>>8100471
Fuck you OP, DMs are the best.

>>8100500
hey thats my pic! good feels.

since taking that, one of the quick-lace eyelets sheared in half. i can still tie the boots, but will redwing fix the eyelet or send me new boots, cus id prefer to keep the leather i put so much work into so i wouldnt mind seeing a cobler instead.

>>8100538
>chunky heel
>shit china quality
>goth punk emocore

Yeah, sure.

>>8100505
pretty sure the rest of that fit would look like shit

>>8100538
>womens boots

id rather ask here than start a new thread, do you guys have any pictures of beckmans fits/inspo?

>iron rangers prices have finally sky rocketed because of the huge band wagon these past few years

fuck you all

>tfw no cheap good boot

>>8100665
iron rangers last year was that boot.

doc marterns if you're a girl

clarks desert mahli if you're a guy

>>8100656
How much were they before? I copped mine for $300 and felt like it was a fair price.

>>8100708
no more than $220

I recall them being very popular, especially over other heritage boots such as the beckman, not because they were less formal than the beckman, but because of the price. It looks like now they're nearly on par with the beckman, so maybe we'll be seeing people moving towards those soon.

>>8100717
Damn, I thought getting mine for $220 on eBay was a steal.

>iron ranger inspo
>not wearing wolverine

>>8100728
I think the reason wolverines aren't as popular online is due to all the QC issues. Imo if you are gonna buy wolverines you should by them in person.

>>8100743
What do you mean by QC issues and does it have anything to do with styleforum?

>>8100752
Quality control, and nothing to do with styleforum as far as I know. The way wolverine cuts the leather can cause problems since sometimes they don't cut around the flawed areas.

>>8100647

>>8100505
cuffing pants above high top sneakers and boots usually looks retarded

>>8100769
Red Wing Beckmans

>>8100763
Oh alright, for some reason since you mentioned the online part I assumed it had something to do with their customers complaining en masse or something on forums.

>>8100769

>>8100743
There's actually a graph somewhere saying the 1ks are more popular, but I don't think it's backed by anything.
Anyways, I bought Wolverines online & they're fine. Even got them for almost a hundred less than normal.

>>8100773
Just bought a pair on Amazon.

I went to my local Red Wing shoe store to try them on. The pair I wanted was 320 dollars there.

I got on amazon and they were 290 dollars. I signed up for the fashion email news letter and got a 20 percent off voucher.

Got them for 220 dollars with free shipping.

I just love all my Wolverines :')

Must be nice being generic tier. Once you break past MFA Clarks tier, then you go into Iron Ranger/1000 Mile tier.

>>8100830
a hierarchy of mediocrity.

>>8100717
my cousin just got some off amazon for $240

are you retarded or is this a rhetorical question?

>>81004I've had mine for almost a year now. Can confirm they are awesome

>>8100830
its super nice cus that places me above all these tiers:
>mfa tier (CDBs)
>Fratboy tier (timberlands)
>scene tier (surplus and docs)
>redneck tier (steel toes and loggers)
>poor/fa/g tier (palladiums)

size 12 amber harness: $238
copper (imo the best finish) however is significantly more expensive at $309

>>8100831
you need some tan addisons.

i bought my iron rangers for 160$ at nordstrom, wore them for a year and a half and sold them for 150$ lulz

>>8101244
gross. I can do moc toe, but I don't want anything else on my boot.

>>8100656
This is pretty much what happened to Converse almost two decades ago. Shit was in bins at Woolworth for less than $20 for a quality pair.

>>8101299
lol moc toe. thats the ugliest boot redwing makes

Clown shoes. Look at that fucking toebox.

And I fell for the clown shoe meme as well when I came here, bought myself a pair of 1k's thinking I'd be hot shit. Unless you're built and wear knitwear and have a beard you ain't pulling off these kind of workwear fashion boots.

Lucky some thirsty fuccboi on ebay bought them off me.

>>8101554
lmao i am built and do wear lots of knitwear and do have a beard. just cus something popular here doesnt work for you doesnt make it a meme or troll. i also do no poo, bet you think thats a meme too.

>>8101554
>has paranoid schizophrenia

>>8101570
So you're saying you fit into the narrow hipsteresque stereotype I just dreamed up.

Well done, you can pull off fashion work boots. How's that leather sole?

>>8101633
not gonna lie its a bit fucked up, i had to reglue the heel cup once on my right boot. but goddamn theyre so comfy and i get so many compliments on them its more than worth it.

>>8100831
>>8101474
>>8101514
These are my shoes. Moc toe is my beater boot.

>>8101673
& they're Wolverine. Not Red Wing.

I really, really like them. But def not burly enough to pull them off.

>>8101693
GOOD! one of the things i dont see enough of here is an understanding of what works for the individual. hone that ability to optimize for your personal attributes.

>>8101716
boots can work for anybody though..

>>8101726
There's a style for everyone, sure. But you probably can't pull off workwear boots if you're a twig like half of /fa/

>>8101732
I guess. I'm not built, but am 6'2" 170lb. Guess it helps.

>>8101225
>copper (imo the best finish) however is significantly more expensive at $309
There's a shortage of copper rough tough at the moment.
Almost everyone is out, and apparently the Red wing tannery is having probs making more of that leather.

Fuck.
It is the best color.

>>8102091
hawthorne looks like it could be cool with a little wear and some tone added by mink oil. ever see that pic of them with the slight green shade in the leather? fucking amazing.

>>8102103
I don't like that roughout type, gets too dirty.

Bought amber, wrong size. Lusting after copper and those stress point color changes.

dat patina

amber's fucking boring as fuck in comparison

>>8102119
yeah i love my copper's color range, but amber seems to be the most durable of all the finishes. they waxy surface on it seems alot more abrasion resistant.

good luck finding your boots homie, dont pay too much

>>8101633
I too fit that 'stereotype' that you dreamed up and I wear 1k's. Being a sensible human being, I took my boots to my cobbler and had him put sole protectors on them. Now I can just go to him whenever I wear them down and he will either put new ones on or just fix them.

Imagine not hating on something just because you had a bad experience or because it is popular.

>>8102126
>dont pay too much
gonna have to since I'm not in the US, and retailers have been forbidden from exporting RW shoes by RW.
Dammit.

what do you guys think about llbean's engineer boots?
http://www.llbean.com/llb/shop/49464?feat=629-GN1&page=men-s-katahdin-iron-works-engineer-boots&attrValue_0=Brown&productId=848549

>>8101554
Same thing here. Bought them thinking i was hot shit. Realized i looked like a clown. Got rid of them.

>>8102301
I personally find they look better and have a better profile than iron rangers, but that's just my opinion. I can't attest to build and leather quality however, but I do know they're made by Chippewa or whatever.

Is this thread full of kids without real jobs?

>>8102462

>shilling those shitty chinese boots
MFA pls

Honestly if you want workwear looking boots you should just shell out the 250-200 more and get dayton service boots.

>>8102132
lmao you fell for the clown shoe meme as well

cop or not?

>>8102842
They look too goblincore for me.

>>8101554
good thing I was /fit/ before I was /fa/
:) if you're not 160+ and over 5'10 theres a 100% chance you'll look like a midget homo clown

>>8102462
>>8102842
Way too pointy

>>8102842
I like chelsea boots but not those. Try Loake.

>>8100647
mite post a fit when I get out

>>8102301
I got a pair of Chippewa apaches. They're as nice as any red wings I've seen or worn, but they are 100$ cheaper

I don't see iron rangers on the street nearly as often as you'd think, the way people talk about them. only red wings that I really see a lot are the 8138s

I see common projects more often than I see iron rangers

but I'm in Toronto so red wing might be bigger in the US

one time I saw IRs they really did look like clown shoes though. I think you need a very specific foot size and shape to pull them off

>>8102301
I'm a fan. I went with Iron Rangers only because they fit me slightly better, but really there's very little between them.

So Iron Rangers are clown shoes, but giant fucking Docs aren't?

>>8104978
it's about shape, not size

Repost from recent cop thread cuz boots
>bitchin border to avoid repost issue

I got Oak Street Bootmakers captoe trench.

Less clown toe, still think vibergs might have been better, If I could ever find them.

>tfw 5'7" 130lbs ottermode and still can't pull shit I want to off, becuse 5'7". I really am fucking pissed about this.

Just a tid bit of information here....

Don't ever stand at a bar with your iron rangers....some dumbass my just spill his whole beer on them :(


Luckily I was able to repair them myself utilizing red wings leather cleaner and mint oil

>>8106367
lol

I went tracking through mud in my katahdins and now I have mud between the upper and the lower sole. How do I get that shit off? Tried blasting it with water, but I don't want it to ruin the boot. Need to condition these fuckers since I'm done with em for the season.

>>8106654
Dude I treat my katahdins like garbage, don't fucking worry your pretty little head about ruining them. They are a durable boot.

>>8106671
Eh I suppose. I just worry about letting the leather crack is all. The weather is extremely dry year-round in my town, so I try to keep my nicer leather goods conditioned as best as possible

Just on sizing, when you guys got your IR's, what size did you get compared to your usual shoe size?

I'm usually a 9, but followed the the usual internet bad advice and got a 7.5 and an 8 to try. Both too small (8 only just). 9 was too loose. Maybe I'll go 8.5.

It's jst that I read everywhere about folks sizing down a whole to 1.5 sizes with these fuckign things.

Maybe I'll just go TTS.

>>8106654
do you mean between the upper and the midsole? if so, I usually use a toothbrush and water for that

>manlet
>feet are a half size too small for men's shoes
>can't ever wear Red Wings

Resorted to buying these after years of trying to find decent looking boots for my tiny feet. Its a hard life trying to find nice clothes for my short-ass self...

Dayton boots master race

>>8108345
what size are your feet?

>>8108446
Haha damn I can relate to that way too well.

>>8108447
UK 5.5, most mens shoes start at a 6. The conversion from UK to US shoes seems to vary a lot but for the most part UK 5.5 seems to be US 6.5, which means US mens shoe start at a 7. Vans seem to say that UK 5.5 is a US 7 but nowhere else seems to go by that conversion.

>>8108476
jeezuz christ how smal is ur dick

>>8108496
u know there aint correlation right? thats some old myth

>>8108417
Too poor for vibergs I see.

How's it feel settling for mediocre second best?

>>8108417
youre selling that arent you?

I have Katahdin Iron Workers which are like half the price but also dont look nearly as good IMO. i wear the shit out of them though, including through canadian winter

>>8108842
visvim virgils>>>vibergs

>>8109851
>made in china jap boots
You some sorta commie?

>>8109892

>>8109851
vibergs def better quality, visvim slipping with their shit mayne.

me raisey pricies and lower quality for these baka gaijins

>>8110007
i heard that too. i still prefer the virgils for streetwear fits.

>>8106427
Focus on what you can pull off, not on what you can't.

>had a chance to cop at 30% retail
>hesitated and they sold out
>thinking real hard bout that sudoku

>>8110055
yeah thats true, i wish i had the money for virgils, but for the price to quality, it'd make more sense to buy iron rangers or some shit. wish there were more boots for streetwear fits :/

>>8110099
those ones are hella ugly, you didn't miss out on anything

70% off for a reason

>>8110306

>>8100550
Redwing does repairs at their shops.

>>8101474
Looks ok 2 me

Is it possible to wear boats without skinny jeans?

What's the sizing like on the Iron Rangers?

People always say to size down on Red Wings, but I tried on a pair of their moc toe lug sole and it felt true.

>>8111710
What's the sizing like on your moms pussy

>>8111714
rough night, eh?

>>8111721
Rougher than fucking your dads ass raw what you think you virtuous trying to break the 4th wall and get meta go fall on glass and instinctively put your hands out and get glass in your palms nerd

>>8111688
because I am 6'3" (1.90) and 210 pounds (95) kg. And I have thick thighs. I just look like a jester in skinny jeans.. Pic kinda related of what I am heading for

I went with wingtips. I like them, they don't look like clown shoes at all. I am fairly built though. I mostly wear them to work.

Anyone have recommendations for black or grey boots? Looking for something a little more edgy/rock and roll. I hate chelsea boots btw

>>8111750
the dayton service boots in black nubuck are pretty rock and roll imo. the slim profile is a little metro and the colour is between grey and black. they're about 5hunny though.

>>8111755
those are perfect except the price... goddamnit. Maybe in a few months.

>>8100574
hehe

>>8108345
Please please please recommend some brands for somewhat affordable dress shoes.

>>8111758
i hear that, man. shop around though. i copped these rag & bone boots unworn from grailed for $100 to do me for the mo.
