rogue territory waxed canvas jacket straight out of the closet. Nothing sticks to it after the first couple weeks as the wax moves around and rubs off and breaks in
If you're worried about lint it's not a big deal. Only at the very beginning when the wax still has that wet sticky feel

>>17495359
Nice jacket, is that >>17495350 ?

>>17495354
Yeah the F&T is one of the most popular ones and with it being worn in a popular show right now of course Turdsday is trying to get in on it
