which of these would best go with black zepsys?

>>7995249
I like the 1460 in that color

But if you wear them like boots all the teens wearing the low end mall tier docs like the ones sold at skate shops will mock you for not rolling your pant leg up 6 inches

Or showing off the doc logo

It's a classic cheapmgersion of a decent work boot ruined by Tweens and teens

Just buy engineer boots

>>7995255

>>7995264
the general look i want to pull of with docs is like this

bump

>>7995275
well that's a pretty easy look to pull off so you can be well on your way soon

what should my first boot be if I'm in the 200 dollar range?

>>7995275
are those the 1460s?

>>7995275
w2c top

>>7995275
Skin us tucked into boots look shit

I'm trying to buy a pair of the brown LL bean katahdin boots, but I live in sydney and checked online and we don't have any stockhists. What should I do? Gamble and buy em online. Wats the fit like??

Also just wanted to add that I've got a pair of the brown Montgomery 1000mile boot which I love but don't wear as much as I should since the leather on them is really shinny. To the point where it kinda looks like a brown plastic and that's why they don't get as much wear and I'm trying to cop a pair of the katahdins. Possible to give em a hot soak like a leather jacket to remove the sheen and make em look weathered ???

>>7995379
Depends, what kind of silhouette do you want them to have, a chunkier one, or a slim one?

>>7995449
just roughen them up

>>7995520
Anyone own any of these?

>>7995452

>>7995275
This guys fits are always on point.
What are the boots/shirt/pants?

>>7995583
no idea i wanna know though

>>7995583
>>7995590
From what I can tell, the shirt is a uniqlo corduroy shirt. Boots kinda look like black clark's desert mali's. Pic related

>>7995603
link for w2c them shoes and shirt? thanks man

>>7995613
do a fucking google search you lazy cunt

i bought these and swapped out the laces for dark brown ones, what kind of leather care do i need for it, or can i just let them get worn out?

Just copped these on ebay, hoping I lucked out and finally found a nice cheap pair of brown boots

Don't know anything about the brand: Bed Stu

Oh well. $80 isn't the end of the world if they turn out to be shitty. What do you guys think?

>>7995519
Slimmer one probably, nothing work wear looking. probably on the dressier side. I really like the AE Dalton, but I'm looking for something slightly cheaper.

>>7995613
Shirts are sold out.
You can get the boots off amazon for about $100, which is $45 less than from Clarks.

About to pull the trigger - I think these are fucking killer, but I have no idea what I could wear them with.

They're original Luftwaffe boots, and they're my size. Ideas? Help me dress up like the people who bombed my relatives in Poland, internet-friends!

>>7995627
I'd like them a lot more without that zip, practicality be damned. Still, 80 bucks you say? Not like anyone buy yourself is going to notice the zip (unless you wear fucking shorts with them like some kind of retarded)

>>7995627
From what I'm aware Bed Stu's quality is questionable at best. But yeah, $80 isn't the end of the world, unless you're a poorboi like me.

>>7995634
>and they're my size.
You sure about that m8?
If these are ww2 era boots the sizing might be quite different from what you're used to today.

If you really want to be sure get te seller to run a tape measure on the inside from heel to toe just to make sure.

Also, you'd better hope you don't have cankles or some shit (have you ever worn top boots before?).

If you're a manlet, forget about it. Top boots only look good on the reasonably tall (and slim) and will look ridiculous on the short, squat and fat (unless your're fucking goring but that doesn't count)

>>7995632
What color are you looking for?

>>7995636
The zip bothers me, too. Such a bummer, and pretty effeminate. But yeah, should be decently hidden I hope.

>>7995640
Aw, really? Poo. I hope these hold up - I have a pair of Dan Post boots I've been wearing daily since my shoes decided to fall apart... may or may not have been stretching the truth about $80 not being a big deal to my broke ass, haha

>>7995634
I can't imagine those are affordable... maybe look for non-authentic jackboots somewhere else? If those are actually authentic, they probably deserve to be kept somewhere safe instead of worn, but that's just me. No clue how you could pull those off to be honest, unless you were going for a warped goth/punk look or something.

Remember that the shaft of those boots, and any jackboot, is going to be really wide, so looser-fitting pants are going to be a must. That is, unless you're going for the full Adolph and tucking the pants into the boots. Lol. Please post a fit if you buy them!

>>7995632
Slim boots are somewhat of a rarity in the lower dollar segment unfortunately. That price range seems to be dominated by work boots or "the work boot aesthetic", so chunky as soles and bulbous toes.

You can check out the Chippewa service boot. It's marginally better than the typical red wings and wolverines.

Bit more than 200 new I think.

>>7995621
any1?

>>7995656
>and pretty effeminate.
lol tell that to all the dick ovens geobastards wearers

>>7995653
Whatever is the most versatile. Black or brown probably.

>>7995621
>what kind of leather care do i need for it
>>7995663

It depends really on what kind of leather it is, and how it is treated (is it waxy coated? if so it's already inherently water resistant).

If you want to waterproof them for whatever reason, then use waterproofing like obernauf's. If you just want to nourish the leather if its dry then boot cream/boot oil/mink oil/generic leather conditioner from any good brand will do.

>>7995632
Honestly, if the shipping wasn't absolutely horrendous I'd suggest Chevalier's. Massdrop did a drop recently where 60 people got them for $220 shipping included, but it'll probably be a while before that happens again. If you're in the U.S. the shipping alone makes it almost $300 from what I remember.

>>7995675
At that price for the chevaliers I'd go for the OSB trench massdrop instead tbh. >>7995452

At least with those I know that they're not using a shitty insole for blake/rapid (OSB's gywelted and leather insoled)

>>7995647
She did, actually! They're the same measurements as my current boots, save for a bit slimmer on the sides.

...but they're terrible, right? Like, what a stupid way to spend my money... right?

>>7995688
>...but they're terrible, right? Like, what a stupid way to spend my money... right?
pretty much, unless they're for cosplay
they're not even good equestrian boots
but if you have the cash to splash and you want it so bad why ask?

Could these be worn causally or are they a bit too show-offy?

>>7995686
Normally I'd probably agree, but you can get a plain toe variant that's goodyear welted from what I've gathered from Chevalier's site. Also, the only gripe I have with the OSB's is that they're final sale.

>>7995700
they are ONLY casual
I dont' really understand what you mean by that
it's not as if you could ever wear them with a suit, formally

>>7995664
>>7995675
Thanks, I was looking at the Chippewa service boot earlier, looks nice as shit. Both of these are really good recs for what I'm looking for

>>7995703
Yeah I've seen the plaintoes. But the whole point is that cap toe for me.
Plain toed boots and shoes end up looking worse for wear IME, and the cap makes it interesting.
>the only gripe I have with the OSB's is that they're final sale.
wtf does that even mean? I don't quite get what they mean by that.

>>7995724
It means that if there's anything wrong, you're stuck with them no matter what. No returns, refunds, etc.

acne

>>7995603
wrong, shirt is acne, boots are kva
