Those look like shit. They are most likely one of those flimsy ass fashion boots like H-by-Hudson or similar. You recognize them from the fact that the leather looks like crepe paper more than anything.

The leather looks awful, and the brand doesn't make me think any differently; They're Johnston & Murphy Hattington wingtip boots.

Reverse image search is your friend.

Wait, on further inspection, it doesn't seem to be so, even though that's what they're listed as on what I found. They're very similar though.

Try looking at that guy's site, it's Kolonel Mustard or whatever cheesy name.

peter pan prop boots for a low budget play

they're ugly shit, you just like them because of the photo

the style is brogue boots, something like a tan or light brown color. many brands do that, and some do it much better than others.

you might look into Tricker's Stow boots, Alden wingtip boots, Grenson Fred boots, Allen Edmonds Dalton boots, Loake Burford boots, or Sanders Aintree boots.

there are cheaper options out there, but as far as I'm aware they all suck

I like the worn leather look... I think it's a sharp look to a casual outfit.

It'll get worn but in a good way due to being quality leather. It will look worn and like it has seen life but not shitty and ready to fall apart like your pic.

you know how you get worn leather? you get leather boots, and you wear them. that's where the word comes from: the boots "have been worn".

or you can buy them worn-in for you, like you're suggesting

you can go ahead and buy pre-distressed boots but I guarantee that it will look like shit

but you know what go make that mistake for yourself, I don't really care whether you waste your money

grab some pre-distressed boots, and some pre-faded jeans too. it will look really sharp, and super authentic. you'll be like a fuckin' cowboy, with your 100% badass pre-distressed made in China pleather boots that you got at the mall

you could look into some really quality brands like Bed Stu or H by Hudson (pic related) for that epic "I bought these because I want to look like I have an exciting lifestyle" look. It's just like the boots your cool great grandpa used to wear (although he probably wouldn't have paid good money for boots that were already thoroughly used, and he also might have been shocked by the abysmal workmanship)

but really, all this is subjective. there's nothing objectively wrong with pre-distressed boots. you can buy whatever hideous piece of shit you like.

This is another great example of "the worn leather look" that you're going for. It's a sharp look to a casual outfit, like you said! I call it "smart casual", because when people see the way it crinkles (sign of a good pre-worn leather) they will know exactly how smart you are.

fuck off with this dadshit already

boots like these, by comparison, simply won't do. they're too clean, like they've never been used to trudge through a creek, or been out for a day on the range. it's not going to tell people "this guy lives life on the edge," which is what they need to know about you: that you're a real guy's guy, you've been around the block a few times. You're the kind of rugged dude who needs someone to put your boots in the washing machine to faux-age them before you'll let them anywhere near your feet. and you know how to dress it up into a smart evening look with some jeans and a cardigan over a t-shirt.

or maybe you're just a really suave old-fashioned kind of man. you like cafés and "soulful" music, and you know how to rock a vest or a fedora. urban hip, turn-of-the-century cool. the boots are fresh and new, but with a hint of something classic and timeless -- like Starbucks, or the band Train.
