Get shoes in wide widths. If you happen to wear dress shoes, having shoes that are often made in G/H widths can often alleviate your feet problems. Are you a Finngol perchance?

>This pair is my second shoe build and it truly was a labor of love. There must be miles of hand stitching between the visible stitches and the many more unseen beneath the surface. I wanted a shoe that was built like a tank—one tougher than the toughest work boots available. Only because I know my audience (and that includes anyone reading this), I’ve decided to list some of the components below.

>7-8 ounce full grain cow hide leather
>Most parts of the shoe have at least two layers of this along with a 4 ounce Kip leather lining.

>12 ounce toe puff and heel counter

>Hand welted with cork bed, steel shank and metatarsal pads built in.

>Insole was custom built years ago from many layers of leather to match the arch of my foot exactly. I wore them in my tennis shoes everyday for about two years. When it came time for this build, I simply used these as my insole and sewed them to the upper and 360 degree welt.

>There is a double midsole and Dr Soles Super Grip split soles.

>Brass toe kick made from a brass house number. I tried to buy ones already produced but couldn’t find exactly what I wanted so I made them.

>The 360 welt is stitched down to the double leather midsole. The outer sole stitch goes all the way through to the outsole, so I have options when it comes time to resole.

>The heel is made from stacks of 12 ounce leather and a bronze heel plate was made to fit between the leather and rubber outsole.

>The double stitched welt was done with a combination of three 1 mm threads of different colors (gold, silver, copper) twisted together (3 mm total) and I’m hoping those will become more visible with time as the wax melts away.

>The heel and outsole were clamped very tightly and nailed down with similar colored nails (brass, nickel and gold).

>All adhesions were done with Barges contact cement and tons of stitching.

>The eyelets are drum parts made from non-corrosive copper/brass

buddy's out here looking like Pinocchio

not sure if you lads would know about them here, but anyone have any experience with the crown northampton sneakers? i just saw the rose anvil video, they looked good but im always skeptical of sponsored content like that. I like the idea of a lifetime sneaker like that though, since i wear my boots all fall/winter, it would be nice to have a white actually high quality shoe for spring and summer, plus my dad doesnt need his works footware allowance this year, so I can get them free. thoughts?

This is further proof that if you like any type of shoe with an "apron" you're too far gone into this hobby.

Moc toes, norwegians, split toes, u-tips, even the Indy - it's time to take a step back if you like these.

>>17949422
Anyone in here ever buy cheap boots?
I want to how many of you are regret that decision.

I've been thinking about buying myself a pair of brown boots and man it's so hard to find a respectable and affordable brands around the place I live so at this point I feel like I'll just buy those no brand shoes and sell for like 890 bahts (roughly around 25 bucks, third world currency is cheap)

What are your opinions on Straight To Hell boots?
Personally, I bought a pair a few years ago and the heel completely wore itsself down within a year. Looking for a good and affordable Beatle boot, with a decent heel, pointed toe, etc. Any recommendations? Thanks merry xmas

>>17949733
should you really be wearing boots in tropical asia?

>>17949478
yeah you get it, 12e 6ft just looks stupid. all my tall friends have smaller feet than me.
i might just get converse or something desu (though ive never worn them so idk how comfy they are) maybe birkenstocks and ill rock the socks

What are you retards wearing? Even my most elongated boots (C&J 341 last) are only about a 1cm longer than my running shoes, half of that is the welt.

>>17949733
Got a pair that were comfy in Italy when I bought them, pretty cheap but leather and made in the country. Completely fucked up my feet, I’ve still got tight calves a year later.

>>17949487
yea i have some, they are well built but i don't see the value anyway. For reference i bought the most expensive non-shell sneaker, no clue how the cheaper ones perform.
Never had them rebuilt either, but i think they offer their own rebuild service, so it should easy.
They are comfy though, you don't quite get the cushioning you'd get from foam sneakers, that fall apart in 6 months, they weigh a bit more too, but its close enough. You do get all the advantages of leather like the superior breathability, smell and durability for example.

>>17949733
had a pair of no-name walmart boots for $60
they lasted 3 years because I rotated them like I do with my normal boots, pretty neat value. they're not for wearing every day, but occasional use that doesn't consist of being beaten up? not awful

Are timberlands worth it? just got a great sheepskin aviator jacket from my mom and wanna pair it with brown workboots. Im cautious of really popular brands.

>>17949806
I like mine but I wouldn't get those camel colored ones, they're too iconic

>>17949806
>Are timberlands worth it?
hot take: they're ok but about $50 too expensive
they're not welted but generally have ok sole adhesion for a glued boot. the waterproof nubuck is fine and the insert wont explode your feet and is removable and replacable
I wouldnt but another pair but at the same time the one I have is still going so ita fine

>>17949812
im between the classics or these ones

>>17949817
if you're going to get those get the grant stone field boot

>>17949733
I used to buy mallbrand boots before I knew better. They didn't disintegrate after wearing them once nor did they fuck up my feet. But honestly thete's a huge difference in fit, support and longevity between malkbrand boots and "real" boots. I could never go back.

>>17949806
it depends entirely on how you will be using them and how much you're paying for them

>>17949822
just average workwear fits, i have black paratrooper boots already but id like brown ones. theyre 220 euros

>>17949824
personally I wouldn't pay 220 euros for em, but ultimately its up to you and how bad you want them

>>17949817
these would actually look million times better if they rounded the corners on those perferct 90 degree corners
the leather is a bit better quality for typical mallshit
still so many tiny panels sewn together and the backstay with double pull loops? is a mess

not really worth the money, but for $200 i would unironically take them over thursdays any day

>>17949806

There eary vietnam era boots before they replaced them with the jungle boot a lot of pilots and armoured crewmen still wore them due to being more sturdy

Can someone recommend me a general purpose non fancy combat-ish kind of boot for autumn/winter/spring? Something likr a doc marten but not shit. Needs to be available in the EU, budget under 200, the lower the better.
Pretty sure I remember somebody posting something that exactly fits the bill a few months ago but can't find it anymore

I have the black matte one (about a month now) without issues. Havent worn it a ton though, that video is concerning though. Guess we'll find out. I'm surprised about those boot zippers though as the hardware on the jacket seems solid.

Boot zippers are under a lot of pressure, way more than any jackets.

Not everything has to be goodyear welted horsebutt wankery

>>17949743
Is there a particular reason why shouldn't I wear them?
I live in an urban city and so a lot of people here on this board. but does that actually stop anyone from wearing them?

>>17949793
Damn, I ought to be very careful about the choice of my boots then.

>>17949801
>3 years
that a lot honestly especially for a pair of boots that's 60 bucks.

>>17950355
Just don’t buy cheap shit thinking ‘oh I’m sure it’s fine it’s Italian anyway’ like I did, you’ll be okay.

>>17949733
the main thing about buying bad boots without buying good boots is that you don't realize how bad the experience is

when i was buying cheap boots i thought the foot pain was just par for the course, and then my life changed after trying out a pair of white's. and then i could go a full workday without even noticing any sort of discomfort

>>17950259

>>17950381
Really need to get a pair of White’s, but I only want one single pair (hard to choose) and i’m kinda worried about import taxes reaming me.

>>17950446
Resoled.

Point is that even if the toe caps weren't meant to be a different color, it's a style used on other models and it doesn't look bad at all.

>>17950432

>>17949430
what are some munsons last boots?
I hate boots that have the big toe pointing inwards

>>17950469
If 120 dollar resoles are a big deal to you why would you even get into expensive heritage boots in the first place? You can simply buy new cheapo boots for the amount of money you spend on resoles. I bet you buy lottery tickets too you financially illiterate loser.

>>17950475

>>17950477
You're trying to argue an abstract point that didn't happen and you know that didn't happen.

>that didn't happen
correct. a resole didn't happen, that's just turdsdays non existent QC allowing multi paneled boots out of the door. thank you for your concession

>>17950483
>>17950485
Nice thanks for the input. How do I fold the tongue? I read something about a s fold but j usually just tuck them tk the side

>>17950487
And now that you've finally figured that one out you can get to the core of the argument which I've already given you before: off-color toe caps are a standard style and even if this is a QC issue the result doesn't look bad. People would pay for this if they knew this is what they're getting.

>>17950490
pinch and do an s twist

> off-color toe caps are a standard style

>>17950496
Evidenced by that fact that this style is literally sold by Thursday. Have you ever taken an IQ test bud?

https://thursdayboots.com/products/mens-captain-lace-up-boot-scotch

>>17950469
but their target demographic doesn't know this.
Thursdays knows what they're doing when they market as they do.

>but its sold by turdsday
its not the own you think it is

>>17950495
That sounds gay. Why not just tuck in to the sides?

>>17950502
Since your whole gig is that Thursday sells boots at a price that appeal to the unknowing, general public, it does indeed evidence that off-color toe caps are a standard style if Thursday sells them.

Please don't post again until after your lobotomy appointment.

What is the logic of making the part of the boot that's likely to get dirtiest white of all colors? I simply don't understand wedgefags.

>st laurent is mall tier trash
lol, lmao even

>>17950629
i would like to see what the person who wears these looks like. while i know it makes for more interesting videos and they want to show the roughest footwear they get, i still can't comprehend why some of these people wait so long to get a resole. if you have a hole in the bottom of your shoe, i think it should be fairly self evident that you need to repair them.

For anons with Edward Greens what is your experience with sizing? Looking at grabbing some Galways. I’m 12D in Alden and 11.5UK in C&J and everything is pointing me to 12UK on the 82 or 64.

These any good?

>>17950633
if he's wearing slp probably some skinnyfat wearing a motorcycle jacket that doesn't fit at all

>>17950660
12UK is correct for both 82 and 64, with plenty space.
t. 10.5E in Barrie 10UK in C&J and 10.5UK in most EG lasts other than 72.

>>17950661
they're alright at that price point but very very boring

>>17950666
any alternatives you'd recommend at that price? I am just looking for a basic round toe black boot with cleated or lug soles so I think what I want is boring by default

>>17950672
no not really, black is just boring unless you get it in a grain or suede

just dont it doesnt mind lol

>>17950676
then go with the higgins mills

>>17950665
Appreciate the additional confirmation. I’ll probably go ahead and grab a pair. I wish more US retailers stocked the 12UKs.

i call them higgers mill in my head for some reason

>>17950687
i would slip and say something i shouldn't if that was constantly popping into my head.

for all you guys who like the girly-looking boots:
how do you dress and where do you go dressed in those boots?
do you just wear them to larp around the house?

>>17949817
I had an old pair of those. Very comfortable out of the box. Soft sole, so they wear out faster if you do a lot of walking on concrete/sidewalks vs. grass/trails.

Which of these do I >>17950259 get

>>17950585
People wear boots outside of city conditions. People live in nature wear boots get dirty

They did my custom MTO from a few months ago as a GMTO and it got funded

I think these look really cool, I got them very late last summer (actually early September) so didn't get a lot of chances to wear them but hope to put them into regular summer rotation next year

i can't stop farting and i'm extremely constipated

>>17950918
Eat more fiber.

someone talk me out of getting a pair of these, only thing holding me back now is i that im not sure of yuketen sizing

>>17950679
Higger nills boots are alright

unrelated and retarded question: if i want to darken the leather collar on a jacket, can i use the same oil that i use on my boots?

I was researching some new goth bands to add to my playlist. Saw one with a tranny vocal and was immediately disgusted. What I also noticed is that he was wearing smokejumpers. I'm not American, but are these the designated tranny boots over there? In yurop for example it's docs and the like.

>>17950423
Honestly just thin leather that will look like shit in 6 months. That and synthetic insoles.

>>17950510
Logic? Who gives a fuck

>>17951184
Now you know.

>>17951095
oil could bleed into the fabric on the other side if you overdo it
if you want to do it with oil don't apply it directly on the leather, use a rag or something and smear it in with that

>>17950956
do it. i got a pair of their ring boots

>>17951095
better to use a paste like obernauf LP, its harder to overapply than oil

>>17950858
Yea I am impatient and wanted them for this winter so just bought them from DR. Plus I like that they do a QC on them too.

white's shills think QC is not relevant with $600+ boots. So a burnt upper is actually totally fine.

How does this even happen?

just here to piss off the tranny heal fag
you may not like it, but this is what a man work boot looks like

>>17951780
Too big or too small? My 4th and 5th touch the sides of the boots when stretched out but there’s about an inch forward from my first and second toe to the end of the boot. should I size up? 55 last

i am aware that tranny heel fag is offended by my boots. thats why i said "just here to piss off the tranny he[e]l fag."

i understand that tranny heel fag is a fag and attracted to men who wear taller heels. i gain power every time he seethes.

>>17951856
I invented the term tranny heel but many people subscribe to it now. I especially like the one that posts the hilarious ai images. It makes you seeth

>>17951853
i would be wary of someone who used "weary" in place of "wary" so just jot that down.

>>17951858
the ai images are actually pretty funny, doesnt make me seethe. i just find it ironic that you are so gay that seeing manly boots makes you think of penis.

some rubbish beaters

>>17951853

>>17950249
No. Stop memeing these faggoty tranny heel things.

if your boot increases your height by more than 1.5 inches it's a cope boot

I've got a pair of Thursdays as my "dress boots." That's definitely way more expensive than you are talking about but they are considered cheap junk by the standards in these threads. I'm pretty happy with them overall desu. Maybe I just got lucky but I don't have any major qc complaints and they are pretty comfortable 2 months in. I guess I'll see in a year or 2.

>>17952004
post the lining on the heel

>>17950098
I've got a pair of captains in tobacco. Aside from some creases because I didn't get the sizing exactly right, I've been pretty happy with them. I couldn't be arsed to send them back (probably could have gone a half size down but honestly they aren't that big even then) but they are still pretty comfortable and I like my boots with a bit of room at the end of the toe anyways.

They aren't as well made as either of my other pairs of boots (Danner and Whites) but I honestly think they are better than a lot of people give them credit. Just way over advertised and shilled on social media.

>>17952007
Like around the welting or on the inside?

>>17952009
the inside

>>17952010
Ignore the cat hair. definitely not super luxurious leather near the heel but it's not cracked or defected like everyone seems to think happens. I've only had them for 2ish months, so I guess time will tell, but I don't really see it getting worn through crazy fast because I alternate between that pair and my pair of White's Perry's.

pfffft who's gonna tell him

>>17952030
Do you even wear your boots? A little bit of wear on the stitching fold between the upper lining and the heel lining is very normal.

>2 ish months
>i-i-it's normal

>>17951785
A $5 vegtan belt I got from a leather supply store, it has some western cowboy style embossing and I conditioned it until it was brown.
Those belts are a killer deal, I have 2.
I should just sell them on etsy for $80 each like those "Amish" belts.

>>17951878
when did you order them? been waiting for 2 boots since like august.

>skolyx

Any swedes here? Or at least someone who's familiar with the brand?

>>17952008
>I didn't get the sizing exactly right
How did you pick your size? How do they size compared to other brands?

>>17952134
skolyx are resellers, yanko is the brand
I had service boots from them but sent them back, they had a minor factory fuck up with the mid sole and they creased like mad (clx). Overall I'd say they're very good value for the price though if they had been without those issues or if you don't mind creasing

>>17949422
How much should you pay for a good leather brogue boot if you got it from a little shoemaker? This guy in Italy sell these for 280 euros, calf leather, waterproof blake rapid stitch, Extra Light gum sole.

>>17952197

Just buy a stow from trickersoutlet.

>>17952197
If it's blake why does it have a fake storm welt?

I would spend that kind of money on Meermin instead
or Grant Stone if you're American

Trickers is famous for their brogue boot but customs might fuck you up.

TLB new collection has brogue boots but it's like 430€, I think trying to copy C&J's Islay.
I own TLB shoes and they are excellent but I have no idea if their boots are any good.

>>17952238
It performs the same as goodyear storm welt anyway, the bead is not doing anything, just sitting there for aesthetic sake

I hate how all these boot threads are full of the ugliest redditor boots you've ever seen.

>>17952288
you don't like brogues

>>17952293
Those are legit disgusting. This dress boot shit is appalling.

For an oxford, which color do you guys think is best?

Pic is boxcalf

>>17952323
or this

Pic is annonay veg tan brown

>>17952323
>>17952324
is the box calf chrome tan? You generally don't want veg tans on oxfords, they probably crease worse and they patina.

>>17952333
That's what I thought too, that boxcalf doesn't have the same depth of color and doesn't take too shoe polish etc as well but it creases better and generally stays looking the same for longer. It also doesn't stain as easily as veg tan leathers.

TLB offers very few shoes in brown boxcalf, they really push the veg tan leather a lot more on stock models.
It just says annonay boxcalf.

Tuck in in on the sides of the boot

>>17951805
is this for gusseted tongues?
i've never had to fold the tongue but don't own any gusset tongues

the tongue always slides out on every single one of my boots except one pair of carminas that have a little hoop halfway through the tongue where the laces pass through and that holds it in place

there's no way all of my boots from makers like viberg, alden and bonafe have crooked tongues so it must be a problem with my feet

>>17952345
bonafe will do half gusset tongue btw, but i don't have the problem with most boots.

>>17952159
I went half a size down from my standard sneaker size. I probably could have gone a full size down and have been fine.

I never understood sneaker size.
I wear UK 10.5 on dress shoes.
I wear EU45 on sneakers.

It's the same thing isn't it?

>>17951687
Well yeah, you guys get fucked on shipping and VAT with them too.

>>17952345
Yes gusset tongues must be tucked or folded

>>17952360
A lot of dress shoes are much closer to a Brannock measurement sizing. Sneakers tend to run small.

As an example, I'm a 12 Brannock, tend to wear either 11.5 or 12 boots, and usually need either 12.5 or 13 sneakers (all US measurements). The two pairs of dress shoes I own are both dead on for Brannock sizing at 12.

John Lobb is now doing elastics on every seam in their oxfords.

All for the very normal price of 1700€.
Jesus christ.

>>17952443
thats profoundly retarded

>>17951538
How come my boots dried out? Was it because of all the shampooing? Surely, that would have the opposite effect.

>>17951687
Like what?

>>17952367
tuckers get the rope

>gave my boots a light conditioning with some balm that doesn't darkens the color
>decide to give the toe cap and counter a bit of polish for shine because I watched it on a rose anshill video
>the polish noticeabily darkened the cap and counter and now my boots look like those thursdays people keep reposting
Is there a way to remedy this or shpuld I just wear my boots until everything sorta evens out?

>>17952367
>>17952483
These whites are my first pair of fully gusseted tongues. I started the first couple weeks by tucking but now I switched to tri fold. I’ll report back which is better.

>>17952345
>the tongue always slides out on every single one of my boots
This is quite common in non-gusseted boots, the taller the boot, the bigger the offset. I beleive it's done on purpose for comfort, but too much of an offset gets uncomfortable.
Get gusseted boots if it annoys you that much.

>>17952746
I think there aren't too many competitors for the kind of things Thursday tends to do well (on the line between dressy and worky but more towards the fashionable dressy end). This will be a bit of a novel, sorry about that. The tldr is that I actually don't think they are bad for the money like everyone says here, but they definitely have some flaws and potential hangups.

I do believe the captain to be a reasonably priced boot for what it is, and if you don't have any obvious QC defects I don't think they are a bad buy for the money. I can't speak to the frequency of QC issues because this is the only pair of anything I've bought from them and mine was fine.

I can't say much about the other boots they have aside from the Diplomat. If you are looking at getting a moc-toe, you're probably a lot better off spending a bit more money and getting something more well constructed like a White's Perry or Red Wing. Even in the same price range, I might go for a pair of Danner bull runs or Thorogoods over a Thursday diplomat if you're okay with a more "worky" oriented boot because the insoles will hold up longer and you can replace them without having to recraft the boot if needed.

>>17952238
>Meermin
Isn't Meermin Made in China? I'd rather pay a fellow countryman/european/american for the same price

>>17952197

looks alright for the price. post them when you get them

>>17952818
Well, I appreciate the effort and honest opinion. I'm more intetested in the vanguard or logger because a dark brown waxed flesh will probably be my next pair. I was considering either Thursdays on the cheaper side or forking extra money to get Trumans. But since I won't be buying boots until next fall, I'll probably go with Trumans in the end.

>>17952878
Grant Stone is made in China too. It doesn't mean too much.

Seems like the consensus is they're not really worth it but at the same time, I like the design of the shoes and I just need something for cold/rainy weather around the city so not sure what to go for.

>>17951837
The exact same boots the actual tranny vocalist of the new goth band I found the other day while looking for new music to add to my playlist. Didn't add it of course, becuase no trannies allowed, but he was wearing black smokejumpers. Not saying I like or dislike them either, I'm just sharing a fun fact.

remember claims made without proof can be dismissed

Timberlands premium are reasonabily well made, comfortable and will keep your feet warm and dry. They're also an icon of urban style so they won't look out of place with streetwear, casualwear or workwear. Whether that's worth the price or not is up to you, but if you like them, get them. I doubt you'll regret the purchase.

>>17952961
post the name of the band or no balls

>>17952968
I wasn't. I was looking at a lot of different bands one by one, and this one happened to be a tranny band.

>>17953039
I forgot the name. It was some retarded cringe shit.

>>17952506
tucking is definitely for the big gays.
fold that shit brother, its superior in every way.
better protection, the leather takes the shape and just snaps into place, looks cool when the boots are off your feet.
cons: none.

tucking pros? none.
cons: sucks, and looks gay. probably is gay.

I found it. Pic related. He's wearing smokejumpers, and he's pretending he's a woman. At least these look like smokejumpers to me. Too bad because the music is kinda cool too, but I will not support a tranny.

>>17953044
Thanks I’ll stick with the folding. Hope it snaps into place with time. I’ve tucked them the past couple weeks.

we get it, you're jealous of men who wear PNW boots and will take an opportunity to disparage them and call them trannies. Look dog manly men than you have been wearing loggers for longer than your inbred bloodline has existed. bet you wish your gut was smaller so you could actually tie your own shoes. when you surface from your grandmothers basement, try touching some grass.
