Yes. And that is based.

>a few years later
This can't be real, right? Or is this actually a thing?

>>17583909
no they're just coping with them being uncomfortable

>redtape boots
>less than £30
>unlimited styles
>look kino asfuck
>comfy as fuck
>extremely durable, one pair has lasted me years and I still wear them out even for formal occasions , restaurants, romantic nights out etc
>sturdy
>add a solid 1+inches to height

whats the catch?

>>17583811
Hi everyone, any Europeans able to tell me whether Loake oxfords or derbies are decent quality? I'm looking for shoes in their price vicinity with decent quality, cuz I'm poor as shit.

>>17583933
these are one of my favourite purchases ive ever bought
i own about 7 pairs
i bought every colour and 2 of them
some are still super clean and only worn on special occasians. feel like an absolute boss when I wear them
others are a bit more tattared and I use them for hiking or doing outdoors work

>>17583941
You know what is cheaper?
Buying a pair of boots getting one that is a seconds and them telling you to keep it and getting a full refund.

>>17583909
lol, lmao even

>>17583909
the nitrile cork soles on chippewas is very hardwearing but unforgiving: it flexes very little and provides no cushioning so his feet were never comfortable in them

>>17583937
Go with one of the spanish/portugese makers. Yanko, Berwick, Meermin and the like should be in that price range. TLB Mallorca or maybe Carlos Santos if you feel more fancy

>>17583909
Just coping, probably sized wrongly. Haven't had any break in issues on any boots that actually fit me.

This is Carmina.
The company is named after her.

Say something nice.

>>17584116
She cute

>>17584047
Thanks for the recommendations, they all seem very nice, especially the more expensive ones. I have to say I just wanted to know a thing or two about Loakes cuz there is a store nearby, but now that you have tried to get me to not buy English shoes may I ask why? Are the Spanish/Portuguese better quality?

>>17584116
Would (lick her boots clean)

>>17584116
cute, would enjoy nutting in her butt

hope it fits...

>>17584310
i wonder how many times it takes to stab yourself under the fingernail with the awl before you finally get good at this

I need your help bootfrens. I'm new to fine footwear and would appreciate some assistance. I'm looking to get a pair of boots that are formal looking enough to work with a suit, but are still rugged enough to handle a lot of walking across varied surfaces. I just got a new job that's going to involve a lot of travel, I might be at company's HQ for a bit and then out and about for the rest of the day. Not expecting to go hiking up a mountain, but mining pits and clearings in forests will be expected. I really like the look of pic related, outside of the texturing, but the price is just too much for me to handle right now. Any other brand recommendations would be appreciated. It's usually hard for me to find decent fitting footwear since my feet are EE width and I have a high arch, so even better if you know of anything that looks like these boots but is also wide.

>>17584366
I'm really liking my Parkhursts

>>17584366
White's semi dress sounds right up your alley except for the work with a suit part, you could probably push it with a sport coat but a suit is no

What the hell happened to Truman's? Everything is over $400 now

>>17584368
I like the style, but from their website I don't think the leathers they have would pair well with a suit.

>>17584369
They do look nice, but I agree they seem to be too much for a proper suit. I'll save them for later, maybe if I know that I'll be going to certain states I could pull that off with just a sport coat.

>>17584375

Can I put colored shoe cream or polish over saphir renovateur? Or do you need to use a conditioner without waxes like lexol?

going to clean up my pattons and some old crust leather boots Ive had since university

>>17584400
Use this instead

>>17584404
I already have the renovateur. Just wondering if I need something else if I want to put black shoe cream overtop after conditioning

>>17583811
What are some recommended combat boots? I'd prefer cheaper (under $100) and in a similar style to the paramemes, but am willing to spend more if need be.

>>17584469
>under $100

>>17584469
So it's all LARP tier shit under $100, even used? What if I said under $300?

>>17584476
that was the magic of the parameme, it was a lot of boot for the money.
the meme is long gone though.

>>17584490
I get that, but if price were not a factor what boot would you recommend that's at least equivalent in quality to the parameme? I don't expect heritage quality, just something that looks good and isn't made of shitty materials that will fall apart immediately.

>>17584500
if price were not a factor then i would of course splurge on heritage quality

>>17584500

He fell for all the Redditors telling him to size down huge amounts and that it is "normal" for boots to be painfully unwearable for months.

You can try to get french army rangers. Can get them used in near mint condition for cheap and they're built like fucking tanks.

>>17584744
Have you got a source of inspo images on how to wear these with buckles exposed? Picrel mine but need ideas on how to wear them outfit wise

>>17584764
Not really. I wear my jeans over them. I was worried the buckles might get caught in the fabric and poke holes, but so far I haven't had any issues. I haven't tuck in my pants on them in public yet because it looks a bit larpy, but have cuffed enough so that when sitting the lower buckle kinda shows.

c/n? I need something to rotate my penny loafers with, I was gonna get suede chukkas but somehow decided against it.

What's the CHEAPEST BLACK COMBAT-ISH STYLE boot that you would recommend to somone in GOOD CONSCIOUS (you don't think it's a ripoff or total piece of shit)??

>>17584957
custom whites bounty hunter

>>17584831
Imo hiding the buckles is hiding the best feature. What I do is cuff to the firrst buckle (up to the second one is too high and doesn't look good), and tuck the outer edge of the cuff between the buckles so its stays in place. This is the French army regulations, except with cuffs. I think my pants are just too flared which probably is my problem.

>>17584500
Nick's custom Tactical boots.

Not a boot but I got my Crown Northamptons today

They fit me well (asked for G fitting)
They look very minimal
They seem very well made

The only problem is they squeak. A lot.

>>17585154
The insole is thick and removable and they included a thin (veg tan?) leather insole as alternative too. I don't think I'll use the thin one.

>>17584885
yes
fuck suede and fuck chukkas
fuck suede chukkas
>>17585154
the squeaking should stop when they're more broken in
if they haven't by then then lmao

>>17585181
>the squeaking should stop when they're more broken in
Yeah I hope so, I'll probably go on a couple of walks around the neighborhood before I wear these for real

Might apply a bit of renovateur where the tongue meets the facings, I did that on my Vibergs and they stopped squeaking

This guy has gone viral on TikTok
https://twitter.com/MadisonKittay/status/1647719588879032325

Can you tell me what boots he's wearing?
There was another vid on Insta where he was standing on the log, I could see the kilties on the boots, looked very PNW

Even though they aren’t boots I have a question about Quoddy for you leatherfags. How are they size-wise? I wear 8 in Red Wings, 8.5 in Chucks, and 9 in sneakers. I reached out to them and asked about this and they recommend 8.5, but most people say a half size down from brannock and I’m technically a 9.5 on there.

>>17585190
probably rw875

>>17585190
Get a pair of moc toe Redwings, Thorogoods, or Whites. They’ll all be close enough.

>>17584885
go longwings instead of short

>>17584885
Do other people in the office wear brogued wingtips?
If not you might draw a bit of attention, which is maybe not what you want.

Personally I think a quarter brogue adelaide is about as much brogueing I can muster. No medallions.

>>17584366
Dress boots that work with a suit and also for hiking up a mountain and also mining pits and clearings in forests do not exist anon.
Buy a pair of black oxfords to wear with your suit (honestly these days even a black derby or loafer is acceptable and no one will care) and a pair of beater boots for those other places since they will inevitably get fucked up.
One way to avoid scratches and stuff is roughout, but it starts to look really ruff after a while of playing in the mud, the branches and the rocks.

>>17584957
White's smokejumpers

When do shoe manufacturers usually refresh their stock? I'm oggling a pair of shoes but the size I want is out of stock.

>>17583843
people have been wearing boots for thousands of years anon

>>17585253
>Buy a pair of black oxfords to wear with your suit (honestly these days even a black derby or loafer is acceptable and no one will care) and a pair of beater boots for those other places since they will inevitably get fucked up.
I did think about that, but it just seems like a pain to bring two pairs everywhere with me. I suppose it's probably what I am going to have to do. Even with a great pair of boots, I feel like any mining sites I visit would probably ruin them quickly, anyway.

why do whitesfags never shill the Steven's?

Sup, bootbros. I'm looking to drop some cash on a pair of effay boots that are extremely comfortable, and can have no issues wearing all day, every day of the week. I was leaning towards the White's MP-M1. Any recommendations?

>>17585846
yes the MPs are good, personally prefer the captoe myself

>>17585846
good choice, but the MP-sherman looks straight up better

>>17585846
Excellent choice, what leather are you thinking? I like the natural cxl and natural waxed flesh. They look kinda pale new but age beautifully
>>17585851
Debatable, but both look good. It’s an attractive boot no matter how you slice it. However I’d avoid the dannite sole and make sure to get the commando sole. I think the lugs go with the rugged nature of the boot while keeping it classy looking.
>>17585928
In pics I like the M1 more than the Sherman, I like the simplicity of the single piece blackstrap. However this won’t matter when it’s on your feet, nobody will be able to tell the difference.

>>17585851
I like the cleaner look of the regular toe. I feel its more versatile

You guys who own whites MP. Have you used the thing where you input the length of your feet on the product page and then whites tell you which size boots you should get? If so does it give you the correct sizes? Asking because I'm 8,5UK yet White's page is telling me to get 8,5US in their boots, which seems off. Thought I should be getting 9US.
>https://shop.whitesboots.com/lifestyle-boots/mp-sherman-toe-cap-half-lug/#

>>17586264
yes, you should go for 9US
measured my foot and their guide said i am a 10, even though my MPs are in 10.5D and fit quite snug

You can get a galway in G width, go for the 72 last instead of 64 maybe.

>>17585616
And they are not the retards who frequent this thread.

spent 300 bucks on a pair of redwing boots last year and the inside heel has already worn out to the point it stabs me in the ankle
are the classic nigger stompers like doc martens any good?

>>17586589
oh, I just read the OP and scrolled through now realize you incels think effeminate heeled pixie boots are the only way to go lmao nevermind

>>17586592
Doc martens are effeminate boots, only girls still wear them and it's been that way since the late 90s at least.

>>17586589
>>17586592

>>17586749

>>17586749
you're as soft as those soles

>>17586767
What I like is the whole thing is made in two pieces unlike r*d wings chelseas which are 4 pieces stitched together and it costs less, too.
The suede could be a problem, I admit.

>>17586352
the calf, hatch on shell is a waste of the mirrory finish and is more suited on regular leathers

>>17586770

Parents want to get me a nice pair of shoes for my birthday but Im not sure what to get. Any suggestions?

whites has a closeout sale on some individual shell cordovan seconds/returns
it's not the first time, also people show them off from time to time
how do you go about getting them normally?
shell is not listed as an option anywhere, not on whites or bakers
is it secrit club waiting list only?
fuck i want them so bad

>>17587159
special request through bakers i believe

>>17587159
I thought they quit shell because they sucked so much with it and wasted too many shells.

>walking down the street
>bump on uneven concrete slab
>when i took boots off the welt was fucking chipped
i can seal it back with some glue. but is shit normal or was extremely unlucky?

How do you style a combat boot? They look comically large and the only way it looks good on me is wearing everything oversize

i got my leather boots sole protectors, and they get so squeaky at times. that was month ago, and it goes away, but then at some random day they start squeaking again. even on concrete. Anyone dealt with something similar?

Guys, can you suggest me decent quality boots?
150 euro max. No laces. Zipper or elastics. Us or eu doesnt matter

>>17588009
the Rick is to have shipping take long enough that you pay off the show cost on the credit card so when you have to pay the gubbermint you dont see the full cost and realise how had of a financial decision you made

>>17588009
>buy right shoe in one transaction
>buy left shoe in another transaction
>no 30% taxes

>tried freezing my boots like my jeans

>>17588009
Jim Green Vellies, or their shoellie if you like it, both under $150 so definitely under 150 Euros.

>>17588248
ive never heard of doing either whats the intended benefit here

ok so i want a set of more casual style boots to wear when im not rocking the chelseas
are these a good choice?

>>17588344
Yes

Vintage Justin's, made in the USA in the mid 90s. New Justin may be shit but these have held up really well. Not the traditional boots posted here but they are Goodyear welted, all leather and made in America by hand so I figured they fit the theme.

id on these boots?

>>17588685
look at oak street bootmakers

>>17583811
Is there an equivalent region in Europe where a large amount of bootmakers just happen to be concentrated? Similar to how there is Northampton in the UK and the PNW for North America.

>>17583811
patkhurst moose boots are here. these are ridiculously comfortable. if they didn't list the tannery i would almost think this is some fake leather. it's so soft and supple there is going to be almost break in. i do wish i could have gotten 9ee instead of 9.5, but it works with plenty of room for my width. the pictures aren't really accurate either, it's much darker in person. i really like how it constrasts with the mid sole though, much better than expected.

>>17588713
Bootmaking has obviously been in a massive decline, apart from Norfampton there is Almansa (Idrese, Berwick, Mezlan, Morjas, Magnanni, J. FitzPatrick, Taft) and Mallorca (Carmina, TLB Mallorca, Yanko, Lottusse) As far as i know at least.

>>17588740
should be noted some of those don't actually have their own factories.

>>17588731
>i would almost think this is some fake leather. it's so soft and supple
its like fabric

>>17588731
deadly, if I didn't just get the Oak Ramblers I would've been tempted to get these

Picked these up at a local antique store for $20. Perfect fit. Easily one of the best purchases I've ever made.

Those were a Eytys sample boot. Only Ecco2K has those.

>>17588451
what leather is that

should I get grant stone brass boots to replace my timbs?

>>17589095

>>17589095

>>17589395
idk what watercolor finger paint thursday applies to these, but this will look like complete ass the more you wear
the boot is basicly unworn and simple brushing did that
wtf?
a light colored boot with dark brown stains in stagnant areas
it's just going to look fucking dirty, it already does

the point of tea core/overdies is to get a high contrast beween the light areas that get a lot of abrasion and the areas that don't should stay dark, which is most of the boot

>>17589478
It's the Wickett and Craig exclusive through bakers

>>17584366
Are you wearing a suit into the field? Into mines? That makes no sense. And if you’re changing your clothes, you can change your shoes.

There’s just too big of a spread between formal foot ware and workwear. Closest I can think of would be highly polished plain toed calf-skin ropers with a smooth grain. But that would only work in the few states where western wear passes for business apparel.

>>17589511
There is potential for a you will never be real teacore pasta

>>17589040

My only question is the longevity of this "roughout suede"
I have a feeling it scuffs very easily

>>17590323
Its a waxed suede, you just rub some wax over a scuffed area and it will look like new

>parkhurstbrand
>carminashoemaker
>divisionroadinc

any recommendations?

>>17590459
recs for what?

>>17590323
That is why they call it rough-out, because it scuffs and gets a rough look quickly. But like >>17590437 says you can just rub some dubbin on it to renew the look

>>17589685
What boots are those?

>>17589689
It's jotex.at, and that shit does not look legit

>>17585154
Just to update on these, I am having a bit of trouble with the fit
The tongue just bites into my feet really hard. It's really not soft or flexible and instead of curving upwards it just digs into me.

It's overall way more stiff than any other sneaker I've ever owned, I guess because it's made of real leather and lining and needs some breaking in. I hope.

I will try the second insoles they come with (the flat ones) that should hopefully give a bit more room between the tongue and my instep

roughout is the best type of suede, it's a regular hide just turned inside out instead of splitting like normal suede, the waxing adds additional durability and water resistance

>>17590503
>That is why they call it rough-out

>>17590610
you can try purposely overflexing the tongue with your hand, sometimes that can give you a little more comfort

>>17590672
C&J 'rough-out' suede is a split suede.

>>17590687
shame on them if true

>>17590693
Nothing wrong with it, its a really nice and comfortable leather but its their cheapest offering for a reason.


Our Rough-Out Suede is a split suede. It is technically a waxed split suede although there are processes involved that make it independent from the classic ‘repello’ suede. For example, it is drummed less than a ‘softer’ repello suede.
The main qualities of this particular material is that it is fully waterproof and ‘roughs up’ during wear giving it a very casual appearance.
Kind regards,

James

>>17590675
That is literally what they say, retard. It's not rough-out as in turned inside out. It's regular suede they've decided to call rough-out because it gets a rough look with wear.

Anyone know what boot this is? Can't really pinpoint it. Not C&J and not tricker's as far as I can tell

What does /boot/ think about leather Lems? Not so much about style but about quality.

>>17591961
And to kind of give more insight into this question and choice, Im interested in a nicer shoe but also I want barefoot style. I was suggested to just order a Wider boot if I wanted more room so maybe thats an option.

ive just learned about the existence of gaucho ninja
how the fuck is nobody undercutting them. this shit is $900

>>17592090
Its not a random guess if I just read some reviews. As for the boot vs barefoot Ive concluded that a wide sizing is similar to barefoot style for toe room but barefoot shoes aim to have less of a heel padding while boots have a thick heel.

>>17592081
review please?

>>17592125
i give it a tranny heel/10

>>17591970
Lems and similar have a true wider toe box. Look at Topo Athletic. You would have to size up big time in regular brands. Homosexuals are the ones who design shoes and their ideal foot belongs to a 14 yo Twink.

w2c boots?

>>17592251
japanese type 2 combat boots

>>17592251
i don't know where you would get japanese type 2 combat boots. seems too niche to import.

>>17591961
my only objection to LEMS is their smooth air-injected rubber sole/treads. It looks almost plastic, and prone to slipping

>>17591980
the only other alternative I can think of is the Bearfoot Bruin Boot (~$250), which I might get once it gets back to the colder seasons.
I wish there were more of this type of boot to pick from, and ones actually made of better material than the typical synthetic offerings from pretty much every other barefoot shoe company.

Noob bro here ..
Are Parkhurst's a good brand overall ?
Whats the difference between lets say a Parkhurst boot and Tricker's in terms of build and materials used ? Any major red flags that Parkhurst has going on for them ?
how do they look after 1 year of wear ?

my docs came in
wow they are comfortable, glad i got a size up because they literally fit perfectly

lmao

>>17594107
Bro what is this

>>17594107
thats just downright nasty. look at how flat it is. no depth of color from this plastic coated shit

>>17594122
those are his docs. they fit him perfectly.

>>17594042
Look for Austrian Feldschuh-Schwer. Can easily be found on jotex.at for cheap.

any good deals today?

Recommend me a good pair of black dress boots.
>leather sole
>wide width
>decent arch support preferred, but not necessary
What are my options for this?

>>17594156
I've always thought they looked good, but not ~800 good, or even the ~750 discount good at the beginning of the year.
I just can't justify that much for stitchdown boot

>>17594166
when you say dress boot do you mean with closed facings like pic related

>>17594166
or open like pic related

>>17594172
Preferably, but I can make do with a derby style if that's what it takes to get a better fit.

I recommend Yanko boots from Skolyx
https://www.skolyx.se/en/boots/888-yanko-balmoral-boot-black.html


Or the uncapped toe Diesel boots from Grant Stone, these are always plenty wide and run a half size larger than you should order
https://www.grantstoneshoes.com/collections/boots/products/diesel-boot-black-chromexcel-rubber-sole

And one I always liked is the cap-toe lakeshore boot from Oakstreet. (these run narrow)

>>17594170
desu Parkhurst is the same silhouette for less

>>17594098
it's a good boot for the price, but i think grant stone is overall superior in every respect if you don't care where the boot is made
people like parkhurst overall, but the crazy hype from a few years back for the brand kind of died down
their mission statement from the beginning was a GYW "made in america" boot for around $300 and that appealed to a lot of redditors looking for a intro boot
in the last year or so they outsourced production (to spain?), which goes against their founding principles
supposedly "supply chain issues", you be the judge of how much of a red flag that is
in general they use high quality leather from respected tanneries for the uppers, the construction is good and the boot should last for years and is resolable
as a minor negative is that they use some mystery rubber outsole, that is cheaper to produce than using name brand soles like vibram or dainite
compared to trickers, parkhurst boots are really plain, trickers uses more elaborate patterns (if that matters to you), trickers is made in the UK and has fancy royals warrants to back it up (if that matters), the leathers are more formal, parkhurst uses generally more rugged wearing leathers, trickers uses name brand outsoles

>>17594205
thank you fren for in depth answer ! just the info i was looking for all condensed in one post

KeK prevails

>>17594205
>but i think grant stone is overall superior in every respect if you don't care where the boot is made
thats kinda wrong because parkhurst has a better LOOKING last and now uses leather heel counters. theyre pretty much the same quality
both use mystery meat outsoles now but i cant imagine the parkhurst outsoles are worse than grant stones which are perfectly ok

the real issue is i think right now theyre overpriced
its basically $400 for a boot from them while the cheapest grant stones are $330. the seconds are also way too pricey when grant stone seconds can be had for thursday money

>>17594229
ooh interesting perspective

>>17590508
Basic calfskin ropers from Justin. Who knows the model, but they’ve made similar pairs since they were founded.

How often should I be conditioning my boots? I've got a pair of work boots I wear when working in a bar, so they're often getting wet and covered in booze and whatnot. I want to keep them looking neat because it is a classier venue. Should I be using a polish if I want to keep them shiney? Or is just conditioner and buffing the hell out of them with a brush enough?

>>17594353
if they get wet a lot polish them more often.

>>17594353
You should waterproof them with beeswax, but other than that every 6 to 8 weeks condition them, and brush them after you take them off.
