why not just get a pait of red wings for that price?

look at wolverine 1000miles everyone here likes those.

gotta resole my 1kmiles, what kinda sole do you guys recommend

>>6919509
i like the way these look and cant seem to find redwings that look like these besides the 8115 but those are 100$ more. also, redwings huge toebox is unappealing to me

>>6919509
>everyone here likes
please die


Anyway Katas look miles better than RWs

>>6919542
finally someone who isnt RW brainwashed on here! do you have experience with them? also, are they pic related?

Was $118

>>6918815
those thinking of copping the Katahdins, take a look at the Chippewa 20065, same boot and manufacturer, no toe cup and $75 less

>>6919559
its nice that they are way cheaper but the problem is the dam emblem on the side/i actually like the cap toe. also, the sole is different.

>>6919549
what are these?

do red wings run UK sizing like Clarks?

>>6919586
yah the emblem is a miss, but it doesn't bother me toooo much

copped these 1907's, pic related doesn't do them justice. After a coating of mink oil they are a beautiful shade of chocolate

>>6919542
he asked /fa/ for help with boots, I told him what the board likes.

>>6919549
I don't have personal experience with Red Wings. It's of general consensus that they're built better than the Katas though. I just don't like how they look which makes them worthless to me.

I do have experience with Katas though. I own a pair. I really like the way they look aside from the hardware but I'll be the first to admit they're not impressive quality wise. Threw this pic together for another anon a while back.

Anyway something I just remembered is that some of the metal behind the speedhooks showed some green corrosion when it arrived. A couple speedhooks are also a little loose. If they loosen anymore it will threaten their hold on the lace. They're not in danger of falling out but a couple can be twisted in place 45 degrees or so.

Anyway it's LL Bean and I think I got these just under a year ago. I'm pretty confident I could send them back. LLB's customer service is legendary. I probably will within the next month or so just because I don't want the current problems to get any worse.

Defects considered, I recommend them anyway. I love the toe profile. Low enough to not feel #werkwear costumey and bulky enough to not feel dainty.

Can you waterproof Suede boots?

would it work if I used that spray on it just as I would on nubuck or leather?

>>6919641
no worries man I was just being catty about your choice of the word "everyone"

put me under the impression that you haven't spent much time here at all

or the little time you have spent here was years ago
not necessarily a bad thing I guess

lots of neat boots. nobody needs red wings anymore.

>>6919643
>I just don't like how they look which makes them worthless to me.
I should add I really like 875s though. They're great. They take everything I don't like about the other RW models, blow it up even more, and it looks awesome. I just feel they've got a lot of personality.

Yessss

btw there's some gorgeous black Roccia Vets in US 11, EU 44 on eBay right now for $240. Would instacop but I'm 9.5

>>>6919792
what about hiking boots?

>>6919689
Oh god, please let there be mongol-core in the future. Those boots look so fucking dope

>>6919645

pls respond. I'm sitting on a potentially nice purchase but I need to know if I can wear them in the fall/winter e.g. light rain and snow flurries

>>6919819
no, suede will die in winter especially in places like chiacgo. I used to own suede shoes and they just get flat, turn weird colors from the salt on the roads, and look like paper mache (mishe?) texture after winter

>>6919846
o :(

well thanks for letting me know

>>6919819
go buy yourself a pair of
>native fitzsimmons
and spare your suede boots the harsh conditions during winter.

>>6919887
Hideous.

I bought pic related a week ago. On sale from $285 to $109. They are the Barneys house brand. They fit nicely and seem very well made. I bought them because they have a size zipper, which I like a lot. They are made in italy, and I doubt I could ever find black leather boots made in italy for only $109.

>>6919930
Carven hiking boots version of that!

>>6919930
I am saving up for these herschungs

copped these 1000 miles yesterday for $155, its a steal

these alexander mcqueens look p cool

i'm currently saving up $1000 for a nice pair of boots

>>6919886
if you do get them, get them for summer or sometime where you know they wont get wet/ i personally dislike suede because they are so easy to ruin even if you care for them right. a few light rains here and there and they start looking shit. try to get the same shoe in topgrain leather, aka the best kind of leather

>>6919968
beautiful shoe. link?

I would get them but they seem too formal for my first boot

>>6919976

>>6919968
>montgomerys
lol

>>6919968
I see them for around that price a lot. Montgomery's at least

>>6920078
i like the montgomerys, yeah the construction is slightly lower quality than the originals but theyre better for a cold winter walking around campus, with liner on the inside and a rubber covered sole. for 150 why not

>>6920037

How do the 1k mile rockfords compare to the classic 1ks?

>>6920180
its the same boot, just with a toe cap. same quality, still made in america with the same materials

Never going to cop heeled toes. Rather get those Vibram soles.

Now that my Iron Rangers arrived (I went one size down and got it right on the first try), what steps do I need to do to preserve them?

I'm planning on buying some Obenauf's LP, so how should I apply it? And what else do I need?

>>6920427
coupon code from a website for spending a certain amount

>>6920441
bump for this guy

>>6920441
1. Wash them with a little bit of soap and water, and dry thoroughly
2. Apply some Leather Honey or other leather conditioner with a soft cloth, I use Detailer's Choice Polishing Cloth for this and all other steps requiring a cloth
3. Go do something else for a couple of hours while the leather sucks up the Leather Honey or other leather conditioner
4. Wipe down with a dry cloth, you will now have well-conditioned and clean leather, but unpolished
5. if you want polish, add polish to your shoes using a Shoe Dauber Brush or a cloth
6. Wipe off all excess with a cloth
7. Use a Shine Brush and buff your shoes to a perfect shine; this will not scratch your shoes
8. when you take them off you use some Shoe Trees to help dry out the moisture and let them keep their form

That's what I do at least.

fugg I need some 1k miles

Do you guys think the cordovan or brown are more versatile than the black 1ks?

>>6920986
If you can get shell cordovan, get it. It's better leather than chromexcel in just about every conceivable way.

>>6920986

I bought the Cordovan by accident without realizing how red they'd be. I can't pull it off, and now I'm trying to resell them on eBay, but no one's biting. :(

The ones in the pic are brown.

How much toe space do you guys have in your boots? I just got mine in the mail today and am afraid they might be a little big. There's about a thumbs width between my toe and the front of the shoe.

Could anyone recommend me a good black boot? I'm thinking about these Piers but they are almost a little too clunky and square

w2c some nice boots like these

>>6921447

clunky yes,

but square?

>>6918815
I'm selling my 1k's if any of you boot lovers are after a cheap pair.

US/UK/AUS
9.5/8.5/8.5

They run a bit big, I'm normally a size UK 9 and I had to wear thick socks with them.

Minimal wear, less than 10 times but the leather is very soft as you know and they won't take them back with the slightest scratch.

I also had a grippier sole put on them by a cobbler as I felt the leather sole slides all over the place.

$225 ono

>>6921447

doc 1914 or 1940

>>6921746

What product did you use to get them to that color?

>>6921756
No product. Partly the lighting they are a slightly richer brown than that.

Looking at your pictures yours seem extremely red compared to mine.

>>6921767

I'm certain they're not the cordovan kind, because I've owned those too and compared them. (see picture related)

Ugh.

Are chippewa apache lace /fa/?

>>6920425
>New England Outerwear
any experience with that? i like the fact that its made in massachusettes and would be willing to pay more money if theyre good.

>>6921057
just wear thick socks. as long as you dont go for any hikes in them it shouldnt make too big of a deal. i used to buy all my footwear to be about that much larger. about once a month i would scuff my toe on the ground because my shoes werent wear my toes were, but it wasnt a big deal and it never caused me to trip and fall. however, if you try to do any hiking with improperly sized footwear, youll fuck yourself over.

>>6922888

they've got a nice silhouette, I would cop em

consider swapping out the laces for something colourful yet complimentary

>>6923009
Where do you buy laces? Got a pair of ll bean katahdins that could need a change.

>>6922888
I won't speak for the board and call them /fa/ but they look better than most boots in the price range.

The one thing I really dislike is the color of the midsole. Kind of a pinkish light orange. Doesn't really suit the brown imo.

Worth copping if nothing sturdier suits your budget.

>>6923065
Any athletic store. Even a place like Walmart or Target should have them. Online will give you myriad options as well.

>>6922969
perfect. thank you.

>>6923636
glad i could help.

on a note with the hiking with shoes to large, i went to boston a few weeks ago, and i wore a cheap pair of boots i picked up just to fuck up and throw away, as they needed breaking in. i walked miles every day for three day, and i could feel my feet sliding around, at first it didnt bother me, but then the balls of my feet began to get really sore. since i was travelling as light as possible i didnt bring, or buy, thicker socks, so i just laced the boots, up tighter near the toe and that helped.

>>6921095
i bought these online. they still have them up, but only in size 10

>>6923065
you can get good ones from allen edmonds for like 3bucks free shipping

I want cdb's but they're autist tier at this point

>>6924305
No they aren't. They are just more common due to them being easily available and on the cheaper side. Now, if you walk around and see that everybody wears them where you are, then yeah, get something else. If you don't see anybody wearing them, then get them.

>>6923666
nice trips. yeah, it doesn't bother me so much in the way it feels I just want to avoid the "clown shoes" look.

What do you guys think of doc martens? I'm kind of leaning towards the 1460 and 130$ for some quality boots seems pretty good

>>6920890

Are those the mikkel rude's?
Gonna need sauce, they look tons better than docs.

>>6924528
save your money man. quality for boots is usually $200 or up. if you want leather just for wear, get ones that will age nicely

>>6924528
If you have to get Docs, Made in England or 4Life; all other types are made in China or Thailand and are utter shit.

>>6924600
Do you have any suggestions for a good alternative, specifically something that comes in oxblood?

>>6923065

I replaced mine with leather laces.

http://www.jackthreads.com/j-shoes/footwear/boots/fellow/products/128375

cop or not?

I recently copped these

>>6924507
oh i get ya. for the most part, the size of boots wont make or break clown shoe status. if its a boot that has a general clown shoe look to it, a large size will accentuate it, but a boot with a good silhouette, even two sizes larger then you, wont make it look like clown shoes because everybody has different sized feet.

>>6924827
"glow" yes
black, no

>>6924861
Thanks man I appreciate the input. Been a big help

I'm considering a pair of Clarks Originals Desert Mali boots. Any good?

>>6924896
the laces are really fragile and overall they're kind of floppy. mine seem to be holding up okay otherwise.

how is new england outerwear?

Should I cop?

>>6924896
Love my malis. If you are planning to wear them when it's wet weather, treat them with mink oil or something (improves the color anyway) and also be prepared to fall on your ass. Also change the laces; those wore out after like a month of wear.

I thought I'd ask this here instead of starting another thread

I bought some Doc Marten Neros last year and they have held up great, but they had gotten a little worn and dirty. I bought Dr. Martens Wonder Balsam which is supposed to restore the leather and protect it. I clean the shoes off with a damp cloth, let them dry, and applied the balsam. They now look even worse than before. They just look really dark and old now. Can I do anything to fix it?

>>6924896
i prefer the black ones

These are the boots I'm diggin right now. I'm looking for something functional in wet and snow, too. I like Illinois weather.

>>6925306
why are they for grillz? I want some boots for innawoods but that will also look pretty cool and give off a workwear/manly vibe. But they need to be in my price range which is preferably no more than $200. I would be wearing them with dark blue and black jeans and maybe some olive chinos.

>>6925385
ll bean maine boot or whatever its called

>>6925458
so the far right in my first post? should i go for 6" or 8"?
>>6925263

cop or not

>>6925479
yeah, thats what made me think of it, i didnt know if that was actually it though.

as for the height. its up to you. if your going to be using it for its intended purpose you may want the 8 inch to help keep out water and give more support.

>>6925488
I would say not. I'm not really liking the soles, and they look like they're suede which will get gross in wet weather and stuff.

>>6925497
thanks mayne. I'll probably be coppin some soon then. They're pretty affordable for a made in USA boot.

they're pretty much the only docs i can stand, I've been looking for brogue boots and these seem pretty nice

$150 shipped.

Should i get a pair of 1000 mile boots even though it gets snowy as fuck where i live in the winter. Does anyone know if they break or if it gets slippery.

>>6927362
I'd rather take the Montgomery if it gets snowy. That plain sole would be a pain in the butt to deal with

>>6927362
1k Miles have leather sole rite?

It won't work at all in snowy conditions. Get RW Beckmans instead, similar style but with commando sole.

>>6927390
Or that, yeah.

>>6927390
>RW Beckmans

B..But... Beckmans are disgusting.

Could it work to put a rubber sole underneath, or will it look weird?

How do I go about buying boots if I have huge legs? I can't really wear boot cut jeans because of it, so I have to resort to straight cut which I'm not sure looks the best with boots.

Retail? yes.

Damn all these Murrikan products. Where can I buy decent boots in Europe?

>>6920909
Nice clown shoes bra. You got a pic of you wearing them?

Also, if you're a 5'10 manlet is it ok to wear boots?

>>6927427
Straights look fantastic with boots. Most brands of jeans have wide enough leg openings for you to cuff them over your boots.

Never buy bootcut ever

Am I the only one that thinks wingtips are pig disgusting?

Any opinions on the dressiness (Or lack thereof) of RW Beckmans? Could I get away wearing them with say, a cardigan and chinos? 1k miles aren't an option due to weather.

1kmile montgomerys just got here. really soft leather, extremely comfortable out of the box. soles seem like they'll be great for snow. definitely a good purchase.

>>6930103
it could work, i think theyre pretty versatile.

>>6930156
>>6930156
I think I'm gonna pick myself up some montgomerys.
http://www.jackthreads.com/wolverine-1000-mile/footwear/boots/montgomery/products/140968
Should I get black or light grey?

>>6930103
With a cardigan and chinos? Of-fucking-course. That combo is so damned basic.

The "dressiness" aspect is limited, though. Those boots should only be worn in business casual functions, or even a date. Don't be the jackass who wears his boots in a suit, with Chelsea boots being an exception.
> mfw I've seen some spergs wearing military boots in their polyester Kohl's suits.

>>6930242
i got mine from that sale too, the light gray, these >>6930156 . its not really gray at all, id hesitate to even call it a taupe, its much more brown than gray. but im not complaining, its a nice color.
be careful on sizing though. i ordered a 9, im usually a 9.5, and theyre still a little big.

>>6930286
Oh, so those pictured are 'light grey?"

>>6930286
those light grey ones are more brown you say?
I'm about to cop and hoping they are more of a brown. They look brown on the site,

>>6930308
>>6930317
yeah this is "light gray," in good lighting. i would definitely call it brown

Since this is the best place to ask, I've been thinking about picking up a pair to use all year round. What are the pros of boots and the cons of them over my low top canvas shoes? I've seen people walk around in them and they look really good, my favorite shoes are brown so I'm wondering if I can get away with a boot being a rounder guy.

>>6930156
>>6930338
I have these in black, love them

>>6930366
if it get warm where you live you probably cant wear them all the time. you cant wear them with shorts typically. they would definitely be better than canvas shoes for colder weather though. i wear boots about 1/2 the year typically

>>6930338
Good sir!
Just basically got the last pair in stock

>>6930387

It's not too bad where I live, it's about 50-60 degrees from September all the way to April when it starts to become about 70 and peaks in July-August at high 80s.

I know I can't wear them like 24/7 365, but is it worth investing in compared to my canvas shoes? I really like the brown boot blue jeans look a lot though I'm not sure if it is /fa/.

It starts to cool off in October and November when it starts to go down into the mid to low 40s, December it's usually mid to low 30s and January goes down to about 10-20 before it starts to warm back up in February back to high 20s.

>>6930425
yeah youd be able to wear them a good amount.its not gothninja fag /fa/ obviously, but nice boots are certainly fashionable

>>6930156

damn, these look good

>>6930452

>gothninja /fa/

Which is why I came to ask here about them before I bought a pair that scream Crawling in my Skin every time I take a step.

Can boots be /fa/ with polos? I'm stuck in this position where I like the more formal shirts such as polos but I also like the look of a laborer on the bottom. I don't know if it deals with me being the kind of person who is both in an office and on the floor calculating and checking everything.

>>6930468
>polos
nah polos kinda suck
wear ocdbs and flannels and shit like that

more casual button downs that give the same feeling as a polo, but without looking bad

>>6930468
something in the style of a 1000 mile boot is versatile, you could wear them with anything from jeans and a white t shirt to chinos and a button down with a blazer

>>6930474

I'm not all familiar with the types of shirts and such at all, care to explain what the differences are? I usually go Polo, Jeans and my canvas sneakers but I'd like some more variety in my attire.

I have a slightly wide bodytype, so it's more difficult to find /fa/ clothing to wear that I like and makes me look good and not fedoratier.

this is an oxford button down
this one is cotton

it's lightweight and way more casual than a dress shirt while still having a serious / formal tone

it looks great on most body types and can be worn in nearly any situation

like every store from old navy to mrporter sells them

>>6930505

Where can I pick up a whole variation of shirts without busting my bank? I only have about a variation of about a week and a half worth of shirts, I'd like to double that number at least.

>>6930505
you can pick up the classic blue ocbd from j.crew for like $45? it's the one i posted right there

you can get more shirts like that from j. crew, banana republic, gap, that sorta shit. old navy has really shitty versions of them, but i wouldn't recommend them.

i have maybe ~8 of the one that i posted in different colors. ranging from blue / white stripes to white to black to floral

>>6918815
I know this isn't what you guys had in mind but thoughts on these would be appreciated. Need some winter boots and the boots posted before wouldn't fit my style.

>>6930530
uniqlo's ocbds are a VERY nice buy. only $30 and in a bunch of colors, very nice-fitting too. go for it

been lusting over this boot for a while now, oak street brown hunt.

>>6930788
but then again, I also want these, except cap toe.

I'm lusting over the hunt boots, but think I might be better off getting the trench boot. I know the answer is that I should get the hunt boot, but I want to know what you like more. Not that I would base my decision on that or anything.

I got hit pretty hard by a marshmallow sole craving about a week ago.

>>6930818
>wants captoe over a normal toe
wwhyyyyyyyy

>>6930836
Cap toe > plain toe > moc toe
Tru fax muh nig

>>6930836
I think a plain toe looks too...empty. The cap fills in some of that empty space

>>6930545
these are fresh, they seem like a bit of a hard silhouette to work with but they look sweet.

>>6930836
>>6930842
Also, it's less formal. A plain toe would be fine for a more preppy style than mine. That's also why I haven't gotten a pair of 1k's yet.

>>6930842
>I think a plain toe looks too...empty

Some prefer not to draw attention to the length of their boots

>>6930836
tastes/preferences?

>>6930818

>>6930851
I get that, I don't want clown shoes either. I've got pretty small feet for my height (9.5, 6'2"), So I'm usually not too worried about it.

>>6930788
Also slightly worried about the bicycle stitching here, I think it works well and might be the only place where it does, but it still evokes a "no" in my mind. otherwise they're perfect though.

>>6930058

No fellow brits here?

yo, cop or not?

>>6933343

I don't know. Do you want brown Chucks?

>>6933332
Apart from a few newcastle lads, Brits can't do fashsion.

Heck, there are way more Ozzies here.

>>6930058

herringshoes.co.uk

mostly dressshoes/boots but thats all I got. they hold sales occasionally when you can cop some great shoes for a fraction of the real price.

>>6933399
Where do you shop for shoes? Yoox?

>>6933420

for sneakers and such I rely on some webstores that operate in my country or the neighbouring one. one in particular has some sweet deals (buy 3, pay for 2). http://www.footway.se/

I mostly have to rely on webstores. The nearest place where any nicer shoes can be bought resides 300km to the south and american products are really scarce and overpriced...

>Not one mention of broken homme

>>6933529
Because Broken Homme is awful.

>>6924528
Get solovair if you want docs. Same shit as old docs, made out of docs old factory.

How are these?
I'm gonna need a pair of boots but they have to be black.

These clarks just came in at KithNYC

Like em, and at 135 its pretty good

>>6934075
Did you change the laces? That red reminds me of clowns.

selling my 1k factory 2nds if anyone is interested

>>6934075

Not bad for the more aggressive styling.

what are some good quality combat boots?
also if i usually wear a size 8.5 - 9, would i be a size 8 boot? or does that depend on the boot

>>6935006

Budget? Style? Colors?

>>6935021
not sure about budget, i like black but am open to others.
no brogue is preferable, not cap toe, and really want a long lasting boot over quick fix.
Something for winter weather, as i live in nyc and it gets pretty snowy\slushy sometimes.

>>6932495
that's not bicycle stitching

it's a double vamp moccasin construction which is done for actual functional benefits

Danner Forest Heights

I really like the silhouette of these boots, but I hate how the brand name is smeared on the heel. The brand does have a good reputation for durability though. I'd just get 1000k but they get posted so often...

>>6927362
You can just get a thin rubber sole and heel glued on for the weather

>>6919542

Wrong as shit, Redwings are attractive in prettymuch every way except the fact that they're a manlier silhouette. You fuccbois are just mad you can't wear them with skintight jeans without looking like you belong on Lookbook.nu

Wear mildly tapered darkwash jeans with them and they look god tier.

Katas have shit leather anyways, and they're overpriced these days. If you want a slim boot go for Dayton's or Viberg.

Timberland Eathkeepers.

What do you think?

>>6919968

Those are made in china.

>>6935410

Pics of vibergs.

Here are some daytons.

>>6935419

Those are shit

>>6935410
w2c jeans

>Wear mildly tapered darkwash jeans with them and they look god tier.
pic unrelated?

>>6935443

Redwing Sand Chukka.

>>6935443
Why do you say that?

>>6935450

That fit is pretty good, nothing exceptional but the boots look fantastic.

>>6935457

They look like the lovechild of Visvim and Ecco.

>>6935463
>That fit is pretty good
>>6935410

Nah it's a shit palette.

>>6935463
This is much nicer.

>>6935480

Talk shit, post fit.

>>6935463
Oh man. What boots are those?

>>6935503
lel this is bad too
MFA can't into colors.

>>6935457
overcomplicated stitching.

>>6935503
>brown pants to brown boots
Absolutely disgusting

>>6935503
Normally when I trash the palette of a fit I would just drop it into photoshop and fix the colors myself, but this dude's so chubby it'll still look bad.

>>6935510
1907 moc toes in copper

>>6935538
That seems like an odd thing to do

>>6935510

redwing moctoes

>>6935522

those pants khaki, not brown, are you colorblind?

>>6935538

except he's not chubby, he wears an XS in uniqlo.

>>6935563
>That seems like an odd thing to do
I enjoy it. Gives me practice working with colors. Shows I'm not full of shit.

>>6935567
>except he's not chubby
If his clothes are making him look chubby when he's not, then guess what? His clothes don't fit and his fit is bad.

>>6934075
where the fuck is this place
i checked 644 broadway, it's a gated place

>>6934075
pretty sweet for Clark's

>>6935567
>those pants khaki, not brown, are you colorblind?
Brown on my screen dog. But I've also dropped this laptop a ton so it might be broken. What're the RGB values?

What are some good slimmer profile black boots? I'm not looking for anything that's too boxy and I haven't really found anything I'm that into

>>6927410

>beckmans are disgusting

explain yourself.

>>6919491
I want something exactly like this but have small feet [size 6 US] am I fucked /Fa/?
