give me lightweight boots that are made for walking all day and such. whites preferred

Yanko now has cheaper boots in stitchdown construction

It's cheap because stitchdown is obviously an inferior construction method

It's meant to be flexible and stuff

Need work boots available in Australia. Recommendations?

>>17524006
Good price, do they make an unlined version?

>>17524001
what boots are these?

>>17524106
looks like a mp in a stead colab leather

Does anyone know a good brand of boots with leather soles? The boots I buy now are +/- €200,-, but I suppose I'll have to invest a bit more for shoes that don't get lose.
I've been walking on boots for some time now, but something what always happens with the shoes I wear is that the sides (where your ball is) get loose very quickly, since my toes are crooked. I'm nearly on the edge of buying barefoot shoes because of this.

>>17524434
Why would leather soles help?

>>17524437
I suppose it's more flexible than rubber.
Got this information from a shoe carpenter, but I'm not sure how reliable he is. Never went to this guy before and have just fixed my current boots over there.
If you've got any suggestion you can always write it down.

>>17524439
Does the sole separate from the shoe is what you mean?

>>17524434
grant stone

>>17524006
yep vibergs BTFO

>>17524434
>with the shoes I wear is that the sides (where your ball is) get loose very quickly, since my toes are crooked
can you explain that? are your soles delaminating at the ball? pics?

>>17524447
I don't think it's the sole itself, but the welt (if I'm correct). The piece that's between the shoe and sole where you can see the "rope". I would need to be a native English speaker to know the correct words for these

>>17524481
This is what I mean. Happens with all my shoes because of my fucked feet.

Just copped these. What am I in for? Hopefully this grainy texture won't be visible from afar.
https://cavour.co/en/product/7906/field-boot-utah

>>17524498
ah ok i see. it is possible that the super thick rubber lugs flexes less than the rest of the shoe causing delamination. best bet is to go with a manufacturer that does a double row stitch like white's, wesco, viberg, more PNW work oriented boots

>>17524498
Does the stitching go through the rubber sole in those or is the rubber sole just glued on?

>>17524505
It's a curious mix of formal and informal, but because it's black I think it will work out anyway

Decent price

>>17524508
good restoration, hate the color.

Black chelseas - what if I were to use Carmina MTO to order them in black CXL instead of black boxcalf?
CXL looks less shiny and formal than boxcalf, so maybe more versatile and less gay (I am gay but I don't want to shout it)

Is this a dumb idea?

>>17524505
that last and sole ate working against each other

>>17524546
imagine the creasing

>>17524514
Thanks!

>>17524518
It's glued, unfortunately. Is there a way you can tell it isn't when you buy new ones?

>m*xican welt joints

>>17524550
You'll be able to see the stitching underneath

Most makers will use soles like these that don't go all the way to the edge
American makers just don't give a fuck and stitch through the rubber treading

Even some top tier English makers now glue the rubber soles without stitching sadly

>>17524521
I hope they won't end up looking too formal in real life. I like to wear my boots everywhere, and formal wear at my uni would look tryhard, and for outdoors it would look out of place. If they will be a middle ground "jack of all trades", like you said, then they might actually be perfect for me.
I'll post pics here once they arrive.

>>17524562
I have bought from Cavour before (but not shoes) they ship fast. I bought trousers.

On sale they are one of the best places to buy decently priced, decent quality full canvas suits actually.

>>17524558
I'll try to be more careful when choosing my new boots and will keep the stitching in mind. Thanks for the help!

Redback or Rossi
Redback is better about being made in aus but I think some Rossi still are too

talked a coworker into buying White's MPs (Bostonians were making his feet hurt)
will the White's shills accept me into their council yet?

>>17525137

>>17525137
>>17525290
you will never be a real boot, you have no full grain leather, you have no shank, you have no leather counter

Why can't more people wear boots everywhere? I despise sneakers. Zoomers at uni only wear shitty vans

>>17525325
this post reeks of smug, unearned superiority.

How do I pick which shoe size if I'm between two sizes?

>>17525305
he knows enough about construction to shill stitchdown, but doesn't mind the fact that there's no shank?

>>17525334
pick the smaller one. wastes less material

>>17525334
go with the bigger size, you can fill volume with thicker socks but you can't get extra room if they're too small

>>17525338
they just think stitches to the outsole are gods gift to humanity

>>17525334

I measured with the thickest socks I own, I don't know a lot about buying clothes that actually fit well because I just bought off the rack for the longest time.

>>17525344
Cool.

>>17525339
I'm not the manufacturer lol

>>17525330
No, I just hate larpers. I see people who obviously don't do any sports at all wearing sports clothes to larp as athletes, to impress girls I guess, but it's so fake that it's just cringe inducing.
I guess gym bros wearing shitty tank tops everywhere to show off their muscles is cringe too. A desperate push for some kind of personal identity. I go to the gym and you would never tell by my university class clothes. Wear appropriate attire for the environment that you are in. Only let your personality and interests be known through actions, and not by how you look. This kind of subtlety will make anyone more likeable.

>>17525347

>>17525374
You will develop deeper, long term relationships when you aren't superficial. Wearing sneakers to larp as an athlete works only to make first impressions, and if you do it for the larp only then you definitely won't develop deep relationships, since anyone who will get to know you closer will think that you are a lame poseur. And if you do it to flaunt your hobby (eg gymbro tanktop) then everybody will see you as a boring, shallow individual with a single interest
This is a lesson that many larping autists on /fa/ need to learn.

Favorite boot is obviously the Whites MPs. They fit me the best and don't do things that annoy me like the Iron Rangers (very wide even in your size) or the Indys (tongue slides to the side). My oldest pair is 5 years and in amazing condition so they really will last you for as long as you take care of them. Favorite loafers are the Cheaneys. Super underrated brand

Just got back from oz.
Bought some redback and mongrel non-safeties (pull-on chelsea).
Last inexpensive work boots made in aus unless rossi gets back into it.
At the moment, unless you find oldstock, the only rossi still made there are a few ltd ed. non-safety boots using aus sourced leather, their chunky desert boot and a "bushwalking" boot.
Redback and Mongrel, who I learned recently are the same family but split due to a dispute adidas/puma style, are aus made. Steel Blue are not aus made, but apparently qc is good and are reputed to be very very comfortable if you need safety laceups.

Sizing: the half sizes in the pullon boots are not longer but wider for redback, mongrel and blundstone. Dunno about rossi or baxter. Mongrel are already pretty damned wide such that I felt that mongrel's normal sized boots are as wide as redback's half-sized boot of the same size. So an 8 mongrel is the same width as a redback 8.5 (which is itself wider than a redback 8). A mongrel 8.5 was really wide if you need that extra width. For thicker work socks. I am getting by with thin socks with redback 8.5's and a mongrel 8.

Comfort: I'll get back to you once I've worn them a bit as I just got back and haven't had a chance. Feel like mongrel's are perhaps a bit better made on cursory glance desu senpai. Redback qc and finishing, as if that truly matters on a ≈$110AUD work boot that'll end up looking like shit soon enough anyway, are spotty. Not as good. Feel as if the redbacks would fail sooner all things being equal. More complaints about redback qc failures online too but I feel like that could possibly just be because they're a larger operation and probably sell more boots locally and abroad; mongrel is unheard of/non-existent outside of oz.

Mongrel seems more impressive overall, and more effort in presentation and packaging, again sif that truly matters.
Shopkeeper said he's impressed with what mongrel has coming up the pipeline; a brand to watch.

>>17525347
Which boots are you considrring? How does the bigger size fits?

>>17525548
Yeah but I wanted pics of influencers wearing them spammed in here, like with the astro boy boots

>>17525334
My feet are like 28.2cm and I think that puts me between US11 and US11.5

I own a pair of Aldens on the Trubalance last US11 and they fit great, but the last is also big overall
Most brands say go down a full size for your UK size but on most brands I am UK10.5

I mean if you assume I'm actually a US11.5 on Brannock (since you round up) then I guess 10.5 UK is a full size down from Brannock right?

>>17526800
desu if those wide ass lasts don't fit your feet make an appearance on one of those history channel shows so you can get some cash to buy bespoke fuckin bigfoot
luv u

>>17526800
The best way by far is to go to their store and try them on. The reason they're so popular is because they are everywhere. Only high-end boot you can actually go to a store and try on if you don't live in three places in the continental US.

If you mean you already bought them and need them to fit, good luck. You're looking at desperate stretching methods at that rate like double socked shoe trees and taking a shower with your boots on (that last trick apparently used to be the recommended way to break them in at one point ~30 years ago)

>>17526805
do just about any retail store fit you? or should i call to make sure they have their fitting device

>>17526807
if its a dedicated red wing store they should have a machine to measure, just make sure the employee doesn't like to play basketball or pass fake twenties

>>17526807
You can do both. If you show up to a red-wing store, they all have a modern 3D imager for your foot that produces one of these readouts: >>17526285
>>17526291
>>17526353

And even if they don't, just try them on. the advantage of being able to try them on is that you, personally, determine what is or isn't comfortable and fashionable. Not a machine or a brannock scale.

>>17526808
>>17526809
this, there's a reason Red Wing is babby's first boot, and it's entirely because it's the easiest to find and get into. If you find a good store with a good general manager whom you can talk to, you can even try boots out and return them as you see fit (provided you don't severely fuck them up).
Big brain mode is going to a store to try them on, and then going on ebay to get them second hand.

It's gross. I won't sell my used clothes, when I die it'll just get sent to the charity thrift store for students to root through. People who sell their used clothing are just as disgusting as the people who buy it. It's fucking gross. It grosses me out.

Whatever cope you have to cook up to justify the fact you're buying shit off another man is not going to change my mind. It's gross and so are you. I'm not gonna sell my 2040s or my White's or my Parkhursts or whatever else, but I'll give it away when I'm done for poorfags to maybe buy at the thrift shops around my alma mater because I'm ok with poorfag students getting lucky and buying my shit for pennies.

Okay, but a long as you understand there's really no difference between that and a student buying it for twenty cents because most of them will do that and flip it on ebay.
>>17526936

>>17526940
I'll be dead. If they wish to flip my shit for beer money, I will put in a good word for them with the Lord because they're taking advantage of gross motherfuckers like you. If you are a poorfag student, then admit you're a poorfag student with no money. If that is the case, you shouldn't be buying shit on ebay because that's retarded.

If you're not a poorfag student, then you're a skinflint and louse. You're trying to justify your gross behavior by saying you're smart with your money. It doesn't matter, you're still fucking gross. You'll always be gross.

>>17526943
Carmina has the nicest chelseas hands down, but Im looking for some with less pointed ones

>>17526952
I think you're a borderline lunatic for having this much vitriol on this topic but I do have to respect how poetic you've made your hyperbole. It's very eloquent.
It's not really any more gross than renting skates or bowling shoes. Probably way less gross, even. Used shoes are cheaper, most of them have barely been worn because they're last minute 'oh shit' sales from people who realized a problem with them and their foot for one reason or another.

If it's a mental reason that you'll always think of it as being disgusting, more power to you. The peace of mind is worth it to you.

The only other option I can think of would be Doc Martens and then you're dealing with Doc Martens.

>>17526965
>>17526963
and this is what I mean by the Doc Martens option

>>17526965
>>17526967
>yankos and docs shill is the same person
amazing

>>17526969
Nah I just can't think of any other boots that would fit his profile of a 70's looking shoe
Again my first choice is Carmina. We get into Yanko and Docs territory once we go below $500

>>17526970
We never go into docs territory.

You may not care about a full grain leather, but a shank and a leather counter are part of what makes a boot comfortable. Taste the irony.

Wish I could buy boots like that. I still don't understand why Americans do not see it fit to allow europoors to feel the greatness that is US boot manufacturing.

What the fuck is your problem?

>>17527167
you are lucky, yuropoor boots are superior in most ways.

What's the general opinion on veldtshoes here? I've found these boots, and I'm quite fond of them. Thinking of buying these boots. It's from the brand hoggs and fife. British made

>>17527297
Except in looks I suppose. But I'm happy to be proven wrong if you can show me some euro boots that can compete with Viberg Service Boots, Nick's Americana, White's MP, Trumans etc

>>17527314
veldtschoen construction has a welt, making it superior to st*tchdown. Those look like a galway clone, try them i guess.

>>17526950
>>17526943
Oh look, the shill is awake.

>>17527457
Was awake. He's gone now.

I've never purchased boots for everyday wear before, I've narrowed my search down to a few specific makers.

Does anyone here have a pair of any of these:

CROCKETT & JONES
CARLOS SANTOS
NORMAN VILALTA

I really like the laceless design with the side elastic band. I asked about something similar a few days ago and people rightfully called me stupid for being ready to spend $1000 on Louboutin boots

>>17527467
This is the style I'm looking for

>>17527470
are you a bottom?

>>17527467
all of them are good makers, if u cant stomach spending normal vilalta money go for C&J, best value out there imo.

>>17527473
I don't know what that means.

>>17527477
I don't know if I'll jump in on the price tag for my first buy. What I'm curious about is the price difference for the Carlos Santos. I can't tell if they're cheaper because he has much lower overhead and his quality is up there with the others, or if there's a lower quality factor that I can't see because I'm not familiar.

>>17527467
i have a pair of black crockett and jones oxfords, can definitely say they are great quality and worth the money. i plan to get a derby shoe from them later this year. no experience with the other two.

>>17524001
>Boot Red Flags
>>Dainite
How so? They're not my preferred choice but you can get commandos slapped on if you want

>>17527481
Main difference in price is that they are made in portugal instead of england i guess, either will be great.

>>17527490
ignore

>>17524001
Why do I feel better wearing boots than other footwear?

>>17527493
Okay, thanks. I've been trying to decide if that was the case.

These are almost identical to >>17527470 but they're half the price.

I'll probably grab the Santos ones and see how they are, can always grab the C&J in black later.

>>17527484
I've found a lot of great reviews for them. I'm hoping to find some loafers from them at a good price.

>>17527504
more secure, more comfortable, makes u taller etc.

>>17527504
for me it just comes down to how properly fitting boots just feel better than sneakers or footwear that has so much slop by comparison. i have weirdly shaped feet so normal shoes can never fit as good as leather boots.

Hope /fa/ isn't purchasing any Thursday boots. Connor Wilson, Co-Founder of Thursday is a member of Teneo Network, a PAC chaired by Leonard Leo, who shepherded the justices that overturned Roe. Can't say I'm shocked though, the marketing for the brand always gave right wing hyper American nationalism vibes. Don’t ask me how it just did

I'm sure /fa/ is, /btg/ isn't.

>>17527481
>I don't know what that means.
Because Chelsea Boots are mostly worn by lanklets, women and homosexuals. You should go to a store to try some random pairs unless you are sure you can pull them off.

>>17527546
I don't know if that's true or not but okay. I'm not Lanky by any means, just thin/short

If you're spending $30 on a shirt that's perfectly fine.

If it's above $200 then yeah branding is stupid, but even Hermes has their logo on their shit.

>>17527683
Vibergs are the best boots because their logo is on the inside of the boot instead of on the bottom like Turdhursts.

>>17527676
I imagine some anon somewhere has bought used purple label shit.

>>17527693
And that's retarded. I'm not fundamentally against a logo being somewhere, but being a part of the design is dumb.

>>17527689
Not really a good yardstick. Bespoke shoes are typically without a logo and those are superior to most off the rack items, but even those have some branding somewhere. It's just when it's clearly "Look at me look at the brand I spend X on shoes!"

Gucci is a complete joke because that's their entire selling model.

>>17527538

What if you're going for peak Gandalf wizardcore look?

I got my White's MPs in, it's the Division Road collab with the CF Stead Sepia Brown leather. I was worried that they might be too narrow even at an E width, but they aren't bad. Definitely more snug than other boots I have, but not too uncomfortable, at least just walking around the apartment. That said, do you guys have any tips to help with break in? Not really used to boots this thick. White's recommends applying oil to the vamp 2-3x a week for the first month to help soften it up, but it seems a little excessive to me.

>>17527739
start slow
>2 hours for the first day at home
>2x2 hours for the next day walking around
heavy wool socks

you can oil them but it will change the colour, whether thats a good thing or a bad thing thats up to you

>>17527314
>hogg and strife
Literally who?
Just a relabeled Cheaney Pennine II R? If you cut out the middleman perhaps they'll be cheaper from the source. Or not.

>>17527733
>>17527739
so that's the difference in lasts between English and American boots

>>17527740
I might just oil them once a week. I got these to beat up, so I am not worried about the color. I figure it was going to change pretty quickly anyway.

>>17527756
what kind of oil are you using

>>17527733
boots

>>17527733
Also boots

>>17527759
I had planned to use Fiebing mink oil, but I also have Bick 4 and Saphir Renovateur on hand too. Do you think one of those might be better.

>>17527733
Boots as well

>>17527777
the mink will change the colour the most out of all three and the saphir the least. for pure softening i think the mink oil will have the most drastic effect

>>17527733
name of these?

3 latest additions since original photo. Still waiting on the following boots which might show up by the end of the year:

>>17527923
Wesco has to send me a try pair which I’m still waiting on since I went the custom last route.

>>17527916
How do the cheetahs feel, narrow, normal width, or wide?

>>17527929
They run narrow. I would just buy them in the same UK size as your normal US adidas size. Probably going to give mine to a buddy and grab another pair since the hype died down.

>>17527934
Did the price go down too?

>>17527934
Thanks.

>>17527948
They seem to run $100-120 now and a few people are selling them in the US. I think peak hype they would run $200 shipped from Pakistan. Either way they’re overpriced.

it was 22C today

>>17527739
literally just wear them. MPs are not uncomfortable unless your foot is fucked.

>>17527538
Damn now I want them but I've heard they're not that good. Not sure it's worth spending that money just as an act of support

>>17528112
white's have a much "firmer" fit compared to other boots on the market, they take a while to get used to

>>17528121
yes, I own whites. They never hurt to walk around it, only on inclines until the tongue broke in

>>17527834
wha? what are you doing up there?

>>17528181
He's working, unlike you.

Are chelsea boots okay for men? I'm an office chair filler so work boots dont match what I usually wear.

>>17528196
they're gay, like looking for an easy slip in boot so they can get someone to slip in them easy

>>17528207
I dont really follow. How are they different from loafers?

>>17528196
you have to be very masculine to avoid looking like a bottom
even then, people may start wondering if you're a switch

>>17528214
they're just as gay

>>17528207
>>17528217
>>17528218
So what I'm getting here is I need to wear lace up boots to not look gay

>>17528214
loafers are also for bottoms, or fat bankers.

>>17528222
You could wear square toe cowboy boots if you want.
Don't be a faggot and you'll be fine.

>>17528181
Working in work boots. I know it’s a crazy concept around here.

>>17528224
I'm just not following why slip ons are bad if Im not a physical laborer.

>>17528231
Why do you need to take your boots off in a hurry? Is someone going to pin your feet behind your head?

Tops don't need to take their boots off.

>>17528231
how you dress is a reflection of yourself. if you're wearing slip ons you're looking for an easy way out in life. you are not secure, the fit is loose

>>17528233
>>17528234
Because I'm lazy and like to write emails and review .esx files with my shoes off?

which of these would you get? leaning more towards the cognac on the right for now.

>>17528238
You sound soft and grabbable. How long is your hair?

>>17528239
don't fall for the raw/undyed leather meme. pick right,

>>17528239
right looks way better, left is just asking for fried chicken grease to be dropped on it

>>17528248
It's short. I'm a professional.

Do these meet your high and mighty standards?

>>17528255
less gay than chelseas

>>17528256
So again, everything is gay but work boots.

>>17528255
Chukkas are a good style. I like them. Props for picking the two eyelet style. Suede chukkas are great.

>>17528252
>>17528253
i thought the left might be cool once i wore them in and got some wear on them, but right is probably the better choice for consistency. i'll just go with that.

>>17528263
>and got some wear on them
that's literally just dirt

>>17528267
sorry, should i have said spent time wearing them?

>>17528263
This sums up why I hate effay. They're work boots and you're complaining they got dirt on them.

You know what, screw you guys Im just buying whatever I want and I'll wear what I feel like.

>>17528269
I don't think I explained myself well enough.
Raw leather that "gets wear on it" is literally just dirty leather. It gains color because it gets stained by something you can't get out.
You are walking around in dirty boots, and you should clean them, but if you clean them you're back to colorless, boring leather. So you want them dirty.

It's moronic.
>>17528272
Yes they're work boots but you still clean them. Stop tracking mud everywhere. You're not on a job site.

>>17528272
but i am not complaining? maybe i used bad english

>>17528272
we do a little shitposting sometimes

>>17528276
Why would anyone wear work boots if they're not for working.

>>17528282
I'm going to buy a pair of chelseas and loafers and no one can stop me.

Yes. But not black. Also get a proper jacket to balance the boots.
