Thoughts on Redwing heritage moc-toe quality and comfort? do they differ from the iron ranger.
Any better brands I similar style?
I don't like whites boots because they sew the uppers on overseas.

>>17849325

>>17849330
they probably just showed them sewing in Spokane for the video, nobody would buy the boots if the saw the actual nignogs who sew them.

>>17849325
>quality and comfort?
excellent and the 875s will always be the most comfortable in the heritage line because of the crepe sole. It will wear fast but that will be the tradeoff. Wear cushioned darn tough socks for max comfy

you're thinking of allen edmonds, meermin, thursdays, etc

>>17849333

no whites also does this now

What type of boot would you wear with this outfit? Im looking for a black engineer boot probably

Sorry, didn't realize you were black.

>>17849325
I happen to own 875s and IRs. The 875s have a roomier toe box, not enough to go down half a size (if you got IRs or any RW boot, get the same size) but fefinitively the room is there. They're as easy if not more to break in as IRs. I thought that the wedge sole would be softer and more cushioned than it really is, footbed is a bit harder than expected. But overall a comfy boot if you're gonna stay in your feet for long periods of time.
Also the leather of the 875s gets a lot of rich undertones as it ages, so the more you wear them, the better they look.
I'm very happy with mine and I didn't even like moc toes at first.

Why do brands like Viberg and GS not have 6 inch boots? They are around 5 inches

>>17849476
Thanks for your reply, it is very informative and helpful. I am gonna pull the trigger on a pair.
Do you like the 875s or the iron rangers better?

kinda sus whats going on here

>>17849489
They're hard to compare because they're very different aestheticalywise. The IRs are my goto everyday boot, I wear them with jeans and flannels or sometimes I dress them up a bit with smart casual or even business caual, with chinos, ocbds and stuff like that. I'd say they're more versatile than the mocs.
I've got a couple other service type boots, but I don't think I'll get another moc until it's time to replace the 875s.

>>17849490
Kill yourself.

I call them my shit kickers

>>17849073
NICKERS??? What the fuck is this

>>17849325
mocs and caps are pleb tier

Hope you win the patina thunderdome, bro

Drew's 55 last casual boot looks like shit because the heel is too short. it needs to extend to right before the end of the counter cover
amazing that they havent realized this

If you get them in black and have pants covering the shaft they pass for cap toe oxfords

>>17849964
people wear suits with sneakers nowadays. rules of formality are dead

>they pass for cap toe oxfords
you will never be real oxfords. you have no closed face lacings, you have no close trim sole

clearly the color rubbing off is your fault

jesus those comments
so obviously a thursday employee alt account they bought from an indian bot farm, random letters and numbers in name, created 6 years ago, no comments until 15 days ago all in thursday subreddit
says he owns a different pair of thursday boots and belts in every comment, from mens to womens models, gives fitting advice, leather comparisons, comarisons of thursdays boot lines
the most he's willing to admit that QC is spotty, followed immidiately by praising their "awsome customer support" and them being the most comfortable boot he ever wore

thursday is such a fucking scam

>>17850067
thanks for the analysis inspector gadget

>>17850067
that OP is such a fucking retard, he mentions using saphir AND a fucking kirby allison brush. Like he decided to buy high quality conditioners and care products for a bottom of the barrel product

i don't love either of these suggestions, but thank you for the effort

Where do you guys buy sneakers?

I bought these earlier this year. At first I hated them, really tough to break in and squeaky.
Eventually they softened and I removed the thick insole they came with and they've become extremely good.

Only problem is, with all the leather and lining and all of that they get hot. Not good for summer.

>>17850153
i got sneakers from them too like 2 years ago, i barely wear sneakers, but they are fine. Goral is another option.

>>17850153
i got the ones from baker's, leather heel counters but mutt mystery leather. decent for sub 200

>with all the leather and lining and all of that they get hot. Not good for summer.
yeah same experience, bought they to wear in the summer but they ended up being warmer than my handsewn mocs

>>17849264
Is renovateur conditioner good for central European, slightly eastern European climate? Or do I need something stronger?

>>17850191
if its very rainy just give it a coat of wax every now and then, wouldn't use renovateur in most cases, just some saphir leather lotion.

>>17850193
What's the difference between these lotions and creams? I have coccain (or whatever it's called) cream

>>17850211
The saphir creams generally have more wax content, also pigments if needed.

>>17850221
Do I need any other products? Do you guys buy something to add polish and shine? It's not mentioned in the op.

>>17850233
reno already will give a slight shine, just use a horsehair brush to buff it

>>17849992
>TLB
just because some dont follow the rules does not mean the rules dont apply

>>17850153
400 dollar sneakers? Why?

>>17849434
I recommend you buy real boots

>>17849992
I just wear boots everywhere, both in formal and casual occasions, like people used to do. As a bonus they make me taller.

>>17850211
I use picrel, has no silicone and not too much wax. It hardly darkens the color, which goes back to the original after a day or two, and leaves very little residue if at all.

>>17850256
cowboy boots arent?

>>17850291
cowboys aren't real, so their boots aren't either

>>17850265
everyone can tell that's why you wear them, short king

i'd buy that for a dollar

What are thoughts on Chelsea's? I have a pair of chukkas in suede dark Grey already. What is the agreed upon finish and colorway for Chelsea's?

Best brand I can get used for under $150 reliably?

where can i get a pair of boots with this kind of silhouette and also similar as in: no lace, not chelsea (maybe a zipper), but perhaps in brown or black

>>17850410

Are there alternatives that have the same bottom half profile, but dont have the height and extra straps etc?

If I buy size too small, does that lower longevity if the boost? I can stretch them, but it'll leave wrinkles

>>17850482

Are colored laces cringe? I like the look of red laces on my corcoran jump boots since I wear a lot of red but I feel I'd look silly or edgy

>brand new white sneakers
>it's perfectly dry out
>walk to my car
>drive to office
>drive back home
>shoes perfectly white
>laces already have a brown stain on them like mud
Why the fuck does this keep happening?
My shoes are clean, I don't walk in the dirt, but the laces get dirty every fucking time.

Is it true that Whites normal width is equivalent to European "G" (wide)?

I was looking through East West Apparel for Whites boots and they all have normal width and was about to give up.

>>17850669
Red laces on black cmbat boots are a staple of redskins. But unless you look the part, I doubt many people would make the connection or even notice.

>>17850811
lol not at all, they are maybe like C&J 325, maybe slightly more volume but lower instep.

I wonder what the relation between the leather (quality, tanning, etc) and how much a product altrrs the color is.
I used a product on my Beckmans and they didn't change color at all. Used the same product on some old beaten cheap boots I had lying around and they went from light brown, almost tan, to dark brown.

>>17850829
I've got short hair, but that's due to medical issues. I'll give it a go tomorrow at work and see the reaction I get. If it looks dumb then I'll immediately know

>>17850839
The thing is that not many people outside of the culture know that, and even those who do, probably know you aren't a skin. If there aren't many skins in your area, odds are nobody would make that connection.

>>17850659
damn
how do you fix that

>>17850846
Here's the neat part, you don't

>>17850869
so the only way out is to cope

>>17850441
White’s MP or Nicks boots in their low heel HNW last with an unstructured toe. Although, I would not recommend arch support unless you’re a manual labourer or have to carry a lot of weight

>>17850871
And learn from mistakes. With time and use those boots will lighten, but probably not back to the original color.

>>17850659
not me, theyre not that dark and Im not gonna post any pics til next week

>order MTO from TLB
>Toni takes 13 days to make the shoes from scratch
>UPS takes 9 days to deliver

Skoak has new Bonafe RTW models on their website.

First is a norvegese boot.

>>17851104
Keep in mind, novegese looks cool but results in a bigass welt

Second is a brown suede chukka.

I would have bought this on the spot if I didn't already have a pair of shoes incoming.
I wanted a suede chukka and the price is good for handwelted shoes.

Third and final is a split toe derby.

It's on the 74945 last which imo is one of the best looking lasts in the world, but I haven't bought anything on it yet.

>>17851112
The toe is meant to be skin stitched so nearly invisible.
I honestly do not see the split at all. Does it even have a split toe?

Anyway to get a similar dover from EG you'd have to fork out at least twice as much.

>>17850948
MPs are just so based bros

>>17851080
UPS is LITERAL dogshit, DHL delivers packages from scandinavia or UK next day, meanwhile UPS takes a good week.

>>17851105
i asked for the big ass welt on one of my MTO pairs, it should be done soon.

>>17851115
not pie crust like EG does it, also you pay a 50eur upcharge for it. No clue how it looks irl yet.

>>17851112
>>It's on the 74945 last which imo is one of the best looking lasts in the world, but I haven't bought anything on it yet.
I agree, but i already need feather at width for 363Mod, i don't want to try something even more narrow.

>>17851115
Cavour currently has an EG Dover on sale for "only" 900€
But only one size 10.5 UK is left

Keep in mind EG is normally +0.5 size from TTS so you need to be 10UK normally

>>17851129
lol this is a return, i remember looking at it and the next day it was gone. Might still consider it.

>>17851120
ups is great in na THOUGH

>>17851115
>The toe is meant to be skin stitched so nearly invisible.
Yes
>I honestly do not see the split at all
It's there
>Does it even have a split toe?
Yep

My TLB split toes are like this, same with Edward Greene Dovers. It's just part of the design, take it or leave it

>>17851120
UPS is the best courier in North America. In the US FedEx is absolute dogshit and USPS is just as bad
DHL is usually bad too in my experience

>>17851136
Ok yes but I've never seen an "invisible" split toe that is this invisible.

Even Meccariello split toes are a little visible.

I did it. Got my first pair of Solovair.
What has happened to me. I used to own one pair of shoes I would wear every day. Now I have 7 pairs and probably going to collect more.

>>17851136
this is not the pie crust that you see from EG and some bespoke makers, its a decorative understitch. Same for TLB, of course.

On the subject of split toes: I own a pair of TLB split toes for about 18 months now (and another currently on the way)
Anyway so I've been wearing them to work maybe once a week for the past year and a half, no issues.
Until this week when I did a bit of a cleanup and polish and wore them again and some guy in the office who is in his 60's and Italian asked me "do you know what your shoes are called?" and I had to pretend to be clueless and said no, then he said they're called Norwegian and he can always tell everything about a guy by just looking at his shoes.
I don't know what he meant by that.

I did not mention to him that he has been wearing some glued tassel loafers every single day since July.

>>17851150
I had someone at work asking how i got my whiskey shell boots so shiny, told him its patent leather.

>>17851152
Oh yeah I got asked (by the same guy!) when I wore my Col8 shell boots to work one day, he asked me if I did a military polish on them.

Sitting opposite me is a vegan girl so I just sat tight and said nothing about the involvement of dead horses here.

>>17851155
Unless i can tell they are passionate (i.e not wearing mall shit) I will continue to act clueless. Not going to correct the guy that said "nice docs" to my Tricker's for example.

>>17851155
>opposite me is a vegan girl so I just sat tight and said nothing

Anyone know if Crockett&Jones actually sells any seconds? Have never seen any and I would like to know if it is possible that someone is selling C&J seconds without saying they are seconds.

>>17851237
Most reputable brands don't sell seconds. Only brands desperate for cash do

>>17851236
well its obviously stitchdown from the images, white's handsewn "stitchdown" looks more like a norwegian

>>17851237
i assume the "seconds" are sold at the factory store, all the northampton brands have one. Plan to visit some time for deals.

sorry if this doesn't fit this general
I got gifted some 100% horse leather motorcycle pants recently
do I have to condition them in the same way I would condition boots? this is the only general I figured could help me

Can't help you unless there's a picture of you wearing them haha for more information you know haha

>>17851254

if anyone that was waiting hasnt died from old age parkhurst has a black boot available

Who makes good "selvedge" jeans that don't look goofy and don't need special care and that you can just throw in the washer like normal jeans?

Basically like Levi's 511 but better quality
Ideally 2% stretchy

>>17850365
Are you getting ropers bro? And Chisos on top? You're either trolling I'm very jelly. Black obviously. Brown boots are for retards.

>>17851401
orslow 2 year wash, not sure if 107 or 105 is more like 511 (i much prefer 105), but its the softest and most stretchy denim ive had without even having any stretch. Also the best artificial fades on any denim.

>>17849264
Are there any tall, almost knee high boots for men? All I find online are for women. I had a pair of Corcoran jump boots for a while and liked those, but want something taller. I know I can get moccasins, but that's not quite what I'm looking for.

>>17851371
>Parkhurst
No one cares anymore we've all moved on with our lives
You can't go over a year without products in stock, come back with shit designs no one wants, make them wait another year before you have good boots again, and still expect people to care
I probably bought 5 pairs of shoes/boots in the time it took Parkhurst to make a kudu Allen available and now I don't want one

>>17851417
yeah I get it. the new pattern with the shorter heel counter and topstitch that sits too close to the top instead of the old collar stich just doeant look right to me
also not being able to do full wide size runs and still often being short of sizes doest help. they're not even a good value option anymore

>>17851254
touch and feel, if it feels dry it needs conditioning

My biggest problem with Parkhurst is how they say they don't make the same boot twice. Each new production run uses different leather.
That wouldn't be a big deal except they never make enough boots to meet demand and sell out instantly

Fuck them

>>17851401
i enjoy naked and famous denim

Thoughts on the Red Wings Blacksmith? How do they compare to similarly priced boots like the Wolverine 1000 Mile?

>>17851813
beckmans over 1000miles anyday

Reminder burgundy is always better than black.

>>17851813
Blacksmith > 1000 Mile.

in the US, are Red Wings cheaper than Grant Stones?

>>17851785
You do realize outside of Portland Oregon is basically redneck Trumpville right? Same with most of Washington

I hate dainite because it slips all the time on marble floors.

>>17851826
red wing but only by $30-$50, weird leathers excepted.

>>17851826
They're pretty comparable in price
With Red Wings you get to feel good about much domestic muh made in USA

What is the point of a 8" boot if they're not actually comfortable to lace all the way up? Pretty much every picture/video I see of people wearing their 8" boots they always skip the ~3 top eyelets. So what is the point of the extra 2 inches?

>>17851547
Pants are optional

>>17851882
those guys are larpers and probably fat so they can't even lace them up in the first place

>>17851882
Nobody fucking wears there boots like that.
Mine are probably the most comfortable pair of footwear I own

>>17851882
freedom of choice? snug them up when you need to

>>17851844
Doesn't that mean you're getting an inferior product with RW? The labor costs are still much cheaper in chinkland.

comment on this sexy ass leather you faggots

English design boots suck. I wish I was American instead, boots there look better. Plus they have tranny heels with amazing arch support

>>17851865
That's what I said dumbass. Portland is a liberal hellscape but most of Oregon, northern California, and Washington is red as fuck

>>17851907
Quality has nothing to do with price

Hello gentlemen, I'd appreciate your help in identifying these. Presumably, they are yohjis, but not sure. Love the design.

fucking lmao

>>17851882
youre looking at fucking onion larpers. but it depends. at work i walk up/down slopes so having them laced up all the way helps with grip and stability. same if i have to get in tight space, i'll roll up my jeans for flexibility

>>17851254
Yes you have to condition them, you should condition them before you wear them because the fibers are likely very brittle if they haven't been conditioned recently.

>>17852042
thought they were vintage or something, idk anon, if they feel dry or squeak when you flex it condition them.

Kato are my favorite selvedge jeans
their 4 way stretch raw selvedge denim is by far the most comfy
not cheap tho

>>17851994
I love Serena so much.

id never buy selvedge jeans with stretch, lol. what a joke. selvedge jeans should be 100% cotton. if you need stretch in your jeans then youre fat, simple as that. every pair of pants ive ever had with 2% spandex or whatever has stretched a shit ton after about 6 months and looks like youre wearing a set of drapes

>>17852087
If your shit stretched that much it sounds like you’re the one who’s fat nigga

>>17851701
It’s beautiful can’t wait

Should I look for the same qualities in leather boots when I shop for leather shoes - for casual and office use? My friend was suggesting Carmina.

>>17852189
What makes a shoe good is the same thing that makes a boot good: materials, attention to detail and welted sole

>>17851889
>Nobody fucking wears there boots like that
not as comfortable as these

>>17851970
Not everything expensive is good.
But everything cheap is shit.

There are material costs and labor costs that remain relatively fixed. Can you not expect better leathers and materials at a higher cost?

>>17851401

grant stone is a way better value than red wing imo. correct me if I'm wrong but RW doesn't have any boot with a leather midsole or heel stack which are standard on grant stone. Also chromexcel looks nicer than most of the leather rw offers

>>17851944
that looks like some shit you would buy from a indian person on etsy

>>17852249
the beckmans have a leather midsole but no heelstack

Are you talking about the sparsely populated towns? There are more cities than just Portland. Spokane is blue as fuck.

Lands don't vote. People do.
The "red" are empty patches of lands which is not where the majority of the population is.

>empty patches of land
No that’s just where all the normal people are you dumb fuck, the PNW isn’t all libtards, they’re all in a few cities as is the case with like every other state in the U.S.

>>17852249
>RW doesn't have any boot with a leather midsole
What kind of midsole do they use then?

to the average person, your horween shell cordovan boots that cost $1300+ look like this >>17852236

People on SF have been talking about how good this boot is and honestly that's pretty damn cheap

Now where to find one from a shop that ships to EU with duties paid and in a non-burgundy color.

>>17852429
Also they are made by Cheaney

>>17852429
>>17852431

Is this some code word for subservient hicks?

You are coping so hard chuddy.

>>17852429
I could not find it at my size. Searched maybe 10 mins.

Cheaney does have this Veldtschoen boot but I don't think it's Zug.
It's the only one they have in G width.

Anyway that's very expensive and not as good of a deal.

>>17852450
Paul Sargent makes one kinda similar too
>https://www.afinepairofshoes.co.uk/collections/derby-boots/products/paul-sargent-cambridge-mahogany
But also more expensive than the Hoggs one

>>17852249
Why is leather heel stack important? WW2 boots have no leather heel stack at all, just 1 piece of rubber.

>>17852453
other than aesthetics its irrelevant

>>17852453
>>17852518
for one the heel can wear faster than the rest of the sole depending on how you walk. if you have a heel stack you can have a cobbler replace just the rubber on the heel for peanuts vs replacing an entire sole. it also means you can change the height/shape/ of the heel without changing the rest of the sole.
how do you niggas dont know this, do you just wear doc martens?

>>17852410
iron ranger has no midsole at all
classic moc has a rubber slip sole that the crepe is glued to
I guess the beckman does have one though but I can't even find them selling it in the US

>>17852731
What boot is that

>>17852731
>for one
I'm tempted to stop reading after this.

1 piece of rubber means 1 whole rubber piece acts as the entire heel, like on WW2 boots, not that the entire sole and heel is in 1 piece like an unit sole. Then, they could be replaced like you mentioned, without replacing the sole

For once, load your brains first before replying.

>>17852802
Nig's Ranger in walnut

I'm thinking of ordering a pair of dark brown suede chelseas for the office simply because they should be extremely comfy

Is it gay though?

Alternatively I thought about doing Carmina's "waxy commander" leather for less gayness, but I'd have to do an MTO for width anyway so I'd go with ridgeway sole to be lower profile.

>>17852831
If you need to ask if its gay. Its probably gay.

>>17852831
only wholecut chelseas are not gay

>>17852731
>I can't even find them selling it in the US
Beckmans got discontinued around 2019-2020.

>>17849264
Can somebody ID the boots or suggest something similar that Brian Kernighan is using here?

>>17851547
I dont like these pants or the colour of the boots, anyone got better inspo

>>17852807
Why do Nicks and White's etc stitch both stitches through the outsole? I thought you were supposed to stitch one through the midsole and the other one through both the midsole and the outsole, that way you only have to take out one line of stitching when you are resoling? Viberg does that.

shoot it to me straight anons, can i still wear these in 2023/24

>>17852919
