The OP smells like burnt ass. Did I hurt you so much by calling you out on your bullshit?

Rate my boots

Skoak has restocked RTW Enzo Bonafe Col8 Shell jumper boots.
The new stock is much more expensive than it used to be (it was like 1250€ before) but nowadays even Carmina is asking over 1000€ for shell boots.

It doesn't get any better than Bonafe for shell.

>>17922258
And yes it's dainite.
I own a pair myself but mine are an MTO with ridgeway sole.
It was a grail item for me but honestly I don't wear them that much.

>>17922258
fucking hell what a waste of money

>>17922276
nobody is forcing you to buy it

>>17922276
Bonafe used to be great value, handwelted and great lasts (no spanish toe bump) for only like 200€ more than Carmina

But I feel they've raised prices a little too much in the last year. Maybe it's just Skoak though.

re Docs
is anyone really expecting a quality shoe from them?
i have a pair and i like them--they're fairly comfortable and they fit a certain aesthetic. that's all.
they're not shoes that i want to wear every day for years
no half sizes is pretty stupid though

>>17922380
nice -- Danner?

>>17922381
Solovairs are built better than docs, fit the same aesthetic and have half sizes.

>>17922387
lol ok, thanks.
i already have a pair, but i'll keep that in mind next time i'm looking for a pair or disposable shoes

>>17922380
was it worth going custom just to get a stock smokejumper but unstructured?

>>17922287
I just paid 846eur for an MTO, they are still alright value, especially GMTOs. A lot less of a price raise than all the other brands really. As for shell, in August i paid $1506 for a shell MTO from Bonafe, no clue why this one is so expensive.

>>17922390
it's funny how people get so assmad about these boots existing. yeah, nobody is under any illusion that a sub 200 dollar fashion boot isn't going to be in the same league construction wise as some 700+ job specialized work boot. But all the pairs of docs have held up fine, been easy to care for, and have honestly been more comfortable than any of my domestically made heritage/combat boots lol.

>>17922387
>Solovair
ok so i decided to look at their website anyway and they're twice the cost of the Docs i bought--they may have been on sale.
they do somehow look a bit nicer though and i like the fact that there's no yellow stitching.

>>17922401
when i was a kid Docs were shoes for punks and some other fringe dwellers. they did not have the 'status' they do now.
also, i guess i feel a little nostalgic about them

>>17922413
In EU they cost almost the same - Solovairs being 20 euro more, so yeah, you must've bought on sale. I second the yellow stitching point, don't like it too.

>>17922417
In the end I like what I like and I don't particularly care too much what online fashion trends are dictating lol. I have a couple pairs of 10 eye docs and a pair 14 eyes and I'll wear them until they fall off my feet. I've always loved the aesthetic of tall derby/ranger boots.

>>17922393
bruh these stock lmao custom is for fucked feet fags

>>17922384
danners are for poors

>>17922417
>when i was a kid Docs were shoes for punks and some other fringe dwellers.
I still got a pair of docs that are +20 years old, from before they went to shit qualitywise. I was in the metal/punk scene at the time. Wore them to bars, shows and stuff for years, then forgot them on a closet at my parents' basement for about a decade. Got them back a couple of years ago and they're still holding up nicely, save for the insoles having a couple of pressure points, but again, I'm way heavier than back then.
Checked new docs at the store a couple of weeks ago and they suck ass, though, mine are way better.
I like the aesthetics and I like the yellow stitching, but wouldn't get newer docs, desu.

>>17922380
You post on Stitchdown Discord and on the chan?

>>17922502
I found these on the internet. I ordered semi dress in dress brown but stock. Why is his sole smaller?

>>17922571
because that's the leather sole semi dress

>>17922573
But still looks like the stock has two leather mid soles with rubber outsole while the other one has just one leather midsole

>>17922575
earlier semi dresses had either single leather or single leather with rubber. they switched to double leather with rubber

pic related was produced in oct 2017

>>17922587
Is this a single leather with rubber?

>>17922610

>>17922613
I know nothing about boots spoonfeed me.

>>17922620
yes its single leather with rubber

>>17922626
So it’s a single midsole but now stock is double midsole?
>>17922587
>>17922571
Nevertheless the heights in both of these seem similar. I guess the one single leather is thick.

>>17922559
it be like that lol

>>17922628
>So it’s a single midsole but now stock is double midsole?
oh my god, yes, you dense motherfucker

>>17922654
Which one looks better?

>>17922654
>>17922657
Also does this mean that the heel is higher too?

>>17922659
the heel stack is the same height, the entire sole is a bit taller
looks better with double imo, the single looks too flimsy

Looking for advice or ideas: I need some boots for hiking, walking, and will be in some snow. Trying to stay below 250. I tried on some Jim Greens and they seemed fine, but I'm not all that knowledgeable about boots.

>>17922681
Someone posted William Lennon B5 on the last thread. I would buy those if I wanted to spend around $250. I also would consider something by Allen Edmonds when they’re on sale for around $250

>>17922686

cope and seethe, bootlets, you'll never be real men

Finally, the thread gets back up from its knees after being endlessly flooded with brown lumberjack "mature" styled shitboots.

It's funny, those lumbersexual enthusiasts constantly screeched about shilling on the part of some youtubers in these threads, while in the same time screeching endlessly about Whites and the like being the BEST ever, and never making mistakes, even as they begin outsourcing some of their production.

What’s the sizing like on French BM65s?

>>17923050

>>17922972
Id for these boots

>>17922722
boots aren't for you if you think aging is ugly

>>17923050
Hard for me to say bro. I wear 44 in high top cons, 44.5 in other regular shoes. Got 45 rangers which are literally half a size too big for me. With insoles they fit properly (the soloshitter insoles I stole from soloshitter lmao). They don't have half sizes though, and I'm 100% sure 44 would be too tight.

>>17922587
The block heel looks clunky compared to the tranny heel. I much prefer the tranny heel to the clunky heel

Is it a good idea to "spot condition" like the tip of a boot that got scratched?

>>17923232
Nothing wrong with it, i do it all the time if i scratch the toe or heel. Although i don't really find it necessary if it's not something dressier you want to keep in pristine condition.

>>17923050
I wear a size 10US/44EUR in Nike and I got a 43EUR (9.5US I beleive) and they fit me perfectly.

>>17923230
once you go above the everyday heel height you have to go logger. look at the smokejumpers posted earlier and imagine them with a big block heel. it would look ridiculous

>>17923039
whites hasnt outsourced production yet retard. nice laces though.

Just got these

>>17923171
>17923171
don't have the exact id. they're 20 eye. just look up "steel toe ranger boots" and you can find something close. there are lots of brands that make these, take your pick.

How much space should there normally be between the leg and the back of the shaft?

>>17923439
Another angle

>>17923542
Zero when broken in.

>>17923566
Shouldn't it increase as the boots get broken in? It doesn't make intuitive sense that the fit will be more tight with time.

>>17923521
They look good though.

>>17923439
>>17923545
very nice grain

>>17922874
who hurt you?

>>17923569
No.

>>17923569
the leather should form to the shape on your foot/leg. the leathe softens up, but it also fits more snugly against your body. this is the way. a well fitting pair of boots should sit against your skin/sock/pants whatever when tied properly. otherwise, its not doing the job of a boot.

I work in an office (suit/business casual) and I'm looking for boots that I can wear to work and can handle some rain and snow. I'm not going to be knee deep in water, but I want to be able to wear them and be sure they won't get ruined. Was looking at these Loake Roehamptons but I'm worried they'll get damaged. I like the look, but I don't want to spend 300+ on them if they're not wearable in shitty weather when I can just buy something with shit quality for a third of the price. Thoughts?

>>17923643
grant stone edward or cap toe

>>17923657
I would've gone for that but I live in Germany and duties put it >500 and that's out of my budget

Where can I get some boots that arent ugly like everything ITT

>>17923643
they will perform just like any other gyw boot

>>17923643
if you're worried about scratches and scuffs then go with suede or grained leather like >>17923545

Can anyone confirm that these are authentic BM65s rather than knockoffs?

>>17923691

More worried about damage from water. Soles are rubber but I want to be able to step in a puddle or wear them in heavy rain once in a while and not have to throw them away because they start squeaking or fall apart.

>>17923738
They look like high top dress shoes with tranny heel. Pretty gay ngl

Agrueyrolles and marbot as far as I know stopped making boots with brown lining inside at some point and the black eyelets are also iffy. That outsole is also sus looking, despite the boots themselves not looking like overall trash. There's also no reason for them to not mention the maker or show the stamp. I believe these aren't real-real ones, but could still be of good quality. The real and authentic ones might not be easy to come by either way. You could try searching for "rangers bm65 argueyrolles" on google, or "rangers bm65 marbot", or get them from where I got mine. They should be authentic.

>>17923478
I don't wear them that often so they still have a ways to go in terms of breaking in. It took me about two weeks before I could secure the straps without struggling like hell. The vamp felt nice from the get go, but the point at which the ankle flexes took months of irregular wearing to stop being a pain.
I don't know why more military bootas have this V thing between the foot and the shaft, it would greatly improve comfort.

>>17923868
I don't think these need it at all. At least my pair on my foot. What's really fucking me up is the back of the heel. It's so fucking stiff. It hurts my heel like a bitch.

>>17923731
The only way to verify is by the stamp on the inside of the shaft. If you're in Europe and have access to Vinted you can get a pair there for way less.

>tfw got a pair of BM65s from Varusteleka ages ago
>the sole on one is so messed up it hurts to wear
Sucks. I also have some of the m47 model in roughout but they are so old and stiff, even after trying multiple means to improve their flexibility.

Grant Stone Field boots are on sale. Probably the coolest casual boots I own

>>17923900
>Every pair crafted on Xiamen Island, China.
No thanks.

Believe me or not, but both pairs of solovairs I got (2 different sizes) didn't have any of the issues shown on the pics schizos like OP love to post when someone touches on the topic of solovairs.

>>17923938
Proof?

>>17923875
That never game me much trouble other than the backstay stabbing my calves when going down the stairs for the first two weeks or so.
But otherwise they fit pretty nice around my foot and are surprisingly light when worn.
I should wear them more often, I'm still a bit selfconscious to tuck my jeans in or wear them like in >>17923050 at first I feared the bickles would fuck up my jeans, but so far I've had zero issues.

>>17923585
>>17923588
Thanks. I'm not used to the tight fit of the leather boots, hopefully, it gets better over time.

>>17923941
Do you by chance have the fake ones with the thin leather?

>>17923940
I'm too lazy to entertain you, you can buy a pair if you want proofs. There's no point in lying for me, plus I don't really care if you believe it or not.

>>17923938
>makes claim
>provides no proof

>>17923949
Well unlike you, I did buy a pair so I have proof. >>17922326 I returned two shit pairs in fact. You also clearly care if you're going out of your way to make a shill post trying to lie to people.

>>17923948
See >>17923886 not only are mine 100% authentic, but also I was the anon who introduced french rangers to this general.

>>17923954
Right, so if you bought two pairs almost at once god knows when, then it's clearly holds true for every pair ever manufactured. Nice logic, awesome arguments. Still don't care enough to try to convince you that you're, in fact, dumb as fuck if you believe that your experience can be extrapolated like that.

ftfy

>>17923971
About two or three years ago, about the time when I made several posts overwieving them.
They were second hand and I got them from Vinted. Still, they were almost brand new, other than a minor crease in the vamp, they had no worn signs. The shaft was (and still is) stiff as fuck, the ankle flexion is what has given me more trouble.
If I remmember correctly Argueyrolles moved production from France to Algiers aroun 2006. Mine are from 2004, so supposedly they were made in France.

So much coping from a mere mention of well-made solovairs.. lmao

>>17923987
I was quoting from memory. I still have the document I wrote as overwiev, but the links no longer work.
Back in the day I wrote "Argueyrolles still provides these boots to the french army, however they moved the production from France to Tunisia after 2008 and word has it that the quality as suffered ever since."
So yeah, Tunisia instead of Algiers and 2008 instead of 2006.
Still, I don't have a source for that claim, so I will not die on that hill. I remmember getting relevant info (other than the link already posted) in english for rangers was difficult, and since my french is really pooor, I did what I could.

yeah its only a mention cause nobody can post a good pic of docs lol

GUYS, NO WAY!

What are the absolute best winter boots for durability, warmth, breathable, looks and good for walking in snow, slush and dirt?

I can't find anything convincing. The best I got so far are Danners Mountain Pass Arctic Night Insulated 200G but I don't like the leather on those.

>>17924387
how breathable is plastic insulation?

>>17924391
It's dog shit. I can confirm you that from first hand experience but some leather boots seem to use plastic, hidden inside or something. It's rare though. I don't think those Danners are plastic insulated from what I can read about them online.

>>17924387
nigs hardwear pro/waterworks + wool socks

it needs to be the hardwear pro or waterworks specifically because these have rubber rather than leather midsoles and are 365 stitchdown rather than gyw which makes them effectively waterproof

also the sierra outsole is surprisingly good for walking on snow/ice without tracking slush around

nicks can also do optional insulation but desu it's not necessary if you wear good thick socks

>>17924393
>I don't think those Danners are plastic insulated
anon what do you think the 200g is made of?

>>17924394
I don't understand any of what you typed. I don't have a PhD in shoes like you so just tell me which boots to buy.

>>17924399
So which kind of plastic insulation is considered breathable then?

>>17924404
get wool socks

if your insulation is inside your boot you're gonna sweat into it and you can't wash it. don't buy insulated boots

>>17924402
Too ugly

unironically all american boots have tranny heel

>>17924402
No offense to you but these look like women boots. I'm sure they are good though. Just not my style.

>>17924403
Thanks now I am starting to understand your other post. Do you own the waterworks? How cold does it get where you live?

>>17924409
>get wool socks
How cold does it get where you live?
It can go down to -30 here

So let's say I'm just getting leather boots for winter, which one are the best? (not insulated) here we have tons of snow, slush and dirt. I also walk a lot so chelseas are not good for me.

>buy red wing boots
>alpine portage green moc toes
>finally get them today
>take them out of the box, immediately know they're going back
>glue stains all across the boot, massive gob right on the stitching
>one side of the back heel is improperly cut, too long and looks like a flap
>stitching on the toebox is butchered, someone clearly made a massive fuckup and shipped it out anyway
>have to ship it back to RW and wait for them to deal with it before I get a new pair
I swear to god, I have the worst fucking experience with this brand. Last pair I owned had a sole separation after 5 months.

>>17924420
I own the hardwear pro. it was -15C today with plenty of snow and slush on the ground since we got 30cm 2 days ago.

I just got the boots a few weeks ago but I expect winter temps to go down to -30C eventually, just hasn't happened yet this season, but I expect the boots will be fine.

>>17924423
pics?

>>17924423
Why do you people buy these meme boots online? I never buy footwear online unless they are generic sneakers like nikes or NBs

>>17924429
yep
>>17924434
it was $135, at the very least I can claim a warranty return.

>>17924441
that's a mess

>>17924423

Okay now we know that all redwings are shit. Oh, sorry, I meant shitwings.

What are some winter boot recommendations?

My wife wants a pair of Panama Jacks. Should I be proud or divorce her?

Question: I have orthopedic insoles but they don't fit in any "good boots" (because no good boot has a removable insole). Can I go to a cobbler with my boot and insole, and have him adjust the leather insole that's glued to the boot to the specifications of the orthopedic? Like, is that possible/has anyone here done that?

>>17924958
>waterproof
>shoes
something isnt adding up

>>17925068
>and have him adjust the leather insole that's glued to the boot to the specifications of the orthopedic
no the insole is critcal to welted construction, the foundations should not be messed with

>>17925079
I meant just the small raised heel part, surely that's not critical right? I need my heel to be on a slope to correct my flat feet.

>>17925082
that top cover can removed

have you considered White's boots? arch support is built into the boot itself and you don't have to mess with inserts

>>17925082
some work can be done. Steve at bedos has mentioned in videos making modifications based on doctor's recommendations. you'll probably need someone a step above the average cobbler on the corner
if it's just building a slope at the heel it would likely mean building up a leather patch to glue into the heel

>>17925089
that copywriting makes less sense the more you think about it.
Do they know how ankle work? What about when you are laying down on the bed?
Their high arch definitely has some merits but that explanation attempt is pure bro science

>>17925089
Whites isn't really an option since I'm European. I have C&J boots that fit pretty well, but I'm just wondering what my options are.
>>17925103
Interesting, thanks

For US sizes, about half size from sneaker size. One full size down in EUR size.

>>17925442
very bad quality control. My pair has weird chemical leather that smells bad. You're better off with Iron Rangers

>>17925453
you in europe? look at yanko, meermin, carmina

>>17925453
Solovair. Pretty generic, simply good-value black boots for the price.

>>17925419
Will post some tomorrow, too cold to get out of bed now.

Manufacturer said to grease them, I guess they forgot to change the blurb for their suede stuff. My fault for not checking before doing it but I am malding slightly

>>17925470
>>17925462
>>17925454
still laughing at this shit. lol. the cut im looking into is the generic fucking slim hipster silloute cut but yea. from what i can see the thursdays arent it either.

>>17925487
Can't you just buy surplus combat boots or something?

Austrian Light boots or British Army assault boots both have that anonymous black boot look

>>17925442
>and the cut is p decent

>12.5 heel to ball
>11.5 heel to toe
>C width on 12.5
11EE is too tight at the toes and loose at the balls. Do I go 11.5D or 12C for 55 last with whites?

>>17925519
I did whites sizing different parts of the foot and they said 11.5D

>>17925519
can't you just check 11.5D first on a stock boot and return them?

>>17925541
They didn’t give me that option. I guess I could order a pair of red wings on Amazon and return them

>>17925089
your pic might be one of the dumbest things I've read about 'arch support'.
Imagine appealing to nature when you're talking about putting your foot into a high heeled leather cast lmao

>>17925111
exactly, it's written by someone trying to sell you something. Just remember how White's says, "your feet on a dead hang is exactly like it should be when you're walking and standing, trust us, btw by our boots". Good grief, what a stretch. Shorten your arch and calf muscles, that'll sure strengthen it lol.

These are the same people that'd talk shit on barefoot/zero drop footwear too.

>>17925586
now type that without crying

>>17925587
