>tfw can only wear my leather shit once a month
feels bad man
It's odd tho because I'm barefoot most of the time, it must be the shit tier genetics

>>17775586
If you have the fund and is willing to part with it, commission Bespoke footwear.

Ever think about a jacket?

This is the only skinny fit outfit I like that Ive seen in my entire life

you need a better shoe last

>>17776944
Most shoes last don’t cater to bunion. He gonna need like, what? 4E?

>>17776703
Too casual probably but it's a good style, most jobs don't require that high a degree of formality.

>>17776703
What job?

>>17775564
Bexley absolutely sucks, never buy anything from there
200 is slightly too little, in my experience it's worth spending 100/150 extra bucks and getting something that will be 2X higher quality

>>17775805
u look good bro
what kind of belt is that?
wish i didnt have gyno so i could wear shirts like that, i gotta wear graphic tees to hide it

>>17777333
Bexley is office worker cheapo stiched shoes that is slightly better than glued mall crap What is your experience with them?
>200
The sticky is for baby first decent welted shoes,
The range of 350-400 is a bit huge, it will take time to compile

>>17777169
infinite E on the wrong last won't make a difference

look to the munson last for proper foot shape shoes

>>17777676
The Munson don't cater to bunion foot.

Call the fashion gestapo.

you guys dabbed on them in the boot thread but I like em, simple as. cape buffalo hide with an antelope skin tongue

>>17775564
this seems like a more appropriate thread to ask instead of the boot thread. can you guys recommend me a nice pair of black dress shoes? i have some weird feet so i am hoping you can help. i have been cursed with a ridiculously high arch/instep and wide feet, but i am hoping to avoid the total bespoke route. i'm also worried about oxford style shoes since the high arch/instep might make the facings look weird. any advice is helpful.

>>17777845
>two toned boots

>>17777955
Carmina has some high instep lasts.
What is your budget?

>>17778065
Avatarfag fucks off and hangs yourself.

>>17778366
$600, but desu if there is really no other options i can think about stretching it a little more. i don't need these anytime soon, so i've got time to save. what lasts would you recommend looking at for carmina?

>>17778439
Enzo Bonafe does high instep.

Italian and their love for high instep last.

>>17778439
Supposedly the Arta and Detroit. Do try Enzo Bonafe if you can afford to.

>>17778531
>>17778923
i appreciate the help. any tips on what retailers offer the best deals for them?

>>17778704
i find C&J to be similar in the instep to bonafe.

>>17778923
Oscar is fairly high in the instep too, more width and volume than 363mod too.

Can someone rec me some leather sandals? It's fucking hot and humid here.

has anyone tried these?

>>17781119
fuckin hell m8, please don't

>>17780456
These Dinkelackers seem nice if you like fisherman style sandals. Considered them myself as my feet get really sweaty in the heat but they are kinda pricey

weirdly i don't hate them

Skoaktiebolaget

>>17777843
There is literally nothing wrong with that, though. The key was distressed faded jeans.

>>17781697
Everything is wrong with that, Oxfords don't go with jeans.

>>17781119

>>17775564
I mostly wear loafers. No real care for them other than using shoe trees and doing light cleaning whenever they look dirty with a damp cloth. Leather shoes often look better beat up and aged so no real reason to baby them.

>>17781122
>>17782226
overreacting, they are perfectly fine (in pictures)

>>17775564

>>17777845
I feel like this only looks okay when you are in the woods or fishing. Goofy af in town.

These have to be (shoddily done) repro of some WW2 boots.

>>17775564
Will used leather shoes break into your foot shape like new? Or has the ship already sailed?
I always buy new shoes but i was considering trying second-hand to be able to afford a wider shoe collection.

>>17775586
>bunions
Are you from 1923?

I've always wanted to wear nice leather boots but I just can't justify the investment at my 5'8 stature.

>>17788190
Leather has memory, so no.
If the old wearers feet approximate yours, then it should be good enough.

>>17785420
Are these for a fucking baby??

in awe at how you "people" shitfling over a bunch of shoes that all look the same

>>17790258
so give it a try with laced shoes but probably avoid loafers then?

>>17787049
wrong, they're soviet work boots
>kirza everywhere
>leather vamp
>rubber soles fixed with brass nails

>>17790542
That wont make a difference; just try to find lightly used shoes.

Is a banker supposed to wear boots…?

>>17791327
Didnt realize they are that ugly.

congrats, you are all just literally homosexual slobbering over a guy in good shape in the most basic outfit imaginable

>>17794827
Compare these to the American service boots, or the French ranger, or the German boots, they just look weirdly blobby. No thanks.

>>17795049
Indeed they look based and masculine unlike western garbage

>>17795049
>blobby
they're extremely sleek and low drag

>>17775564
I wear Keen steel toe work shoes and Redwing King Toe boots.
Keen is the only company that releases a stream of waterproof steel toe work shoes and they are pretty durable and comfortable.

>>17782439
Some people like the polished up look of leather dress shoes.
Cloth and brush buffing work wonder, however, eventually you will still need to rehydrate the leather.

>>17790302

>>17777845
It's like an unholy mutt of oxford shoes and converse nigger sneakers. Perfect for a modern American.

>>17795796
what does this have to do with oxfords?

>>17775805
what type of pants is that can anyone help

I ordered a pair of Derbys from Idrese. What am I in for?

i have new 1460 doc marten brown boots

how did i go ??

>>17796822
anything from Heidi era SLP.

>>17796888
Getting mugged by joggers.

I'm going to Italy (Florence and Rome) in early October. I've heard there's a good leather market in Florence. Has anyone been there, and can you make any suggestions for getting a decent pair of loafers? I know there's some incredible custom stuff, but that'll run me anywhere from $1000-3000, and I'm looking to be a bit below that.

>>17797363
supposedly Vivian Saskia Wittmer or Mannina, the Bemer is good but not sure if they are below 3K.
You can just ask your hotel for sur mesure scarpe.

>>17796822
They're just black skinny jeans dude

>>17794174
exactly how snowy are we talking here
are your winters wet or dry
do you put salt on your roads

Anyone have something from Oak Street Bootmakers? I've been looking for a new pair of casual shoes, and like the look of their Trench Oxford, but I've never seen them in person or know anyone who has any shoes from them.

>>17801090
I have their ptbs and camp mocs. They're both nice, but I don't think they use the best cuts of chromexcel, both have various imperfections like inconsistent dye and loose grain. They're well made though

>>17801090
What the fuck are those!? LOLOL

I love my leather thigh high socks they totally make my AGAMP fantasies come to life!

>>17801095
>>17801090

These are the ptbs. I'd suggest brown over black unless you have some specific reason you want black

>>17801102
autogynephile core

>>17801095
>>17801107
Thanks. I think I'll pull the trigger on them. I want black because I already have a pair of casual leather shoes in brown, and have recently bought some pants in colors which I think fit more naturally with black.

>>17801591
Makes sense. Don't forget to sign up for the newsletter to get a discount code, unless they happen to be on sale already

>>17794174
Orbans has this on their website with limited sizes.

>>17802644
They've definitely taken inspiration from the ginkgo boot.

not sure if you guys are into that, but what are the nicest military boots ?
pic rel is a m92 dutch jungle boot apparently.

>>17802801
Austrian paramemes or french army rangers

>>17802801
as much as they are meme'd to death. The American WW2 Service Boots are a solid design.

Crown Northhampton Cordovan Sneakers
Yes or no?

>>17803082
waste of cordovan.

How to you deal with extra pressure at the front of the foot due to dress shoes having higher heels and thus putting more weight on the front when compared to other shoe types? My feet feel tired after wearing a pair...

>>17803082
They are well built in a dress shoes perspective; translate that to sneakers and you get a heavy, stiff, non flexible sneakers.
Sounds great on paper but problematic IRL.

>>17803217
Don't torture yourself wearing badly designed shoes.

>>17803236
What do you mean badly? The heel is just higher than the front of the foot which puts more weight on the front. My feet aren't used to this.

>>17803217
>>17803260
You need to strengthen your feet first. I suggest wearing converse shoes with the insoles taken out, to strengthen your feet. Then, you’ll be able to wear all kinds of shoes. It will make your feet muscles stronger, so it may cause size changes.

>>17803260
well-designed high heels shouldn't cause this.

>>17803290
The heel of the shoes in question is only 3-4cms high.
>>17803269
Okay....

>>17803269
>>17803296
If you really want to strengthen your feet get some "barefoot sandals", and watch a couple youtube videos shilling their benefits. The people that talk about them really, really like strengthening their feet

Speaking of leather, where would I go about getting some nice leather suspenders that aren't $600?

>>17803296
If they cause pain, they are no good. Stop trying to be the step sister in Cinderella.
