I bet you watch the daily show and thought The Avengers was a good movie

>>7787830
no to both

those cuffs
those hideous, hideous cuffs

>>7787833
I Should have probably used a better pic

>>7787800
wow that fit is all over gis, no wonder you posted it

if we're gonna talk about these boots, let's look at a better example

>>7787800
>inb4 wolverines those cost like 100 more.
skip the wolves m8, they may be more expensive but:

leather soles = less durable = resole around the corner (not cheap comparatively speaking),

more fragile leather which though nice isn't for a boot of that styling - innumerable instances of qc issues with wolves compared with redwing, + redwing have their own tannery = better leather qc compared ro wolves, who in all likelihood buy cxl low tier.

Qc issues with wolve construction on general more prevalent in internet discussions compared with rw

wolverine cheaped out with an integral point lf construction : the insole, which is essentially a fancy cardboard
rw still use good old fashioned tried and tested leather insoles for heritage line

only reason makers switch to fibreboard is because cheaper eg allen edmonds (cept due to pressure are swapping back to leather)

for all these points rw heritage line boots are steal compared to the 1k mile, and if you're usa revole 30% off makes them so cheap (210$)

get the ir or even the beck and be done with pseudo work boots forever you flaming homosex

that is until your thirst makes you hop on the current sufu bandwagon for vibergs like puss puss you are

They look like clown shoes just get some red octobers breh

wolverines BLOWN THE FUCK OUT

bumo

>not getting black
if you're going to spend that much for boots at least get the right color sheesh

>>7790522
you might be right, I seen a lot of faggots wearing them brown but the cork soles look nasty with the black

>>7790525
the beckmans come with a proper sole . pic related got them last week

>>7790537
lowkey the stitching and sole contrast throws it off for me

>>7787928

how do i do revolve 30% off

>>7790522
>black IRs
vomit

If you like them, sure (unless you have twig legs and size 11+ feet with a low instep - then you might want to reconsider)

I couldn't do it just because I always die a little inside when I see someone wearing a piece that I own, makes it feel less special

but I'm neurotic about that kind of thing

>>7790605
I am a big guy so I gues they would go

>>7787800
I have Red Wings but you might also look at LL Bean Katahdin Iron Works boots. Essentially the same idea and also well made.

>>7790564
tfw i got black ones and i kinda regret it

>>7791003
>LL Bean Katahdin Iron Works boots
those things have chippewa soles?

Are they frankensteins or something?

I have amber and hawthorne Iron Rangers. If i could do it again, i would've gotten aldens

>>7791024
>>LL Bean Katahdin Iron Works boots
>those things have chippewa soles?
>Are they frankensteins or something?


no, chippewa makes the entire boot FOR llbean

>>7791024
Do you even English?

People are so freaking stupid what the hell happened to /fa/ everything that is nice is now fucking dadcore? Just because you guys are a bunch of fuccbois doesn't mean that people that dress better than you are fucking dadcore go freaking kill yourselves you dicks. OP they look pretty nice i own a pair of black ones and they make your outfit look a lot better.

>>7792025
there were 3 mentions of "dadcore" in the thread. 2 of them were you. quit bitching

>>7787800

This thread has turned into typical /fa/ mudslinging but I'll throw my two cents at you.

The long and short of it is that the IR remain rooted to a more rugged 'working' look while the 1000 miles are significantly more dressy. I've had both (black 1000 mile, tan IR) and I only kept my IR's. Much easier to wear without looking overdressed.

>>7787928
This guy is right too, the entire construction of the 1000 mile felt thinner and less robust.

My best suggestion is find a shop a go and actually look at them in person these fucking style photos floating around online don't help a goddamn thing.

>>7792048
dadcore trip

can you guys post some IR inspo?

I've got a pair of IRs in black and I love them. I recently had them resoled with commando lug soles. Perfect.

>>7792906

>>7787800
Iron Rangers have a big toe, if you have big feet it'll be a bad combo.

>>7790605
>>7792914
>>7792937

Goddammit wish I hadn't sold my amber IR's.

>>7787800
I can't give an honest opinion with those horrible jeans. If you were to roll your pants up some, I think they would benefit. The toebox is a bit too angled so it looks kind of odd, but the full boot balances it out.

>>7795290
US12? I have strong legs doe

>>7795304
why did you sell them

should i cop, fa

>>7787894

>if we're gonna talk about these boots, let's look at a better example

okay
where is it

Wolverines are beautiful. I own three pair. Obviously not all 1000 miles.

>>7795611
Try and find images or information on how the leather ages. They could be, in time and with wear beautiful shoes but personally I don't dig that color of tan but I'd wear them if it deepened with time and consistent use.

>>7795679
yeah there are other colors

>>7795691
also been looking at this one (dif sole)

>>7795691
holy shit those are beautiful

How good are these Wolverine steel toe /fa/? Should I cop?

>>7795667
yeah i think wolverines get a bad rep here (i think???) because of the whole anti-"dadcore" movement but id recommend them to anyone has a pair of first "nice" boots

Sounds like bullshit

I have to admit, the reason I hate 1k miles is very simple. pic related

theyre more popular?

>>7796394
>>7796390
it's a recent internet trend on the up right now, and clearly growing

I don't like buying into the hyped shoe of the moment, sorry if that's not a pure and innocent motivation but if I'm honest I have to admit that it makes me like them less

>>7796389
this makes me so fucking angry as well

its because the 2 shoes are made out of leather from 2 diff animals, or diff parts of the animal

>people who remove the American flag from Chippewas
disgusting

>>7796413
u do realize not buying something because its trendy is as if not more pathetic than buying something because its trendy?

>>7795769
p-pls respond

>>7795769
>>7796430
Columbine core. Aka don't cop.

>>7796422
I disagree

I don't think it's pathetic to try to differentiate yourself from other people -- it's not the highest of aspirations, sure, but it's natural enough. I don't buy into the whole "you are not a special snowflake" bullshit that 4chan has been pushing for years, I think it's a sad excuse to stop trying to be interesting.

I'm not saying that the desire for differentiation alone makes you any different, but there's something noble about wanting to have a unique and valid perspective. We can't all achieve it, but it's good to at least try; to "stress the power of the individual", as Martin Amis put it. Maybe I'm not going to contribute to the world in any meaningful way, but I'm at least not going to wear the same fucking boots as everyone else who posts in the same internet community as I do.

it doesn't much phase me that you think it's pathetic -- of course you would. your own wardrobe reeks of "dressed by the internet", except in the few pieces where it hopelessly fails (eg the blue dbss that you can't make to work with anything), and you have absolute contempt for everything you don't agree with

and in general I don't much care for the opinions of people who don't see how looking like a skinhead is a bad thing

but even if I didn't think your take on fashion was laughable, it wouldn't change my opinion of your contempt for any attempt to be different. I think "individuality", though its reputation has been tarnished, is still a good aim.

>>7796507
damn I was really enjoying your post til you went all ad hominem, that really diluted the overall message. So I guess I agree with you 50%

muh boots

>>7797616
lolew

>>7797628
nah.
they're the bomb.
you have no idea.

>>7797640
Post a fit then faggot.

>>7795778
for what do you need citation shitbull?

red wing do have their own tannery
wolve do not
rw have a more intimate connection with their leather because of such like you and your mumsies

anecdotal: more complaints about wolverine leather and constuction on all fashion forums like SF, sufufuf and even those leddit fagogts despite both rw heritage and 1k's bein very popular

perhaps those buying 1k's more more discerning than those buying more rugged rw heri?
dunno
problems seen with 1k miles = leather qc issues

horween tannery that make cxl have varying grades - top used by estmeed shoemakers worldwide

low used by places like wolve et.al.

wolves fault for being cheap, their clicking process not cutting the bad leather out

more bad leather cut out = waste = gotta pay for more leather

they're trying to scrounge as much as possible out of a single hide

better makers cut out poorer parts of the hide, part of their qc

concerning insole: note that the 1k mile is more comfy initially compared to IR et.al

note that footbed of 1k is slightly more cushioned whereas IR is rockhard like that cock in your coit

real leather isn't as

also this vid:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aun1-O0SgsI&t=1m33s

note the black insole - def not leather insole - some kind of synthetic composite material

rw production = leather insole see pic

fibreboard not bad but will need replacing more often than leather insole

lower-mid to top shoemakers in the world only use leather insoles. even loake, lowest uk shoemaker, only uses fibreboard/composite for lower tiers - their higher range 1880 only use leather

fibreboard will absorb all that sweat from your rancid monkey toes and will eventually crumble, leather insole will take 20-30 years to crumble the same way - sooner if your sweat is super rank

cheap boots but on principle rw are better made

>>7796413
>>7796507
this is the same argument i hear against red wings

the thing is, yeah, red wings are popular on the internet, but i barely see them IRL. I've been to many cities and places and I've only seen a couple of RW and like 1 1000 Mile Boots

the only hyped boot that people actually wear is DBs, i see a lot in college

so its even worse that you think this way, because its not like you don't wanna look like others IRL, you don't want to look like other people you'll never meet IRL

Wolverinefags BLOWN THE FUCK OUT

anyone know if there are any quality, good looking boots that aren't made of leather?
I'm just tryna find some effay shit to put on my feet, ain't nothing need to die to make that happen.

>>7799922
pussy

what do you all think of these Wolverine x Filson joints? Prob gna cop when I find my size

>>7787833
Those motherfucking awful cuffs

>>7800002
it's a moctoe with a white wedge sole and this wolverine model doesn't really have anything special going on about it that you can't find from RW, Chippewa or Thoroughgood.

Unless you're really, really set on this particular design for some reason there's no reason to choose these, which are more expensive I think, than any of the other options.

>>7799014
>real leather isn't as
forgive my unclarity plz rape my face

i mean that leather insole are hard
hard as a fat man who's heard the icecream truck

synthetics are generally softer (but not all, and it might just be a cushioned footbed)

in the end it doesn;t really matter, you'll probably get sick of whatever you buy within a few short years anyway

fuccboi

and when you get the wolves leather soles resoled by wolverin they might do a total overhaul and replace the insole too

maybe

but it's not like it's gonna fall apart by next year

outsole, yeah, fucking leather
but not the insole

but like i said it's the principle of the matter, and at least red wang didn't decide cheap out on a fundamental of shoe construction

however, 1k's have better profile than rw's

but that's not by much

if you want better, slimmer, lower profile have to pay more

a lot more

is 50+ leather hassles and resole hassles worth a marginally slimmer toebox?

might be worth it for some, maybe not for others

either way the 1k's have a plain toe so get that fugly midvamp crease (like the beckman rw)

at least captoed shoes break up the crease
less ugly
less noticeable

if you're a poorish fuccboish and you have to buy one burly fakeworkboot because you want to be a big burlish man then red wang, chipps, then thoroughbad

wolves don't figure into it

in the end: buy whatever now

not like in 10yrs you're gonna be wearing it

>>7799922
>ain't nothing need to die to make that happen.

you're going to have to carve boots out of stone to avoid killing anything, bruh.

>>7800172
why is redwings considered fakeworkman boot?

>>7800585
It's now just about RW, but all boots inspired by classic work boots.

It's a silly claim anyway and based on pure semantics ("hurrr i play stupid and assume "work boots" mean modern safety boots"). Pic related, what real, modern work boots look like. I'm OK with calling Red Wings and similar work boots though, because you don't have to go back many decades and real workers used boots just like that for work.

>>7799922

Vegan here. Nothing really replaces leather. Avoid the style all together or buy used.

>>7800756
>It's now just about RW
It's not*

>>7799922

there was that hardcore vegan designer that made shoes out of tree bark? the dude was belgian idk remember his name but they looked sick af

>>7800756
so then they were work boots if they were used back then, so why wouldnt they be today? It would make more sense to consider them classic work boots rather than fake because they actually were used for work.

Hudson Angus'?

>>7787800
I don't see what the problem is. Why is everyone hating? They look like nice boots.

>>7800843
They're not exactly the same as they were back then.

They're a "fake" work boot because no one, and I mean no one, who actually does "work" wears Red Wing Heritage and especially not Wolverine's 1k's.

They wear RW's or Wolve's work wear line.

The only people that buy RW heritage are people that want the american worker image.

It's a fashion, and these are fashion boots and are in no way suited to real work today compared to what is used. They are for the most part bought by poseurs that have never done any heavy lifting in their lives. Hence I guess why they're "fake" work boots. Not necessarily the boots themselves, but the poseurs that buy them.

>>7787830

The avengers was a good movie.

>>7801808
Yeah, the addision version suffers from that awkward seam too.
