Perhaps you should just buy any boot whose upper fits you well and then just have them resoled? The sole is negotiable with a good cobbler, but the other stuff isn't and if those are your sticking points, then just deal with the sole later.

>>7169926
I've never been to a cobbler, I'm not even sure if my city has one, but what can I expect selection wise from a cobbler? are flat black rubber soles common?
>>7169921
close but just not flat.

>>7169726
why should we help you, prick?

>>7170004

Not that uncommon at all. If he doesn't have it, just buy it on Amazon and bring it in.

>>7170034
I looked through some ebay soles, almost none of them show the profile. even the vibram site, just tons of images of the bottom.

are there other terms aside from crepe or 'flat' I could use? flat doesn't always translate to reduced heel, and I don't necessarily need crepe.

I'm probably on my own from here on, thanks for the suggestions though.

no idea about the quality.

>>7169726
Grenson for SSENSE

not my favourite boot but it fits your description. or maybe it's too thick or not flat enough. idk

don't suppose you like Yuketen, op

btw the lighting is weird here, the back piece is not brown, it's the same black as elsewhere

>>7170096
thanks, that's doable.
I can paint the sole
and change the laces.

here's my other thought, taking something like these and buffing the nubs on the boot down myself
the only problem is with the boots I currently own the rubber sole has stitches on the bottom of the rubber between the nubs, I'm worried if I buff the nubs down I could damage this thread and ruin the boot.

my boots are fryes, I'd do this to some cheaper timbs. they might not have the same construction.
the other bigger problem is that I'd be altering my step and possibly hurting my back by not taking equal amounts off the heel to the toe.

>>7170104
>>7170121
thanks, I definitely like the first more, actually a combination of the grenson with the sole of the yuketen
I'm going for more of an urban vibe so highly visible grain and moc toe style is more of a heritage style imo.

>>7170123
oh man are you serious? the ralph lauren ones are so ugly

>>7170137
black moccasins are a bit hybrid-ish imo. hard to call them strictly heritage with a colorway like that; besides the fact that moccasins have a weird place in western 'heritage'. but I can see how it's not particularly urban, in a sense

what's the reason for your requirement about the sole? do you feel that heels are somehow aesthetically wrong for what you're aiming at?

Also, are you open to sneakers? Because sneakers sound a lot like what you want...

>>7170170
I don't know how to explain it, but any sort of elevated heel, or nubs in the sole, in my mind clash with an outfit with a truly modern and urban outfit. I still like the aesthetic of a boot, it's professional and utilitarian. not too lustrous but also not too 'grainy'

I don't suppose an elevated heel has any place in a concrete environment, and it's also just not as comfortable.
I still want it to be lace up, though.

slimmer pants also pronounce that heel, the focal point bothers me. I want the minimalism of the rest of my outfit to be coherent with my shoes and vice versa.

>>7170251

if you've ever spent time on your feet, on concrete. the one consistent urban material. you would understand the necessity of an appropriately cushioned heel.

>>7170251
yeah man you're describing sneakers. You're not gonna find a nice boot with a heel that's not somewhat pronounced.

>>7170078
black vibram sole

>>7170121
this is dope

>>7170251
have you considered wedge soles? They're higher profile but the effect is similar though a little more dramatic

>>7170303

can confirm

mine are lugged 2", but they're shock absorbent as FUCK

>>7170188
a shoe is too leisurely.

>>7170285
are you truly, truly implying, that by some magical and invisible mechanism, a lack of material between an elevated heel and the rest of the sole supports your heel differently?

sneakers have no separate elevation, and they happen to be pretty popular for three or four decades now.

I'm not asking for no sole, I'm asking for a flat sole. whether there's a half inch sole, or a three inch sole, thickness was never part of the description. I'm asking for the bottom of the shoe to have no break in linearity between the toe and the heel.

>>7170291
there have been several images in this thread posted already that are near perfect examples of what I'm looking for, here's another

>>7170316
>I'm asking for the bottom of the shoe to have no break in linearity between the toe and the heel.

This is actually pretty uncommon. Even the flattest last and trimmest sole will almost always account for the natural roll and arch of a foot and result in a slightly raised back heel. The only consistently flat-bottomed styles will be simpler pieces of footwear like sandles and espadrilles. This is going to be pretty hard to find. I'm a pretty anal retentive shopper myself, but this seems a little over the top, even to me.

>>7170311
I'm 6', I'm not comfortable with wedges. people would just think I'm trying too hard. that's a good example though.
>>7170312
>>7170303
lol vibram makes about a thousand different black soles including the ones on my fryes that are next to me right now. they're not very flat.

>>7170324

cop some acrylic soles and belt-sand those fuckers down to the footbed

>>7170323
sorry I don't mean that it won't have curve, I just mean that toe to heel won't be broken
this is all I'm asking for.

>>7170345

boots with sneaker soles look painfully autismal

cop some fucking converse hi-tops if you want a flat bottom brah

>>7170285
Not OP, but a heel shifts weight forward onto your knee caps. Not good if you have any split cartilage there, like me. That's why I love vans. Completely flat.

>>7170345

what are those on the left?

>>7170356

probably docs

>>7170336
I find this googling that term
if it weren't for the disgraceful redwing tier toebox it would be damned near perfect.

>>7170352
nah I want boots. and if this thread says anything, I don't think I'm the only one interested in boots like this.
>>7170356
>>7170362

yes, doc marten 'mayer' model.

>>7170377

fair enough dubs-man

but if you're going for flat bottom, go for moc toes.

they're the only boots that look like they should be flat all throughout.

>>7170316
Can anyone confirm for me if these are the boots in pic related? Been looking for ages.

If not, anyone know w2c? I'm looking for pretty much the same as OP but in suede. Like the Clarks black/black DBs but in a full boot.

>>7170509
Look kind of like these with the sole worn down?

what about these?

>>7170078

Reviving the thread.

I\ve been considering buying these for a month or so, but I\m starting to have doubts. What do you guys think? Also, does anyone have any experience ordering from Varusteleka?

>>7172809
uh rick?

>>7173935
A friend of mine orders stuff from there regularly and hasn't complained yet. He lives in belgium atm. Don't think there will be any problems in ordering inside EU, but outside the postage fees might rocket up a bit

I'm from finland and some of the product descriptions are just hilarious.

>>7170306
word, nicest boots posted so far. Hoping the pricetag isn't crazy expensive... might cop

Why is it so hard to find boots in the vein of the common projects combat boots for a lower price? Everything seems to either be overdesigned as fuck or have a huge toebox. All i fucking want right now is a pair of boots identical to doc martens in styling but with a silhouette that doesn't look silly as fuck with slim jeans.

Well, I live in Sweden, so the only transportation problem that may arise is that they put dung in my package as a joke.

Any thoughts on the boots themselves?

>>7172775
i want these soooo bad
