So far my collection consists of a 10+ year old pair of Alden 405's that I bought used but are still going strong, a 5 year old pair of Thursday Captains (Brown) and a 2 year old pair of Thursday Captains (Arizona Adobe). I was looking for something tough that I could beat up and be a little more adventurous with (I have a 2 week trip to Europe this winter that I had in mind while shopping) and the White's MP seemed like the perfect fit.

Unfortunately I'm not to pleased with what I received this week. They are tough like I was looking for and the leather is gorgeous but I honestly feel like far more care was put into the construction of my $200 Thursday boots than these $700 MPs. On both pairs the upper seems to be pulled too far underneath the arch when its stitched down, which looks sloppy in my opinion. On both pairs the stitching on the sole goes right through the lugs and the Dainite logo is cut off which I've never seen before. I tried to capture it in the photos but the sole also bulges out right under the arch which is strange. Everything about the construction seems sloppy and rushed. There are also several scuffs and deep scratches, not the end of the world as I didn't really plan to baby these but I feel like I've seen people on here find seconds in better condition. For the money and the wait I'm pretty disappointed overall.

To top it all off they're easily a full size too large. Which is frustrating after sending in measurements and speaking on the phone about sizing. The toes also seem far more rounded than I was expecting based on the photos I'd seen. That may just be me or the fact that they're far too big but it still stood out.

I'll be reaching out about a return for the sizing and other issues but I would like input on whether or not its even worth trying to get another pair. Should I save my money and grab a pair of Iron Rangers (also on my list), Grant Stones or go for Viberg or something in a similar price range? I do love this style and leather so I'd like something similar if possible and a good boot that will hold up over time.

I do love a good boot thread. Have some paramemes.

>>17709712
What does that have to do with the high arch? They can just sand it closer but they won't.

>>17709143
just copped some natty cxl tricker's, gonna bathe them in the sun for a few months when not wearing them.

>>17709712
yeah I know. I figured that anyone that knows boots would find the while thing funny because it obvious this guy had no clue what a pnw boot is. the only small issue is the oversized sole but they probably just ran out of the correct size

hes complaining about scuffs in waxed flesh and praising Thursday qc so I think hes just brain damaged

>>17709627
>>17709628
I have to ask all the Whites fanboys out there. Why not thin out the heel so that there isn't so much extra material in the back? There is no need for it anyway since the stitching isn't 360.

Just seems like an unnecessary shelf for water and mud to gather on and slowly over time seep into the boot.

>>17710029
imo its not an issue. super close trims look weird to me

>>17709407
Tribal boots

>>17710029
should have gotten the slanted heel, they're trimmed much closer. in fact the heel on my bounty hunters are much closer than my vibergs

Is buying through bakers the only way to get whites with any QC at all?

>tfw getting leather boots custom-made by a local boot maker
is there a better feel? I showed him exactly what I want and he sized me there in the shop using some completed shoes. $750. I'll post them here once they're done.

>>17711058
I've been thinking of doing a day trip to Austria for a while now, they have some relatively cheap bespoke shoemakers over there. Just not sure if they can actually make me the kind of boot i would want, since most of the focus on dressy wholecuts and stuff.

thoughts?
i want something nice but for hiking too, these are mountain boots so i think they work well, how do they look?

>>17711408
Dude, if you want to hike in the mountains then go for safety first, or do you believe the rescuers will care about your look ? For fuck sakes, every summer it's always the same kind of dipshit falling, always. Beside mountain boots are shit.

>>17711511

How are the solovair boots?
The only reviews I find are reddit users saying I should buy $1200 boots instead because those will be better

previous thread there was a boot anon saying >In Slovenia, there is this guy I temporarily forgot the name. It's also mountain/ hiking boots, a bit too chunky.
Got the link anon ?

>>17711543
Literal garbage. All of their stock is trash. They will replace your trash pair with another trash pair until you request a refund. They're also ugly and worn by redditors.

This is just a retard that doesn’t know how to center a tongue or lace is boots properly

>>17711555
Nup. If you don't care about autistically drawing lines on bird's eye view pictures of boots then just get solovairs. They are not 'literal garbage' as the other guy says but they are by no means great boots.

>>17711565
All of the people at soloshit that make the boots apparently are that retard, because they don't have any pairs with centered tongues and it doesn't matter how you lace them, when all of the pieces are misaligned and sowed on crooked.

>>17711555
Don't think so. Either buy shityass docs on sale or get milsurp or just buy dan post milwaukee boots. Also don't listen to ape shills like >>17711573. Solovairs are literally unwearable. You can see it in the image. If you enjoy having two different frakenclown boots then go for it.

Are rothco jump boots any good? Looks like they're at least stitched and have a metal shaft, but I'm guessing they're not super long-lasting at that price point.
If they're not going to last, any recommendations for something similar? I'm not married to them by any means, I'd rather "buy once cry once".

Speaking as someone who started wearing cheap boots and then upgraded to the $600+ tier of boots, it is absolutely worth putting aside that much money for a pair of boots. The quality of the leather and boots construction, as well as the shape of the last is going to make your experience wearing your boots much better. Higher quality leathers will tend to patina much more aesthetically, and you will be able to get multiple resoles throughout the lifetime of the boot. Do not cheap out with a pair of boots. If you do this, you will go through multiple pairs of cheap boots until you come to the realization that spending a little more money at the start really is the better decision. Assuming you're not working fast food, you can manage to budget this within a few months by setting aside $200-300 dollars each month while maybe cutting back on eating out all the time. $600-700 dollars for a pair of footwear that will last you decades really is not a lot of money in the big picture

>>17715286
im only earn £22500 a year. thats a grand over minimum wage. i cant justify that much money on a pair of boots

>>17715295
Nigga, how old are you and what work do you do? If you are 22+ years old, you need to figure something else out. Might as well join a trade at that point. Very accessible work without the necessity of a college degree, and you will have a high ceiling of income you can earn throughout your lifetime

>>17710629
fracaps are nice and "cheap". Paraboot avoriaz are really cool too, but kinda different vibe

>>17715268
>my budget is 260 dollars max
Winter is months away so technically you do not even need boots right now. Why not just save for like 2-3 more months more then you can afford something more high quality?

Dunno what you can get for 260 dollars but even Iron Rangers seems to be going for 350 dollars right now so you won't even be able to get those. So if I were you I'd at least wait two months more and then you can get yourself a pair of Red Wings, if you can save 100 dollars during that time. If you can save more then you can get something even more high quality than that.

>>17715338
>Winter is months away

Nice boots, but actually plan on using your tools for a purpose, instead of looking the part. It's the same that can be said with 'old money' or 'stealth wealth' or 'Grey Man', just a facade.

Another thing to note: if you plan to actually fight in warzones and unfortunately kill people for a purpose, then get proper equipment sets for various environments, all compartamentalized and designed to be repaired and kept in long-term storage. A lot of DMS boots are made with PU, which often cracks and dries. the same can be said for those kneepads, as the plastic and rubber dry rots.No synthetics, either. Have naturally treated, repairable equipment available at hand. Think for a while, as I know you can create a venerable armory.

are shartens really that horrid for poorfag boots
i can get these for way under $100 and there is no way i can spend anything north of $120 or so

>>17715818
They're at least better than soloshitters but for cheap they're an ok buy. I mean what else are you gonna buy? What the fuck are these though? Ugly color plus that fluffy shit on the inside is trash. You wont be able to wear these outside of really cold weather.

>>17715818
They aren't particularly worse then any other cheap plastic boots. Its not like there are some other $100 boots that are really nice you could get instead. Maybe you could find some black Belleville boots for $100 but they don't have the same look

I thought they looked cool too years ago when I was just getting into boots. A month in a grew up and now I think they look like shit. If you can get them for really cheap on a discount they're acceptable I guess. What would be much worse is buying soloshit. The same if not worse quality for a much higher price.

>>17715845
i mean obviously they cost like $150 at least but they're popular enough so you can get them for half of that second hand almost new
soOVER is turbo niche so at best i'd have to by outlet but that's still probably close to $180 since they're like $230 new

>>17716927
yes, my white's are my only boots that squeak.
I don't think its directly a reason they use cork as a filler instead of leather, its just easily and cheap available, quick to work with and does its job well. One of my boots use tarred felt instead of cork as a filler, but i can't really tell a difference.

>>17716948
Whites have cork filler though.

>>17716956
maybe that model does, they now add some canvas layer in between the leather to stop it from squeaking, mine should have that layer already but they still squeak

Just get Franks, Drew's that are $350 are made in Mexico

>>17718520
what about red wings? i like the style and amber harness colour. are they considered good on this board for the money?

>>17718632
they are fine for the money, assuming its one with the leather insole. They are stupidly ugly though.

>>17718635
sorry i meant to say iron ranger 8111 specifcally

>>17718642
yea the iron ranger is what im talking about

>>17718650
are there iron rangers without a leather insole?

>>17718653
apparently some newer iron rangers didn't come with a leather insole. Just look at it to confirm it yourself. The ones i had about a year ago had a leather insole.

>>17718656
you think they are ugly but you own some?

>>17718659
yes, and i don't anymore.

>>17718663
okay how about thursday presidents? are they complete dog shit?

>>17718666
yes, apart from the horrid quality their lasts are also stupidly ugly. Just get Grant Stone.

>>17718676

Are Vibergs even resolable at this point? Why use such a tight stiching when its stitchdown and resoles need to be restitched to the upper every time? On a goodyear welted boot it obviously wouldn't matter but the kind of stitch spacing Nicks/Whites uses makes a lot more sense to me if you're gonna be doing stitchdown/handwelted.

>>17718676
im still as poor as i was two days ago

>>17718685
if you can consider red wing you can buy grant stone.

>>17718687
i was more dreaming desu

As if that is bad, malding so hard.

>>17718689
>for the same price you get one made in the U.S. by a company that actually specializes in PNW boots
Yeah it is bad.

>>17718656
>newer iron rangers
Stop spreading false gossip Ahmed, only the wedge sole version does not have leather insole.

>>17718682
>Make sense for Handwelted
Elaborate. You do realize handWELT has a replaceable welt right.

>>17718666
>are thursday dogshit

>>17718691
>Franks
No leather toe stiffener, no pre molded insole
>Same
Heh
Tbf, that is a great price tag for boots made like that, that bring the question if they are losing money for every pair they sell.

>>17718682
>Why use such a tight stiching
muh heckin dress work boot to show off on reddit

>>17718704

There is a good chance they are on labor.

People who are into high end shoes tend to gravitate towards either oxfords or boots, usually both.
It's never derbies or loafers or monks.

I just realized this.

>>17718682
My 2040s are according to Baker’s and White’s.

>>17718793
I don't know if my tastes are "high end" but as someone who's job requires I wear a suit every day I'm a massive fan of loafers.
Though I have a particular love for old man tassel loafers, as I'll wear my oxfords or boots for sleeker looks.

>>17718793
>loafers or monks.
those are for pooftas

What boots work with basic summer fits?

>>17719076

Do yourself a favor and take them to a professional shoe repair to get cleaned.
Paid 75$ cad to get mine resolved (brought my own outsoles) and cleaned, and the difference is night and day. They used to be all dull and waxy. 2006 paramemes I wear for the past like five winters and whenever it rains. I love these boots.

>>17709137
are those barbie boots? lmao

i am glad they worked out for you

Been wearing my lofgrens the last 4 months. I’ve worn Whites and Wescos and these blow all of those out of the park. Comfort is unmatched, and I love how the horsehide teacore is wearing in

>>17719258
Is the right vamp made out of paper?

>>17719124
>>17719141
I've had these resoled at a local cobbler about 5 years ago with Vibrams. And when I got them I went through and cleaned them pretty good. Saddle soap over all the uppers, disinfectant shoe spray inside, new insoles, and then mink oil. Polished them up a few days later after all the oil soaked in. The original soles were so worn down and curled up they were practically unwearable when I got them. I also have a new pair coming from Kommandostore when they had the presale for new production boots earlier this year. My favorite shit kickers.

>>17719124
>>17719141
Kino

Anyone know of any other style/genre of boots like this? I call them “blade runner boots” since they have a modern yet futuristic look and the fit nice with an overcoat, sweater and dark jeans. (I do my winter shopping in the summer and summer shopping in the winter)

>>17719290

dang, those look like shit. how old are they? do you use shoe trees?

>>17719078

>>17719799
those are not mine, also im pretty sure thats the brown dress leather and the guy said they are fairly new lmao

should I get?

>>17719816

I've been wearing my White's today, they have been really nice in terms of comfort.

saw this on SF

looks painful

>>17719816
>boots touching
looks like somebody wants their guts rearranged

>>17719824
why would they be painful? Looks like bonafe, they have great lasts.

>>17719827
look at the bulge over the welt, it's way too narrow
it's bemer not bonafe but the welt looks sick anyway

>>17719816
danners? you have my vote anon

>>17719828
i love the welt bonafe does, didn't know bemer does it too on the casual stuff.

>>17719823
nice boots, can you tell me who makes the trousers?

>>17719832
those are regular fit orslow fatigue pants in khaki

>>17717529
This pic made me ask: Would you cop an everyday casual nasa-style boot? AI generated.

>>17719829

Version 2

>>17719833
thank you

Has anyone tried resoling the paramemes with wedge soles like the vibram 2021? I'd be curious to see if the silhouette resembles the Dior navigates?

>>17719834
>>17719838
kinda cool desu

>>17719834
Wasn't there a shoe that was basically this that was really trendy years ago

>>17720505

yikes

neat vid

>>17719824
Looks like a one hour wear max

>>17719834
yea but not so over the top like that, if you are into lunar core then you can achieve it without being over the top, its more about the the color pallette, but yea those look cool, could pull off in the winter
>>17719838
those are better but too high for me would do a mid top

>>17719290
i have a pair of lofgren donkey punchers coming in november and desu i am worried about the sizing. out of curiosity what is your brannock and what size did you get? i am 10ee and went with their recommendation of 9.5e, but in my white's i have a 9e that's snug but comfy after the break in was over.

>>17721444
Yeah what is your point though?

Carmina has their GMTO event up
You can order past MTO stuff from this page and they give you free shoetrees.

>>17721458
Yeah what is your point though?

I ordered from Bonafe last year and they said it takes 4 months to order but their arrived in 2

I ordered from Bonafe this year and they said it takes 5 months to order and we are already at 4.5

I do not want to bother them because I'm not an insensitive pig in a time of mourning so I will bitch here instead

>>17721467
you're gonna get enzo peter or enzo john shoes now instead of bonafe

>>17721467
looks like they are quite busy lately, I've been waiting 4 months now too.

Makes me wonder how many beaners have gotten stabbed because they accidentally poked somebody with them.

When thread is dying, pig dog OP posts ugly boots to bump.

Are myrqvist boots shite? I like how they look and apparently they have a wide last, which is perfect for me. Also they are relatively cheap. Why shouldn't I buy these?

Alden, C&J, or Trickers. Pic related are my Stows.

>>17721726
They were $220 btw. Look at ebay you can grab nib pairs of Alden and Trickers for half off.

>>17721667

thats a lotta leather

Yes, it's well built.
But that translates into: stiffness, gets hot, squeaks

Black Rifle Coffee Company is a scam, ran by a parasite who denounces and rallies against those who actually fit the bill of their image, Kyle Rittenhouse being one. Their lukewarm attitude shall lead them to irreparable doom.
>>17721897
Garbage. Buy boots with a rubber cupsole, that is then stitched to the uppers. Guidi x Yohji Yamamoto is a great example of said cupsole.

>>17721726
