Is it good boot?

uh oh

How do Wesco engineer boots fit, size wise? I'm a 10d in cowboy boots and if this new job comes through I want to make a dumb first paycheck purchase.

these any good for $100? end of season sale

>>17567710

>>17567472
truman boots arrived. i think they look pretty nice. they will be a good work boot since i really don't have to worry about scuffing this leather.

>>17567681
depends on if you're going for the Boss or the Mister Lou

boss will be wider fitting, but keep in mind their E width is closer to a D width

>>17567721
i have $100 bro

>>17567744
don't waste your money on trash then you'll be out 100 dollars with shit boots

>>17567723
>commando heel
YUCK!

>>17567710
>for $100?
yeah its fine. you could do worse

>>17567749
it's ok. i want them for work and outside. they make some with other soles, but these are good for what i need. i think if this leather becomes available again, they will use this one.

can you put a protector on a dovetail heel?
i doubt the rubber will stick to the rubber

>>17567753
you will need to remove the dovetail, fill the gap (or be a super cancerous cobbler, remove that layer entirely without replacement) and then glue the new heel lift on

Looking for a good brand for Chelseas. Budget is ~$500.

>>17567723
nice

>>17567472
these are the comfiest boots ive owned in my entire adult life almost like wearing mocassins like when i was a little boy

>>17567681
I have narrow feet and my Wesco bosses have crazy heel slip, but they're nowhere near broken in yet. I can get away with it if I wear thick socks

I sized down from a 12 to an 11.5

are pecos worth it?

>>17567721
Meh, I've had worse issues from more expensive brands. Allen Edmonds sent me two right shoes with 2 different soles. Then the replacement had bad stitching. It just happens.

>>17567936
fucking stop you know im considering those

>>17567939
it's a nice looking leather, I'm interested to see how it ages

Are chukkas a good introductory boot into the high end handmade boots world for a casual dresser? Or should I just go with some kind of service boot by Viberg or whatever, C&J derby boot or Alden Indy's etc?

Wasn't considering chukkas until a few days ago and now I'm intrigued, also summer is coming.

Fuck I want a pair of Urban Shepherds Country boots but they don’t sell them in the U.S. anymore, I missed them by a few months.

>>17567977
Didn’t even know about them when they were still shipping to the U.S.

When do Truman boots go on sale?

I want this so bad, anybody having jodhpur ?

Guys? >>17567479

i know this isn't the place for it, but i didn't want to shit up the board any further by making a thread just for it
does anyone know what pants this dudes wearing in this video?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m8YFWHYIpxk

>>17567900
No it doesn't just happen.

Teju lizard boots, first pair of exotics. It's an absolute workout to get it off but that's on me for being old and not immediately buying a boot jack, rectifying that asap.

For anyone on the fence, if you fit a pair of cowboy boots that fits your foot properly, you'll be amazed at how comfortable and durable the can be

>>17568074
I got a pair of maroon/brown jodhpurs this year, I like em. Make sure you know what form is the last(wouldn't want it too pointy for your taste) and it must fir perfect cause they're a pain if they don't fit.

>>17567936
what are those ?

>>17567883
I've been wearing the workboot version and i like them well enough. break in was on the longer side.
don't know enough about cowboy boots to compare them to other options though.

>>17567479
>>17568079
Sorry mate I cannot help you.

The only thing I know about shoes is that if they are made with good materials and proper construction methods and by people who care the end result is good.
The easiest way to digest all of that into one thing is a brand. That's why people here only propose certain brands.

And it has nothing to do with price, I'd rather take a Grant Stone ($350) than a George Cleverley ($4,000).

>>17567479
I don't know what I'm looking at. If ot's some sort of fabric linning, it doesn't look like it'll last long.

This might be a really dumb question and I'm sorry about it, but can I store boots lying on their side instead of standing upright or will that ruin them long term?

The only real storage space for shoes in my shitty tiny city apartment is under the bed, which hasn't really been a problem so far since I only have shoes that fit under there easily. I use plastic shoe boxes with cotton bags so they are protected from dust and stuff as much as possible while they are stored there.
I don't really want to spend money on a good pair of boots only for them to be entirely deformed whenever I get them out of storage from under the bed from lying on their side for 6+ months during the hot summer months.

>>17568572
they're going to get weird creases but should be fine otherwise.
consider stuffing them with newspaper to help hold shape.

>>17568229

>>17568572
>only for them to be entirely deformed whenever I get them out of storage
generally speaking it'll get undeformed after wearing it a couple times

Any bikers here? I'm looking for a quality CE rated motorcycle boot that'll look good off the bike.

>Alden Indy's cost $655 now
when I got my pair in 2021 they cost $575 which was already way overpriced but I'm not poor so didn't care. My Whites cost $450 in 2018 and they're 700 fucking dollars now.
I am going to get my dream pair of Vibergs and then I'm done with boots for good. These prices are clown world shit now

>>17569142
don't put too much stock into CE ratings on motorcycle gear.
outside of dedicated racing shit, most of it sneakily uses CE's workwear criteria rather than motorcycle criteria. take a look at exactly which clause is cited next time you see something CE rated.

Are Truman boots good?

>>17569511
How many pairs do you have?

>>17569376
Thanks, I'll keep an eye out for that.

These are incredibly comfy boots, much more comfy than the Red Wings I have. I do wish they looked less utilitarian but so far they're the nicest looking actual S3 SRC work boot I've come across.

just copped a pair of tricker's durham in tan olivvia for 260 pounds.
Olivvia Leather / Oliveleder is made by Weinheimer (they make some of the best boxcalf out there), its an all natural tanning process and they use olive leaves for tanning, somehow.

It sure sounds cool, 20% easter sale until monday on trickersoutlet btw.

>>17569563
5 pairs of boots and probably 10 dress shoes. At my old job I used to wear nice clothes but with the defromalization of society everyone wears tshirts and sneakers now

>>17569438
i have been wearing mine for the past 2 days. there are some oddities about them but they feel very sturdy. if you are any larger than a regular d width please get ee, it will make a difference. the heel area is quite large, until they are broken in i can tell i will need to put bandages back there to avoid blisters. the toe box is also not anatomical, if your big toe goes straight or bends outward, you might have some rubbing. the tongue is very thick leather, it will take time to break in. i also wish the sides of the tongue were larger, i have noticed that if i bend down it will shift away and let the speedhooks dig into my ankle. i can't judge them fairly until they start really breaking in, but this is my initial impression wearing them.

other than feeling, the construction seems good. all the stitching is neat and nothing is off or crooked.

How can I justify buying a pair of Nicks when they are literally 5-6x the price of any other footwear I've ever owned?

>>17570108
Because you'd like to have it.

>>17570108

Opinions on Solovair boots and Red Wing Iron Rangers?

>>17570538
Same thing happened to my Meermin boots. I reckon itwas a combination of not being well made and not letting them dry properlywhen wearing them in snow. I've had them for 2 weeks, worn maybe 8-10 days. Their customer support was utter shit and it was easier to just have them repaired. No issues since. Pic related.

just get regular boots. they have heels already.

>>17571160
I'm already 6'0 so I'm hoping going from 6'2 or 6'4 with these boots + lifts to my natural height wouldn't really be noticed. Women make themselves look completely different with makeup so why not play the same game and get a little height boost where I can.
https://youtu.be/pWU4D8QiQog
>>17571161
I already have boots with heels, I've ordered lifts so I can get an extra inch with those and be in the 6'2 - 6'3 range with those, if I got boots with lifts I could maybe get another inch on that.

Their quality went to shit a long, long time ago. Knew plenty of electricians and mechanics that wore them, plenty of stores around town. Nobody wears them anymore. Do yourself a favor and spend the extra $50-100 on a different company. Or go back down to $200 range.

>>17571272

Are Indy boots worth the price tag? I’ve been eyeing a pair for some time.

>>17567821
i wish the soles were better. Would've bought those a long time ago if they were.

>>17571478
No not worth the price

Allen Edmonds are having a pretty big sale right now if anyone is interested.

>>17571478
That is really subjective. But I'm also interested in them. From what I've heard they're well made and one of the most comfortable boots on the market. Also they're sexy as fuck.

Pretty pricey though, yeah.

>>17571478
They cost almost 700 dollars now. A few years ago they were 500 and before that even less. They are way overpriced, that is for sure. But then again, all good boots are overpriced as fuck now.
That being said, they are extremely comfy. Of all my boots they are definitely the best feeling and fitting.
QC is hit or miss but I think it depends which retailer you get them from. I got mine from The Shoe Mart. When I first bought my Indys the pair I got was so bad looking that I opened the box, took one look and laughed out loud before putting them in the box and emailing for an exchange. I can't even describe how bad that shit was. My replacement pair was fine mostly but still had missed and sloppy stitches around the shaft where the lining is sewn in. And then there's the ridiculously skinny, non-gusseted tongue that slides to the side constantly. It's awful and I have no idea why Alden never fixed it after all these years
At the end of the day they are extremely overpriced, the materials aren't great (non-leather midsole on a boot that price is insulting, CXL is prone to really ugly creasing), the QC is very hit or miss with some boots getting sent out that never should have left the factory. But despite it all, they're extremely comfortable, they look great and no copycat brand has ever been able to pull off a successful clone, they look cool as shit and there's loads of leather/sole options to choose
it's a 400-500 dollar shoe being sold for nearly 700. it's up to you to decide if that's a deal breaker or not. I absolutely love my Indys and will definitely be getting the midsole upgraded if/when i do a resole, and will either have a gusseted tongue put in or the tongue stitched in place. they're good boots, but the price is a joke for what you get and the QC you risk getting
from what i have heard if you order for alden of madison or alden of carmel they are better about QC than the shoe mart which doesn't care, but has great CS though

>>17571769
european brands make the best boots and shoes. What exactly are you looking for? There are too many options out there.

>>17571809
Something similar to the american work boot. Red Wing, one brand that I know where to find is supposedly not good and I would prefer trying on shoes rather than ordering from the US. I'll be in Paris soon so if you know any french brands to look up, that would be great.

>>17571563
desu when is ae not having a sale?

What’s the general consensus on Vibergs? I like the 2030 look but fuck, 800+ bucks for a pair? Seems overpriced.

I found a great pair of low boots made by aldo about a year ago in a thrift store. They're really great replacements for dress shoes (which I have never liked the look or feel of) at mildly-dressy occasions but are a little on the beater side. I'll probably get them looking nicer with some oil and polish, but they were not in the greatest structural shape when I got them and I doubt fast-fashion boots are properly cobbler-able.

Where can I get some nice-quality boots that are as close to these as possible?

Big points to hit are cap toe (non-negotiable), relatively narrow/slim at the ankles (a lot of boots, especially in my size 12, get stupidly wide at the ankle; I like the look of these), similar height/proportion, and similar sole (thin, not a lot of overlap, don't quite know how to describe it). Preferred budget around $300, but I'm flexible since these will basically be my go-to "nice shoes".

>>17571982
parkhurst would actually be a close match for the upper if you like the stiching pattern but the sile isnt as thin
desu you'll probably struggle to find thin soled welted boots that arent full dress boots

>>17571987
parkhurst is an option. I'd want to see how they look on the ankle to see if they're too wide, though, and strangely the cap-toe option (Allen) doesn't seem to come in black; the dark burgundy is kind of intriguing.

I'm fine with full dress boots, as long as they're not suede or something else I'd have to really baby/be afraid to walk around in. I'll probably keep the boots I have now for beater-dressy and use the new ones for dressy-dressy

>>17571991
>>17571982
Also I just realized I'm fucking stupid and said "cap toe" when I meant the exact opposite: round toe (no cap, no moc)

>>17571991
they're pretty narrow at the heel

>>17571170

its literally just standard gyw construction, its no more waterproof than any other gyw boot. Get a 360 degree veldtschoen boot if you want the most water proof welted construction, or just go for rubber boots if you need actual waterproofness

you can wax or spray invulner on any leather

ty anon but im kinda retarded

are these considered open style lacing?

>>17572284
yes

>>17572286
Thanks anon, I kinda wanna buy the last ones I linked but have size 12 feet

do you think they will look clown like

>>17572303
you're gonna wear the black/purple grained longwings? i think you're better off with something like pic related

Thinking about getting a high end chukka but since this is the first pair of footwear I'll ever pay more than like 80USD for i want to get the sizing right. Should I just go full retard and order 3 pairs and then try them all on and then return two of the pairs? Is this haram? Will the e-store try and fuck me and then I'm left with 3 pairs and an empty bank account? Should be no problems whatsoever if I just gently try them on inside, r-right?

>>17572373
can't get measured/try on in person?

>>17572376
No

>>17572406
well i guess you might as well order the three. do you even have a baseline for sizing?

>>17572421
Yeah I've measured my feet in one of those high-tech fancy digital feet measuring devices that some stores have. So I have a pretty good idea of length and width etc. But I also know you're supposed to go down like a size from your sneaker size, I wear 43 in sneakers. But that doesn't really add up to what the bootmaker recommends. They say people with my foot length should take UK9/43 in their boots which is the same size as my sneaker sizes. Some anon said I should size down from their recommendation though since the boots are usually built for being able to wear really thick socks.

>>17572453
what boot?

C&J Molton

Thats the women fit, mens looks like this

yes

I am an 11.5D brannock and have a pair of mister Lou’s in 11E which fit pretty well. I cannot speak for the boss boot, but the toe on the mister Lou is pretty narrow and I would suggest sizing up in width. It was also a long break in period and I went through a few times of getting blisters on my heels. The insole is now broken in and when I strap the buckles all the way, I don’t have any more heel slip and the boots are pretty comfortable. I don’t know if I could have done the sizing any better than this, but at the end of the day engineer boots are pretty difficult to size correctly and the particular last you’re interested in may not be the right one for your feet. For example, a lot of people say that the John Lofgren engineers have a very difficult pass through, especially people with even a slightly above average instep height. As far as I know, my instep is pretty normal and when I followed the sizing guide for the Lofgren engineers, I never had an issue getting my feet into them. Tbh I feel like I could have even gone a size down since the toe width is arguably closer to an E instead of a D

Are there any good boots that take custom insoles? I need a pair I can put these in.

>>17572631
if you need arch support in boots you're better off getting a pair with them built in like White's, any sort of insert is a ridiculous compromise that changes the way the boot fits and will never work out

>>17572631
nicks rubber boots are designed to take an insert
youll run out of height with most of the normal service boot lasts unless you buy excessively large

>>17572635
Thanks, I won't waste my time trying to find nice boots that will take them then. I'll write an email to the CS of the Swedish boot site Midasanon linked earlier and ask if they stock anything that has built in arch support.

>>17572642
EU so unfortunately it will be a bitch to return if it doesn't fit

>>17572643
just buy White's if you're after arch support

>>17572662
I found a local retailer, will have to wait until my size is stocked again. How's the fit on the 350 Cruisers and the Shermans compared to Iron Rangers?

>>17572680
i take the same length in the 55 last compared to IR

>>17572688
Thanks.

Do people really wear these?

>>17572956
manlets maybe

its cool

can we finally admit cxl is shit and only liked for its lack of care requirements
its hazy, greasy and flat

>>17573049
I wouldn't go as far to say that its "shit", but there are more interesting leathers out there. To be fair, chromexcel arguably looks good when its well-aged and looks rather dull when its brand new

>>17573049
yeah its a great thing that companies are using seidel, wickett and craig and cf stead more and more now

>>17573059
double shot is great and btfos cxl
just compare the depth of color on the natural to rigor mortis brown natty cxl
much better temper too

Those are nice, but I need a sole that won't slide around on ice
Sawmills pretty much had everything I wanted, I can't believe they stopped making them

>>17573107
do you absolutely need a moc toe?

non wedge mocs aren't as popular as wedge mocs

>>17573109
Prefer a moc, but don't need. Just need something that's can handle cold weather (Ottawa) and a decent amount of snow and ice. I liked that the sawmills had a bit of insulation.

>>17573112
insulation should come from your socks not linings

>>17567753
I have a pair of loafers with exactly that done. I've walked tons in them to the point the protector is wearing through, they never had an issue sticking to the rubber dovetail.

is palladium effay?

Or they just last forever
Dunno if I should invest in saphire products if they last only few years

Black CXL is teacore and at first I didn't like it because I wanted my boots to remain black but now I love it

Wasn't the whites MP $550 last year? Man fuck inflation

>>17573702
It’s not inflation it’s greed

Thinking of getting a pair of thse for when i need to shovel the driveway.

So, can I wear slim boots like Chelsea or some slim modes like Carmina’s with those pants https://blackficus.com/product/loose-pleated-pants-blue-grey or should I go for wider boots/slimmer pants ?

Is it haram if your two only non-massproduced high-end boots are made of the same leather? I just like C&J waxed rough-out suede is all and the second boot i want is in the same leather ;^(

>>17573954
Its fine but i would probably try to switch it up, if you have one waxed/suede/rough leather i would try to get something in smooth leather too, or at least different colors. That said my only nice boots are in waxed CF stead and i am a bix fan of it

>>17573954
I think you should get some variety, C&J scotch grain is extremely nice for example.

Are Parkhurst manufactured in the U.S. or in Spain?
Says they manufacture in both countries, but which boots are manufactured in Spain and which boots are manufactured here?

>>17573702
This is what happens when you are owned by a multinational corporation, they have no control over their pricing anymore ABC mart does.

>>17574214
90% in spain then "finished" in the usa

>>17574214
>which boots are manufactured in Spain and which boots are manufactured here?
Good fucking question
Guy tried to do all made in usa from usa suppliers and they couldn't fill his orders and or went out of business. Couldn't even buy daynite soles for a while.

>>17574226
:(

>>17574195
I would unironically buy some role clubs. Undoubtedly the sexiest toe silhouette on a pair of engineers

>>17574206
i dont really plan to resole any of my boots. i just want the sole to actually wear out instead of falling off

>>17574304
agreed but they're not 3k sexy

Nice photos anon, even the owner of SF liked your post

I think a few people will replicate these

>>17574318
Are they actually $3k? I thought they were $2k

>Crown Norfampton
>Bri'ish made
>Norf FC quality
>"recieved"

if this doesn't set off alarms in your head you got a problem

Looks like the horror stories about modern day George Cleverley "bespoke" shoes are starting to hit the mainstream

These are $4k

Shoes are made by people not brands. When people die things change.

Could honestly be the perfect Indy clone if made with the fake moctoe stitching like Alden does

Do we know if you can get custom options with the Perry Select?

>>17574422
check with bakers, but i imagine it would a 6-9 week lead time

>>17574399
how does that even happen?

I have combat boots that fit fine lenght wise, but are a little tight in the middle toe area. Will using insoles with arch support help with the fit?

>>17574386
summer will almost be over by the time to get your desert boots ;^(

>>17574214
Both
The ones made in Spain are unironically the better boots. They're made in the same factories that have been making boots for loads of brands for decades versus the US which is Mariah de los Santos and Laquisha Williams making them

>>17574390
Source?

>>17574689
brian is the sole (heh) proprietor of role club and he makes boots particularly the engineer model from start to finish based out of san fran iirc

>>17574710
Yeah I know that I was just wondering where this post came from. $3,000 seems like its on the upper end of the price range since I typically see that people claim they've boughten his engineers for around $1500-2000
