Hey /fa/shionistas

I was looking to get some advice from anyone who cares; I put down a throw away bid on these Redwings not expecting to win, but to my surprise a few days later Im being asked for payment.

The winning bid was £70 ($116 / €83) and the condition of the boots are pretty good.

Would you buy them, are they worth the price?

>> No.7939932

Sure they look pretty good.

>> No.7939947

Not a big fan of the moc-toe.

Heel on the vibram sole looks rather worn too. Still, some spit and polish can do wonders.

Maintained properly with the occasional resole these can serve you for many more years to come.

Thanks fellas, Ill think about it some more

>> No.7940011

No, I wouldn't because out of season for me. It's spring and I wouldn't wear a worn pair of boots.
If it was a pair of CPs, on the other hand.

>> No.7940024

i bought my mocs for the same price on ebay
i love them, sturdy and comfy; and mine was easily restored by a local shoe repair shop - too bad the weather is too hot to warrant them

It is worn in, but not at the "need replacement" stage yet.

Do you guys think red wings look too clunky on skinny/slim guys who also dress quite slim?

I've found that Doc boots make me look abit 'foot heavy', making me lean more towards buying their shoes.

To be honest, they're too...'gay' or to be less teenage they're too 'fashiony'
I think there's an authenticity to Red-wings or any older boot/leather brand for that matter, giving them more prestige than contemporary designer stuff.

>> No.7943231

eh, they look worth it. a month or so ago i copped a pair of them in a sort of oxblood for $160, new with defects that were pixed with some shoe glue. a great pair of boots.

But thats the opposite of what I'm suggesting, I'm saying that they have a timelessness to them.

Nope. Different approach to the sole, I really dislike those uniform platform soles.

I take it you can offer alternatives to our shitty choices, give'em up.

ef/fa/y longs for the day when they see another goof ninja at the college they're attending, eating by themselves in the halls.

but day in and day out the same sweat pant clad females displaying the school's colors and logo on their garb pass by taking no interest in the anon's rick owens draped virginity
